Holiday Hearts

   It is officially finals week! As a college student, this is probably the most stressful time of the year- so close to the finish line (hooray for winter break) but so far! Since I've been studying the entire week (and pulling all nighters) I wanted to take Friday night off and attend my company's holiday party over at Dear Mom's in the Mission!
     Though this isn't exactly a traditional festive look, I associate this sweater with this beautiful time of the year. Just the overall texture and shape of it is so cozy and inviting. Printed sweaters are always fun to play around with, this one from J. Crew is a quarter sleeve crew neck that goes great with colored denim for a casual look or can be dressed up with a cute mini skirt! I got this skirt for just $4 from H&M when they had a sale and I love how versatile this has become- it's definitely a great closet essential to have on hand. I kept this look really simple (no accessories) because of the busy heart sweater and completed the outfit with this chunky, cut-out heel from Charlotte Russe with buckle & lace-up detailing on it.

Oh, I got my toes done today! Sometimes a girl just has to pamper herself ;)

  

Errands with my Pepper Sweater

     On this rare Saturday off (post midterm) I finally got to run my errands. Of course, when it comes to errand running, I must stay comfortable; usually a hoodie and some leggings would suffice or some stretchy denim and a sweater. In the case of today, I regret not wearing my hoodie. Regardless, this is what I wore to run my errands this freezing San Francisco day.
     I am a huge fan of anything that is pepper patterned- this one is a bit special though. It is not your typical black and white pattern, but this sweater from Macy's is a black and silver knit. This piece is also a very straightforward high-low and I liked that it's a more loose and boxy piece- perfect for a comfortable, lazy day. Usually, I would default to black pants (you can never go wrong with those) but I wanted to take these babies out for a spin this winter day. These Bullhead jeggings from Pacsun look like real pants- back pockets included! I love how clean they look and the torn up knee detail really makes them less formal and a bit grungy. To complete the look, I slipped on these favorite booties from Charlotte Russe :) 

Here's the look:
