When we had snow here in Oklahoma a few weeks back, I definitely kept reaching for the one faux fur item of clothing I own - just seemed appropriate! On this particular day I borrowed one of my husband's scarves - just another way to be resourceful ;). The burgundy color in the scarf inspired me to  choose a similar lip color, which definitely pulled this overall look together. Black, suede/tan, gray, and any burgundy variation are a great color scheme to experiment with during the winter months!

The snow was nice while it lasted, but I'm already dreaming of warmer temperatures. Fortunately that's bound to happen sooner or later living in the ever fluctuating temperatures of Oklahoma!

Thanks for stopping by! Oh, and I love the photos my husband captured below - it was fun shooting with snow actually falling!

A comfy & cozy, slightly oversized, "winter white" sweater is always a fall/winter favorite of mine. I'd worn out all my other cream/white sweaters from previous years, so naturally I turned to Target and, not surprisingly, found the perfect replacement. I want to wear this sweater everyday! And thankfully, there are tons of outfit options with a sweater like this. By swapping out different scarves, skinnies and boots, and I really could get away with wearing this sweater everyday! ;)

"Business Casual" is timeless. Tailored, classic pieces are universally flattering, and personal style can still be incorporated through color, prints/patterns, accessories, hair/make-up, etc. Even though my occupation doesn't require the "business casual" look for the office, I still enjoy creating outfits in this vein. I've noticed that I legitimately feel more focused and alert when I dress up vs. dress down for the office. A black blazer, bootcut jeans, neutral bag, and some neutral or printed ankle boots are some great starters pieces for a business casual wardrobe. 

Happy Friday, everyone! Have a blessed weekend!
