Wintery White Outfit

Are you team monochromatic or team mix and match? Well, guess what?!? You can love it all! Usually I am not a matchy- match girl, but I love everything about this look to be honest. I knew when I bought the tensely fuzzy skirt and crop top outfit, see it together here, that I would be using the skirt a lot on it's own for work, date nights and winter events. I stumbled upon this sweater on sale right after Christmas and I love how it pairs well with trousers, jeans, skirts, or over dresses in winter. It's super versatile. Once I put the two pieces together I instantly knew that my white boots and wool coat would complete this look with the gold accessories to add a pop of classy color. And how about this caramel quilted purses that was gifted to me? Isn't it gorgeous! Best part is that the quality of this Italian made purse is amazing. I absolutely love the gold accents in the clasp and also on the strap which you can wear long, short on your forearm, or tuck in and use as a clutch instead. It's quickly become a favorite of mine.

Have a great week friends and remember to pop back in on Thursday for the Ageless Style link-up and check out how we are styling the theme of kindness.

Ageless Style: Winter White With a Splash of Periwinkle

I am here with the ladies of Ageless Style for our monthly link-up, every third Thursday of the month. This months periwinkle color prompt was inspired by Pantones color of the year, Very Peri. Although Very Peri has a distinct violet red undertone, Periwinkle has a border spectrum of blue and violet hues. I decided to use my Periwinkle blazer as my pop of color in a winter white outfit. I love how this combination came together. I am a big fan of monochromatic looks but this time I decided to add a twist of soft color with the blazer, and then the booties are navy suede staying in the same blue family. I kept my jewelry really soft and subtle with winter whites, sliver and soft pastels beads in my bracelet. With the freshly fallen snow as a a backdrop the pictures came out even better than I could have imagined. I recently wore this exact outfit to work. People always wonder how I can wear white as a prekindergarten teacher, but I honestly don't ever worry about it much. Bleach is my best friend and I've had these white jeans for YEARS!

This blazer has become a favorite of mine since buying it in early fall and you can see how I've styled it here in three different ways. One of my goals in the fall was to add more blazers to my wardrobe because they pair so well with jeans, dress pants, and dresses. I also like how in the spring and summer they can easily be substituted for a coat and they instantly dress an outfit up.

Be sure to check out all the Ageless Style ladies and how they interpreted this prompt for more ideas, and be sure to link-up with us below. Thank you for stopping by and this Thursday post is instead of my weekly Monday, Jan. 24th post. See you the following Monday!
