No brainer


Cardigan: Design History (option, option) (I accidentally just ordered this one as I was looking for similar cardigans, oops.) | Scarf: The Glittered Owl | Tee: Marshall's (option) | Scuba front leggings: Express (option) | Boots: Aldo (option

Holy geez! What a long week! My blogger BFF On the Daily Express always does style inspiration posts every Friday where she recaps Express pieces blogged about throughout the week. I legit opened her post today thinking, "Aww man, I didn't even wear any good Express stuff this week." And then I saw my baseball jacket outfit, and I did the confused-dog-head-tilt, and thought, "Wait, what? That was *this* week?" 

And that's when I knew it had been the longest week ever.

So, in an effort to end this chapter entitled, "Polar Vortex," I decided to pick the easiest of easiest, no brainer outfits for me - chunky scarf (yes, third time you've seen this, I'm obsessed), striped flyaway cardi, scuba front leggings, over-the-knee boots. Done and done.

Oh, and I mustn't forget Tootsie, my tutu mug.

  1. *mwah* Thanks for the nice shout-out. You make my day:) I love this outfit- that scarf is just such a gorgeous color. Very flattering on you. And it's interesting because in the photos I cannot tell those are scuba front leggings. I have not worn mine because I feel like they're this huge statement piece, but they don't look it on other people in pictures. I need to just do it already!

    1. Yes absolutely! It was so icy yesterday morning or else I would have taken better detail pics bc I had a lot of textures going on in my outfit, including the shine in my pants! I think if you dress them "down" you will find they truly aren't a statement piece unless you want them to be!

  2. Love the pop of colour with the scarf :) It is definitely much easier to think of outfits when it's something you always wear! I always tend to rush in the morning before school (sleeping in more important than outfit hehe) so i never have time to put together something new to wear

    1. Oh yes, I'm always late, and it would do everyone a world of good if I would be more diligent at picking out my outfits the night before!! Thanks for the comment and for stopping by!

    1. I drink everything out of a straw, especially coffee! I don't like how gritty it makes my teeth feel!
      Glad I'm not the loner on that! And happy you have this, too, bc it's just so FUN!

  5. Simple and classy! I love the pop of color from your scarf. =) This polar vortex was even affecting sunny Florida last week. We dipped down into the teens several days in a row, which was cuh-razy for us!

    1. Oh I tried not to go outside if at all possible! It's great that the snow has cleared - hard to imagine it was so frigid this time last week!
