I love random outfit combinations.

Especially when that combo is completely unexpected for one reason or another. Like my bare legs when it was below zero. Sure it’s a little much but I’m also not spending extended amounts of time outdoors so YOLO. 😉 Last weekend I was doing a much-needed closet purge when I found this skirt under a pile of denim. I immediately set it out and knew I needed to find a reason to wear it ASAP. Not only had I completely forgot about it–which I love!–but I had just recently been searching online for some similar options. Talk about perfect timing! This particular mini is real leather {and still available HERE!} but I found some great faux options if leather isn’t your thing or you’re in the market for something a bit less expensive. This Topshop mini is almost an identical match to mine, I’m loving the subtle details on this ASOS option, you can’t beat the price tag of this one from Forever 21, basically obsessed with a work appropriate option from Express, and this Macy’s skirt is super versatile. After re-discovering my mini, I started searching for my faux leather pants that haven’t seen daylight this year. Not sure why but I’m having a bit of a moment with this edgier material! <3

One of my favorite Winter outfits.

So far this has to be in the Top 3 of favorites this winter. Of course I love OTK boots, cozy cardigans and my trusty dark denim but there is just something about this leather mini paired with what I’ve been calling my ‘teddy bear sweater‘ {which is currently on sale! I’m wearing the XS & it’s still pretty oversized!} and pumps that instantly boosts my mood. And I need allllllll the positive feels this time of year because the Winter blues are a real thing for me. I feel like I’m going against the rules by baring my legs and while I was of course chilly, it was totally worth it. This look is perfect for a girl’s night or dinner date and by adding a pair of opaque tights, could definitely be worn in the office as well. No way was I going to let the fact that there was snow on the ground cramp my style. Do y’all think I’m crazy or would you wear this combo for a chilly night out?!

Big plans this weekend? I have our company Holiday Party tonight and then weather-permitting, Haley & Palmer are coming to visit tomorrow! Cross your fingers the ice holds off because I am major need of some sister time and nephew cuddles! Cheers to the freakin’ weekend, babes! xox
