Wear and Repeat

Cardigan: Banana Republic (confession, I've had this cardi for 4 years and this is my first time wearing it)
Dress: Urban Outfitters.
Tights: Forever21
Shoes: Aldo
Bag: Spotted Moth

  

Am I the only person who repeats which bag I use? Sure I mix it up for the occasional clutch but when it comes to my every day huge bags I don't switch it up daily (or even weekly).

Usually I find a new bag I love and I wear it every single day until it has collected so much stuff that it's too heavy to carry. That's when I know it's time to switch to a new bag. One that is empty, light and won't result in a visit to the Chiropractor.

Today's outfit has been brought to you by my huge breakfast of home made crepes. I stuffed my face this morning and really didn't feel like wearing jeans when Mike and I went out shopping. Turns out I made the right decision because we then continued to have a huge pizza lunch. I'm going to regret this later I tell ya.

Oh, and I had ever intention of being a champion and wearing heels around the city today (these are my 'comfy heels') but even with these thick leggings on my legs couldn't handle the freezing cold breeze. So I put on my black boots and a leather jacket and a scarf and some gloves.

PS. Are you done all your Christmas Shopping? Only one week until Christmas? No freaking way! Woot Woot!

  5. I use the same purse for months at a time. I only recently learned that changing your purse day to day was a thing.

  6. You look so cute - can't believe that cardigan hasn't come out in four years! And I carry my bags for not just months, but years at a time! It's a bit ridiculous, but I fall in love and can't bear to part with them.

  7. I don't switch purses very often either. I carry so much stuff it's a huge hassle and I always end up forgetting something important like my bus pass when I do.

    I also wore heels yesterday... up Grouse Mountain (bf took me there for dinner). Now THAT was cold!

  8. Melissa I wish we were r/l friends, I think you're sweet as pie. I need to pop into Aldo more often I think. You get a lot of great shoes there.
