Must Have Cargo Vest

SCORE 15% OFF WITH MY CODE: lexwhatwear

I recently picked up this must have cargo vest from one of my favorite online stores, Mason Jar Boutique. Utility vests like this one are absolutely needed this time of year. I especially love the hood detail and the body of this vest is lined with faux fur. It’s such a cozy, versatile and warm piece.

The fit of this cargo vest is relaxed, so you can easily wear this piece open or zipped closed. The drawstring waste is another key function of this vest. You can wear this look more fitted or more oversized, depending on your preference. I could see myself styling this vest for athleisure wear or for casual Friday at work, with jeans and boots.

Coming in three beautiful colors, this vest is the perfect for all winter long. Today’s look will be on repeat when colder temperatures arrive. I’m still secretly hoping they won’t. Be sure to enjoy 15% OFF with my code lexwhatwear. Mason Jar Boutique has so many CUTE new arrivals.

My Go To Sweater

SWEATER | DENIM | SNEAKERS

Pullover sweaters are an easy style for me, because they don’t take much effort in the mornings while I’m getting dressed.. This colorblock and striped sweater is absolutely my go-to this season for a few reasons. 1) it’s absolutely adorable 2) it’s cozy 3) it pairs with jeans, tucked in a skirt, or black pants super easily 3) it’s affordable.

I’ve seen several similar style sweaters this season, but I could NOT pass this beauty up. For just $19 it made perfect sense for my wardrobe. Considering my current style, I paired this sweater with black jeans, and sneakers for the weekend. Yesterday I wore it to work with dark denim, and my reebok sneakers (again). Soon I’ll style it with a midi skirt, a beanie, and my flat combat boots. I’ll be sure to share the look with y’all.

Until then, my go-to sweater is going to be making several appearances on my Instagram. Make sure you are following along @lexwhatwear. Plus get 15% OFF HERE with my code: alex315

How To Style A Shaggy Cardigan

SHAGGY CARDIGAN | TUNIC | LEGGINGS | BOOTIES

I’ve seen so many shaggy cardigans like this one lately, that I had to try one for myself. The BIG question I had though, was HOW DO I STYLE A SHAGGY CARDIGAN? I couldn’t quite pinpoint what I’d pair with a shaggy cardigan to pull off the look. When I got this piece in the mail, I instantly went with my instincts, and styled it the only way I know how… all black.

You see, when you’re ever in doubt, black will never steer you wrong. This shaggy cardigan commands so much attention, I thought my only smart choice was a black tunic blouse, and a pair of black leggings. I won’t lie, I was unsure of how this was going to photograph. All of my insecurities were a wash when I started looking at the photos Evan took. I was in LOVE with how I styled this shaggy cardigan.

Topped off with a sleek pair of white booties, this look is fun, slightly retro, and all things fabulous in my opinion. It will most definitely be worn again, and very soon at that.

What to wear to brunch?

I ask myself this question every time I have a brunch scheduled. What do I wear to brunch? Let’s be real, not everyone goes to brunch to take cute photos and influence the rest of the world on where to eat. Sometimes, we just get up and get dressed and want Saturday brunch with our friends or family. That’s a typical feeling in our house. I rarely get fancy for brunch, unless I’ve got a very good reason, or somewhere else to be. 

So today I thought I’d share what I’m really wearing to weekend brunch, and just how casual I keep things. Don’t overthink your brunch outfit, although Instagram might tell you otherwise. Athleisure looks are totally acceptable in my book, and so are sweaters with leggings and a cute sneaker. I think you guys can easily replicate this look or take pieces from this look to add to  your own personal style. That’s what I think influencers should be today. Sharing something real that people will ACTUALLY replicate or use to create in their own way for their own daily life.

We all lead very different lifestyles. We don’t all need to be the same, look the same, etc. I never call myself an “influencer”, but I will say, that when I think I’m trying to influence people, I like to keep it authentic. This look is authentically me.
