Red is a color I don't usually gravitate to but then when I occasionally wear it - I love it!

I found this top on a T.J. Maxx hunt a few weeks ago and decided to give it a try - I really liked the fit and thought it was time to test out this color again. I decided to keep the look casual, paired with black pants and my over the knee boots. The cross-body bag is super functional for days of running errands when I just want to be hands free, plus it contrasts pretty nicely with the red.

I've been focusing a little more on everyday style lately -- putting an outfit together without a lot of fuss -- I think because it's been so miserable here weather-wise and wearing my fave outfits just isn't happening. I've been living in snow boots and I've had ENOUGH. Everyday it's skinny jeans, tucked into snow boots, with the warmest, thickest sweater I can find and a blanket scarf wrapped around my head -- throw on my huge Northface coat and I'm a marshmallow identical to all the other ones you see waddling through the city these days.

This look is easy, limited layers, and no hassle --- but still super cute. That bright red even reminds me that warmer weather is on (long, distant, extremely far away) way!

I will admit, and I don't think I'm alone, I often fall victim to impulse purchases at T.J. Maxx and this cozy little sweatshirt was one of them. Well, since purchasing - it has hardly left my skin. It's so comfortable and cute enough to wear out and about.

This is one of my usual weekend looks and I love any excuse to wear my leopard flats (which I scooped up for a mere $12 and my friend Jodi recently snagged for $7!!) and I love my go-to clutch to add a little color.

If you ask me, nothing gets better than clothes that are comfortable, cheap, and cost next to nothing. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to snuggling in my cozy sweatshirt…

It was so fun to shoot this look with the sun setting behind us. From where we were in Brookline you could see the sun setting over the city skyline - it was gorgeous.

Also gorgeous is this navy and white striped number I picked up from Target not too long ago. It's a perfect piece to dress up or down depending on your mood. The cinching in the waist makes it super flattering and the A-line skirt gives it a flirty feminine look.

I paired it with a gold statement necklace and pointed nude pumps to glam it up a bit - how would you style this dress?
