Two-Tone Beauties

This was just a casual outfit I wore out to Winnetka on Saturday. Since I was going to be indoors for most of my day I decided on an outfit with lots of light layers, which worked out quite well.

I've talked about this blazer a lot, but it's never been on here. It's the same as my green plaid one you have seen me wear many times from Target. I liked it so much I had to get the camel too. It's a great neutral layering piece for when you don't want to wear a full-on winter coat quite yet. Plus, I love the blue stripe lining at the cuffs! It was a great deal for $35.

Last fall I had an obsession with Kourtney Kardashian's Chanel two-tone riding boots, so I went on a hunt to find similar ones at a non-Chanel price point. Every pair I ordered (and there were at least 4) were either too big on the calf or just looks flat-out cheap until I found these beauties. Some seller on this site appeared to be hoarding these sold out boots and selling them. I haggled the price down a bit which made it even sweeter! This seller still has some sizes left! Get 'em while you can!

Jeans: Zara Faded Skinny Jeans, Two Tone Boots: Etienne Aigner, Bag: Vintage coach Willis in British Tan, Watch: Michael Kors, Bracelet: Forever 21, Scarf: Zara (last seen here), Blazer: Target, White top, H&M

Before I left I tried out this scarf. I'm trying to decide if I should keep it or return it. What do you think? It's royal blue and black. Only 13 bucks from H&M.

Under the Influence

You may have noticed from my blog profile picture that I already own this Painters tee in another stripe color pattern. I have had the tan and black one for a while but when I saw this blue and white one on Possessionista.com (LOVE HER!) on this post from the show "The New Girl' where Jess wore it in the opening scene, I knew I had to have it! Off to the phones I went where the good people at J Crew hunted one down for me and shipped it over with 25% off the sale price too!

And in case you haven't seen enough capes from me, here is cape number 3! Only one more left in the collection.

Things I Love: Saturday BONUS!

Another Saturday bonus mish-mosh post of super cute(and mostly cheap) items I'm loving right now. I've had my eye on some of them for awhile now and hopefully I'll have the will power to wait till Christmas for some of them!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

What Lies Beneath

I've been meaning to start displaying my ever-growing collection of cape coats (this one is from last year), but it's either been too hot or too cold! Yesterday was just right for all these easy layers, so here they are from top to bottom. 

Is this the first time I've ever worn a hat on the blog? Well folks get used to it! I like hats just like I like a good pair of sunglasses in the summer. Just imagine how happy I am when I can wear a winter hat AND shades! That's one happy head!

I bought this cape last year for a mere $25

 Got this rugby-stripe top at j crew for a ridiculous $13!

 Last years staple brown boots in my wardrobe, Fivvy by Vince Camuto

Remember Last Week?

Remember last week when it was 80 out? Yeah, not so much today. I still have the memory of the warm weather looking at these pics though!

I'm ashamed to admit it but I have had these purple pants long enough to have paid full price for them from J Crew months back but had just now gotten around to wearing them now. Ridiculous, I know! So if your interested they are now on sale at stores well under what I paid for them.
