Leather and Faux Fur on Repeat

With the weather being so cold this week, I've been reaching for the same items over and over again.  While this would have been the perfect opportunity to do a 30x30 challenge, it never even occurred to me until I was editing these photos and I realized I've worn every piece, except my necklace and scarf, at least once in the last two weeks of posts! I once heard a blogger say that those 30x30 Remix challenges are what everyone else calls getting dressed in the morning and I think they may be on to something.  I've never succeeded at those remix challenges because I can't think under pressure, but when going about my daily activities I naturally gravitate to just a few core pieces in my closet.

Cashmere: Halogen; Faux Fur: BR (dupe); Scarf: Gift from a friend last year; Leather Leggings: c/o Paige

Earrings: Blue Nile (on sale under $65); Monogram Necklace: c/o Jane Basch Jewelry 

Tote: Calvin Klein (very old) (current); Boots: Ugg on sale

I wore this out to brunch with some friends yesterday.  We went to Max's Wine Dive and it was wonderful!  They sat us out on the patio, but it was great because it is enclosed and they have heaters.  In fact, once there, I took off my scarf and vest, but it was great to have warm leather pants.  Also, I bought my cashmere sweater on Facebook, but Kelly over at Alterations Needed recently posted one that I think is identical and said that Nordstrom now carries it in petites sizing as well.

Happy Monday!
