Fancy Pants

So here it is,  my first post in over a month! It feels good to be back, I must say I have really missed it. But like I said, a break is good sometimes, and it was definitely what I needed for a little while. Without getting too sappy or boring you to death with the details, I went through a breakup recently and taking a step back from my blog was something I needed to do to really heal. It's always good to have some "me" time, and girl time, too, or course! But I am back now, and excited to share these insane pants with you guys. I love the wild ikat print paired with the bright pink sweater. It is a loud statement outfit, and I had so much fun wearing it. This sweater is my new obsession going into the Fall months, the color, fit, and warmth are perfect.

{Winter Layering}

Layering has become something of an obsession for me recently. I never fully understood just how essential the entire concept was until I started reading fashion blogs and seeing how much it can add to any outfit. A plain, seemingly boring and simple black dress or white sweater can take on a whole new identity when you add layers. I love that there are so many different things you can do with layering. So even if you feel like you have nothing to wear (every girls irrational problem, right?) you can always count on good layering to switch things up and make older items feel new and exciting.

{1 Sweater, 3 ways}

Something that happens to me all too often when shopping is finding something I literally cannot live without. So, of course, I buy it. Obviously, what other option is there really?! Then I get home and I don't have a clue what to wear it with. This happened the other day when I found a gorgeous pink sweater at a vintage store. I had to have it, then got home and realized I own zero pink. Literally, zero. Weird, right? I mean, I am a girl, this is not really normal. Anyways, I was stumped on what to pair it with because I don't really wear pink, and we are talking very bright, blinding, magenta pink people. First time for everything, though. So here are some ideas I came up with for some inspiration. Note: these outfits work with almost any color sweater. So without further adieu... 

I love the rolled up True Religion jeans with the bright pink and these Zara booties are to die for. Pairing it with some arm candy, a bold, bulky necklace and this Old Navy vest makes it perfect for chilly fall weather.

This look would be perfect for a day at work followed by happy hour. Black tights are my new best friend. I used to kind of hate the feel of tights...like, I felt like my mom. But these days I guess I am channelling my inner-mom because I love them. To brighten the look, I would use some kind of belt over the sweater, around the waist. This black with gold embelishments is my pick, but another bold color would also work! I couldn't resist the fur (I am just so addicted) and the ballet flats!

This look is definitely my favorite. I would wear this everyday if I could. Seriously, though, I would. Leggings, boots and a comfy weater..who can possibly resist? Boots are my addiction, what can I say. Give me a scarf, some gold jewlery, some sunglasses and I'm set. All I need is a coffee..

I hope you got some inspiration from these, let me know if you have suggestions for my next 1 piece, 3 ways look! tweet me!
