Monochrome + Monogram

by 9 Comments

Gray Cowl Neck Sweater

Believe me, I’m normally all green-red-glitter-plaid from Thanksgiving Day through New Year’s Eve, but lazying about one day over the long weekend recently, this monochromatic look fell together, and it was a refreshing break from all of the holiday brights.

Marley Lilly Monogrammed Clutch

Some black & white details: my monogrammed clutch [only a few more months to rock this monogram y’all, let me have my fun!] is Marley Lilly, and I also adore this metallic gold one— perfect for holiday parties when you do need a little shine.

I’ve wanted polka dot Keds forEVS, and the team there was nice enough to send me a pair from their fall line! They have the lightest bit of fur, so suddenly wearing tennis shoes in December doesn’t sounds that weird 😉 Also seriously obsessed with their ribbon shoelaces.

Whatcha think– are you festive all season long, or do you opt for some black-white-gray days too?

Comfy Cozy Chic

I hate turtlenecks.

At least on me, that is. It’s a long running joke in my family. They are just far from flattering with my round face + forever rosy cheeks.

That being said, this cozy number on H&M’s $10 rack I spotted last week was just too soft and warm to resist. So I gave in and went against my number one fashion rule. I wore a turtleneck.

See, apparently I won’t even let you really see my face in it.

Linking up on this winter Wednesday with The Pleated Poppy for WIWW!
