Tube Scarf....

Sweats: Bershka / Top: Cotton On / Boots: UGG / Scarf: H&M {in stores, loving this} / Sunnies: H&M / Earrings: Old Navy / Bracelet: Gift

I actually thought that calling this a tube scarf was something that I just made up which happens a lot. I know there is "technical" names to a lot of trends but guess what... I call them what I want. Anyways, as I was doing this post I learned that another name for them are actually tube scarves.... what do ya know, I was right! 

This is my typical Sunday attire after church. I come home and usually immediately throw on the sweats to have a lazy Sunday with the fam. This scarf was perfect to add to my comfy look.

Happy Wednesday!

Peace & Love

No Effort Scarf......

Sweater: H&M {love this one} / Jeans: Gap / Scarf: Target {on sale in stores} / Beanie: H&M Boots: Hunter {similar} Sunnies: F21 / Watch: Target

Not many of my scarves can I just throw around my neck and out the door I go, but this one is a perfect one to do it and my current favorite. It's thick, long, cozy and the design is perfection! Pretty sure I will be wearing this all winter since it's still FREEZING in this little place of the world. Hope you guys are staying warm wherever you are. I am sure jealous of those in warm places. I don't think I will be able to take it here much lo ng... vacation is calling my name!

Outfit + Weekly Challenge....

Sweater: H&M{loving this one} / Dress{Worn as Skirt}: Charlotte Russe / Blazer: Target{Similar & on sale} / Tights: Unknown / Booties: Vince Camuto {similar}  / Necklace: F21

I am excited to say my weekly challenges are back in buisness. Now, like I have said before these are mainly for me. I don't know about you but as much as I love putting outfits together and and getting dressed every morning, I have those items in my closet that collect desk and go unworn. So with these challenge they make me think outside the box which I hope that you guys join along with me. Like I have said before, anyone can pull off any look there is just ONE key.... be confident. People may look at you, laugh at you, question you, but as long as you are confident in what you are wearing it will make the world of different and don't worry those who are laughing are just jealous and have nothing better to do the criticize what you are wearing. So wear what you want!

This weeks challenge is to wear a scarf a different way every day this week. This weeks challenge was a request giving to me forever ago by a reader{so sorry I am just getting to it}. I am actually really needing this because I feel like I am a sucker for scarves. However, my problem is I don't wear them enough. Scarfs are one of my favorite things to wear when I do because they can add so much to a look. You can use them to dress or down a outfit or a lot of time I wear it to add color. I am excited this week to see what I can come up with which I am sure won't be too crazy! Anyone is welcome to join me in this challenge!

 BTW, best news of my weekend is.... all your well wishes worked,WE FOUND OUR PERFECT HOUSE! I am seriously so excited and can't wait to move in. Won't be for awhile becuase its still being built which gives me some time to plan each rooms theme! Cant wait!

Below Freezing......

Bottoms: H&M / Button up: Old Navy / Sweater: J. Crew / Vest: Old Navy / Boots: Hunter / Necklace: H&M, F21 / Watch: Michael Kors / Bracelet: F21 / Sunnies: Steve Madden / Belt: Thrifted

If you are in Utah, you know what I am talking about. If you plan to come here in the next few weeks, Don't! Freezing is a under statement. Seriously, not even all these layers help keep the cold from getting to the bone.

 Do you get the point by now I hate the cold and would rather be in the sun.

I guess the bright side of this coldness is that I get to layer up and TRY to get myself warm which I always love doing.  I hope that some of you are in warm places right now... can I come visit? Pretty please??

Anyways, the best news of the day is it's Friday..... the weekend!

Lets cross those little fingers that husband and I can find that perfect house for us. This whole house hunting is getting real old!

Happy Friday!

Peace out

eShakti...

I was thrilled when I was asked to do a product review for Eshakti a few months back. I had never heard of them before and man was I missing out. Eshakti is a company that not only makes the cutest dress/skirts/jackets & tops but customize them to fit you perfectly. Don't you hate that at some stores you may fit into a small but then others a medium or large. Can be very frustrating at times, I must say. But with Eshakti they make it simple. All you have to do is give them your measurements and they do all the work to making it fit perfectly. Oh yes, and the best thing about them is that they will customize any piece just how you want it making a skirt or dress longer, even adding sleeves to a top. Perfect right?

Skirt: eShakti

Top: ASOS

Booties: Target

Scarf: F21

Watch: Target {crushing on this one}

I had been looking for a skirt just like this for a long time. It is perfect for winter with it being longer then my normal knee length skirts. Also I just loved the buttons going up the fronts adds a little more detail. The best things about this new piece in my wardrobe is that the quality is awesome. It's something that I will be able to keep forever!

Thanks eShakti, go check them out!

Here are a few of the other pieces I am crushin on
