Just as I thought I was done needing my snow boots we got hit with a Nor'easter last week and had about a foot of snow in the yard.  But that gave me a chance to break them out for this week's throwback outfit! I wore this for a day of working at the house and then headed out to run some errands. I was too lazy to put on makeup so I just dabbed on some red lipstick so my face wasn't so bare. (Not that I normally wear a lot of makeup, just blush and mascara, haha)

The original:

I bought this sweater with a Pearls & Plaid gift card I won from the Connecticut Bloggers brunch back in August. The fit is a little strange since the shoulder area is tight and the rest is a looser fit, but I really like this shade of green and I don't have anything else this color in my closet! It's worn here with another new closet addition - floral mules from my Mom for my birthday!

Hello dark but bright photos! My dad and I were forced into using the flash for these photos because I got to the house when it was already dark. It wasn't as dark as the photos suggest, but that's what happens.  This is a bit of a strange outfit because of how it came about. My house is really cold during the day (I'm trying not to turn the heat on yet) so while I was working I put on this big sweater and jeans. When the time came to go out to dinner I didn't feel like changing so I threw on some heels and big accessories to compensate.

It's starting to get chilly out there! We've had a few days with flurries lately, so a huge snowstorm can't be far behind. This sweater is one of my favorites, and it's from the men's department! Last year on a trip to Marshalls I wandered over to the men's section and saw a chunky purple sweater. Since purple is my favorite color I decided to pull it out, turns out it was MARC JACOBS and a size Small, I could totally wear that, although it would be over-sized. I am constantly wearing this sweater because it is so warm and cozy!

So, there you have it ladies, just because it's labeled "men" doesn't mean you can't wear it.  I also buy the men's tshirts from Everlane just because I like a longer sleeve and looser fit.

It was flurrying a bit while I was taking these pictures. Good thing these boots have a weather-appropriate bottom! I actually wore them last year after a huge snowstorm and they were almost better than my snow boots.

(psst...one week until Christmas!)

In stark contrast to yesterday's post, I love this outfit!  I have been wanting to wear these Tabitha Simmons boots since I bought them in July and was waiting for the perfect occasion. It seemed like that would never happen, so I made the occasion and just wore them on a plain old regular day!

They retailed for $1900 and I paid $74 after being very patient! I had seen them at Roundabout a few times before I actually bought them. Sadly, even though they were discounted, they were still expensive. When they had a 60% off sale, I scooped them up (along with a Burberry dress and cashmere sweater)! I featured them back in 2011 when Net-a-Porter debuted their "Runway to Green" collection where a portion of the sales went to leading environmental organizations. It's always funny when I end up buying something I shared on my blog years before.

Some days you just feel like wearing all one color (but not black.) I almost wore a burgundy tee with this outfit and changed my mind. It may be a bit much for some people, but since burgundy is one of my favorite colors I'm totally okay with it. I've been neglecting these leopard jeans as of late and I don't know why, because they're one of my favorite pairs. The print is nice and subtle so it's not overpowering.

It's getting chilly out there, folks! Lately, while I've been working, my hands have been freezing cold! We haven't turned the heat on in the house yet, trying to hold out. And I also don't want to start using my mini space heater for a few more weeks because once it goes on I will become addicted! This Witchery sweater is definitely helpful on cold days, it's super warm and perfectly oversized!

It's almost been one year since I added these Burberry Prorsum loafers to my wardrobe and I'm still so glad I splurged on them last year.  Is it weird that I remember when I bought certain pieces of clothing? I guess that's a good thing, because it shows I made a good choice in buying something if I make the effort to remember our anniversary. (Yes, I realize I am very strange)

I'm wearing a few new pieces in this outfit. The first is a purple leopard sweater I picked up at the Jersey Gardens outlet mall two weekends ago, for $19.50! Moving downward we get to this fun bracelet I got during New York Fashion Week which, up until now, I had been afraid to wear in fear of it getting caught on things. FYI: It didn't, but I had to make sure it didn't go into my ketchup pile at dinner.

Finally, we get to my feet and these amazing Phillip Lim boots I bought months ago during the Barney's Warehouse Memorial Day sale. The non-fur parts are a little plasticy looking but I think the calf hair makes up for it! They also make a plain leather version and metallic gold, but I think these are a mix of both - fun and practical.

This blazer has been in my closet for 8 years and my love for it has never faltered.  It was my first designer buy and it's longevity proves I made the right choice all those years ago! I wore this for a quick trip to NYC last week to see a friend I haven't seen since our trip to London 2 years ago!  After that I headed to New Jersey for dinner at a friends house.

I can already tell that these boots my mom bought at Marshalls for my birthday are going to be getting a LOT of wear this Fall/Winter! They are classic, basic and super comfortable! I walked through NYC and an outlet mall in Jersey in them with no pain.  And these Mother Denim jeans are more like sweatpants because they're so soft! I'm not even sure if I should consider them jeans, but I do.

Say hello to one of my birthday presents: a Tory Burch "Brady" cardigan! A couple weekends ago my mom took my sister and I out birthday shopping. We went to Marshalls (two locations) and TJ Maxx! This was one of our TJ Maxx finds, they had a few other Tory Burch pieces but this one was calling my name. I always love Tory's clothes but this is the first piece I've ever owned! FINALLY! Sadly her regular prices are just too much for me.

The sweater perfectly matches my thrifted Ferragamo skirt, how convenient. Sadly the skirt doesn't get much wear because I find it a little hard to style. But at only $10 it was worth it. See how I wore it here and here.

This past weekend we were given a taste of Fall with cooler temperatures so I decided to wear one of my favorite lighter sweaters. I got so many great accessories during fashion week and find myself wearing them every day, so don't be surprised if you see them quite a bit.  I wore this outfit to check out the Altuzarra for Target collection. I was bad and bought 6 things (2 in store, 4 online.) When the online order arrives I'll choose a couple things to keep, if what I bought online doesn't fit it will be that much easier to decide, haha.  I wasn't expecting the cooler weather to last, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that Fall is finally here to stay!
