Happy Hump Day! If you're reading this...you've made it half way through the work week, go you! If you haven't noticed....the snow hasn't left. There's been many days where my rad photographer Tess Ware joins me in this crazy hobby, cold weather and all. However, this particular day was insanely cold {says Tess...ha ha} so, we captured some of this look indoors. Towards the end I persuaded Tess to take a couple shots outside....and this is how the conversation went. Tess: "It's freezinggggg outside." Me: "It actually feels nice out with the sun." Tess: "I can see your breath..." Valid statement. Very valid statement. So yes, it's been freezing and I'm in some serious denial. 

Onto this look. I scored this cozy sweater from Forever21. I usually object to buying sweaters this late into winter, but if you've lived an Iowa or have been to...winter tends to drag on and on. At times it's a super bummer...because well,  I'm more than ready for bright prints, sandals, and simple layers. This look was meant to be simplistic and chic. I love these old Naughty Monkey boots and although like some of the stuff lingering in my closet, I try to find similar pieces you lovelies will enjoy. On that note, if you ever have any questions or feel a product isn't close to what you're looking for...don't hesitate to contact me at mandynicoleblog@gmail.com. I love hearing from all of you and most definitely can answers any questions. I hope you enjoy this simply winter look. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Phew, I feel like its been forever since I've posted. Mother nature and daylight savings time haven't exactly been on my side, but that's life! I hope you all enjoyed your Turkey Day and as the saying goes, gobbled till you wobbled. This year was full of first times for many things and as a family it was hard to celebrate without the life of the party, my dad. However, the importance of Thanksgiving besides all the delicious food is being with family and celebrating what in fact you're thankful for everyday. So, as a late-post..I am thankful for the memories my family and I carry and for the support of friends and family! Thank you for all who follow, I enjoy expressing what I love through fashion. On a side note, can we talk about how cute this striped puffer vest from Shopbellac is? It's a key piece for layering and can go with about everything. Style saver: shot for pieces that are versatile and can be worn many different ways, this will help you spend less and save more! I'm also obsessing over this embellished Target Style sweater. Target has a dealing going on just today buy one sweater and get another 50% off. I linked this sweater here, here and this leopard cardigan here. A girl can never have enough shoes sweaters for the cold winter months! Enjoy your Saturday loves!

Anyways, I'm a repeat offender with this little striped number and when layering, I love how effortless a look can be.
