Sweater: Nordstrom. Faux leather leggings: Club Monaco (very similar). Booties: Aldo via Zappos. Purse: Forever 21 (very similar). Necklace: Add-a-Pearl. Earrings: Baublebar. 

I have a feeling that you're going to be seeing a lot of these booties over the next few months. I'm obsessed! Mark gave me this ultra-cozy sweater for Christmas and I think I've worn it four times already! It's so cozy and the high-low hem is perfect to wear with these faux leather leggings. The necklace I'm wearing here is very near and dear to me. It's an Add-a-Pearl necklace and so it started as just one pearl that I got from my grandma when I was probably seven or eight. My sister has one too. My grandma has since passed away, but my mom continues to give us pearls for birthdays and Christmases. The idea is that eventually we'll have a full string of pearls. 

Hope your week is going well!

I wore this outfit to a concert last Friday, and I'm pretty much obsessed with it. Especially the sequined top! I've already got three different holiday outfits planned around it. Now I just need to get invited to some parties...

I'm off to California tonight for a long Halloween weekend with Mark! To say I'm excited is an understatement.

I wore this outfit to a blogger/instagrammer get together that Nora and Megan hosted over the weekend. That's one of my absolute favorite things about blogging, being able to meet other like-minded people. 

This weekend was very laid back. I did a little shopping, saw The Skeleton Twins (depressing), baked pumpkin bars, and tried some new bar/restaurants with my sister. I have a midterm every week for the next three weeks, so I probably won't have very many relaxing weekends in the near future!
