Hi Sugarplum!

Sugarplum Style, Vol. 36

December 9, 2016

Cheers to Friday! I’m so excited for the weekend! We’re surprising the kids with tickets to Christmas Pops at the Dallas Symphony tonight, and I can hardly wait to soak in all that holiday goodness! We went last year, and between the jaw-dropping music, sparkly lights, and getting dressed-up, we were bursting with Christmas spirit after. Every year our Advent activities get a little bigger, but we’re making memories here, folks! 😉 

Today it’s your monthly dose of Sugarplum Style…snapshots of my everyday outfits I post to InstaGram and Facebook, created by mixing-and-matching items in my closet. Thanks to cooler weather, there were a lot of cozy styles! (Be sure to check the bottom of the post for discount codes…most everything linked is on sale!)

Starting with this pajama set, which I think is now the most-liked image I’ve ever posted!? I mean, ya’ll love some good loungewear! And I can’t blame you, some weekends I don’t change out of mine all day. And how cute would this set be for Christmas morning?! You know pics will be taken, so you might as well have a cute get-up to offset the bedhead!

Fit Tip: I’m all about comfort with pajamas, so I sized up one to a small in these. They do relax & stretch a bit with wear. Or maybe that’s just because I wore them for days at a time. But they do bounce back after washing.

 Pajama Set (love these, too) | Holiday Mug | Needlepoint Christmas Pillow

Oh long cardigans, where have you been all my life?! I just adore the relaxed style, and the full coverage is an added bonus. 😉 
Fit Tip: I sized down in the sweater so it wouldn’t swallow my frame. We’re not trying to bring the duster back.

 Long Cardigan | Striped Tee (solid version) | Dark Jeans 
Crossbody Bag | Similar Boots | Sunglasses | Hoop Earrings
To say this little black dress has saved me might be a tad dramatic, but I can’t tell you the number of times I needed something a little dressy, a little festive, or a little sassy…and this number comes through every time. It’s constantly going in-and-out of stock because of it’s popularity, but it’s currently back, and on sale! It looks great this time of year with a moto jacket, too.
Fit Tip: It’s a roomie fit, and I wear an XS. 

 Swing Dress (love this one, too) | Similar Bag

Is there a better combo than stripes and plaid for this time of year? I love the dark charcoal of this scarf, and the gorgeous reds, yellows and greens that go with so much.
 Striped Tee | Plaid Scarf | Dark Jeans | Booties
I wore my stretchiest jeans (aka, eating pants) to Thanksgiving, along with a long top to hide the damage. I had seconds on pie, and no one was the wiser. 

Striped Tee | Long Cardigan | Plaid Scarf | Dark Jeans
Wedge Booties | Hoop Earrings

These boots are made for strutting! I can’t help but have a bounce in my step when I wear these darling (and comfy!) wedge booties. 
Fit Tip: The sweater runs small, I’m wearing a US4, but the booties are true.
Ruffle Sweater | Similar Non-Distressed Jeans | Wedge Bootie in ‘Beet Suede’
Monogrammed Bag| Sunglasses | Hoop Earrings | Watch | Bracelet

I styled this as part of my Day to Night post for pencil skirts, but wouldn’t it be the perfect holiday party outfit? Especially for office parties. 
 Lace Top | Pencil Skirt (also in petite) | Color-Blocked Clutch | Ring
Watch | Bracelet | Sunglasses | Leopard Heels

Here’s the charcoal plaid scarf again…looking so pretty paired with dark green. Did you catch my How To Tie Blanket Scarves post earlier this week? That’s the method I use for styling this scarf.
 Mock-Neck Pullover Sweater | Plaid Scarf | Distressed Jeans 
Leopard Cuff | Booties

It turns out, ponchos are also excellent at hiding food-babies. Not to mention, darling outfit additions.
 Poncho | Blouse (on sale!) | Favorite Black Jeans (only $35!) | Wedge Booties

Saddle Bag | Pendant Necklace | Sunglasses | Hoop Earrings | Leopard Cuff
Don’t mind me, just casually leaning on this flimsy wood fence, perched at the edge of a cliff! As long as I got the shot, right!? 😉 I guess this classic combo gave me courage.
Crewneck Sweater | Dark Jeans | Similar Boots
Crossbody Bag | Sunglasses

