Random Roundup

Holy crap, guys. I have 12 random roundup outfits to share with you. They appear to be multiplying by the second, so let's just get right to it, shall we? You know the drill - I'm only linking to items that are still available.

Scarf: Express | Tunic: LOFT | Leggings: Express | Booties: Hinge

Scarf season is in full effect! Anything + a scarf = an outfit. This tunic was a Columbus Day sale purchase, and what can be better than stripes AND pockets! The scarf is one of my all time favorites, and really finishes off every outfit perfectly.

Scarf: Francesca's | Top: LOFTBottoms: Forever 21 | Boots: Naturalizer

Seriously, I wasn't lying about scarf season. I'm *pretty* sure I got this scarf at Francesca's. I've had it for almost 4 years now, and it, too, is one of my all time faves. And here are my new favorite Naturalizer boots again! I just can't get enough of them already.

Scarf: Express | Trench: Ann Taylor | Dress: Bailey 44Booties: Hinge

This is the same dress and bootie outfit I wore in Montreal here. But, it wasn't quite cold enough for a blanket scarf this day. I've realized that this trench really is the perfect transitional piece! It was completely temperature appropriate, and the sleeves of the dress plus the scarf kept me comfortable it the cooler, but not cold, weather.

Top: J Crew FactoryBottoms: Express | Booties: Nine West

This is what I should call the trilogy top because I have it in 3 colors. You can see the other two here and here. And then, you can see the last time I wore this exact top here. I really love that you can throw it on and not have to wear any other jewelry if you don't want to. I always feel a bit naked though when I'm not wearing earrings and my hair is up. Am I the only one?

Sweater: Express | Skirt: ExpressBoots: Naturalizer

This was the weekend I was horribly sick. I have never had such a bad "cold" in my life, if that's really what it was. All I did was sleep, and I couldn't breathe - it was awful. I actually had to sleep in the recliner the whole time because I couldn't breathe laying on my back. But the day I wore this, the husband needed me to leave the house, so I was all about comfort and soft things. This skirt will be in my wardrobe for quite some time! It's the best!

Necklace: Stella and Dot | Blazer: Halogen | Tank: ExpressBracelet: Forever 21 | Jeans: Express | Heels: Sam Edelman

I stole this white blazer outfit straight from Gina's horoscope post here. And I'm not even a Scorpio! I always have trouble coming up with ideas to wear this blazer, so any time I see a good one, I jump on it right away! The last time you saw this blazer was over the summer here. One of my favorite summer looks!

Necklace: Premiere Designs | Dress: Gap | Jacket: Express | Boots: Naturalizer

Ah, the sweater dress! I just love me a good sweater dress, and I found this a couple seasons ago at the Gap outlet. Apparently I love wearing this dress with these exact boots because you can see this combo from over TWO YEARS ago here. Holy crap that's a long time to be taking outfit selfies!

Scarf: Kate Spade | Vest: J Crew Factory | Top: J Crew Factory | Jeans: Express | Booties: Sam Edelman

I seriously can't believe how much I love this vest. I would never ever have imagined I would get as much use out of it as I have. And this scarf - this scarf was my subject in my scarf tying video here. This time though, I looped the scarf around my neck twice, instead of just once, which is why it's tighter and less loosey goosey than in my older post. I think I prefer it this way better!

Jacket: Express (other colors here) | Tee: Cardinals store | Skirt: ExpressBoots: Naturalizer

Ugh. This outfit just makes me sad, but not because I don't like it. I won't go into too many details, but long story short, the Cardinals lost their right fielder, Oscar Taveras, to a car accident in the Dominican Republic.  His girlfriend also died in the accident - it was during a torrential downpour when it happened. This guy was SO young and at the start of his career. The team was basically built around him, knowing his potential and capabilities. As much time as I invest in watching this team, it was pretty sad for me, and also touching to watch not only the team and its fans, but the entire MLB community, show compassion and respect for this lost player. There was a bit of a rally on Twitter to wear red the day following his passing, so this was my homage.

Jacket: Pulse | Top: LOFT | Scarf: H&M | Jeans: Express | Booties: Hinge

This scarf will always be my forever scarf. It's just such a good one, that no matter how many other blanket scarves I may fall in love with over the next season, this one is just irreplaceable! I try really hard not to wear it every. Single. Day. This is the outfit that I was experimenting with when I posted my outfit flat lay on Instagram here.

Scarf: J Crew Factory | Jacket: ExpressDress: Express | Boots: Vince Camuto

Speaking of staples - here's another one of my many striped dresses from Express. I always tend to pair a red patterned scarf with it, so this time, I decided to be so super adventurous and try it with this green floral one instead. What do you know? Still pretty fabulous.

Jacket: Express | Top: ExpressBottoms: Express | Boots: Coach

And last, but not least, is the oversized plaid top you previously saw here. I decided to wear it the more traditional way - buttoned up with a partial tuck. And ok, I admit that in these photos, my bun may be just a weee bit on the big side. Don't cameras add 10 pounds? Well, then, I blame the camera for making it look bigger than real life!
