flash back friday | favorite winter outfits

 

Happiest Friday, friends! As we near Christmas (officially one week away, but who’s counting) I thought I’d pull together a few of my favorite looks from this fall and winter! Many of the star items from these looks are on mega sale, and would make for perfect last-minute Christmas gifts. Plus, it’s always fun to take a look back through the past few months! I would love to hear which outfits are your favorite, so take a look at the assortment I’ve rounded up below!

I hope everyone has a fun weekend ahead planned! I am jittery with excitement, because I’m headed to Austin for my darling friend Becca’s wedding! I’d happily add in ten more exclamation marks to the end of that sentence, but I don’t want to freak anyone out. She and her fiance, Blake, are the cutest high school sweethearts you’ve ever seen. After four years of getting to know them at college (Becca was a KKG at the University of Texas with me) all of her friends and I are so excited to finally see them tie the knot! Congrats, you two!

(In honor of #flashbackfriday, I had to share this photo of us from freshman year… Becca, doesn’t this feel like yesterday?!)

  7. They were all so fun! I loved the white skirt and slouchy grey sweater, but maybe it’s because I miss those warmer days!
