Today's Everyday Fashion: Blogger Dinner































I had the pleasure of dining with some lovely Orlando bloggers last night to talk social media, blog hosting and comment moderation (that might sound a bit boring but it was a blast!). It was really cold, so I dressed accordingly. I have been obsessed with this Cat Deeley look forever and while my jacket is navy, not green, I decided to copy her look anyway. I threw on my faux fur collar from H&M for extra warmth and off I went!

Styling tip: If you own a fur collar such as this one, you can easily turn it into a scarf. I simply used a large safety pin to attach the two ends together. When I arrived at the restaurant, I removed it by just slipping it over my head. Easy peasy!

Occasion: Blogger dinner

Navy jacket: LOFT, $50
Belt: Forever 21, $8
Black jeans: Gap, $35
Boots: Cynthia Rowley/TJ Maxx, $85
Faux fur collar: H&M, $15
Watch: Michael Kors (Christmas present)

ps. There is some slight variation in the photos because I took the right one on my way out the door. I couldn't find a black t-shirt and I was in a hurry, so I had to go with a gray one. Life happens. :-)

  1. I am not a fan of fur collars, but aside from that I like your look better than hers. Love your jacket!

  5. how do you like the fit of the Gap skinny leg jeans? Do they (for lack of a better word) gap at the back? I hate that. I've yet to find a pair of jeans that fit everywhere. If they fit in the legs (I'm a curvy size 6), they don't fit in the waist and vice versa. Any thoughts? I use the 'instant-button' which was life changing... but I want a pair of jeans that FIT!

  7. I have to ask, do you know the model of you MK watch? I have been going back and forth for a while now between the MK5055 and MK8077. I have been leaning towards the MK8077 for the statement...yours looks great in the photos!

  8. Laura, I had the same debate. The MK5055 felt too small, so I went for the MK8077! :-)

  9. Briana, I always say that a girl has a brand that really works for her body and for me, that's the Gap. I've never had a gap problem in the back, but I also have a really flat butt so I'm prob not the best person to give that advice. :-)

  10. With your faux fur collar do you ever find your hair annoying when you wear it down? What is your rule on that? I have the same length hair as you and when i wear outfits with a high/large collar or sweaters with a wide bunched up collar my hair always gets in the way. I'll turn my head and the hair will get caught in the collar and I end up smoothing out my hair all day.

  11. Jess, totally know what you mean! Luckily, the fur is really smooth so my hair doesn't get caught per se, but it does feel a bit like I'm a lion with all that fur. :-)

  14. Leena, check out my video on how to belt a cardigan without punching a new hole. I actually demonstrate with this exact belt with no new holes! :-)
