Hunter and Camel

I was so excited to wear these pants (that I though looked a lot like these Paige Edgemont pants) to work. Then, I walked past a door in my classroom and got stuck to it by the zippers on the side of the pants! It ripped them BOTH off without a trace of the zippers! It was pretty strange. I also happened to be teaching personification that day, which lead to a nice example of "the door ate your teacher's zippers" or "the door attacked me."

WEEKEND WANTS!

A few comments about these wants.
1. The blue pumps are from Forever 21 and they only have 7 and 7.5 online still. Check local stores.

2. Both bags are from the Nordstrom Half-yearly sale. GOIN ON NOW! Check it out!

3. This pink sweatshirt is by far my favorite thing I've purchased in months. I actually told my husband I will be spending my 30's in this sweatshirt. (I bought 3! I'm wearing the green one right now as I type:) I HIGHLY recommend buying one! Gap 30% sale going on till Monday.

4. This bow sweater from J Crew Factory I tried on in the outlet back on my Anniversary trip and I wish I would have bought it then. Regret.

5. This chevron dress I have been thinking about for months now and I just couldn't get over how perfect it was for winter. I finally pulled the trigger considering they gave me a 20% off discount for being a first-time buyer on the site!

6. The quilted boots I ordered last night. I saw a woman at a bus stop wearing green quilted boots and I couldn't get them out of my head. These are only $67. I will let you know how they turn out when they arrive.

Ok, that's all for me. Have a great weekend!

Peplum Love

It's no news that I love peplum, but most of my options since this love affair started have been of the sleeveless variety. When I saw this peplum coat at H&M on a recent shopping trip with Amy I was sold! Finally some cold-weather peplum!

I wore it out last weekend here but this time it was minus the hot pink leather gloves!

The one problem I am having with it is that I think it hits me at a funny spot on the leg. I was thinking of having it taken up and inch or so but then I think of the coooold winter ahead and wonder if I want to spare even an inch of wool!

 My mom was talking about how much she loves these pink pants which reminded me to wear them. They are a little big on me and they get really stretched out by this point of the day, as you can see. 

 Freshly polished by my shoe-making neighbor! Compare the before and after! Much better!

 I could not stop playing with this necklace all day!

Great Lengths

This was a cozy outfit I threw together for a last-minute couples date to Girl & the Goat! A friend gave us their reservation for 4 they made back in June so we snapped it up. Even though I was still feeling a little under the weather it was too good of a opportunity to pass up. 

This sweater kept me warm but most importantly was a great length. For a tall girl such as myself I appreciate a good long sweater that will cover up my backside enough that I can just wear leggings with it. This ASOS sweater fit the bill.
