Warm Winter Style: Americana

Happy New Year! Hello 2013!!

I’m glad to say goodbye to 2012, not because it was a bad year or anything – in fact it was a time of personal & professional growth for me; but I’m just really excited to move forward with 2013 & all its possibilities.

I’m not going to make thousands of resolutions this year, personally I’ve never been big on making resolutions.  Sure I want to exercise, eat right, read my Bible, be a good great wife & mother, but these are all things I already try to do in my daily life, so why make a resolution about it. Instead I plan on trying to be the best me I can be each and everyday. For the blog…I’d like to continue pushing myself to find my style. I’ve followed lots of trends over this past year, some were good and some I just didn’t like. I like a good fashion challenge as much as the next gal, so this winter I’m going issue a personal challenge to myself.

Personal Winter Fashion Challenge:  Warm and stylish outfits, because in winters past I frozen in the name of fashion! LOL! Hopefully I can give you a few new ideas, but maybe you will share a few of your ideas with me too! Either way we can all stay warm and stylish this winter!

That being said, I’d like to start off with a bit of Americana!

Sweater – JCP(old), Blouse & Corduroy Pants – Thrifted

These are the Anne Taylor Loft Corduroy Pants I thrifted for $8 bucks last year and I still love them.  They are just so comfortable and warm too. Every year I pull out this favorite sweater and try to wear it in new ways. It’s actually a really warm sweater so I’m always glad for the 3/4 length sleeves. Finally the polka-dot blouse just pulls it all together. Warm and stylish!

That’s all I’ve got for now. It’s back to work soon and our regular routine, I’m really looking forward to it too! LOL! Hope you holidays were merry & bright!
