Chico's Chic!

Hello Fashionistas!

As we transition into spring, a few lightweight pieces to the wardrobe are a must!  I love when we get to spring forward mode because the days get longer and I thrive on sunshine!  I also enjoy that I get to wear some lighter pieces, especially in outerwear. By this time in the season I am so tired of heavy coats! Where are my flip-flops? This Chico's coat is one of my favorites!  The colors are great and it is a lightweight boiled wool.

The coat is colorful in a neutral kind of  way and the stripes are well placed.  It has a hidden zipper and pockets.  I paired it with a Talbots Cashmere Collection sweater and a Talbots "crinkle" scarf.  The hat is one of my go-to's...Coldwater Creek.  The sunglasses are Gucci.  The earings were a gift from my mom and she scored these lovely double sided pearl studs at T.J. Maxx, I get so many compliments on them. LOVE that place!

As you can see this coat is adorable.  Perfect for looking pulled together in a hurry.  It also lends itself to great accessories.  It moves well, its is comfortable to wear and the fabric and details are just right.  Oh, and it has nice pockets for that ever present cell phone and lipstick!

I hope you have enjoyed this post!  Thanks for subscribing and feel free to let others know about my blog.  The more the merrier!

Wishing you a very Happy Monday!

Oversized Sweater and Chicos Leggings

Happy New 2018!  Who doesn't want to start the year in comfort while looking stylish!?  The Christmas season can be so hectic.  By the time the New Year rolls around I want to go into "hibernation" mode!  Well, who am I kidding?  An oversized boxy pullover sweater and animal print leggings are just what I like and it checks off all the must haves!  This cozy black sweater is by BCBGMAXAZARIA.  It has a soft turtleneck and wide short sleeves.  I love adding long necklaces...the more merrier, right?  

These animal print leggings are sooo comfortable AND stylish.  They are from one of my favorite places to shop...CHICOS!  You could dress them up or down.  Cute ballet flats would look so effortless while running errands and hitting up all the after Christmas sales.   I paired this outfit with some peep toe stacked heel booties from New York & CO.  Maybe drinks with the girls or date night with your sweetie after all that shopping?

Are these booties not perfect?  New York & CO is not my usual go-to for shoe shopping but I saw them and knew they would work with so many outfits!  FYI...nails are OPI Red, just sayin'.....

This is the perfect outfit to start the new year.  Comfortable and stylish. The sweater is longer in the back so it covers you beautifully. (I love that it is hiding all the egg nog I enjoyed last month)  And who doesn't love a little animal print in the mix?  Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my blog.  Your support means a lot!  I wish you and yours a very HEALTHY, HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS 2018!
