Cold Day Clothing

Hey, hey, hey.

Okay so back in my first post I said this was going to be a fashion blog. Then in my third post I said this blog would encompass a great deal of things including fashion. Now, I am finally posting a nice little blurb of *dramatic music plays as I look over my shirt collar* fashion.

I'm very much a fan of expressing your personality and mood through clothing. Today has been cold, as expected, so I decided to put on a big snazzy sweater this morning in hopes of staying even slightly room temperature. Too bad all the rooms I was in today were below freezing, thank you public school budget.

The first look is the outfit I actually quite literally wore in the presence of my peers.

So if anyone looks at these awkwardly posed pictures of me and say, "Hey I want to know what that sassy outfit is comprised of" I will list out each individual piece. The brand will be in ( ) following the description.

The top is one of my favorite t-shirts because it says "No Sleep Till" and has a picture of the Brooklyn Bridge on it, love me some Beastie Boys (American Eagle Outfitters). Next is the lovely high waisted pants I've got covering my lower half. Originally I wasn't aware of the acid wash texture that the dye gave the pants but I'm absolutely all for a bit of retro in my wardrobe (H&M). My cardigan (Cotton On) is actually from that nice little haul I had when I was down in Florida this past summer! It's a rich burgundy and it's starting to get little picks in it from the amount of times I've worn it. Poor baby.

Excuse the mud I happen to live in a sopping wet mudland.

Those shoes directly above this sentence are my go to booties (Report) and I have worn them down a great deal. I happen to be a huuuuge fan of booties, with or without heels, and these ones are my only black pair so they deserve an extra bit of loving. I recommend these ones to anyone who wants a shoe that can be dressed up or down.

This look is a wee bit classier. You could wear something like this to an important dinner and also wear it to your local Walmart at an ungodly hour to buy snacks. The hat (H&M) is an incredibly soft felt material that I have been searching for since last fall. Alas she has alluded me until a few weeks ago. Layering as you all know is a must have for me. The undershirt I'm wearing is a black crop top (American Eagle Outfitters) that has a silky texture which definitely juxtaposes the more chunky and picked texture of the multicolored metallic sweater (Cotton On). I paired it back to my lovely high waisted denim pants (H&M) and a black blazer I got ages ago (H&M).

Cute...

For my final look I went for a totally casual and everyday sort of vibe.

I never ever wear jackets. Like ever. But this one is pretty unique. It's got a lightness to it while still keeping you warm. The hood and ability to cinch and uncinch the waist are definite pluses but on top of that the color is something I haven't really come across in an everyday outdoors jacket (American Eagle).

This flannel (American Eagle) is by far my favorite flannel ever ever ever in the history of flannels ever. It keeps you toasty without overheating you and I bought it oversized because why not. My shirt I bought at Pac Sun, not sure which brand because the printed on tag wore off, but it says "Catastrophe" with cats shooting lasers out of their eyes. It is everything to me. Lastly, are my shoes. Now brace yourselves because they're white. Agh! Gah! Travesty of all travesties! White in winter! Shame! Actually, I don't really follow rules like that, though I've been told I should. 

I got these fancy shmancy shoes at Pac Sun, again I don't know by what brand, but they were a whopping $9 so its obvious that I had to break my bank to shell out that kind of money.

Overall I think trying on different styles while still keeping a casual vibe is a great way to create a versatile deck of cards tucked away for different occasions, as evidenced by the distinctly casual outfits shown above.

Now, I leave with some rather nice blooper shots.

Until next time. xxxx
