Fashion Friday

Now that I am living in Texas excessive weather change from one day to another is something I need to get used to. The truth is that coming from southern California I rarely experienced anything other than 75-80 degrees and sunny with occasional rain during our "winter". Yesterday was the first time since I moved here that the weather went from hot and humid day to cold windy thunderstorms within a couple of hours. Totally weird for a city SoCal girl,I actually sat in front of the window and just watched nature unfold. It was quite beautiful (and scary) from the comfort of my living room of course. 

With all that being said I realized my closet is lacking in the REAL winter clothing. Something I love about living in California is that the weather doesn't usually affect your outfit choice. When in SoCal you chose your outfit and maybe grabbed a light sweater or cardigan in case it got cold. I always thought that I would not be able to survive anywhere else because it would be tragic to have to dress in the same frumpy winter jacket for a whole season. Your looks aren't the most important and I am aware of that but I am the type of girl who likes to dress up or dress cute once in a while. 

So, now that I am here I have been faced with a challenge. How do I start my weekend without tossing my style out the window? After looking over my closet i saw plaid flannel that I always thought was good for cold weather but one I hardly ever wore. Then I found couple of pieces that when layered actually look super cute (by no means am I saying I won't be wearing a peacoat with the outfit).  Here are home looks I found online.

Same idea, some dressed down, some dressed up but all so cute!  (links to images on my pinterest-Fashion folder)

After seeing all the looks a scoured my closet for pieces that I could wear with my flannel, and this is what I came up with. 

-Thick cotton leggings

-Long white under shirt

-Long sleeve denim button up

-Boots 

 -I would have worn long socks so the color sticks out a little over my boot much like leg warmers but I  didn't have any :( You might though :)

-I never skimp on accessories, in this case a bold vintage chain link necklace/bracelet and watch. 

-The headband I made myself out of the sleeves of a shirt I cut into a crop top.  

That's it for friday fashion, good luck on your looks! Stay warm!
