Fall/Winter Fashion: Sweater + Skirt = Perfect Fall Outfit!

So the reason why this is fall/winter is because this outfit can, well, be worn in both the fall and winter. So something I have seen a lot on websites and just around is the skirt+cute sweater combination.
Outfit 1:
-Cropped sweater
-Mixing Patterns
-Love the less-loose sweater with flowy skirt


Cropped Sweater, nordstrom.com, $38

Floral Skirt, urbanoutfitters.com, $59

Ourfit 2:
- "Sharkbite" sweater
- Pencil skirt
- Socks/legwarmers with boots
-The more baggy sweater with pencil skirt is the perfect combo.

Frenchi® Slouchy Scoop Asymmetric Hem Sweater , nordstrom.com, $44

Textured Knit Skirt, forever21.com, $10
Note, that if you wanted to wear this pencil skirt and sweater with boats, I would skip on the socks/legwarmers, since there's already so much going on with the textured skirt and asymmetric sweater. Rather than this skirt, go with just a plain pencil skirt.

Leg Warmers (especially cream cable knit ones) look so cute with a pair or dark brown boots, but as I said before, make sure you don't go too heavy on the patterns in the overall look.

 AE Wedge Boat, ae.com, $80
A nice pair of dark brown/chesnut colored boats are always classy.

I hope this was helpful, and please comment and follow!

My Nail Polish Obsession: A Tag

There was a post earier this month on elleandblair.com with a nail tag and has also been going around youtube. Let's be serious here, who would want to do this?
Here are the questions:
  1. What’s your favorite nail polish company?
  2. Glitter or no glitter?
  3. OPI or china glaze or Essie?
  4. When do you start to take off your nail polish?
  5. What’s your favorite color on your nails?
  6. Darks or brights? 
  7. What are you wearing on your nails right this moment?
  8. Matte nails—in or out?
  9. French manicures?
  10. Favorite fall color?
These are my answers:
  1. Either OPI or Essie
  2. No glitter, but glitter on the ring finger sometimes
  3. Ok, so this is a hard one. I prefer the OPI formula, but I like the Essie colors more. So it's a tie!
  4. Either after it starts chipping or 3-4 days
  5. Any purples
  6. Darks, but I prefer paler colors
  7. OPI's "Steady As She Rose"
  8. Out. I was never a fan 
  9. Sure, but I would only personally wear it on special occasions
  10. Taupe-y pinks and purples and darker colors
I hope you enjoyed this!
