I am always cold. It drives my hubby crazy, which is why I chose this slouchy v-neck sweater from Forever 21 for the days “in-between seasons”. You know those days where its cold in the A.M., hot by noon, and then it cools down again as soon as it gets dark? I thought it was going to be itchy before I tried it on, but it was actually so comfortable that I didn’t want to take it off (after the photo-shoot, I threw on black leggings and flats and created a whole new look with this sweater). I almost purchased a large just so it would be really loose, but I am glad that I went with the medium instead! When wearing sweaters like these, I like rolling the sleeves (mainly because I love showing off my tattoo and all of my Alex & Ani bracelets)! For Christmas, Ashley got me a Newport, Rhode Island Alex & Ani bracelet to represent the best BFF trip of all time (btw, if you haven’t read our blog post on our New England trip, you HAVE to)! To be honest, I debated on what to wear under the sweater. Since it is a little see-through, a solid is a must. I tend to lean towards extra-coverage so I grabbed a crop top tank for under the sweater; I am all about being comfortable.
I am wearing my favorite skinny jeans from Charlotte Russe. They are the Refuge Skin Tight Legging Dark Rinse Jeans. They are very soft and I feel like they fit well in all the right places. I like to cuff my pants; I mainly did it to show off my fabulous neon yellow stilettos that I also found at Charlotte Russe last year! Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find my exact yellow shoes anywhere, but found a gorgeous pair that is similar in color and style here. I really prefer buying my heels from Charlotte Russe because they are bold and inexpensive!
Did you happen to notice how perfectly my heels pair with my bag?! My bag is from Sydney Love’s Mosaics Collection — and I am LOVE-ing it! For starters, the mosaic print is totally me! I like bold, so this print matched my personality perfectly! Ashley even said, “Er, this bag just reminds me of you!”– and she knows me so well. When bold isn’t an option or the mosaic print doesn’t go with my OOTD, I just flip it inside out and, there ya have it, a solid navy blue tote! I usually choose a cross-body bag when adventuring or shopping, so I was pleasantly surprised when the insert of the tote actually turned out to be a cross-body you can take out and wear separately! Pssssst….just so you know, these bags are vegan faux-leather, so no animals were harmed in making us look FABULOUSSSSSSSS!
For finishing my look, I embraced the 90’s with my choker necklace (similar here) and top pony!
So it’s probably pretty obvious by now that Ashley and I have two totally different tastes when it comes to our styles… Yet, somehow we always seem to come together and agree on pretty much everything. Opposites attract, I guess– and it’s a good thing because Adventure á la Mode might be a little boring if not. 😉
Much love,
Er
