Throwback Thursday Style: Oversized Knit Two Ways

I got this fabulous knit a couple years back and have had trouble keeping it on the racks during the winter months, it's just that cozy and happens to have some chic elements to it. And since it's about that time for another Throwback Thursday style I thought two ways to wear this bad boy would be absolutely fitting, especially since I'm about to throw myself right on into this cold weather TOMORROW!

Perfectly Plaid

 After last week's shopping invite to my (newly minted) local Nordstrom Rack, I couldn't decide on which piece to wear first. Sure, I got plenty of fall fabulous sweaters and some fun layers that I just can't wait to wear, but nothing really compared to this shirt. Who can resist a boxy (and oversized) plaid and sheer paneled shirt? Actually after saying that out loud it doesn't sound so great, but look, just look. Fabulous, right? Too bad it didn't come in other color options for stocking up purposes...

 I spied it while passing by the clearance rack and almost didn't pick it up, but after trying it on, I knew it would be a mistake not to spend the whopping $15 on it. Turns out it matches perfectly with my leather mini and (another great Rack find) these amazing embossed pumps, which is a refreshing break from my booties, after all it's practically summer here. And if the front didn't quite sell you on the fabulosity of this shirt, the back sure as hell will, check it out. All in the details, ladies. 

Been to Nordstrom Rack lately and grab some amazing finds, share'm in the comment box (you know I love hearing about a shopping steal!)

Trend Report - Pastels

For me pastels aren't just reserved for spring time, they're also perfectly acceptable for the Fall and Winter months paired with the right pieces and accessories. This time around for the Kotex Trend Challenge we're going for pastels, and this lavender cashmere sweater is the right piece for the job.

Somehow I knew it'd going perfectly with my trusty skater skirt and these amazing (and pastel!) textured tights. However, looking back a more delicate booties probably would've been better - we live and learn...

Cropped and Ladylike

 While midi's aren't the most ideal for my petite frame I couldn't help but get excited for this metallic threaded black full skirt (and it's wool!) by Joe Fresh at TJMaxx for $10! I immediately knew that if I went cropped I just might be able to make it work, and it just so happens that it did (I wore the same combination in NC + a beanie a few weeks back sans pictures). A little Carrie Bradshaw 35th birthday esque, don't you think?

Fabulous Freebie - Fabulous K's "Leopard is a Neutral" Desktop

You and I both know I have a fondness for leopard and have on numerous occasions professed my undying love along with insisting this amazing animal print is a neutral. So, after seeing this amazing print by Fabulous K while doing a little pinning this afternoon I knew it was too fabulous not to share, Am I right?

Thanks Fabulous K for the Weekend Inspo!
