I felt very Blair Waldorf in this skirt. Oh, and if you’re wondering… yes, my daughter is named after Blair Waldolf. But anyway, this black mini skirt with ruffles is one of my favorite additions to my closet as of late. I really think it would look even better with bare legs, but as you can see, there was snow on the ground. Read on to see how I styled a mini skirt for the cold weather… and for my musings on law school “fashion.”
This criss-cross back sweater is perfect for date night! We recently had Restaurant Week here in Kansas City, so my husband and I got a sitter and tried out a new dinner spot. I thought this sweater and jeans look was the perfect mix of sporty and sexy.
My husband surprised me with these stylish ankle boots for Christmas! Shoes are always the way to a girl’s heart, right? Or at least this girl. After I unwrapped them, though, I wasn’t sure how to make them work in my closet. I decided to dress up leggings with ankle boots, and I loved the result. The comfort of leggings combined with the style vibes of ankle boots is a winning combination in my book.
One of my favorite winter trends for 2018 is the slouchy beanie. It’s been so cold here lately that I think I need beanies in every color to keep myself warm! That’s right, I said “need.” Today, I’m sharing this fun look featuring a mint beanie to show how to style a CC beanie for girls.
Our first Christmas as a family of four is officially in the books! And wow, this holiday season was a complete whirlwind. For starters, various combinations of the kids and I were sick for about the first 2 weeks of December. Between recovering from illness and having a baby who doesn’t sleep through the night, I felt like I was on auto-pilot for most of the season.
Of course, I still wanted to do all of our favorite holiday traditions with the little ones. We just had to cram everything in super fast once we were all feeling better! I knew this would be a really fun year, since Colton is at an age where he thinks Christmas is really magical. Plus, it was Blair’s very first Christmas! And there’s nothing better than a baby’s first holiday season.
