Smitten Life

 If you see me in the next 6 months I will be most likely be wearing this ultra snuggly sweater/coat. It feels like the softest blanket in the whole world and I can wear it outside the house!! This is what I previously broke my ban for and I regret nothing as I've worn this so many times already. If I could have everything in my wardrobe feel like this I would be the happiest of campers.
 Another wardrobe MVP is this turtleneck I got from Miss Boss, it's also super soft and cozy. It's a very good layering piece and I end up going to it all the time! It goes with everything, another smart purchase. Smart purchases are the only kind I want to make from now on.

Sharing a remix here of this amazing Teddy Coat from Maccs the label  that I bought at Miss Boss last fall (they got it back in stock in pink and black this year!). I've worn this baby countless other times than I'm showing here and it's a reminder to me that I can remix my wardrobe in many many ways.
Which leads me to:
I have have decided to try another shopping hiatus. Now I've picked a very very tough time to do that, I am being bombarded with "black friday sale" emails and everyone getting in the holiday mood by shopping nonstop all the time. I started this second hiatus at the very end of October and for sure just broke it this weekend. BAD JENNA. I found an incredibly soft sweater and after dreaming about it for five days I couldn't help myself. I find even just putting it out there that I'm doing this I'm way more likely to stay on course.

The only exception with the ban this time is I'm buying a dress for my brothers wedding during this month just in case I can find a sale and also there's way more selection this time of year for formal dresses. SO here I am vowing to the internet that I am not going to spend another dime on clothing for myself until January 15th. It was supposed to be the 1st but since I had this slip up, I just earned another 2 weeks of shopping ban.

 I spent a lot of time looking for the perfect plain black turtleneck like this one for a bit. This one is perfect, it's so soft and cozy and it's actually a body suit. I think I'll get a lot of use out of this piece! Jeans, skirts, and layered under big cozy sweaters. Although I don't think I'm ready for this nice warm weather to end, it's been gorgeous this October!

 I saw a lovely lady I've been following since the beginning of blogging history (maybe not that long) wearing a striped long sleeve under a slip dress and knew I had to recreate it. The gorgeous Terra of Love Nothing More has always been a style maven, I tip my hat to her in this outfit. I of course had to add my own twist with the pop of colour.
 I know it doesn't shock me anymore but it seems to shock everyone else, but yes we still have snow and frigid temperatures here in Edmonton. It's Spring everywhere else, but we're always fashionably late to the party. However I am in full spring fever, seeing as I leave to Mexico this week I will get to enjoy the warmth way before I would normally.
