Sugarplum Style, Vol. 7 - Hi Sugarplum!

Happy, happy Friday! It’s less than a week until Christmas…are you ready?! I hope to finish up this weekend so I can savor next week, and time off with the family. And unfortunately for my jeans, most of my family has ~~demanded~~ requested I bring Crack Bark to all our gatherings. Thank goodness for lycra.

Jeans have pretty much taken over my wardrobe lately…along with lots of layers…as you’ll see in this latest round of Sugarplum Style.

Vests have become my go-to layering piece this season…I love how they add to an outfit, but don’t add hot-flashes like a full-blown jacket can.

Dark sweaters look so fresh when paired with white jeans. See more options in Five Ways to Wear White After Labor Day.

I found this J.Crew look-a-like herringbone vest on Groop Dealz about a month ago, and I’ve worn it at least twice a week since. It always sells out, but I post it on my Facebook page whenever it becomes available. And PS, use HISUGARPLUM15 for 15% off when you shop!

First with stripes, and the next day I wore it with plaid and spots.

Stripes + Plaid never lets me down…or gets old, apparently. This top has a fun zipper back that makes it more interesting.

Booties | Watch | Bag (similar)

I’ve never been so happy about rainy days as I am now that I have rain boots!

Red Puffer Vest | Plaid Shirt (similar) | Skinny Jeans
Look-for-Less Rainboots | Boot Socks | Watch

I don’t know why more retailers don’t make dog sweaters.

Military Vest | Dog Sweater (similar) | Pink Gingham Shirt (similar)
White Jeans | Booties | Watch

Tip: For shirts that are a little short, or tend to ride up, layer a longer tank underneath. That’s what I do for this one to make it appear longer.

Blanket scarves are a lot of material around your face, so I usually reserve them for ~~dirty hair~~ ponytail days.

This Fall was all about the plaid…but I think fair isle is taking over for Winter. And don’t get me started about plaid paired with fair isle! Expect to see that combo on me next.

Fair Isle Sweater | Chambray Shirt | Flap-pocket Jeans | Knee Boots (similar) | Watch

You’re likely starting to recognize many of the pieces I wear since they show up time, and time again…the key isn’t to have more clothes, but to mix up what you do have in new and different ways. I hope these posts inspire new combinations from your closet!
