Pinned

If I wore every outfit I pinned, I'd have really fabulous mom jeans, probably live in Stockholm, and magically look put together riding my fixie bike around all day. But the reality is (like most things on Pinterest) I very rarely recreate my style inspiration boards in real life. Except when Kate Bosworth makes '90s flannel look cool again...then I'll reconsider.

You know I love me some plaid button-ups, but sometimes I'm just not in the mood to look too preppy. On these occasions, I turn to my faux leather jacket and destroyed denim to add a little "edge" (I use this term very loosely) to my outfits. I love how simple pieces like this can completely change the vibe of an outfit.

In other news, I've been sick all week and kind of fallen off the social map. I've somehow managed to go like 6 months without any serious illness, so this was bound to happen eventually. Got some big plans with chicken noodle soup and Hulu reruns tonight!

Homebody

Get the look:

If I'm going to be completely honest, I only ventured out of my house a few times over Thanksgiving break...mainly to shop and eat. (Oh, and that one time I felt like exercising.) That's the funny thing about holiday breaks back home. The longer I've been in college, the more LA feels like home to me, rather than my actual hometown. While it will of course always be home, it's just not quite the same anymore. Everything feels a little different, and my chances of running into people I know has dramatically decreased (thank goodness—sorry the introvert in me needed to say it).

I wore this outfit on a quick shopping trip I took with my mom. I snagged this plaid shirt on sale at J.Crew on Black Friday and decided to pair it with my new destroyed jeans for a simple, casual look. I've found myself reaching for button-down shirts a ton lately, so I'm sure I'll be wearing this combo (or one just like it) a lot more this season.

P.S. Happy December! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go eat a chocolate (or 10) from my TJ's Advent calendar—AKA the best part of December.
