Who doesn't love a hat on a bad hair day or just when you're feeling like something a little different?! These Fedora Style Hats are perfect for either of those occasions, and more. I LOVE the different colors that they come in…. Black, Mustard, Olive, Rust, Tan, and Teal. You'll be able to find the perfect color for you. 
You can find them at Brickyard Buffalo for only $12.99. This is a savings of 47.9% from $24.95 and a deal you surely can't pass up, but don't worry, you still have a little over 3 days before the deal is done.

I love everything about Jessica Alba! She's just downright gorgeous and always sports the best outfits. So when choosing this outfit of hers, I thought about all this lovely winter weather going on throughout the U.S. and felt it only appropriate to do a fab look that you can wear out in the cold. Don't forget the red lipstick to complete the look!

So.....Bundle Up!

The reason I am sporting this hat is not because I'm headed out to the ski lodge for a little fun day. It's hat day at school and I decided that was the one I was going to sport, and as I was looking in the mirror this morning I thought, "this would be the perfect outfit to sit in the ski lodge, relaxing with a cup of hot cocoa or cider, and sitting by the fire." I'm not much of a skier, so that's probably exactly what I would be doing. In addition, I needed to wear something "Christmasy", since it is the last day of school before break, so I thought a red sweater would do the trick.

Tip of the Day: If you're planning on wearing a hat all day, put it on before you do your makeup so you can do just the parts that aren't covered by your hat. Why you say? 1) You'll be using less makeup. 2) Your makeup won't rub off and have it just be a complete waste of time putting it on your forehead. 3) You won't get makeup all over your hat.

I absolutely love my friend Michelle for buying me this new hat (from Loft) that I had previously posted on my blog. It is so warm and comfy. I couldn't ask for a better hat or friend.

You can find the link for the hat on my blog post from 12/12/13 - Baby, It's Cold Outside!!!

Here's my friend, Jenna, and I at PacSun, years ago, wearing the coat I actually bought that day and still currently own and wear. I've gotten TONS of compliments on it over the years.
Since I'm fortunate enough to live in the Midwest and who doesn't love experiencing negative degree temperatures, like I have the past week, I thought it was an appropriate time to talk about outwear. Whether you're in the need for something warmer or you're just looking to get a new look, I've pulled together some cute items that you can find right now. You don't have to sacrifice being warm to look trendy and cute.

The staple items that everybody who experiences cold weather should own:
  • Warm Coat (emphasis on the WARM)
  • Hat
  • Gloves or Mittens (I prefer mittens because they keep your fingers warmer)
  • Scarf
  • Headband (You can find great ones on Etsy)
  • Boots

 
I don't know what it was about Christina Aguilera's outfit last night on The Voice, but it definitely caught my eye and I loved it! My husband even said something about liking it too.

I know that it's an out-of-the-box, adventurous outfit, but it's worth a shot to try it out. It's something different and I'm here to help you get it for cheap versus the ridiculous cost that it was probably for Christina.

Unlike Christina Aguilera, the majority of us can't wear hats to work. So, this will have to be more of a night/weekend outfit, or just wear it without the hat and put it on after work. However, the hat definitely makes the look complete.

I don't necessarily have these items or time to run out and get them, so I've searched and found them at reasonable costs and for purchase online. I put pictures in the gallery below with links to go to the items.
- Red Suspenders - Express ($20.93)
- Striped Button Up Shirt - I found shirts at Target and H&M (Places and prices are below with pictures), but I'm sure you could find something at other stores too. 
- Floppy Wool Felt Fedora - Nordstrom's ($38; comes in 4 different colors)
Since we can't see the bottom, I would pair it with.....
- Skinny Jeans or Boyfriend Jeans - I always buy my skinny jeans from Target about $25 on average and Gap has great boyfriend jeans for $69.95.
- Oxfords - Not Rated Jute Oxford Pump from DSW($42.95; I have these and they are to die for!!!), but DSW has a wide variety if you don't like these. Otherwise, you could wear a pair of beige or nude heels.
