What Nicole Wore: All Wrapped Up
Shop the post: blanket scarf {also seen here} + navy pullover sweater {similar} + olive shirt {also seen here} + blue jeans + watch + michael kors purse {exact color sold out} + nail polish + tall boots + olive puffer vest {similar linked and another here}

This weekend was so much fun. After work on Friday, I headed to Lexington for Big Blue Madness (for the very first time!). We got in late and missed this truly iconic moment that happened after Coach Mitchell said he was retiring the BBM dances, but we got to see the ladies scrimmage (then dance) and all of the men’s basketball action.

Saturday we headed back to Lexington to shop, catch the end of the Bourbon Chase (ummm who knew this was a thing?) and check out some pre-season NBA action with the Pelicans and Kings.  Seeing the UK alum play again in Rupp is always so cool. It was super chilly on Saturday so I bundled up since I knew we’d be walking around and probably freezing on the way to the car after the game. If anything, I may have overdone the layering, but in my mind you can never be too safe.What Nicole Wore: All Wrapped Up

I knew pretty early on that I wanted to add an olive puffer vest to my collection this year and this one from Francesca’s is perfect. It’s already sold out online, but your local boutique may have a few in stock if you’re lucky. The vest also comes in navy and black.  The pocket detailing on these remind me a lot of J. Crew’s retail puffer vests.

Guys, I’m 100% in love with today’s photos. I mean, yes I almost died because wedges and large gravel rocks do not mix well (who knew?), but I think these pictures are so fun and different and maybe a little edgy? JK on the last one.

What Nicole Wore: Orange You Glad

I bought this purse last August during a major sale at Macy’s so keep those eyes peeled if you’re in the market for a new bag carried in store.

This skirt is one of my absolute favorite pieces to pattern mix with. The zig zags are fun and the orange is summer appropriate; when I pattern mix with the skirt I tend to pair it with a patterned shirt in neutral colors: navy and white, black and white, camel and white, etc.

The Elisa necklace from Kendra Scott is one of my absolute favorite pieces lately. I ended up buying my silver druzy one with Rocksbox credit and currently have my eye on the black druzy as well as this gorgeous rose gold piece. Here’s hoping they show up in a future Rocksbox since they’re on my wishlist (: You can sign up to receive beauties like this for $19 a month, but try a month free with code whatnicoleworexoxo at checkout.

I think I mentioned on here that I spent some time in Athens, Georgia last weekend. What hasn’t been mentioned is that my mascara did not make the trip home. RIP, babe.

This new one has been great, once I got over the fact that the applicator wand kind of resembles a death trap. Terrifying. The results are good as long as you don’t get yourself with the barbed wire-esque wand.

Cheers to a new week!

Weeee wooo! I’m home from Chicago (woof what a weekend) and happy to be settling in to watch some basketball tonight!

I’ll be talking all about my adventures in Chicago, including the IG meet up, on this week’s Travel Tuesday post.

necklace c/o siramara + j crew broken in boyfriend chino shorts {thrifted, sold out, similar – some colors on sale | last seen here} + kate spade new york purse {thrifted, similar | last seen here} + forever 21 blouse {old}

As I was running around Louisville to buy sunglasses for the trip and some last minute additions to a hostess gift for Michelle, I really went for comfort. It was 85 this day (kill me) so I opted for a lightweight blouse and my chino shorts.

I’m head over heels for this new necklace from Siramara. I really love the stone in the middle with the spikes.

I want to be transparent with readers when it comes to blogging so I did want to share that I recently joined an affiliate program and am using some affiliate links in blog posts. I do feel very strongly about maintaining integrity with these links so you will not see me linking “similar” items that are hundreds of dollars when I’m wearing something that’s not. When possible, I will link to the exact item — regardless of whether the retailer is available through my affiliate program or not. Similar links will continue to be within the price range that I feel is appropriate in my shopping.

If you have any questions at all about this, please feel free to email me.

You may also notice that I’ve started to link to “last seen here/last styled here” in captions. I’m a big believer in closet remixing. While I definitely love to shop, I don’t think that you have to constantly buy new items to dress well. I’m hoping having these link backs may help someone out there if they have a similar item to see various ways of styling an item.

On to more exciting things:

old navy dress {worn as blouse, old, similar | last seen here} + loft gingham shorts {thrifted, similar, similar | last seen here} + banana republic inspired necklace via eBay {old | last seen here}

On my first day home from vacation the most exciting thing I did was go to Kroger to pick up fruit to make a smoothie. It felt so good to be lazy though. Reuniting with my bed has been spiritual, to say the least.
