wearing: not so basic basics

Somehow "basic" became one of the worst things to ever be. I used to love stocking up on all kinds of basics so I could throw them together into a simple but decent outfit. Now... how dare I step foot into any sort of "basic" section in a store. 

Then I throw on this sweater/sweatshirt type of thing and realize as fancy as the zippers and different materials may be, it's still a girl wearing a sweater, scarf, and boot socks. 

I'm not mad about it.

-scarf from Charlotte Russe

-Express jeans from TJ Maxx

-boot socks/leg warmer things from TJ Maxx

-boots from Target

On Mondays, I want nothing to do with getting ready or picking out an outfit, so something like this is perfect. And ya know what... the zippers seem pretty damn fancy to me.

wearing: winter reds and blues

After talking to Danni from the Kane Show, I realized I'm going through what most people who just had a baby go through: A need for change. Or maybe it's the fact that I'm single now... or the fact that I feel like my fun purple hair doesn't match my wardrobe, but I'm in need of an all new closet. Something with edge. Something with sex. What?

All that being said, Black Friday is still a week away so I'm left with the basics. At least scarves make getting dressed easy. Take a scarf, match the outfit to the colors. That's what I did yesterday while reminding myself how pretty a bright red and light blue are together in the winter.

 I have a love/hate relationship with fall/winter weather. I'm glad I can bundle up/cover up the football season gut I've gained, but it really is not flattering for any figure. Do you ever feel like it just makes you look even bigger? Sigh. Is it summer again yet?