When life gets busy, I tend to find an outfit uniform, and stick with it. This month it was obviously the long cardi/scarf/boot uniform. Next month it’s likely to be the long cardi/scarf/boot uniform. 
 Plaid Scarf | Cardigan | White Tee | Dark Jeans
Similar Boots | Crossbody Bag 
The problem with doing Dressing Room Diaries posts, is I fall for things I’d never have tried otherwise. Case in point: these lounge pants. It’s never occurred to me to get lounge pants before. But I tried these on for y’all…and BAM, I’ve never needed lounge pants so badly in my life! Now I do everything in my power to not take these dang lounge pants off! I’ve even worn them under my yoga pants to run errands!!! And wearing them with this insanely-soft cardigan is like a dream. Seriously, the combo is enough for me to take to my bed for the rest of the year. 
Fit Tip: I sized up to a small in the pants, but wear an XS/S in the cardigan.

 Circle Cardigan | Striped Tank | Fleece Leggings
I’m laughing because Mr. SP isn’t clever enough to wear rainboots to the beach, and his feet were soaked and freezing. Aren’t I a sweet wife?!
 Striped Tee | Fleece Cardigan Wrap | Jeans | Rainboots
Beanie Hat | Sunglasses | Hoop Earrings
I posted this oldie-but-goodie outfit during Black Friday weekend because I was literally head-to-toe on sale. Not to be mistaken with for sale. Do you own this peacoat yet? It’s $37, and worth every penny. I’m kidding, it easily looks like a $200 coat in person. For real. I have it in three colors.

Fit Tip: Size up one or even two in the coat. I can wear a small or medium.

 Camel Peacoat | White Shirt | Gray Sweater | Jeans
Cognac Handbag | Sunglasses | Rainboots
So what’s the best thing about cold weather?! The opportunity to wear more layers!!
  Striped Shirt | Fair Isle Sweater | Crystal Necklace
Puffer Vest | Dark Jeans | Booties | Sunglasses
Simple, maybe. But never boring! This utility jacket has definitely gotten the most wear this season…so I’d say my cost-per-wear is around a quarter at this point! #girlmath
 Utility Jacket | White Tee | Leopard Scarf | Booties | Jeans
When you layer all the neutrals, is it still considered neutral?! Yes I did wear black, brown and gray all together! And I loved it! Almost as much as I love this top…which I might have worn to bed, and then styled it to go out the next day. 
 Plaid Scarf | Puffer Vest | Softest V-Neck | Jeans
Deer Print Bag | Booties | Hoop Earrings
I wore this stripe and fair isle combo to host a Mix & Mingle at J.Crew Mercantile last weekend, and they sold out of the sweater that day! It really is that cute.

Fit Tip: I like to size up in wool sweaters so there’s room for layering shirts under, so I’m wearing a Small.
 Striped Shirt | Fair Isle Sweater | Jeans | Crystal Necklace | Leopard Pumps
A fresh new hairdo (more on that soon) plus Friday night…so of course we went out. I love that this sweater dress doesn’t fit too close, nor does it look like a potato sack. I’ll add tights when the weather cools even more.

Fit Tip: Dress runs large, I’m wearing an XXS.

 Turtleneck Sweater Dress | Similar Boots | Colorblocked Clutch
And finally, this was for Dressing Room Diaries, but it received such a big response I wanted to make sure ya’ll saw it too. 
Striped Turtleneck Sweater | Bootcut Jeans | Booties
Softest Circle Cardigan | Henley Tank | Pajama Bottoms

I hope these posts inspire you to create new combinations from your closet! The key isn’t to have more clothes, but to mix up what you do have in new and different ways. Except these lounge pants and these booties, you need those. And if we’re being honest, these leggings, too. #trustme #enabler

    I love the lounge pants…You have become my personal shopper. I don't go to the stores, I just hit up your dressing room diaries and shop from there! Thanks!

    You are so great at pattern mixing! Somehow it never looks as cute on me. What brand of tights do you buy? I'm in need of some for this winter and I'm at a loss!
