Petite Panoply

There are quite a few outfits backlogged from last year that I have to show you in the new year so I hope you don't mind! Argyle always screams "holiday time" to me but I still enjoy styling this sweater in the early months of the year. It could definitely be part of a Valentine's Day-inspired look too. Plus red and black is a classic combination year round.  This outfit included a new black skater skirt I ordered from an Old Navy sale. I got the regular version instead of the petite one since reviews said the petite one was a little short. Honestly, I think an inch or so off the length would be fine for me. I like to wear flats pretty often and longer skirts look better with heels. Not that this skirt is long by any means. In these pictures it looks like a decent length but I'm wearing heels. It's also a tiny bit big in the waist but that can be fixed! Either way it's a good basic piece to have around, which is why I bought it. For it's first ...

Happy Friday everyone! Here's yet another outfit that could easily be worn for a holiday get-together. I guess I've just been in a festive outfit mood. The snowy Illinois background really helps set the mood too. This argyle sweater will be a staple in my winter wardrobe for years to come. It's so classic and really nice quality too. I paired it with my faux leather skater skirt and some polka dot tights this time. An outfit I wore last year pairing this argyle sweater with a red wool skirt is one of my most viewed posts, so I'm going to assume people like this sweater as much as I do. I also added a big red bow to my hair and a Christmas pin to keep things in the festive spirit.  sweater: izod - sam's club | skirt: forever 21 | tights: kmart | boots: boohoo | bow: euberah | pin: found it in my drawer?

I like trying to wear my spring and summer dresses in a winter-appropriate manner. It had been a while since I wore my off white lace dress, so it was definitely time. I actually came up with this outfit while I was hanging up clothes in my closet. I had the dress out on the bed and the gray argyle cardigan ended up on top of the dress. There was a tiny flashbulb moment and an outfit was born! I wore this over the weekend while hanging out with my family. It's actually a pretty comfy outfit. Cardigans with dresses are usually the most comfortable clothes combinations for me. dress, cardigan: forever 21 | moccasins: old navy | belt: thrifted | tights: target kids' section I've had these moccasins since freshman year of college and they're still going strong. I didn't wear them all that much the past couple years, but I've been wearing them pretty frequently this winter. I just really like the color. Plus they add a nice touch of comfy co...

Happy Friday everyone! Congratulations on surviving the apocalypse. It was tough work, I know. I wore this outfit the other day for some relative-visiting and mall-shopping. Apparently wearing a beret means I look French. My grandma said I looked like 40's France. I love my berets though and feel like I should wear them more often. Wearing a hat always brightens my day a little bit. argyle sweater: izod - sam's club | skirt, belt: thrifted | striped tights: romwe | ankle boots: xhileration - target | black beret: h&m | earrings: mom's How do you like my little carriage earrings? They were Mom's, but she gave them to me. I actually think they're supposed to be Christmas earrings, so I usually wait until this season to wear them. This whole outfit was kind of festive with the argyle sweater and bright red skirt. I could have worn it for celebrating Christmas on Sunday over at my grandparents', but I wore this same skirt there for Christmas two yea...
