winter style – The Sol Compass

Glam Winter Denim

Welcome back everyone! You may remember seeing this Teddy coat paired with an LBD for a similar glam-ed up winter look, but for those days that it’s just too cold to wear anything but jeans, it’s perfect to add a little bit of fabulous into your daily wardrobe.

Teddy Coat

Hi lovelies, happy Monday! I’ve been searching for a fluffy statement coat for a while now, and I expected myself to find a fitted long tan number that I loved, but my sister bought this glamorous pink one and I knew it would be the perfect third piece for winter! Whether you’re a jeans or dress lover, I think it’s the perfect way to add a touch of fabulous to your January uniform.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a great week!

A Few Things Borrowed

Hi everyone, Happy Monday! A few weeks ago on an unexpectedly mild Sunday, my mom let me raid her closet and borrow this gorgeous coat + tote combo.

Somehow my mom, sister, and I all have different shoe sizes, which we used to joke was cosmically unfair (not to mention nearly impossible). Three girls in the same household and none of us could share shoe sizes. Luckily, in clothes, sometimes we lucked out. And if not, there are always the accessories.

Thanks for stopping by – I hope you have a great day!

Magenta Dress

Hi everyone, welcome back! I’m really excited about today’s outfit because the entire thing cost me less than $100 (save for the necklace and earrings, which were gifts from B and my sister, respectively). I’ve always believed that anyone can slap on some high end labels, but truly stylish people can make things from any price point work for them, so I was pretty unabashedly proud when I realized how budget friendly this outfit was. My heels are a couple years old, but I found them at Target, which amazes everyone who asks me where I got them. My dress was a clearance find from LOFT, and this belt is a knock off from Amazon for only $15!

Contrast Colors

Happy Hump Day everyone! I have always loved the combination of blue and black, as seen here and here, but the light shade of this suede jacket has even more of a pop against black.

Thanks for reading – have a great day!

Blue Christmas

Hey everyone, Happy Wednesday! I can hardly believe we are in the final few days before Christmas weekend! I spent last night wrapping all of my gifts (which is about as last minute as I have ever done Christmas wrapping!) and listening to Christmas music. The classics, such as ‘Blue Christmas’ always get me.

Cozy Holiday Style

Hey everyone, happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. We got quite a bit of snow in Mass, so I’m finally ready to start putting more serious thought into my outerwear options for the next few months.

This shearling jacket from Old Navy reminds me of one my mom used to own. It’s in the same classic fabrics, but with an updated moto silhouette. And how cute is this Barbour beanie?!

Pink Winter

Welcome back friends! You may remember this coat from this post; I first wrote about it over two years ago but it’s up on my header still you have probably seen it a time or two! Over the weekend I wanted to wear a heavily layered look including a quilted vest and my gray sweater, but I couldn’t quite settle on a coat to wear. After a little hesitation, I decided to bring this one back into rotation. I was hesitant since I haven’t been embracing bright colors the way I did two years ago when I got this coat on the clearance rack in January at Target, but no fewer than four people I didn’t know (and two I did) told me they loved it while I was wearing it. The lesson here today kids is never, ever, ever undersell Target fashion. That, and always wear vests under winter coats.

(And to boot, Bloglovin’ posted an entire article about pink coats yesterday).

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

An Olive, a Camel, and a Leopard…

I have been loving the combination of a sweater under a blazer this month. My office doesn’t get as much sun as the front offices do, and I feel like we are in a constant battle of how high to keep the heat up. Instead of keeping my winter coat on all day (which definitely does not feel great on my shoulders and neck), I’ve been layering a cozy crew neck sweater underneath a blazer. It’s definitely not too warm where it gets uncomfortable, but keeps the warmth in just enough for me to be not shivering all day long!

2017

Hey everyone, welcome back! I hope you all had a great holiday season and that your year is off to an excellent start. 2016 was a great year for me. I traveled to a few new and a few old places, ate lots of tacos, and continued to fall more in love with this great big beautiful world around me. I’m so excited to write 2017 with even more love and tacos.

While I’m kicking off this year with an outfit post, I would love to hear what you guys want to see more of on the blog. I have a few Disney posts to share with you about outfits and meals, plus I’m starting Whole30 on Sunday to reset after the gluttonous holiday season and vacation. If you guys have any interest in following along as I do it (or if there’s anything else you want to see more of) let me know in the comments below!
