Plaid, Fur, and a Giveaway!

January 2, 2015

Happy New Year! I’m excited 2015 is here. So far this year will be bringing us many changes. We’ve just started our remodel, I’m traveling out of the country next week, and who knows what else is going to happen!

How to Wear a Fur Vest / Petite Flannel Plaid and Fur Vest Outfit / hellorigby!

They say the way you spend your New Year’s is the way you’re going to spend the rest of the year. We played it low-key and went over to Dave’s Aunt’s house to eat fried chicken from Ezell’s and celebrate with family. I mean, if eating good food and being entertained by a 2-year-old is how I’ll spend my year, I guess I’ll take it. ;)

How to Wear a Fur Vest / Plaid Shirt, Fur Vest, Skinny Jeans, and Booties Outfit / hellorigby!

What I’m not looking forward to, however, is going back to work. Today is my first day back at work since December 23rd, and I’ve enjoyed the time off. The good news? I don’t have to phsycially leave my house (work from home, woohoo!) but that doesn’t mean I’ll be enjoying it. And the fact that I didn’t quite get everything done that I wanted to on my break will continue to haunt me. It’s always a bummer when you don’t quite make your own goals. Oh well, such is life.

How to Wear a Fur Vest / Plaid Shirt and Fur Vest Outfit / hellorigby!

You may recognize this fur vest from last week’s post. I’m basically obsessed with it, and wore it again on Christmas Eve. I liked the outfit so much that I thought I’d share it. I know some struggle with how to wear a fur vest, so you may see it again soon. And the fact that it’s super warm and it’s been in the 20s? Yeah, I’ll probably be wearing it every other day. #SorryNotSorry

What I’m Wearing
Shirt: Olive & Oak
Vest: Vintage, thrifted (last worn)
Jeans: LC Lauren Conrad
Booties: Frye, thrifted (similar)
Necklace: BaubleBar
Ring: Forever 21

Win the Sephora Favorites Superstars 2014 Giveaway / hellorigby!

    That plaid shirt is so pretty, you can’t go wrong with a good plaid shirt.
    I rang in the New Year in bed watching TV, and complaining about what felt like a million people near me finding fireworks fun. Seriously, the first few are fun but after 20 minutes it gets old.

      Thanks Rosie! Haha, I know what you mean about the fireworks. Neighbors near where we were celebrating were doing the same thing!

    All of it! But especially that Chloe perfume. It would just be fun to try new products outside of my “tried and true” ones I alllways buy. Maybe I’ll discover something new :)

    I’m such a lame-o, I slept through it! I made it until around 11pm but I fell asleep before the ball dropped. lol! I would actually love to try everything in that gift set! lol! If I had to pick one thing I would say, the surf spray! I’m always looking to try out something new on my hair because it doesn’t really do much. haha!

      Haha, I totally could have fallen asleep before midnight, but there was enough noise from the kids that I probably would have woke up again! ;) Good luck, Julie!

      Ha, I don’t think it’s really true. I spent New Year’s with Strep a few years ago, and it was the only time I was sick that year! ;) Hope he’s feeling better though! And thanks – work was a bummer, but makes me more excited to take a vacation next week! Good luck, B! :)

    I love this vest and the Forever 21 ring! I’m stuck at work today too. :( The bright side is it seems like everyone else took off, so I have a slow day. Safe travels!

    You look great!!

    I also hate when you don’t get everything accomplished over a break that you had hoped for. But it tends to happen so don’t beat yourself up about it. Good luck with work today! (Although working from home is sometimes harder than going to the office, I find!)

      Thanks Kathryn!

      Ha, yeah, it’s definitely an interesting battle working from home. I often find myself trying to get chores done when I should be working. Oops!

    It would be between the Porefessional, the Nars blush and the Stila eyeliner. This is a wonderful giveaway. When I first saw it I started to buy it but decided against it. I just hated to spend the money on myself until after I had bought for my daughters and others then of course it was sold out. Thanks so much for the great opportunity.

      And as for ringing in the New Year, I spent a quiet evening at home and enjoyed it. I love your top and vest-so stylish. Thanks again.

      Hi Marta! Yes, it is open internationally. If its cost prohibitive to ship to your country (this set contains liquids), I’ll provide a gift card instead. :)

    I love the fur vest, so keep the outfits coming!

    I would love to try Benefit’s They’re Real Mascara! It’s been on my wishlist for so long!

    I love the plaid/fur look that’s popular right now. I just wish I could find me a faux fur vest that was form fitting! I’ve struck out multiple times now! Luck has gotta be on my side soon.

      I know what you mean – I had a hard time too. I liked this vintage one because the fur is so much shorter than most of the ones I’ve tried on, which helps it not look too crazy bulky, and it’s cropped a bit which works better for me since I’m short. Hope you find the perfect one soon!

    I really love your outfit! It’s so comfy and cute. I would be most excited to try the mascara because I’ve been looking at it, but never buying it for a long time!
