25 days of winter fashion 2017

Well, we did it! 25 winter outfits down, and another seasonal style challenge is in the books! It doesn't matter how many of these I do, I'm always amazed at the end that I actually pulled it off.

Greetings, friends! Today Cyndi and I are wrapping up our 25 Days of Winter Fashion style collab, and I'm sharing a casual winter outfit with some of my favorite wardrobe basics as well as a new scarf and a pair of distressed jeans that are priced well under $100.  

Good morning, and happy Monday! Today is Day 24 of 25 Days  of Winter Fashion, if you can believe it! I have a look I'm calling a New Year's Eve party outfit, but it would work for any type of holiday event that calls for a festive sweater, black jeans, and pumps.

Good morning and happy Friday! Just like that, another week has flown by. Today I'm sharing a simple winter outfit that I've had on repeat lately with a rolled turtleneck and suede loafers.

One of the most wearable trends this year is velvet, and I've been wanting to incorporate it more into my wardrobe. A velvet dress is perfect for a company holiday party, I love the idea of a velvet cami under a leather jacket with jeans for a girls' night out, and velvet pumps are a great way to jazz up a date night outfit. You know how I love a great pair of jeans, so when I saw these velvet pants at LOFT, I knew I needed them in my life.

The older I get, the more I appreciate the value of a fitted jacket. The younger girls can get away with the oversized, slouchy sweaters, but after you've had a few kids and gravity has taken its toll, structure is a girl's best friend. Diamonds? Meh. Give me all the structured jackets!

We've been talking lately about quality wardrobe basics and changing up simple looks with accessories, and today's look is another example of that. This camel crewneck cashmere sweater is one I've worn a lot of different ways. I usually like to put a vest or structured jacket on top, but this time I left it plain and added a plaid infinity scarf.

Happy Monday, friends! I hope you all had a good weekend. We went out on Saturday morning to shoot this holiday look before the snow started. While we were taking pictures, it started to fall -- big, fluffy flakes. So pretty!!!

With just a few weeks left until Christmas, I'm making my list and checking it twice. I did the bulk of my shopping over Black Friday/Cyber Monday, but I keep coming across things that would make great gifts. Sometimes I almost wish I had more people to buy for! Today I'm teaming up with Bloomingdale's to share some cold weather apparel and accessories that I think would make great gifts if you still have a few people to check off your list, and of course you can always treat yourself! I'm a big fan of that.

Hello and welcome back to 25 Days of Winter Fashion! I like to have a sweater dress or two in my winter closet, and I'm a sucker for a cowlneck top, so when I can combine the two, it's a double win! This cowlneck sweater dress is super soft and cozy, the color is gorgeous and universally flattering, and best of all it's only $40!!!

Greetings, friends! I hope this week is treating you well. Today's outfit is one that I often throw on when I'm looking to be casual and comfortable but I want to be prepared for whatever might come up. I was immediately drawn to this chunky striped sweater when I saw it on Nordstrom's website, but I knew it was meant to be mine when I saw the name of it — Coast of Maine Stripe Sweater.

Hello and welcome back to 25 Days of Winter Fashion! Today we're back to casual and cozy with a cardigan and jeans. I don't find myself gravitating to cardigans very often, but this BP. rib trim long cardigan is $49, super soft, and comes in 4 or 5 colors. It's perfect for wearing with jeans and booties and a cozy scarf.
