Winter Style Challenge

We're back for another Style Me Challenge! I love seeing how everyone style's their outfits just a little differently to make them unique. If you don't know what a Style Challenge is, click here for the explanation. This is my 4th challenge and I can't wait to get started! Spring Style Challenge, Summer Style Challenge and the Fall Style Challenge. Since this is my forth challenge and I have spent a lot on clothes this year, I've decided to try and shop my closet for this challenge, maybe buying 1 or 2 pieces. So far the only thing I've bought is that fur scarf that you see me wearing down there. I'm undecided on some other things, so I'm waiting to see how other ladies style things, and I'll decided if I want to get one myself.

Since it's Christmas time, and it gets dark early out, all of my pictures are going to be in front of my Christmas tree, I hope that's okay.

 Day 1
 
We were supposed to have a cable knit sweater, but I don't currently have one, and since I'm trying to shop my closet, I decided to go with this coral/pink polka dot sweater.  I love polka dot anything, and this was so comfy. The fur scarf was such a deal too, for only $12.90! I wish they hadn't sold out. Sorry girls!

Polka Dot Sweater - Ann Taylor Loft (old), Skinny Jeans - Nordstrom, Riding Boots - Macy's, Scarf - Nordstrom (sold out)

 

Mr. making me laugh, he was telling me that I was giving him nothing to work with...haha.

Day 2

When I saw what today's outfit was supposed to be I wasn't so sure. But I put it on anyway. I was pleasantly surprised, I loved it! Super simple, and really put together. What do you think?

Tunic - Nordstroms (sold out), Leggings - Norstroms, Boots - Macy's, Vest - Old Navy (sold out)

I took off the vest and added a fancy necklace and bracelet, both from Ann Taylor Loft from 4 years ago. I might actually wear this to the Christmas Party I'm going to on Saturday.

Please excuse the awful nail polish job! Clearly I have to change it out, don't worry I took it off last night, of course after taking this picture! Oops.

Now go check out some of the other ladies doing the challenge with me. I can't believe this is the 4th time I've been doing this with them. I love all of them, and can't wait to see their outfits! Didn't Deena do a great job with the graphic?

The Importance of Accessories

Today I'm going to chose stuff around the neck. I don't typically wear bracelets, only because I work at a desk all day, and the clinking of a bracelet might drive my workmates to the loony bin. I would, however, love to wear bracelets all day, everyday. Because of my lack of wearing them at work, I don't buy them, but I should, so when the time comes I'm armed and ready.

I just got this necklace from Jane.com, it's a knockoff of the Stella and Dot one (shhh, don't tell anyone I cheated). I'm really loving it and wishing that I got it in silver as well...maybe Jane will take pity and offer them again! Else I just might have to pony up and get the Stella and Dot one.

I think this might be my new go to outfit, easy, comfortable, and if I get hot, the jacket comes off and I still look put together.

This is what this outfit would look like with no jewelry, just one simple necklace really changes the outfit doesn't it?

Jewelry can go so many different ways, simple pendant, big statement necklace, small yet simple necklace or just a scarf, I consider that jewelry, cause it's certainly not for warmth when it's 80° out. Just image these outfits without the necklaces? So plain Jane right?

 I'm going to have to say teal statement necklace, look at how many different ways I've worn it!

Crazy right? I didn't even know I was going to get so much use out of it when I bought it, but here I am at least 7 outfits later. You can't go wrong! Seriously!

What's your favorite go to piece of jewelry? Do you have something that you love as much as I do?
