Buffalo Check and Camo + DSW Shoe Hookup Coming Soon

IMG_5272

These past few Thanksgiving day holidays were super low key for us. We didn’t have any family in town and really just spent it the 3 of us. We went to a Thanksgiving buffet and cooked some staple Thanksgiving foods of our own, we did A LOT of Black Friday shopping, we watched the Michigan – Ohio State game (me and the husband went to the respective schools, it was a darn good fight by Michigan even though we lost), we put up our Christmas tree and sang and dance to Christmas songs. Oh and I finally got my first caramel brulee latte from Starbucks and it was amazing.

But before I get carried away with Christmas, I’m loving the mini heat wave (of 50 degrees) we got this past weekend.  This outfit was just perfect for wearing without a coat. I love the look of buffalo check and camo mixed together… and I also quite like pink and burgundy colors together as well, so decided to mix it all up in to one outfit!

    I never would have thought to pair the checkers and camo, but it works real well under the cardigan, cute look!

    Oh Man, I i love this outfit! Favorite element? Those shoes. Very unexpected yet perfect!

    It is awesome how you manage to mix so many elements in one outfit and not make it overwhelming! It’s such a fine balance in my opinion and you do it so well!
