It has been pretty chilly these last few days, but that shouldn't keep you from wearing one of your favorite casual dresses... all you have to do is layer the right way. I love the way a turtleneck looks underneath a sleeveless dress. I definitely wore that when I was 6 years old but it still somehow looks good, at least in my opinion. A few days ago, I mixed all sorts of patterns together to create this layered look. This black messenger clutch bag from HandPicked is my new favorite bag to bring on-the-go. It might look small on the outside but it opens up to three HUGE pouches to put all my stuff in. I took it to an engagement party last weekend and it was perfect for the occasion. Personalize it with your friend's initials and voila! It is definitely a great little Christmas gift that will get a lot of use. Another wonderful gift idea is a scarf... I am loving thisleopard infinity scarfand at $21.00, you can't go wrong. Head over to HandPicked to check out their amazingly affordable and adorable selection!
One of my favorite things to wear in the fall and winter is a poncho... When I think of the word poncho, I think of walking around in the rain at Busch Gardens with a big plastic sheet over my body. But these days, ponchos have risen to stardom in the fashion world. You can find endless options of timeless ponchos in all patterns and materials at stores all over. TJ Maxx has a ton of cute ones but I found a pretty cheap option (and great quality!) at H&M the other day for less than $30. A favorite way to wear a poncho of mine is layering over a light long-sleeve turtleneck. It just looks and feels so cozy!
