Spot On, Nailed It

You know when you overdo it during leg day but you don’t know until later? My current situation. Not even going to try and lie, I thought I was killing my leg day (mistake number one) and then I got home and sat down (mistake number two) before I got in the shower and I’m pretty sure I sat there for at least thirty minutes really trying to decide if I was going to be able to get out of my UnderArmour leggings. Post-hot shower, I’m doing a bit better but already dreading how I’m going to feel the next couple days.

Before any of this honestly a bit traumatizing experience happened, I was just minding my own business, doing my thing and wearing this outfit. This brown cardigan with magenta outline is one of my favorite ThredUp finds, the sweater has metallic threading in it which makes it different. Magenta is such a bright and fun color to me, so I opted to wear the cardigan over my magenta dress to really pull out more of the boldness of the color. It’s been (suddenly) so cold here and I’m just trying to stay away from the blah drab colors that really add to the blah drab-ness of the weather.

I wanted to keep my jewelry pretty minimal since I was wearing a scarf to add a little warmth and some pattern with the polka dots. I pulled out my rose gold spiked bracelet and took my new Nail Wrap Ring from The Peach Box for a spin too. This ring immediately jumped out at me while I was browsing their site; how cute is the nail detailing?! I thought it was a really unique, statement piece but still (size wise) isn’t over the top. Some other pieces from TPB that I’m currently crushing on are: the Aztec Trilogy Ring, the Crystal Bezel Necklace and these fun pearl and gold ear jackets.

I’ve been playing around with more dramatic makeup for blog pictures lately, but went really simple and used a few matte shades from this Lorac eyeshadow palette and fell back in love with it. While I typically don’t wear eyeshadow every day, I’ve found this look is very easy to apply and doesn’t fall into the, “is it okay to wear a super glittery smokey eye to work” category.

I don’t think I ever realized that I “needed” a good polka dot scarf until I was gifted this one at work last year, but I’ve gotten a ton of wear out of it. I admittedly have way too many scarves, including some that I never wear, but this one goes with most of my closet due to the black and white palette and I love that the polka dots can add some personality to an outfit composed of basics.

Hope you have a great and relaxing weekend! I’m looking forward to trying a few new recipes to snack on during football + (hopefully) a couple trips to the gym.
