Look of the Day: Stripes and Pearls

 I keep thinking things are going to calm down now that the holidays are over... ha! I've been waiting for a lull in the activities so that I can work on my goal of getting ahead of my blog but since the lull doesn't look to be coming my way anytime soon, I guess I just need to get my act together so that I can fit everything in. Anyone else having this problem...no...just me??

Anyway, I am in love with this striped top. It was one of my finds from last week's sale day when I only had about 30 min to shop. I always love black and white stripes and I can rarely pass them by (I think it may be a problem). This one has a sort of faux wrap look going on which I like and is different from any others I have. It will go with a lot of stuff so I'm excited.




Also I love this necklace. The combination of chain, pearls, beads, and a flower is interesting and fun. I got it a few years ago for my birthday but I don't wear it very often because one of the strands of pearls keeps coming apart. It's an easy fix that I just keep putting off.  

Another quick question. I am heading out to Utah next week to see some of my family (yay!) and I am SUPER worried that I'm going to freeze to death. Any tips on what I should pack? Anything I must get for the trip? Tights are on my list because I don't own any and I figure I'll need them for church, but what else? I swear I used to know how to dress for the cold but I'm having major brain cramps about what I'll need. Most of the stuff I own now is very lightweight since it's so hot here in FL.

Outfit breakdown:
Shirt: A Line, purchased at the thrift store for 1.99
Jeans: Mossimo, purchased at Target for 11.49
Booties: purchased at JustFab.com for 19.99
Necklace: purchased at Beall's Outlet for 5.99

  2. That is a really great shirt- I love how the stripes on a bias.

    I've been surviving the cold with layers: a long-sleeved shirt, a cardigan/sweater and a lightweight coat. Gloves or mittens are a MUST so bring a pair even if they're lightweight.

    1. Thanks Liv! I'm sure I'll be wearing lots of layers, the trick will be to not look like a human marshmallow while doing it. :)
      Thanks for the reminder about gloves, I probably would have forgotten those with all my worry about warm enough clothes.

  3. things you can layer, ie. tank, top, sweater, scarf ; warm coat ; hat/toque ; and gloves or mitts for your hands. If your head and hands are warm, the rest of you will be too.

  6. I like the black and white shirt and the red pants are great with it! I have the same "problem" as you - have a hard time passing up a black and white anything!

  7. The necklace is definitely the best part of the outfit. I need to remember to wear my flower & necklace combinations more often. Thanks for the fashionable reminder! Happy Monday!

  9. I love the striped shirt paired with the red pants, which is a great color combo and you wear it well. There's a cold blast so pack plenty of sweaters and a few scarves!

  11. I love that top and it goes really well with the necklace (I like all the different features of that necklace by the way, a real one of a kind!) As for keeping warm in the snow, fleece lined tights are amazing, knee length boots (with tights and socks under and even leggings on top of your tights if it is really cold) Tshirts under dresses topped off with a cardigan or jumper. Layers are your friends :)

    1. Oooh! I've never heard of fleece lined tights. That may be something I have to look for in UT, I don't think they are sold where I live. Good idea!
