Layerbility

 Sweater: Free People 'Shaggy Knit Pullover' 

Top: Free People 'Voile and Lace Trapeze Slip' in Ballet/Dark Plum

Jeans: American Eagle - love THESE

Boots: Nordstrom BP 'Trolley' Leather Ankle Booties

Necklace: Bauble Bar 'Iced Lariat Pendant Necklace'

If you haven't already noticed, my Free People pieces tend to be on heavy rotation. I love them for their layerbility. Haven't heard that word? That's because I made it up. Just now. What is layerbility? The ability for pieces to be easily layered. I know what you are thinking....so clever, Ashley! 

In the winter, layering for warmth is a must. There is nothing I love more than being all layered up and cozy. It's my favorite. I mean if I have to bear the cold, I might as well be wearing as many clothes as I possibly can to deflect it as much as possible, right? 

Sometimes this works to my disadvantage. 

The other day, I ran out the door to meet my boyfriend who was picking me up...

Boyfriend: Gives me a look

Me: "What?"

Boyfriend: Shakes head..."Nothing."

Me: "No, really...what?!"

Boyfriend: "You are just really into the baggy stuff lately."

Me: "Oh, it's layering. You don't like it?"

Boyfriend: Silence

Me: "You don't like it?!?!?!"

Boyfriend: "Hobo girl style."

There you have it. My layering sometimes makes me look hobo. It's okay though. I'm totally owning it. 

Snowflakes

 Overalls: Free People 'Washed Denim Overalls' in the Brady Wash

Top: Free People 'Hard Candy Stripe Cuff Top'

Vest: North Face 'Aconcagua Vest' 

Hat: Free People 'Pom Pom Mohair Beanie'

Boots: Mom's circa the late 80's

These pictures were snapped this weekend during some freak snow flurries. Friday was absolutely gorgeous with a clear, sunny sky and the 50 degree temps had melted any clues that there had ever been snow. Saturday, I woke to snow flakes and 30 degrees, and it continued to snow ALL day. Although I am a summer girl through and through, I don't mind the snow when I don't have to drive anywhere, I'm sitting inside, on the weekend or when dressed appropriately :) 

So wearing snow boots (my mom's, from the 80's....I like them) and my favorite hat, I ventured out for about 10 minutes to admire the pretty snowflakes and throw a few snowballs at my sister. That was good enough for me. Then it was back inside for some netflix and hot chocolate.

Meet my latest obsession...overalls. My sweet boyfriend got me this absolutely perfect pair from Free People and I would be lying if I told you I didn't want to wear them every single day. Thank you sweet boyfriend of mine for knowing me so well!
