How I Style It: Blanket Scarves + Booties

Happy November First!  It’s the first Wednesday of the month which means I’m teaming up with Becky, Della, and Tiffany to each share how we styled a specific trend.  This month we’re all showing looks with scarves and booties.

Fair warning, this post is a bit on the short and sweet side as I’m unfortunately a bit under the weather; hoping to be back on track soon!

Red, White and Striped All Over: 11.11.15

What Nicole Wore: Red, White and Striped All OverHi, you’ll be able to find me in this blanket scarf non-stop from here on out. The colors in this are SO stunning and I love the simplicity of the red, white, and blue.  The colors aren’t exactly winter #sopatriotic, but these are the colors I constantly wear and I immediately bought this scarf when I saw it online a couple weeks ago. I did end up halving this scarf so that I wouldn’t be as overwhelmed, as I mentioned in last week’s post.

I tied in the primary colors by pairing this scarf with a red and white striped 3/4 sleeve boatneck top.  The weather in Louisville has been so touch and go lately; 70 degrees one day, 40 the next so wearing pieces that are easy to add and remove has been important. I pulled on my utility vest to add some texture and another layer.

My olive utility vest is a kids size, but here is a similar style in ladies sizes!  Olive is one of the it colors for fall and this military inspired vest can be styled so many different ways. I love that this ring looks like I’m wearing multiple rings and is adjustable.

What Nicole Wore: Blanket Scarves + Gingham

I can wear colored denim to work during the week and it’s felt like I’ve been living in my black and white jeans ever since it started cooling off in Louisville. I decided to get adventurous and add a couple colors to my collection recently and I’m really loving this olive pair. I’ve talked about these jeans before but they’re the only pair I’ve found recently that fit me in the waist, hips and thighs without alterations which means they’re a major winner in my book.

This weekend flew by SO fast which made the fact that I’ve been ahead of schedule with my blog shooting so much more appreciated because (yikes) I didn’t do any shoots for the blog this weekend. Luckily, I have a couple days off this week so I can work that in.
What Nicole Wore: Plaid About It

I did manage to sneak in some shopping this weekend and bought some new riding boots during Nordstrom Rack’s Clear the Rack promo! I never think to look at their website for stores, but their reminder email yesterday was about shoes and I opened it thinking there wouldn’t be anything good in my size. Lo and behold, boots a plenty! I stopped myself from buying a super cute pair of Sam Edelman flats, but did end up buying four pairs of boots in different colors and sizes — with the FULL intention of only keeping one or two pairs. One of the things I love about ordering for Nordstrom Rack is free shipping for $100+ and the fact that you can return at any Nordstrom Rack. It makes it a lot easier to buy something like shoes or a purse knowing that you can just take it back if it’s not what you’re looking for.

I also got some time to try out this S’mores Bar recipe that I’d been wanting to make for awhile now. It was so easy and equally delicious. 

Also while we’re talking about what I did this weekend: Have you stocked up on blanket scarves? We had some freaky winter like weather here in the Ville and I was glad I had mine to wrap around my ears, neck and hands. For the next couple days, there’s a promo running on these scarves: they’re normally $28.99, but are only $14.99 right now! I grabbed the black and white one and the mint and brown one — not sure if I’m gifting or keeping them yet.
