Funky Pants

Alright everyone, it's time for my weekly office-friendly look!  I centered today's OOTD around my BCBG pants.  I bought these way back in the day, but they sat in the back of my closet because I didn't have the confidence to wear them out.  While I was going through my closet and figuring out what to keep, sell, and donate, I finally decided that it was time to man up!

I decided to stick with a neutral color scheme for today's look.  I styled my high-waisted bottoms with a ruffled tank and a chic blazer for a polished, sophisticated vibe.  Since I don't have product links for you guys, here are other adorable options for y'all:

My top sans jacket.  I bought this tank at H&M a while back for $10.  I absolutely love their sales, but shopping their online store can be a pain since they don't accept returns in stores - hopefully they'll change their policy soon! Do you guys shop online often? If so, at what stores?

Remix: The Drapey Parka

I'm beyond excited to remix my Aero parka for you guys - clicky here if you missed the first post! Anywho, I thought I'd tackle brown & black today on SS.  I feel like a lot of people are afraid to wear the aforementioned color combo.  I'm not quite sure why, but it's become a fashion faux-pas. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with the pairing.  For today's OOTD, I threw on a long, black knit and paired it with leggings (my cold weather uniform, ha).  I wore my brown parka on top and put on tobacco colored boots to match. To finish off my look, I carried my Coach crossbody.  The print injects personality, while the color scheme ties the whole look together.  What do you guys think of the color combo - is it a do or a don't?

Let's take a closer look at my new boots courtesy of Cat Footwear. I absolutely LOVE them because they're so cute and comfortable - you get Ugg-like comfort without the ugg-ly design, hardy har har. Wedge heels are the best because they give you height without pain. A total win for vertically challenged people like myself, ha.  If you're looking for fab investment boots, make sure you guys pick up a pair HERE - I'm wearing tobacco, but they're also available in black and cafe.  Note: these boots cost a pretty penny - they're expensive, but remember, you're paying for quality!
