Pretty, Please

Has anyone else noticed the ridiculous abundance of amazing sales this season? It's not even Black Friday yet! Yeesh! To get myself through the gloomy cold weather months, I'm reaching for pops of red, rich emerald hues, a touch of sparkle and cozy (sometimes goofy) sweaters.

Here are a few of my recent finds:

Although I'd also been eyeing this lovely skirt, I couldn't resist the cheaper price tag and champagne hue of this Zara skirt. I see myself wearing it with a silky ivory blouse, chambray button down or a white v-neck sweater.




October may be behind us, but I'm still loving the abundance of rust and orange. This lace dress may seem like an odd pick because of its summery texture, but pair it with tights and a swing coat and it definitely works for the mild Bay Area winter.
Snagged on sale plus a coupon over at ASOS.
I can't get enough of this cozy mint cashmere sweater from Etsy. A true steal at $34!
I couldn't resist this whimsical bicycle cardigan from F21. I couldn't decide if it belonged at an ugly sweater party or on me, but settled on the latter. Super cute with skinny jeans and a cream beanie.


Finding boots that are narrow enough for my chicken legs is a constant struggle. Even though I originally was looking for a sleek pair of riding boots, the search was beyond futile, not to mention frustrating. These lovely cognac boots from Aldo match my favorite satchel and will go with everything. They were also more than 50% off.

I'm not sure if my next winter finds are a sign of my status as a full grown adult, or that I need a better heater, but I'm so ready to toss all my ratty old t-shirts/sweats in favor of actual matching pj sets. Here are two pairs that I couldn't resist.
