Game Day Outfit: Is It Game Day Yet?!

It's true that I'm excited it's Friday. I'm never one to wish the weekend away. But... during this time of year, it's hard not to get excited about Saturday game day! There is absolutely nothing I love more than throwing on a great[#BADxGameDay] outfit and watching the game with my friends. Okay maybe add a little bit of beer to that mix and I'm really pumped.

If you haven't already discovered OCJ Apparel yet, I'm so excited to introduce you to them! They're one of my go-tos when it comes to cute game day options. Normally I'm rocking a pair of their awesome jeans, but they recently came out with a super cute line of tees and tanks. This baseball tee is soft and will keep me warm during the cooler months. I can't wait to wear it with shorts next year.

So what are you wearing for Game Day?! Psssst making sure you're following me on instagram to see sneak peeks of my game day outfits when I use the hashtag #BADxGameDay.

Outfit Post: Neon Yellow Jacket

I love a great blazer, dark denim and a perfect pair of shoes. This outfit has all those elements, but with a new twist on those classic pieces. A neon colored jacket, destroyed pair of skinny jeans & purple suede sandals, combine together to create a fabulous and casual yet put together ensemble!

I know this jacket is about 3 years old, but you won't believe this almost exact duplicate I discovered that comes in 3 different colors. And the price is spot on.

Don't be afraid to mix your color combos up. The black blouse and dark denim help tie in the bright colors nicely, don't you think? 

I hope that you guys are already having a great week. 4 more days and we've reached the 3 day weekend! I don't know about you, but I am really excited about some vacay downtime. Until then, let's plan on having an amazing Tuesday, okay? xoxo

Yes, I know! More hats and sweaters. The temperatures this weekend dropped to the lower 20's (ahhh!) so this outfit was just perfect for a day in the upper 40's. I can't believe that we're 2 days out from April and we've still got winter temperatures. Thankfully, I've got something that will brighten your Monday up - a giveaway! Yes, please! 

Lately, I've been obsessed with these leather wrap bracelets from D'Andrea Handbags.

And the winner gets to pick any style, any color. Oh and if you haven't checked out their handbags yet, you're missing out. I love the Mr. One Nighters!

Outfit Post: Classic With A Leopard Twist

How are we back at Monday again? The weekends are just going by too fast. Even if you do spend them in bed, eating cranberry orange muffins and watching one too many episodes on HBO Go. Oops - sorry about the crumbs Bill! Risk taking fashion is oh-so-much-fun. But let's not forget how fabulous those classic pieces can be too. The older I get, the more I appreciate a great pair of jeans or an amazing blouse. But hey, not adding a glitter boot just wouldn't be me!

I know almost all these pieces aren't available, but I linked to super similar options. After all, this is a post about classic wardrobe pieces, right? In addition to an effortless blouse or a dark pair of denim, a great handbag is always a wise investment piece. I love this one from Sole Society [that's almost 2 years old!] And it's VEGAN leather. Which is even more amazing! Shop more SS vegan leather options.

Outfit Post: Sweater for Spring

I know I should be posting about wearing green today... but I've been too crazed to plan ahead. Thankfully I'll be wearing green today so check my instagram to see!

Maybe it's just me, but a pair of mirrored aviators just make me feel sassy. I LOVE them. 

These ankle booties are seriously the greatest. Not only do they go with almost everything, but they are so comfortable. Yes they're an investment piece, but they will last and are worth every penny.

I'm back and yes, I'm wearing a sweater. So sue me. The weather here in NC is so crazy (70 degrees one day, 38 the next) So while, spring is supposedly on its way, you'll be seeing a few sweaters here and there over the next few weeks. The truth is, I'm a sweater lover, even in the early spring days. Grab a pair of shorts and a cute pair of flats and you've got a fabulous transition outfit.

I took myself on a date last month and wore this. Sometimes a girl just needs a comfy sweater and a great pair of boots for dinner and a movie. Have you taken yourself on a date lately? It's so nice to do every now and then. No phones, No husband. No friends. Just you! It's kind of liberating honestly. 

So shop my favorite sweater picks below and take yourself on a date!

Outfit Post: But First, Coffee... and Booties

These days my daily uniform has consisted of skinny jeans, oversize sweaters and ankle boots. It's the only thing that is keeping my stylish and warm during these cooler days! Luckily, I've added these gorgeous Trask lace up wedge boots to my collection. They've been a staple ever since I got them!

These shoes are so incredibly comfy that I don't want to take them off! I'm going to find every excuse to wear them over the next few months. Thankfully they go with everything from jeans to dresses to leggings and sweaters. 

Thanks to everyone who came out last week to the Fashion Documentary screening and Q&A panel session afterwards! It was SO MUCH fun and a BIG thanks to Deborah for inviting me to be a part of it! I always love speaking to groups and talking about fashion, so it was an overall amazing night. Hopefully there will be events like that to come in 2015. Stay tuned for a mini re-cap and photos. 

Happy Tuesday you guys! xoxo
