Sweater and jeans, sweater and jeans, rinse and repeat. You gotta stay warm, but man if that doesn’t get a little boring.
How I cope: interesting textures + maybe-crazy shoes. This JOA eyelash sweater has a cool black and white print, and is soooo soft. Cozy and cute, so I was game. A little toughness in the form of a pair of second-skin coated jeans from Madewell (score these puppies for under $50 right now!), and then the absolute weirdest shoes from ASOS. Flatforms, seriously? Never though I would get on board, but I love the all-white leather + metallic pointed cap toe. I’m like Judy Jetson or something.
Shop the look:
We’ve been talking about goal-setting over on The Blogger Collective. A new calendar year is the perfect time to set some blog-related goals (in addition to those tried-and-true resolutions of eating better + exercising more + procrastinating less), so for 2015 I plan on:
- Expanding my beauty coverage here on LSR. I launched The Vanity in 2014 where I cover beauty products I’m loving, but I want to make this column more of a regular feature + dig a little deeper into the beauty arena. I often get comments/emails from you guys on my hair + makeup, so if there’s something you want to know about and/or see on LSR, let me know!
- Devoting more effort on Pinterest. I’m all about Twitter and Instagram, but lately I’ve been feeling like I should spend more time on my Pinterest boards. They need some love in the form of updating + organization.
- Getting more comfy with my camera. My good pal Brina from giggleCHAMP takes the photos you see here, but I’m not nearly as adept when on my own. Need to up my game this year.
- Updating my media kit. It needs a bit of a freshening up anyway, and I’d like to take the opportunity to make it more creative while still being easy to follow + informative for potential partners.

You look so comfy and SO flipping cute! I mean, I’m not surprised since you’re my blogger wife and all, but seriously…
In other new, I miss you – come to Chicago soon? I’m going to try to make it back up for GBS, so we obviously have to get into lots of shennanigans together ๐ xx
Totally love this kind of comfy, casual yet stylish outfit!
Love absolutely every single piece <3
See you Ashley xx
Love the jeans! They look pretty awesome and the fact they are on sale is a double score!
http://www.dressed2dnines.com
Yes! An awesome pair of jeans totally spices things up, as well as your fliuffy sweater and paneled jeans. I’m actually obsessed with the jeans, but I know that if I tried them on the panels at the knees would end up on my shins #shortpeoplestruggles. But they look super chic on you ๐

whoops I meant an awesome pair of shoes not jeans. Although jeans works too

I am crushing over your sweater girl! And those flats are amazing! xoxo
OMG this outfit is on point. The sweater, the shoes, everything. I really like how you don’t over-dress and over-accessorize.
Very cute sweater and your shoes are so fab!
Beautetude
Look at those killer shoes girl! You definitely know how to make jeans and sweaters anything but boring!
Hmmm when you say flatforms, I’m like, no way man, but those babies on your feet, I can actually dig. Gotta be the pointed tip though that is selling it to me, it makes them a bit more unique and less alien-like like the other kind out there. Nothing wrong with those though, they just don’t suit my aesthetic.
