I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the West Coast is experiencing some heavy downpour at the moment. As a teacher at an outdoor school, let me just say, it was quite an experience. Whelps, good thing I snapped some pictures before the storm hit!

This winter for me has been all about the mixing of textures and patterns and experimenting with different patterns. Who knew that tweed and dark florals mesh well together?

So here’s the challenge for you…take a look in your closet and mix and match 2 items that you have never put together before. It may surprise you. 🙂

And if you’re in need this holiday season for some stocking stuffers or gifts for yourself 😉 , check out some of Kay and Kompany’s new products! These statement earrings (sold out – similar) I’m wearing are perfect for your next holiday party. However, just a caution, they are a tad bit heavy.

 Happy week before Thanksgiving! Gosh, time definitely does fly. I can already feel the pressure of the holiday rush breathing down my neck. Yikes! Well, it’s nothing that some deep breaths and pumpkin pie can’t cure! 🙂

Anywho, I’m continuing with my semi-monochrome theme again today by sticking with the different hues of gray.

Tip: If you keep all the colors in the same relative family, you can mix all the colors you want! 

Coat: Anthropologie – Similar shape // Chambray: J. Crew // Pants: Gap // Purse: Adele Satchel c/o Ora Delphine // Watch: Michele

I’ve realized that I haven’t been updating a lot about life outside of my outfits, and so here’s the scoop.

1. Still teaching math and super busy, but loving it.

2. Went zip lining for the first time.

 

3. Realized that I miss living 5 minutes from the beach.



4. I’m mentally training for the 8k that I’m running in December. (Key word: mentally)

5. Obsessed with the movie Big Hero 6.

6. Bible Verse that I’m currently meditating on: “For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” – Mark 8:35-36

Thanks for reading and have a blessed rest of your day! 🙂

Yes, it was one of those days where you come home after a 13 hour work day and realize that your shirt was on backwards. Need I say more? 🙂

Because it’s such a busy season, my outfit go-to’s are neutrals, classic cuts, and timeless accessories. My blouse from StitchFix has been such a great throw-it-on-but-still-turn-heads shirt as well as my classic pencil skirt from Talbots. And let’s not forget about the timeless Ora Delphine bag that I cannot go anywhere without! I can’t stress enough how classic pieces will save your wardrobe. No seriously.

*Tip: Spice up a neutral color palette by mixing prints!
