The weather has been anything but warm here…I don’t remember the last time we had highs in the 20’s, but that’s how the last couple of days have been! I for one am over it and spring can just hurry up and get here!

In spite of my wishes for spring, staying warm is still a priority and it’s been a little tough lately! I really just want to stay curled up by a fire but my life doesn’t work that way these days!

I’ll admit to doing a little bit of shopping recently because there are so many great sales going on right now, but I’m still trying to pull out items that I don’t wear often and create outfits around them!

As always, if you want to shop any of these items…I would love that, but these posts are meant to inspire you to recreate similar looks from your closet! Remember to take inspiration from anywhere…a color, a pattern, you don’t have to recreate the same look, just use these collages as inspiration!

I’m loving so many styles of denim right now from the cuffed jeans at Veronica Beard to wide leg jeans from H&M! I really like both styles paired with pointed toe booties and a white blouse. Since it’s so cold, I’m adding a sweater over the blouse and of course, a coat! I like the idea of layers and the look of layers, but the reality is, for me…I don’t find them very comfortable. Right now, I guess it’s cold or uncomfortable…anyone else ready for spring?

I forget just how pleasing grey and brown can be together! These boots with the grey pants are fabulous and the off white sweater and blouse create a classic look that’s anything but boring! I think most of us can dig up a pair of grey jeans, a cream sweater and brown boots!

Don’t put away the red in your wardrobe just because the holiday season is over! This look is made up of basics with a twist and the pop of red in the sweater might just brighten your day and actually, any color sweater would work with this outfit…even brown! I purchased the jeans pictured in a lighter wash and they are my new favorites and great to wear year round!

The boutique below is filled with the items from these collages as well as fabulous but random things that caught my eye! I hope you enjoy!

I’ve been in a bit of a funk over the past month and a half and starting to feel more like myself and a little better. I never really slowed down or took the time to just be after my mom passed away and I’ve finally had a chance to let it all sink in. I’m hoping my posting schedule will be much more regular going forward! Thanks so much for reading today!
