Confusing Weather, Cute Outfits

Right now in Connecticut, it will rain while it's sunny, or it will snow for a minute then go back to 50 degree weather. It is driving me crazy. The weather here is so annoying and it's January!!  It's supposed to get colder (though I'm doubtful), but until then, I'm going to continue to make versatile outfits that can brace CT's random and confusing climate!!

The first outfit is kind of my go-to outfit. You can't really go wrong with a Ralph Lauren/Rugby oxford button down shirt, a cableknit crewneck/v-neck, and jeans. I will wear this outfit from end of September to about end of March (when I am craving Lilly shifts so badly that I will risk hypothermia for pink and green), and it never lets me down. When the weather is nicer, I'll wear the vest and the riding boots, but when it starts to get snowy and gross, I'll wear an actual jacket and the ever-fabulous Bean Boots. 

The second outfit is for when I'm sick of the first outfit. I really like wearing a skirt, tights, and boots because it's a good way to look nice without compromising my legs to frostbite, and also, when it's warmer, I don't die of heatstroke. I like tucking in the J. Crew camel sweater into the J. Crew wool mini skirt, sometimes belted, with some kind of statement necklace...usually from J. Crew. On the other hand, I like wearing a tank top/t-shirt with a cardigan and a scarf. It's very relaxed and can take you from hot to cold and vice versa.

Lastly, here is my compilation of versatile outerwear for wherever the weather takes you. I got the Rugby Navy Blue down vest for Christmas and I am so obsessed with it, I loveeeeee it and I highly recommend it. It is perfect!! Barbour coats are great for the transition from fall to winter, and they are light enough to not be a burden, yet thick enough to not risk your health on colder days. A dress coat is good for warm and cold days, and I love my J. Crew ruffle coat from a couple of years ago. It's great for going out and about, as well as going to nice dinners.

I hope this helps y'all!!

And finally, I am not a complete cripple anymore for I am able to walk around without crutches! I still have a little bootie to wear but it's no hassle. My stitches only hurt a little bit but otherwise the surgery went very well! It's still really nice to have a long weekend!!! What are y'all doing for the MLK weekend? Let me know!!

Have a great day!!

Preppy Winter Accessories

I thought I would post some cute hats, scarves, and gloves for the winter season! I am finally feeling the cold now that I'm in ski country (especially since it feels like spring in CT)! Here are my favorite winter items from my favorite brands:

I died when I saw that Lilly Pulitzer was making winter accessories. I got the set with the scarf, earmuffs, and gloves for Christmas and I LOVE them. The print is so cute, especially since it's pink and green! 

The past three images were from Rugby Ralph Lauren, but from the men's section. I almost prefer some of the men's items because they are always so preppy and classic. 

Lastly, here are 3 cute accessories from Kate Spade! KS never fails to disappoint with their whimsical designs. I am obsessed with their hats; I have a couple and they're so funny and cute!!

What do y'all like to wear to get away from the cold? Let me know!

Have a great day!

What to do on a Double Snowday

This picture was from last week. The snow is doubled, if not tripled, along with a sheet of ice. I hate complaining, I really do, but this is crazy. This is my 5th snow-day this year, but my first double snow-day ever. I am currently sick with a really annoying cold, so I'm happy about missing school, but there is too much snow! There's nowhere for it to go anymore since it's not melting and there's more snow every week. So, here are some things that people can do when there are snow days!

1. Watch a movie

Last Thursday we had a snow day, and I ended up watching Funny Face to pass the time!

2. Do homework

This seems like the most logical and reasonable thing to do, but it's just so boring. Unfortunately, it must be done!

3. Internet Shop

For all the shopaholics...

4. Organize your closet

A couple weeks ago, during yet another snow day, my mother and I organized our Lilly closet!

What do y'all like to do on snow days?? Let me know!!

Fall/Winter Ralph Lauren

Even though I am a true Lilly girl at heart, Ralph Lauren has been an obsession of mine since basically! forever. Here are some pretty items for fall from RL!

Slim Fit Suede Patch Shirt

Slim Millbrook Western Shirt

Ralph is definitely the go-to store for plaid shirts. They're always adorable and extremely comfortable, but be warned; they run very small.

Hand Knit Wool Cable Sweater

Regardless of the fact that I pretty much fall in love with all turtlenecks, this is SO PRETTY! It's the ideal winter white sweater! It reminds me of some kind of preppy-ski sweater.

Hand Knit Wool Zip Cardigan

This is the turtleneck sweater in black and in zip cardigan form!

Suede Patch Stretch Jodhpur

I used to horseback ride, and I definitely dabble in the equestrian look when I can! These jodhpurs are so cute!

What things do y'all like from RL? Let me know!
