Who doesn't love a good blazer or curling up with a good book? This blazer wraps both into one. I don't wear it much since it's such a statement piece but it's one of my favorite blazers.  I wish I wasn't still wearing blazers at this point in the year, but what can you do? Sometimes Winter just wants to stick around.

For this outfit I was inspired by Farfetch's brand new Style Guide. They have an article on why velvet should be your go-to fabric and I completely agree! It's one of my favorites to wear because it's luxurious, fun and soft! It can be worn in any season now thanks to all the different styles that are offered. Velvet now comes in slip dresses, blazers, pants and more!

It's also my blog's 7th anniversary today...how crazy is that?!! In the beginning I never planned on sharing my outfits, and now look at me! 4 times a week!

Capes. They rock! Especially this one because it's cashmere and was only $30! It has only made a few appearances on the blog, but I throw it on whenever I want to feel like I'm wrapped in a blanket. I'm rather enjoying how my hair looks in the last photo, too bad it doesn't do that all the time!  That’s all there is to say today, rather short winded, I’m afraid.

EXCEPT:  Notice something new?! On Wednesday I decided to finally give the blog a little upgrade. I finished customizing it that night but decided to actually update the theme last night to start fresh before the weekend! I got my theme from SoraTemplates (see the one I used here.) It wasn't exactly what I wanted, luckily my first job was in programming, so I made my own adjustments (and buttons for bloglovin, like to know it and fohr card)

What do you think? Let me know if there are any bugs.

Guess what today is... My 4 year blog anniversary! I can't believe it's been four years since I started this little blog. In those years I've met new friends, some of which have become real life friends too. I started this blog not planning to post any outfits, and now 4 years later I have shared over 450 outfits. I've done a photoshoot for one of my favorite online stores and was chosen to be part of Marshalls Project Fab. Slowly but surely this blog is helping me overcome my fear of social situations, something I've struggled with for years. And now it's on to the next adventure!

Apparently I was into green this week, ha ha. It was gorgeous, weather-wise this week, except for bits of rain, which are only fun when you're able to be inside with a blanket watching movies.

Monday: Sweater: Kenar c/o Marshalls, Skirt: Chanel (Roundabout Resale), Shoes: MICHAEL Michael Kors (DSW), Necklace: Acanthus Jewelry (giveaway) Watch: Skagen (Rue La La), Rings: vintage, Brilliant Imports & Mom's

Tuesday:  Top: Winter Kate (Hautelook), Jeans: J Brand c/o Marshalls, Wedges: Steve Madden (DSW), Necklace: SparkleFarm (etsy), Watch: Skagen (Rue La La), Rings: vintage, Brilliant Imports & Mom's

I can't believe it has been three years since I started this blog! It is really funny looking back at my old posts, most of them are horrible but I refuse to delete them.  It shows how much I have grown in so many aspects.  Blogging has helped me in so many ways. I am slowly becoming more talkative in social situations and I think I have to thank my blogging buddies (you know who you are!) for some of that.  Speaking of blogger friends, it has been so amazing meeting bloggers over these past few years, many of which are now real life friends as opposed to just internet.

In honor of the blogiversary here is a tiny selection of some of my favorite outfits/posts over the past 1,095 days! Sorry there are so many! I narrowed it down a bit for you though.

Looking through all my posts made me want to revive and old series I used to do, Obscure Movies, but no one really commented on them so I stopped.  I posted my favorite, unknown to most people, movies.  What do you think?
