J. Crew Factory Casual, Winter OOTD

Happy Friday!  It’s been awhile since our last blog post.  Honestly we’ve been feeling a bit uninspired lately.   This time of the year can be a bit hard for us fashion-wise.  Winter starts to feel long and we end up feeling like we wear the same outfits and shoes on repeat.  Hopefully we’ll get back into posting blog posts consistently very soon!

On another note- we’re at that awkward time in the year where you want to start shopping for spring, yet it’s still really cold outside(at least if you live somewhere where it truly feels like winter).  I’ve definitely been tempted to start shopping for spring clothes, but I’ve resisted since spring is nowhere near in sight for me.  You’ll find me bundled up in sweaters for at least another month.  Since I’m still wearing winter clothes and will be for awhile, today I’m sharing with you another cozy, winter outfit.

Fall Florals: OOTD

I can’t believe how fast fall is going this year!  It makes me a bit sad since it’s my favorite season and I’m not ready for winter to come at all.  This fall I’ve been loving a top that screams fall when you see it.  Since fall is going so quickly, I thought I better share it with you now before it’s too late and you’re onto winter clothes.  Fyi, this top is another item I scored from Loft.  Sorry if you’re getting sick of me talking about Loft, but they’ve just had so many cute clothes and major sales this season!

What We Wore Wednesday

Michelle’s Look

| American Eagle top | J.Crew Factory vest | J.Crew Factory skirt | Express tights | Express booties | J. Crew Factory statement necklace |

With this mild fall weather, I haven’t been able to wear my puffer vests near as much as I would like!  Luckily today was a chillier day so I could finally wear one of my favorite puffer vests!  I love this classic herringbone vest because you can wear it with so many different looks.  Today I decided to wear it with a wine colored top and a black skirt.  I love how this look turned out and the color combination of it!  This is my first skirt from J.Crew Factory and I love how it fits.  I want to get this skirt in more colors because it fits so well and is very comfortable as well.

Rachel’s Look 

| Dry Goods Top | J. Crew Vest | American Eagle Jeggings | Hunter Rain boots not pictured |

Today was cold and raining so I wasn’t able to get a good picture of me in my outfit. I still wanted to share with you my outfit so I decided to take a picture of it laid out. Even though it wasn’t the best weather I still had meetings so I wanted to look nice and put together. I went with a J. Crew vest because they are great at keeping you warm but still look good. I also wore my black Hunter rain boots since I was walking around campus and I didn’t want my other shoes to get wet. I love my Hunter boots because I feel like they still look cute with most outfits!

What We Wore Wednesday

| Ivy & Leo dress | American Eagle cardigan | Dry Goods necklace | Express booties |

The mild fall weather is continuing in the Midwest!  I’m trying to enjoy it and soak it up as much as I can because I know soon enough the long, cold winter will start.  With the mild weather, I’ve been wearing dresses to work a lot.  The thing I like about dresses is that you look really put together, yet picking out a dress is way easier than a whole outfit.  This purple dress is another new one I got this summer for fall.  It’s so comfortable, which makes me wish I would’ve gotten it in more colors.  I think this purple color is perfect for fall and the black booties gave it even more of  a fall look.  I just got this layered necklace last weekend and love it!  I thought it was the perfect necklace to go with this dress!

Ooh La Leggings

We were lucky enough to team up with Ooh La Leggings to style a couple of their leggings and share with you how great they are!  Ooh La Leggings is an online website that has a variety of leggings, from patterned ones to solid ones.  These leggings are one size fits most, so you don’t have to worry about which size to order.   Ooh La Leggings retail for $21.00, which we think is a very reasonable price!  We each chose a pair of leggings to style and review for this post.

Rachel’s Outfit

J. Crew Top | American Eagle Jeggings | Sperry Boat Shoes | Tory Burch Bracelet

As you might be able to tell from my picture I’m back at school. I’m back for a week taking a course, which is in preparation for a short study aboard trip that I’m going on next week. Of course it was raining for most of the day. I feel like Michelle and I can’t catch a break with the weather when we do our What We Wore Wednesday posts. I decided to go with this outfit since it’s cute, yet still comfortable for sitting in a classroom for four hours. I also chose this since I had to run a few errands after class to prepare for my trip and I wanted to look a little nicer for going out and about.

Rachel’s Outfit

 

Yesterday was another cold day, we just can’t seem to catch a break with the weather around here. Even though it was a little colder I didn’t want to have to wear a coat so I decided to wear my J. Crew sweater paired with my J. Crew vest. For accessories I went with one of my J. Crew statement necklaces and my Tory Burch Fitbit bracelet. I wore my Sperry flats which are one of my favorite flats! I went with my Rebecca Minkoff purse because I had to take my dad’s truck in to get fixed and wanted to take my IPad with me to work on blog stuff.

Michelle’s Outfit

First off, I can’t wait until I’m done with work for summer so I can start showing you some more fun outfits instead of my work clothes (11 more school days)!  Like Rachel said, it was chillier yesterday.  I decided to go with one of my favorite cozy sweaters from Express that has a hi-low hemline with some fun zipper details.  For pants I went with my favorite black jeggings that I love to wear to work.  For accessories I kept it simple with my gold monogram necklace and some simple gold earrings.  I completed the look with my black Target sandals since it is spring!

Rachel’s Outfit

J Crew Top | J Crew necklace | Fossil Watch | American Eagle Jeggings | Steve Madden Flats | Louis Vuitton Purse

I wanted an outfit for today that was dressy enough for going out for supper yet not too much for going to a movie. I decided on my white chambray tunic from J. Crew paired with a statement necklace and jeggings. I also added my royal blue Steve Madden flats to add some color to the look. I thought this was simple enough for the movies yet still had a little pop to make it nice enough for going out to eat.

Michelle’s Outfit

UOI Boutique Short sleeve top| Target sweater| American Eagle jeggings| Red Dress Boutique booties| Red Dress Boutique necklace| TJ Maxx crossbody purse|

Like Rachel, I also wanted an outfit that was comfortable yet dressy for going to a movie and out to eat.  It was another chilly Tuesday, so I decided to wear a lightweight sweater.  The short sleeve top I’m wearing is so comfortable that I have it in two other colors. I  really like that it’s a longer length as well.  I, of course, finished off my look with one of my favorite statement necklace and a pair of booties.
