Put a hat on it!

Sweater: Marshall’s (Love this); Skirt: Old Navy (old); Booties: Steve Madden (I want these); Bag: Philip Lim for Target; Hat: Target 

This particular outfit evolved from the time I put it on, went to church, came home and had just enough light left outside to shoot a few quick shots.  It was chillier than when I had initially left the house earlier in the afternoon so I threw on the faux fur vest I got at the end of last year (another clearance score from Vera Wang for Kohls)!  Then I saw the new hat I grabbed on one of my multiple Target trips as of late- are you surprised!? Haha!! Anyways, though the fur and the hat were a little too much for church, they added just the right touches to a comfortable but trendy look.  This sweater is an almost identical replica of the one at H&M that I’ve been eyeing for a few months and is a fraction of the price.   I have issues with buying too much black.  It never feels interesting enough for me but then I put it on and it just makes you look great.  So I broke my own rule this last week and not only bought the fringed sweater, but also a great mid thigh down coat (NYC trip in mind) and some KILLER above the knee boots from Top Shop that I should have any day- and they are all in black!  Hopefully I won’t get too bored with all the lack of color because I’m going to have to attempt to reign in my little splurges until after my Christmas shopping is done. 

Wish me luck…

Just for Kicks!

Sweater: Target; Poncho: Old Navy (old, love this); Leggings: Forever 21 (old, I want these); Beanie: Target; Shoes: Target; Purse: Target

 

As of late you can find me layered and comfortable in my all too worn in Uggs and leggings.  I have been a little hesitant to try the wedge sneaker trend…I love the idea of them but always wonder if I am cool enough to sport them.  So, once again a productive outing to Target last week resulted in finding these fun burgundy suede ones on clearance! You all know how I am when it comes to Target clearance….its hard for me to walk away.  So, after some serious deliberation (i.e. texting my fellow buddy Candida from Merch Maven), they were purchased post haste.  The floral sweater was from another Tar-jay trip and has been on heavy rotation lately as an easy go to layer.  Chances are I’m going to find something worth taking home from that store, they’ve had such great stuff lately!

I am on the hunt for a few things for my up coming trip back east next month.  Since we won’t have much time to make outfit changes I’m thinking fleece lined leggings (I really want to find a faux leather version), that can be layered with dresses like this one, and sweaters and boots.  My beautiful bestie and her family are going to New York the week before me and we were able to meet up last week with our munchkins and to hunt for leather gloves.  I love shopping with her and don’t get to see her much anymore so it was fun to look for things for our trips together. 

What are you all planning to wear as the weather starts to turn colder?  Have you braved the wedge kicks trend?? ;p  I hope you all have a great start to your week, thanks so much for stopping by.  Follow me on Instagram @Clichemoi and Bloglovin.

Hey everybody!!  So I have had a serious case of not wanting to do ANYTHING lately, have you noticed?? Sorry its been a little bit on posting.  I think we all get in those funks where we are unmotivated, and in my case- uninspired, I literally have been living in work out clothes for the last two weeks and so I thought I would spare you all. ;)  Luckily yesterday I had to get out of my slump though because church requires a little more effort than my yoga pants and a beanie!  This is one of my favorite dresses, with the exception of warmer summer temps, it is a great year round piece.  I got it last year off the clearance at Old Navy.  Yesterday I was a little chilly and decided it was time to bust out the faux leopard jacket which I also got at the end of last year and has since been sitting in my closet with the tags still on it.  I felt like a bit of a mess but got lots of compliments…which I’m sure were all genuine but I also have really sweet friends LOL!!

On a more positive note, I booked tickets last week to go to NYC!!! EEEK!!! I’ve never been there before.  A last minute opportunity came up and it took me a few days to secure a last minute traveling buddy… but my sweet sister caved and will be going with me for 4 days next month to see the Big Apple at its holiday best.  I already have a list of things I want to do while we are there but I am looking for suggestions.  What should I not miss out on?  Hopefully we can take some good style pics to post here but be sure to follow me on Instagram @Clichemoi to see our day to day shenanigans!  I CAN’T WAIT!!!

I hope you all have a fantastic Monday!

p.s. Don’t mind my slip hanging out the bottom of my dress! Sigh.
