Blanket Statement

Sweater: H&M

Leggings: Target

Scarf: ASOS 

Boots: Alloy (old)

Sunnies: Karen Walker

Bag: Louis Vuitton

I've been trying to get my hands on the perfect massive blanket scarf for weeks and I finally found my neck warming soulmate. This beauty came from ASOS after I spotted it on several fashionistas' blogs and Instas.

On my third unnecessary shopping trip last week, I scooped up this olive sweater and can't wait to style it all winter. Olive and merlot are the two colors I can't stop gravitating toward this season.

These knee highs are quite old and from my favorite secret shoe shopping spot - Alloy. Will need to do some shopping for some more tall boots as winter comes to stay so any feedback would be appreciated!

For now, I'll get back to cocooning myself inside this scarf. I think it's permanently attached to my body now.

I wanted to experiment with this post combining everyday fall patterns with a few dressier details in a way that I normally wouldn't.

On top, I'm wearing one of my favorite purchases of the season so far -- this buffalo print vest. Scored this from TJ Maxx and while I can't find the exact version online, TJ Maxx has another one that's very similar. Also, this cute flannel was a TJ's find as well. I wanted to play around with combining these two patterns that I find myself wearing non stop through the fall also -- normally, I would wear them separately.

On the bottom I've got my favorite skater skirt accented with black tights to transition into a cooler season paired with my favorite gold toe pumps. A neutral bag with a solid shape really ties the look together.

Finally, I'm loving my new Spike bracelet from Bibjewelry -- especially since it was only $6 (SIX DOLLARS!!!)

What do you think of the combination? Love it or lose it?
