Sweater Leggings and Sparkles

The worst part of Christmas is always trying to find places to put my new presents! My drawers are packed to the max with all of my new clothes including this new hunter green sweater from Old Navy (thanks mom!) With the weather warming up a tiny bit I thought I'd shed some layers today and stick to my new sweater and my new sweater leggings!

The "Twelve Days Of Christmas" sales that stores were sporting this year was kind to me! I scored these sweater leggings from BB Styled and only paid shipping. I'm always a little unsure on buying leggings online, you never know how they'll fit or if they'll be see-through or too short but so far I can't complain about these leggings! These are meant to be hand washed and I hate hand washing so I'll admit I threw these in the machine and they turned out fine!

Oh, Cold Weather..

Oh cold weather, we meet again!

So I found this hat in my mother's room the other day and was like "uhh mom where in the world did this come from?? I need to blog it!" Turns out she purchased this hat at a little craft show so I found it appropriate to wear it with my renovated sweater!

This sweater was a pull over from Old Navy that I just did not like on so I cut it and made it into a cardigan and added some elbow patches! (Sparkly, of course!) I also made up this little scarf not too long ago on a rainy day crafting spree.

Anyone interested in a tutorial on spicing up some of your old sweater favorites? (Such as I did with this sweater)

Winter is Approaching

 Chillier days are now upon the midwest! Yesterday there was actual accumulation of snow, I like snow but I believe it should only be around during the month of December (and I feel that's a generous offer!). Outfits for my classes are always challenging; I like to wear something warm so I stay warm walking into class and getting settled in class but you can never predict the temperature of the classroom! So I like wearing things I can manipulate and take off or put on such as sweaters and scarves. This is a little outfit very do-able for an every day school outfit: an adorable paisley scarf (etsy), booties that I need (pinterest), pink cardigan (forever 21), and jeans (not pictured but my favorite are linked from AE)
