Tis the season for holiday parties and crazy weather. Give me all of the sweaters, booties, and beanies you have please and then give me a great party! Lately I've been reaching for chunky knits and lots of layers - basically, anything that reminds me of my bed. Here are a few looks from fellow fashion bloggers that have been inspiring me as of late, and given me a few ideas on what to wear to my office party next week.
Which look is your favorite?
Not sure if we're having a polar vortex moment, doesn't currently feel like it. Regardless, my obsessions with turtlenecks are perfect for this semi-chilly and soon chill-inducing weather. A few of my other winter-weather obsessions range from Motown tunes (YASSS MARY WELLS YASSS), Ottos Tacos, and J. Crew turtlenecks. All healthy obsessions right.

Unfortunately obsessions don't make for a proper polar vortex wardrobe. Last winter was full of lessons learned, like when I wore my Doc Martens instead of all-weather rugged boots and my feet would end up freezing. Or that one time I thought wearing a flimsy tee instead of a chunky knit sweater would suffice - it did not.
This year though, I saved up for Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals and got myself a few great pieces for the winter ahead (some worn here and others on the way). I may not have gotten gifts for others, as I should have (and will regret later) but I did get this chunky sweater - it's so warm, I found myself forgoing my coat when stepping outside. This chunky sweater is also the perfect accomplice to my BEARPAW boots which kept my feet warm and dry #winwin. To make sure I didn't look frumpy in the face area, I slicked my curls back into a ponytail and wore these elegant hoops from The Sak for a chic and well-rounded look.

Also, can you believe it's almost December!! November's weather started off with a strong chill and is surprisingly ending in a weird lukewarm airstream of sorts. I noticed as it gets colder my wardrobe takes a swift plunge into neutrals, and blacks - lots of black! It's pretty funny to think that this time a year ago my closet was lacking in all of the neutrals, oh how the times have changed. I'm still rocking this Joe Fresh moto jacket and this super affordable HM coat and highly recommend them both as closet additions! They're both repeat offenders I don't mind repeating.
My style challenges for December may revolve around cozy but fashionable styles, workout style, and dressing for the holidays. Stay tuned!
Let's do this December!
