Pretty Ruffles & Warm Layers|OOTD|

Hey everyone! First off- CONGRATULATIONS to Jennifer for winning my giveaway!!   Today's post is this November outfit of the day, consisting of pretty ruffles and warm layers!  I love my dresses, and since its getting a bit chilly this time of year I did the only thing I could, layered... a bunch.  But what makes the outfit  is all the ruffles incorporated in the dress and my socks peaking out from these combat boots!  To be honest, I actually planned this outfit around these ruffle socks, haha it just goes to show that you can create an outfit based out of the smallest article of clothing! 

You could say I got a bit excited about this outfit  based on these photos haha!  I am wearing this navy blue ruffle dress from Aeropostale that has a sweet heart neckline and cute tiny buttons at the top.  I think that navy is a really pretty color to wear in the fall and I am in love with all the ruffles in this dress, they are a fun and cute detail to the solid colored dress.  Since it is pretty cold in November I added a grey knit cardigan from Hollister to this outfit to keep me warm.  I really like the pairing of light grey with navy, it gives the outfit a nice mix of dark and light colors.  In my hair I added this white ribbon headband that looks really nice with all the ruffles going on! 

   

To keep my legs warm I am wearing these skin toned tights, because I didn't want them to take away from the socks and combat boots.  Now, the star garment of this outfit.... my grey ruffle socks from Aeropostale!!!  Yes they are just peaking out of my boots, but I LOVE the way they look!  The ruffles are so adorable and girly! Decorative socks like this have become a new obsession of mine and this pair is my favorite at the moment.  To match these socks I am wearing a fall fashion essential, combat boots!  This light brown / grey pair is from Steve Madden and has a distressed look to them, they tie the whole outfit together beautifully! 

I hope you enjoyed this little OOTD and got some outfit inspiration for late fall.  Before you know it it will be onto winter posts!  Items mentioned that are still available will be linked in Chloe's These are a few of my Favorite Things  Until next time!

One Sweater three Outfits, Styling the same piece different ways!

Every one has that favorite shirt or sweater of theres that they want to wear over and over again, and if you do you end up wearing the same outfit once a week.  Well, I am going to solve that dilemma by showing you how you can wear one piece over and over again, but changing the outfit completely! In this post I am going to show you three completely different ways I style a favorite sweater of mine from American Eagle, while also giving  you some tips on how you can do this with your clothes too! 

Outfit #1 

Comfy Chic

The first outfit is "Comfy Chic"- Comfortable because of the leggings and soft sweater. -Chic because of the loads of jewelry I put on to make the outfit dressed up.  For my bottoms I wore plain black leggings from Forever 21, comfortable, and looks good with about any sweater such as this one.  My shoes are bow backed black Uggs which are comfortable and look really nice because of the bows in the back.

 All the Jewelry I wore with this look is gold, giving the outfit a uniformed classic look.  My pretty gold heart earrings are from Aeropostale, and the necklace I am wearing is a northern star necklace I got as a gift. I really like this necklace's  simplicity to dazzle, small but stunning.  Then, to add on even more jewelry I am wearing some of my gold, sparkling  alex and ani bracelets.  The layered bracelet look is one that I really enjoy, it gives the outfit a chic look, and I can't ever pick just one bracelet to wear.

Outfit #2 

Casually Cute 

This second outfit is "Casually Cute".  The dark wash jeans paired with the oversized sweater create a cute and casual look that can be worn just about any where.  I chose my dark wash Hollister jeans to wear with the sweater this time. I really like how the whine color of the sweater look with the dark wash jeans.  

  To change up this look from the first one I took a different approach with the jewelry, not as much, and more brass and gold tones. I am wearing my brass colored butterfly earrings from Aeropostale, which adds to the cuteness of the outfit and the pretty color tones that are going on.  I also wore my more brass/gold looking alex and ani bracelets to again add to the pretty color scheme.  The last way I changed up this outfit is that I styled my hair in lose flowing curls while in the first outfit I had sleek straight hair.

Outfit #3 

Simply Sweet 

This last outfit is "Simply Sweet".  What I did for this outfit is I took one of my favorite neutral colored floral dresses and wore the sweater over it, very simple but creates a sweet, feminine  look that is a bit more dressed up then the other outfits.  The dress that I am wearing is from love culture.  I love the floral pattern, very pretty for spring creating and creates a feminine look.  What I also like about this outfit  is that the floral print of the dress is not over powering the outfit because of the worn sweater on top of it.

For the jewelry in this look I followed the theme of the outfit; sweet and simple.  I wore a pair of thrifted vintage heart earrings.  I absolutely adore this pair of earrings with the brass colors, the heart shape, and the roses painted in the center of the heart.  They are just perfect for the outfit!  Sweet with neutral colors, and the flowers painted the earrings even match the flowers on the dress.  For the hair, I created a loosely curled elegant low side ponytail which added to the sweetness of the look. 

Those are the three different outfits I came up with using the same sweater, all three of them having a totally different look and vibe.  I just added different accessories, styled my hair different, and wore different articles of clothing each time  to create different looks while using one of my favorite sweaters in each outfit.  Following those tips you can do the same with any peice in your closet!  Leave a comment down below telling me which outfit I created was your favorite! Also, the link to this American Eagle sweater is now up in a new section of my blog titled "Chloe's These are a few of my favorite things" on the top tabs so go check it out!  I hope you were inspired by this post and enjoyed reading it!

Snowy Winter's day OOTD

Today I am going to do an outfit of the day to be worn on a snowy winter's day!  The focal point of this outfit is the sparkling cream colored sweater from Aeropostale which reminds me of snow. I am also wearing super light wash jeans from Hollister which have a winter ice coloring to them.  Of course you wear boots in the winter and I'm wearing my favorite, baby pink Uggs. To finish off the look I put on a snowflake neckless that I got as a gift and the outfit is complete!  This outfit has a winter snow like sparkle and will keep you warm and cozy on a snowy winter's day.  The items mentioned that are still   available are listed below.
