I love when the weather finally gets cool enough for scarves, coats and hats!
This is one of my favorite recent purchases. I was pretty much in desperate need of a new winter coat, so this fit the bill great. I love Old Navy pea coats!
I tend to suddenly get better at accessorizing when late fall/winter rolls around because I LOVE scarves. I’m also sharing this week about my favorite way to tie a scarf that’s a little different from the norm (see the video below).
I actually can’t remember the last time I wore a necklace other than the mother-child pendant Bobby gave me for my last birthday. But I put on this outfit, and it was total dullsville, so I scavenged my jewelry dish to see if I could find something that would look OK with it. Normally I would’ve just let it go and look a little boring, but since I started linking to the Working with Style posts on Saturdays, I actually challenge myself to look at least a little better!
And here’s the aforementioned how-to-tie-a-scarf vlog/tutorial. I don’t really expect you all to run out and start wearing your scarves like this (I think maybe it sounds like that at the end!), but I love wearing my scarves like this and just wanted to share!
Be sure to stop by Liberating Working Moms to check out Katherine’s super-cute outfit for this week! You can link up there, too, if you’d like!
Cute! I’m gonna try that for work.

I have that coat in orange 🙂 I’m totally going to try that scarf trick. I’m so bad at scarves.
Ok…#1…you’re freaking adorable! I love your disclaimers at the beginning of your VLOG. #2…A warm, dressy-ish winter coat is on my Christmas list. How have I got so many years without one!? #3…these style posts have really been challenging me too. I love it!
P.S. Thanks for linking up withe me! 🙂
Ha! I can’t remember the last time someone called me adorable. Thanks!
Hope you get an awesome coat for Christmas!
That necklace is awesome!
Thanks! It’s been sitting in my jewelry box FOREVER, just collecting dust.
I LOVE the coat! I also love that necklace. It looks like your hubby has a knack for picking cool stuff like mine! 🙂
I just organized my jewelry drawer & was amazed at all the treasures!
I own a dressy winter coat, despite the fact that I never get to wear it in this darned Sunshine State. The Nebraska Native can’t let go. I almost cried the other day at a boutique over this gorgeous tweed, which I had no earthly justification to purchase.
PS – I also love silly faces! 😛
I’m kind of laughing about the tweed, but you are so right. It would never get worn! I’ve never lived anywhere cold (always been in Bama), but I still love winter coats and scarves.
I am going to try that scarf tie today love it. A good reminder it doesn’t take much to TRY a little with style!
Yay! Glad you are going to give it a go! Let me know how it works for you!
I simply MUST know where you got your coat! It is GORGEOUS!
Thanks! It’s from Old Navy!
