Sweaters to Wear With Leggings

If there’s one outfit I wear more so than anything this time of year, it’s sweaters and leggings. Big shocker, I know! But when it works why change it? Since I know a lot of y’all like to wear the same type of style, I wanted to round up some of my favorite sweaters/tops to wear with leggings. Because there’s an art to it! You obviously want something to cover…

If You’re in a Funk for the Holiday, Try These 4 Things

Can I be honest about something? I kinda hate how everyone hypes this up as the most wonderful time of the year. Heck, I’ve probably even done it on this blog! And the thing is – it is a great time of year – but it doesn’t mean every day feels like it. I’ve had my fair share of funks during the holidays, and I think it’s one of the hardest times to go through one. It’s like we’re not supposed to feel anything but cheery and totally awesome from November-December. But that’s not realistic. People have funks all the time, no matter the month, and a lot of the time it’s out of our control.

13 Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas

WOAH. Thanksgiving is next week! I knew it was coming up but next week? Just woah.

BUT, I realized I was going to basically recreate an outfit I’ve already shot (leather leggings, leopard shoes and a sweater), so in the effort of making…
