#sweaterweather

It's October and its that time of year, changing of colors, crisp evenings, pumpkin pies, orange decorations and SWEATER Galore!!!

In California, October is perfect, the weather is perfect for sweaters and maybe a light jacket in the evenings. I love grabbing a coffee in a local coffee shop and reading a new book. Apparently October is also National Book Month so it seems like October and books were a match made in heaven.
Now back to sweaters, I love the fluffy ones, the colorful ones and oversized ones. It is a perfect go to Fall outfit, some skinnies and a cute sweater on top.
I am so excited to finally wear my sweaters and buy a few more, as you will tell from the options I provide below, I am not only a fan of sweaters but also sweaters with a little bit of a funky design that can all be worn with a comfy pair of leather leggings and booties. Here are some options that I am resisting the impulse to buy:

The Oversized Sweater:

This one is from Asos, its adorable and affordable (my favorite combination!)

Another oversized option is this Two Tone Knit from Zara.











The Fluffy Sweater:

With a little embellishment, this Dorothy Perkins has the perfect amount of fluff that can be paired with a nice pencil mini and booties.

Completely out of my price range but the amount of fluff is perfection, Chloe never disappoints.











The Why Not, It looks soooo COMFY!

This Zara knit looks to comfy to pass off.

I think a sassy sweater is in order and for me this one seems perfect for the job!










Have a fabulous and sassy rest of the week!

#sassy pants

I am sure everyone has those days when sniddy comments and a sassy attitude is the one way that you will be able to get through the day, especially around certain people.
Well I am firm believer that a sassy attitude is greatly complimented with a sassy outfit, particularly sassy pants.
Vibrant prints, animals prints and geometric shape prints are on everything lately and I love it. There is nothing like spicing up a simple work outfit with a bit of print. The print adds personality, style and just enough sass to get you through the day. Below I have a few pant options that are perfect for in and out of the office!
(FYI: Zara is having a sale and they have such amazing options for printed trousers!)

This printed trouser with the side stripe is perfect, with a simple, plain top it would be perfect in any office and for a night out with the girls!

I love these Banana Republic pants, affordable and sassy!

These Trina Turk "Mandie" Silk Pants look so comfortable and sassy, I need them!!

And finally these A.L.C. Sutro Pants that are on sale! I've been watching these for a while now!












I hope everyone has a fabulous Monday and a stylish week!

#Bun in the "duchess" oven

Continuing from yesterday's post about starting the fashionistas young, going back even further, per the request of my best friend who is also has a phenomenal teaching blog at http://assistingdescubrimiento.blogspot.com/ (check her out), I want to talk about the lady duchess Catherine and her impeccable maternity style.
I am not pregnant and don't plan on being so any time soon, however, pregnant Lady Catherine's fashion choice is to die for. I mean, there are many women out there that are not pregnant and don't look as good as her. My best friend said it best: I love her so much I hate her. Granted it is easy to look fabulous when you are royalty, but it is not the brand of clothing she wears as much as it is the cut, shape and style. Now all stores, such as Forever 21, are replicating designer styles, so there is no excuse. Anyone can afford to be stylish, even on a budget.
If I haven't mentioned before, I am a law student, so trust me I am on a budget, but that doesn't stop me from dressing well while still being frugal.

So here is the lady of the post. It should probably be illegal to look this adorable but unfortunately the laws are different in England. I also have some affordable alternatives to create the same look on a reasonable budget....

I just about died of cuteness when I saw her in this polka dot dress!! The style is perfect--a flowy skater-style skirt with a higher waist band. It accentuates a thin frame while still accommodating the bun down below.
Asos has great clothing at an affordable price. This Polka Dot Skater Dress  is only $30.55. Add a little blazer and you are pregnant in style!

Maggy London from Nordstrom

I am sure there are nonpregnant women that can't pull off this dress as well as the royal lady does! The floral motif has definitely made a come back and this preggo duchess knows how to keep her bump in style.
