Cozy Kitty Outfit of The Day

Hi everyone... or shall I say Meow!? It has been really chilly lately so I decided to brave the cold with some faux fur and kitty ears. This outfit has the two main characteristics that I look for in a typical Fall/Winter outfit. It is most importantly warm and second it is totally comfortable! I love dressing up but some days, especially cold days, I just want to be casual and cozy.

My overall look is relaxed and rather monochrome but I decided to add a bold pop of color with a bright turquoise handbag which I thought complemented my pink hair well. I got my cat eared beanie headband from Hot Topic over the weekend for $12.99. It is super warm and I thought it would be adorable on the slopes this season! My grey skinny jeans are from Hot Topic as well. You should check out their denim section if you haven't already. I'm always pleasantly surprised by their great selection and even better prices. My black knitted jacket with faux fur collar is from Guess. The collar is removable which adds versatility and makes washing a whole lot easier. Completing my warm winter outfit are my black Mongolian fur Ugg boots. Here kitty, kitty.

What I'm Wearing:

Black Cat Ear Beanie- Hot Topic

Black Faux Fur Jacket- Guess

Grey Skinny Jeans- Hot Topic

Black Mongoloian Fur Ugg Boots- Ugg Australia

Turquoise Handbag- I'm Haute- Available Here

Purple Chiffon Blouse and Leopard Print Blazer

and pink hair, oh my!

When I first dyed my hair pink I felt rather limited by my wardrobe. I was afraid that color would clash with my bright pink locks so I stuck with all black outfits for the first few days. That didn't last very long! I love color, hence my colorful hair, so I've recently been experimenting with some different hues. I've found that I like how purples and blues look with my hair... and leopard print is the new black so that's always a safe "color". Haha. 

My purple chiffon blouse came in the mail from Le Tote on Tuesday. I've been thinking about what to wear it with since I received it. Just my luck, this beautiful blouse didn't look good with any of the options I was pairing it with in my head and now my bed is totally covered with clean discarded clothes. Tell me you do this too? My white skinny pants had just been washed so they were in a separate "to be hung up" pile on my bed, I slipped them on and then everything else fell into place. I love when that happens! If only it had happened sooner, I'd have less clothes to hang up later tonight... err tomorrow... ok, ok, Saturday! *don't judge me* To save yourself the mess, a good tip to remember when you're trying to make outfits from separates is that opposites attract. For the most part, you want to pair loose bottoms with tight tops and tight bottoms with loose tops. 

 My Rose Indien Mini Alma Bag doesn't match with much so I was super stoked when I saw the color of this Le Tote chiffon blouse! I swear the lighting in the Louis Vuitton store was deceiving because I remember my purse being more pink than purple. I guess Rose Indien just looks different under various types of lights because sometimes my purse even appears to be a deep red which it most certainly is not. It is a bit of a chameleon purse.

I have literally owned these leopard print heels for seven years! Leopard print never really goes out of style so I've held onto them and wear them at least a handful of times each year. They are a great and edgy alternative for nude heels and pair nicely with so many different outfits.

Yellow Moto Jacket & Leopard Print

I guess I'm a bit spoiled by the So Cal weather... I can and do wear maxi dresses year round. My obsession with maxi dresses is deep rooted in their comfort. To me, maxi dresses are as comfy as my favorite pajamas but way more socially acceptable and fashionable. For this beautiful fall day I topped off my leopard print maxi dress with a fun vegan leather moto jacket in bright yellow. The leaves on the trees are just starting to change colors and coincidentally they match my outfit perfectly! (I'm easily amused) My yellow ruffle peep toe booties have been in closet for a few years. I absolutely adore them but they are rather difficult to wear because they are not a common yellow. I have bought several yellow items in hopes that they would match these cute shoes but to no avail. When I recently got my yellow moto jacket I had no grand expectations of these difficult shoes matching. My booties are not really the exact same color as my yellow moto jacket but they are pretty darn close! So I just went for it.

Tips for wearing a Maxi Dress in Fall:

• Stay away from colors and patterns that scream summertime. Bright florals and beachy prints are better kept for warmer weather. Animal prints, stripes and darker hues are fair game for fall.
• If the weather is really chilly layer a pair of fleece lined leggings underneath your maxi dress. Make sure you pull them up so that your dress hides the bottom of the leggings. You'll be warm and toasty and no one will be the wiser.
• Top off your maxi dress with a fall staple like a leather jacket or cropped blazer for added warmth. You can even through on your favorite scarf. 
• These boots were made for walking... boots and maxi dresses are great for fall. Try flat riding boots, combat boots or cowboy boots for a casual feel. To dress up you look reach for a pair of high-heeled booties.

Fall Layers Outfit of the Day

I know that is has officially been Fall for some time now but to me it starts to feel like Fall when Daylight Savings ends. It's so crazy! We fall back an hour and all of a sudden the weather is cold, the California sunshine is gone and it is time to bring on the layers! Here is my newest fall outfit that features a bunch of cozy layers and a mixture of trendy Fall textures. Fall is all about layers, which gives you plenty of room for playing around with different fabrics. When mixing several different textures it is best to keep your color pallet neutral/muted. Layering several different colors and textures looks fabulous when perfectly executed but is easily over-done. Here I played it safe with classic neutral hues while taking a risk with faux leather leggings, a fringed hobo bag and layered knits.

What I'm Wearing:

Faux Leather Leggings- I'm Haute

Beige Knitted Sweater- Tart Collections

Black Fringed Hobo Bag- I'm Haute

Black Stud Earrings- Chanel

Charcoal Grey Sweater & Booties- My Closet

Cute Fall Outfit: Bow Sweater

My favorite outfits for Fall and Winter are warm and comfortable. Sure I put a high priority on looking fashionable but for everyday outfits warmth and comfort come first. I feel like this fall outfit is the best of all those qualities. My bow sweater is super stretchy, making it comfortable and the sequin bow detail is totally adorable. My black pants are stretchy as well. You could wear your favorite skinny jeans or even most leggings with this bow sweater, just be sure the leggings are not too thin. See through or super clingy leggings should never be worn as pants. Those types of leggings should be worn the same way you would wear nylons.

My accessories are minimal but fabulous! My black circle sunglasses have been my favorite all summer long and I still can't put them down. I'm also rather obsessed with single-soled heels at the moment. I just think they are so chic. These silver ones are the most comfortable single-soled heels I've ever owned. I find myself wanting to wear them everyday and wishing that I had them in ever color! I feel like this has turned into a "Confessions of a Shoe Addict" meeting or something, lol.
