With the upcoming holiday season on my brain, I picked up this top in a tartan pattern (30% off with code MERRYDAY until 11/19). The festive colors were what initially caught my eyes, but it was the extra ruffle detailing around the collar and down the front that cinched the deal. A masculine style shirt with feminine touches? Yes please. With this contrast in mind, I styled the outfit with pants but accessorized with girly elements (red bag, heels, pearls). Here's to the holidays!

It's just my luck to have the camera capture me mid-shot looking like I forgot how to stand/walk/pose in flats after wearing heels for consecutive days *facepalm* On the upside, the awkwardness inspired the perfect pun for today's blog post title.

Have a good weekend!

It took me awhile to warm up to brown/gold (prefer black/silver), but over time, I've accumulated variations of both colors in my wardrobe. To date, I still think this olive-brown cardigan I'm wearing under the blazer is one of the hardest colors to pair. As the main color, it sometimes reminds me of vomit, but as an accent color, no such thoughts cross my mind. I suppose for some things, less is more.

I'm often late to the game when it comes to fashion choices. The most recent example? Jeggings. I've tried on many over the years (the latest being Old Navy rockstars) but haven't come across one that felt right, until now.

Having had luck with LOFT jeans in the past, I figured I'd give their jeggings a try. I went with my usual size, 24R, and really liked how I pulled them over my ankles with ease without having to hop up and down. The next issue I usually have is the comfort level. Most jeggings make me feel like a stuffed sausage, but this pair was so comfortable, both sitting and standing.

I washed the jeans once before wearing them for the first time, but there was still some denim transfer. I should've known better than to wear it with a light colored trench (!) Sigh. At least it happened on the inside lining.

The LOFT denim jeggings are currently on sale for $41.70 (40% off from $69.50) with code FRIENDS until tonight 11/12.

Another weekend post, another casual outfit. Have a great weekend, everyone!
