I will keep this short and sweet so we can get straight to the good stuff! I'm wearing a lot of my new things today and am crazy obsessed with every bit of it! How amazing are these boots against the scuba leggings? Such a cozy outfit to kick off December and just what I needed to get me excited to get dressed for work after a long holiday weekend!
Sunnies: Tom Ford | Sweater: Old Navy | Bag: Lauren Ralph Lauren | Top: BP | Leggings: Express | Boots: Vince Camuto (other colors here, here and here)
One year ago today, this linkup was born. It was holiday style themed through the month of December before we ultimately decided to coin it with its Manic Monday name. It has been so amazing, encouraging, humbling, and exciting to see it grow from the 24 participants that first week to what it is today! As a thank you, Gina and I have organized a $650 EXPRESS gift card giveaway with a group of fabulous bloggers and fellow Manic Mondayers. The giveaway will run for one week and is open to US and Canadian residents, although the actual amount of the gift card will be based on $650 US dollars. Good luck and THANK YOU!

Hellooooo lover! This outfit is for sure going to be on one of my all time favorites lists! I love it soooo much! Can't believe that sweater is from ON (although I can, of course, because I saw you try it on IG...LOL). Cheers to the past and year and to an even better second year! #ithoughtilovedyouthentoobutididntknowwhatloveisuntilnow

hahaha! Your hashtag!!!
DeleteAnd yay! I'm so happy you like this! Ever since I saw the boots with faux leather leggings, I knew I had to wear it the same way STAT! And yes - this sweater is the bomb.com! Old Navy is so sketchy for me, but this is truly a winner!
It's been a year since we've been together!!! I didn't even realize this giveaway was also our anniversary LOL!
ReplyDeleteLove the sweater - and you're a genius to solve the problem of which boots to wear with scuba/pleather type leggings - suede is definitely the way to go!

Thanks so much, lady! The boots are just amazing. I'm in love!
DeleteI love your bag!
ReplyDeleteIf I was going to get something right now it would be a new 'leather' jacket from them.
I got one last year and it is amazing. I just want an updated and new one! I forget exactly what they're called but it's something like 'everything but the leather' or something... but they're awesome jackets!
Your sweater looks amazing with those leggings!
ReplyDeleteGreat look! Love the sweater!!
ReplyDeletewww.rdsobsessions.com
If I could only choose one Express item that I just had to have... that's a tough one, but I think I'd go with the Wool Blend Zip Front Cape. It's a classic! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this giveaway, doll! So exciting!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely snap up the Wool Blend Toggle Coat if I won- what an awesome piece!
