The past few days have been full of rain, bringing in cool temps that could not be more welcomed in this crazy heat we've been having. I decided that I would embrace this cool weather and pull out my favorite jeans for a comfy workday outfit. I have been all about shorts and skirts these days but I always forget how much I love my jeans until I put them on and spend a day working in them. These are seriously the best jeans I have ever owned... no wonder I own at least three pairs of the same kind. Whoops.

Yesterday was my birthday and I woke up feeling extra girly.  I knew that this busy shoe top was exactly what I needed to wear my feelings on my sleeve (see what i did there?). I mean, navy and yellow and shoes-- seems like the perfect shirt to me! It was a great piece to transition from day to night as well so I threw a pair of jeans in my purse and changed into them for a night out on the town, and checking out some fun Christmas lights, with some friends. I love pieces that can easily transition and this top did exactly that.

Winter Wish List

Now that the cold weather is here to stay, it's time to start thinking about ways to dress up your outfits this winter. A few things that every good winter outfit consists of are a great bag, sparkly accessories and a warm, flattering coat. I would happily own any of the above items and love that the prices range anywhere from $6-$500 so there is really something for every budget. While I am currently doing my best to not spend too much money on myself (gotta save up for the holidays!) I know that splurging on those boots or sunglasses wouldn't break the bank and they may have to be one of my next purchases.

What about you-- what are you wishing for this winter?

Linking up with Leann and Kayla.
