Thifty Thursday: Fleece-lined Leggings

I was so excited when Ashley from Ocean Avenue Boutique (http://oceanavenueboutique.com/) asked me to review a pair of fleece-lined leggings for her on my blog! I love trying new products and I also love helping out small businesses. Even though I'm posting this on Thrifty Thursday, this could definitely go on Friday Faves!

First off, let me tell you how fabulous Ashley is and her customer service. She is so sweet and is so customer-minded. She knows fashion and the clothes on her site are amazing (see below for my favorite things).

I was so excited to get the package in the mail from her and try on my fleece-lined leggings. Y'all these leggings are only $10 (what a steal!) and are insanely comfy and I will wear them all.winter.long. I could live in these leggings...they are perfect for a mom running errands (or chasing your two year old) or going out. I wanted to show you how versatile they are (PS I hate selfies, but I love these leggings so I sacrificed for y'all).

So I paired them first with my comfy Lilly Pulitzer Cassie dress (I love these dress so much too) and flats. I think the leggings are perfect with a dress that you usually couldn't wear in the cooler temperatures. I wore this outfit to run errands and it kept me nice and toasty.

 Aren't they just the cutest?!

Then I paired them with a long comfy sweater from Kohls that I wore to dinner. You couldn't definitely dress them up more, but I was just going to a casual dinner. And of course I paired them with my black booties. They make your legs look insanely long!

This is totally my favorite pairing. I paired them with and Target dress (old) that is a sweater material and wedges.

How flipping adorable do these look together?

They really are amazing, comfy and super well made. And the best part is that they are a super deal! In fact, everything on Ocean Avenue Boutique's site is a great deal! So what are my favorites that I'd love to have in my closet?!

 

 

Okay, I pretty much love everything!

Thrifty Thursday: Cardigans

Y'all, I love cardigans...mainly because I love wearing dresses and winter is not going to stop me. So when I heard that Target had their cardigans 40% off, I just had to check it out. So I scooped up these:

 I can't wait to wear this one with a skirt and tights!

 I'll be wearing this with the dress I bought for Christmas card pictures!

I feel like I'm always needing a black cardigan to throw on. This one is great because those little studs aren't silver or gold so you can wear it with all kinds of things. You can dress it up for the office or wear it with jeans!

These are all marked down to $14.99 and will keep me nice and warm through the winter! I love how Target is taking a J.Crew approach to cardigans for so much cheaper (don't get me wrong, I own several J.Crew cardigans that I love).

Friday Faves: Fall faves

I don't know that I would consider myself uber trendy, but I do like to dress semi-stylish and try to keep up with some of the trends. Some of my favorite pieces for this fall/winter are staples that you can mix and match with anything.

Y'all, I can't explain how much I love J.Crew's colored cords (found here: http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navigation/Sale/AllProducts/PRDOVR~03904/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20+225~~~17~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~cord/03904.jsp?isSaleItem=false&isFromSearch=true). I swear, I would buy them in every color. They are so comfy and you can mix and match them with anything. I probably have 10 pairs (all different colors) and I'd seriously wear them everyday. You can dress them up (I've totally worn the black and cream colored pairs to work) or down (I literally wear them to run errands, to go to dinner, etc. etc. etc.). These pink ones are my fav, because let's be serious...I love anything pink :)

I never thought I could pull off jean leggings, but when I found them on super sale at Gap, (and saw one of my cute friends wear them while she was in town) I thought...I could wear those. So I have a pair (or two) and love them. They aren't for everyone, but I love that you can wear them with literally any shoe. You can find them here: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=249256002.

Living in the South doesn't leave a lot of options for outerwear, (it rarely gets below 20 degrees) but an awesome puffer vest is so fun and practical. This Gap dot vest goes with a simple t-shirt or button up and keeps you nice and warm. You can find this awesome vest here: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=751826002.

I love a comfy plaid shirt that I can throw on to run errands (or cozy up with my little boy). This Old Navy plaid shirt is so comfortable and warm. Similar top found here: http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=72302&vid=1&pid=647113152.

I am a shoe girl. I've literally told people that when I die, you better bury me in high heels. When I was pregnant with E, I wore heels literally until the day he was born. I will be 100 years old and wearing heels. These shoes may look high, but they are my most comfortable booties. I'll tell you a secret, Target shoes are a great deal, are always fashionable and are insanely comfortable. AND these match everything.On clearance here: http://www.target.com/p/women-s-merona-molly-shootie-taupe/-/A-14467644#prodSlot=medium_1_12&term=bootie.

Last but certainly not least, these AMAZING leopard booties are MINE (all MINE) and I've worn them 100 times already this season. Grab them here: http://www.target.com/p/women-s-sam-libby-selena-ankle-boot-with-scrunch-back-leopard/-/A-14540210#prodSlot=medium_1_32&term=bootie.

Hope you enjoy my faves!
