Something I’m learning with short hair is that DANG IT SUCKS WHEN IT’S COLD. When the and blows, I feel this coldness in the back of my neck and I”m like WTF is happening right now?! Why do I feel that? WHY DO I NOT LIVE IN FLORIDA?!

My severe case of CNS (cold neck syndrome) has lead me to invest in quite a few pair of scarves this winter. The one I’m wearing here is almost identical to the Zara one that sold out EVERYWHERE after being spread around like wildfire on Pinterest. Best part? It’s SUPER SUPER soft and affordable! I got it for Christmas from Goodnight Macaroon, a super cute little online boutique (where I got this dress, this military-style jacket and the sweater I’m wearing today!)

Funny story - I had put this scarf on my gift guide and 3 of my family members bought it for me! THREE. I also bought it for my sister if that shows you how much I love it. (AND HER!)

If you have any scarves you’re obsessing with this season, please share them in the comments below! My neck will be hibernating in scarves like these until Spring - might as well look cute while doing it! XO!

I love a good thrift shop find. I don’t frequent them as often as I’d like (the hubby abhors them) but I can’t help but stop in every once in a while. You can find SUCH GOOD DEALS. Once, I found a Tibi blouse for $8. True story.

I’ve been really wanting to try the oversized button-up trend, but my hubby’s shirts looked a bit sloppy on my frame. And I certainly didn’t want to pay full price for a trend I’m not even sure I’ll love a few months from now. I snagged this Theory button-up at a local consignment shop for $10. Yes, you read that right. Ten dollars. I unbuttoned an extra button to give a little sass to the looseness and I really loved the result. Finished off the look with a little half tuck and the prettiest gold necklace from Gorjana.
