Tomboy, Polka-Dots & Stripes #4

TPS Winter 

I am really feeling that girls style above-super classic basics (hello white collared shirt & fitted navy blazer!) paired with casual sneakers, bright red sweater and a chunky beanie.  It's what I want to wear everyday when it's a tad chilly out (So-Cal winter).  

My picks for polka-dots this week combine my love affair with beanies and Chucks.  I wear one or the other almost everyday (I have a lot of bad hair days it seems).  So two of my favs splattered with dots?  Yes please! 

Finally, the striped duffle/overnight bag is what I have been looking for in a weekend bag.  It's simple and practical, but very stylish.  It's a little out of my price range, but I am on the lookout for a bargain version.  And I think the polka-dotted Converse sneakers could be DIYed!  

Tomboy, Polka-Dots & Stripes

TPS: Layers 

I am endlessly inspired by all of the super cozy autumn/winter tomboy layers I am seeing everywhere!  Keeping it fresh, strong, classic and cool while adding just the right amount of wooly coats, chunky socks, leather boots, thick scarves and piled on cardigans.  I dig this ladies slouchy beanie, which dresses down her chic camel coat and slick boots.

I am liking my polka-dots wickedly girly lately, with sweet feminine details like the lace collar and fuzzy cashmere above.  Pair it with a motorcycle style boot and a felt hat and you are golden. 

Finally, the striped bow tie is the perfect mixture of two of my fav style elements, combining tomboy prep with those luscious pops of stripes, to make your collared button-ups dazzle on those dreary days.  This outfit is making me excited for those foggy and chilly days ahead!  Our firewood is drying out & will be ready for a sparkling fire any day now-eeeeep!
