Fringe Cardigan Cool

I was obsessed with this loop fringe cardigan (on sale!!) from the moment I saw it. But I waited it out... a long while! Finally, when Black Friday rolled around and I saw it at 50% off there was no turning back. I love the relaxed, easy fit and that it feels perfectly tailored to my body. It sits at the hip so it's not too short and on warmer days I can totally get away with wearing it as a light jacket. Do you have any pieces that make you feel instantly cool? I feel like this cardi does that! There is something about it that is kinda crisp, yet sophisticated and paired with a black leather ankle bootie I am ready to rock. Cardigans usually get a bad rep. They can feel stuffy, too boring and unexciting. But if this one shows you anything it's that they can be chic, fun and wicked cool. 

So, how to look chic while wearing a cardigan? Here's what I do: 

A Dress for Every Occassion

One thing I love about the holidays is all the fun and festive affairs. But with all the holiday parties come all the holiday party outfits, and that can either be super exciting or super stressful. I like to make it fun and wear things I wouldn't normally wear. I'm talking faux fur stoles, sequins, and lots of lace! Actually... I do wear all these things on the regular, but together makes it all the more festive! I can't wait to wear this dress I bought for Paris this season. I love the lace overlay and the embroidered flowers. If it gets cold I plan to throw on a tight black turtleneck underneath or throw on a pair of tights. One and done! In case you need some holiday party dress inspiration I've rounded up a few favourites, something for every occasion! A knit turtleneck dress for the office luncheon, a cocktail number for a night out celebrating, and some fun jumpsuits. Who doesn't love jumpsuits! What are you planning on wearing to your events? Any ideas yet?

Accessorizing with Jewel Tones

I've never been one to dabble in the jewel tones. You guys know me... I'm all about the pastels. But, I love the look of jewel tones! There's the emerald green, the amethyst, ruby, topaz-- they are so beautiful! So royal and deep.  I was gifted these earrings by a loved one for a very special reason and ever since then, I've been drawn to the colours more and more.  You're probably thinking "where!". But if you look closely you'll see I'm starting off slow! At least it's a start.  I love that in adding a topaz coloured scarf, a pair of emerald earrings, and a ruby bangle I instantly adding drama to an otherwise simple, go-to, outfit. Breaking into new colours seems like it's becoming a bit of a trend for me! If there are any colours you are hesitant about trying out you need to read this post. It's all about colour combining and embracing the unconventional. 

What's your take on jewel tones? Do you dig 'em? (pun intended)
