Today was so cold I couldn't think of wearing anything other than a sweatshirt. The temperature is dropping at warp speed and a little southern snow is on it's way! Tonight we're supposed to get 3-6 inches. Do you wanna know what that means here in good ol' Charlotte, NC? School gets cancelled, the roads get copiously covered in salt, the sleds get pulled out and the hot chocolate starts boiling. We like to go all out, even when it's just a little layer of frosting.

This morning I met one of my good friends at Whole Foods for smoothies. Torre and I have become closer and closer over the last two years and I'm so happy that she's back home for the time being!

She's crazy talented in photography, textile design, fashion sketching, poetry, writing... you name an "artsy" quality and this girl has it! I've always admired her unique style and creativity. She never seems afraid to be herself, and that's an amazing trait to possess. Today she took some quick blog pictures of me in my super casual ensemble while we enjoyed our food and tried not to freeze.

You can follow her on Instagram, here! She's gonna go far, you guys, I'm sure of it.

Anywho, today I wasn't feeling that great so I just made some coffee, stayed in my pajamas for a little too long, caught up on Food Network, read my favorite blogs and ran a couple errands. Oh the life of the unemployed!

Since my day to day routine isn't anything extravagant, I usually don't get too dolled up. I'm sure you've noticed that I'm not an uber "girly girl." I don't wear skirts and dresses just because I can. Don't get me wrong, I love them and I think they look super hot and adorable, but I would much rather save them for a fancy occasion or a date night. I tend to stick with pants and shorts as my go-to! Comfort is key. Many people say that you have to choose between fashion and feeling comfortable, but I definitely think there can be a solid mix of both! Here's how I mixed some style with a look of relaxation, muted makeup and some sparklin' kicks...
