Styling a Casual Plaid + Fringe + A Discount Code!

Thursday, November 16, 2017

Well, hello - happy Thursday! I'm back with an outfit post - woo hoo! Having twin babies has been a whirlwind, so it's a miracle that I actually have time to write a blog post.

The boys are currently taking a nap, so I have a few minutes to spare. And by few minutes I mean seconds, so imagine me typing like a maniac to get this written before someone wakes up. Ha! I'm sure Liam is already watching me with one eye open.

Have I mentioned I love these little guys? Anyway, that's not even what today's post is about. Let's get to it.

Top | Jeans | Booties | Purse 

My mom style is in full effect these days. It's either cozy joggers, a basic tee, or an easy throw on-and-go type of look. That's exactly what this one was! Chris and I had a ton of errands to run the day I wore this, which also meant pumping in the car to stay on schedule, so a button-down it was.

Here's a tip to all of my new or soon to be mamas - buy button-down tops. A LOT of them. They are perfect with new babies. This plaid button-down has been on major repeat in my closet, and it's finally back in stock! Check out how I styled it with booties and cute accessories (perfect for Thanksgiving!), or with leggings and tennis shoes when I was running back and forth to the NICU for the boys.

And then there's today's look, which is more of my typical. I love a good plaid, skinny jeans, and flat booties, but I love a great purse even more.

What I love about this fringe bag from Positive Elements is that it doubles as a cross body like I styled here, or you can also remove the strap and carry it as a clutch. That means, it's a day to day bag, a great accessory for your holiday looks, or perfect for a night out on the town. I don't mind spending a bit more on purses when I know I can style it multiple ways, and get the most for my money.

Did I mention it's 100% Italian leather? Smells SO good, y'all. Does anyone else love the smell of leather? I can't get enough! If you're curious on my exact one, it's called the AG Cross Body Fold Over in Navy. It's $176 (not bad!), and available at Positive Elements. You can save 20% + free shipping now through 12/10 with code: LOVE FRINGE. The 20% off applies to any order, so browse their site and grab something you like.

If you're looking to treat yourself, or spend a little more on someone for Christmas, this would make the perfect gift! I'm sure there isn't a girl around that will complain about getting a cute new purse. Just sayin'.

And speaking of gifts - I am preparing some gift guides for this year. I've gotten some feedback that people would like to see a Gift Guide for Him, and a Gift Guide for Babies. Anything else you wanna see? I will do specific guides for a few categories, and then link the rest of the products that I'm loving through the blogs top navigation bar. Check it out when you have a free second - there is some cute stuff out there this year!

It's getting close y'all. Eek! Can't wait to start decorating for my favorite time of the year!
Until next time.
