Blogmas 2014 Day 8: Winter Layers for a Christmas Shopping

Ah not sure how all these other bloggers do it, I can hardly keep up these posts! Skipped the weekend posts as I was busy doing my Christmas shopping. So sharing today, my OOTD for a crazy spree at Bloomingdale's.

American Eagle Cardigan (old), Old Navy Crew Top (old), AG Adriano Goldschmied The Prima Skinny Jeans, Arturo Chiang Fedra Ankle Boots (old)

For a long day of shopping amongst crowds, I always opt for comfy wear. Something I can maneuver around in without the bulk. It's a steady 30 degree weather here in NYC now, so for some added warmth, I had on a big wrap around scarf to keep me cozy (not pictured.) Winter time is also when I stock up on long sleeve tees that's perfect for layering up like the way I paired it with a 3/4 quarter sleeve cardigan.

AG The Prima Skinny Jeans in Wilde

These AG jeans are so heavenly soft! So soft that they almost feel like jeggings. Super stretchy and the mid rise is perfect to cover up any unexpected gut expansion. Sometimes skinny jeans can be a pain to put your legs through, but I have no difficulty with these at all, they just slip right in.  The leg openings also tuck perfectly into my ankle boots.  I got it in a size 26 (my usual size) and it fits like a glove.  The Wilde wash is the perfect dark blue denim. $75 for a pair of jeans is quite pricey but I don't regret a single penny.

During this shopping spree, I also picked up a pair of J Brand jeans for $25! Bloomingdales hold a dear place in my heart now, can't wait to style that!

Have you finished your holiday shopping yet?

Fall Fashion Work Outfits

Well it's been a while since I've uploaded OOTD's, here's a few that I've been putting together for my Fall Work Fashion.

Playing with Scarves 
Fall is the perfect time to be playing around with scarves. It's one of the main staples in my wardrobe. I think it's the best accessory to dress up any outfit.

• Classic V-neck Gray Sweater
• Banana Republic Wide Leg Pants
• H&M Floral Scarf
• Naturalizer Navy Blue Pumps

Cardigans and Skinny Belts
The weather might be getting cooler but it's not the time for jackets and coats but you can warm up with cardigans. Pair it with skinny belts to dress it up or wear it alone for a more casual look.

White A-line Dress

• Victoria's Secret Ruched Cardigan
• White Beaded Chiffon Dress
• Steve Madden Kortship Flats in Natural
• H&M Wide Hook Belt

Work Chic and Wide Leg Trousers
Work chic outfits, no problem just wearing a slim fitting t-shirt. I think skinny pants will still be great for the fall season, but its alter ego, the wide leg pants, offer a warmer alternative.
