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.
Bloggers: what are your goals? Come share them with us on Twitter; tag your goals with #tbcgoals and join in on the convo.

Sort of random but you have such a sweet, pretty smile! I love those pants! I don’t have any black pants. Blue, white, pink, green….but no black. I know, what’s wrong with me? haha
LOVE this sweater – looks so chic on you and even more importantly WARM! Love it lady – have a great weekend!
Those shoes are very futuristic looking. I’m not a fan of flatforms but those look reasonable. Also, I just want to pet you in that sweater hehe
I’m tired of sweaters and jeans too, but I love your look! Fun sweater!

Staying warm is my no. 1 priority right now for sure too! It is freezing outside and so my fashion choices have taken a hit. Not to mention my beauty routine. Just trying to keep my skin from chapping, LOL.
xo, Amanda
I mean you look ridiculously cool between those awesome shoes (that I so wish I could pull off) and moto-esque jeans! Happy Friday Ashley! Stay warm.

That sweater is adorbs and I am actually surprised that I really dig those shoes – they totally work on you! Totally get where you are coming from when the temps start to drop – it’s hard not to get in a rut of just wearing sweaters and jeans over and over and over. Love how you jazzed this look up!

I have yet to get the courage up to wear a sweater with skinny jeans or leggings or anything (I’m self conscious about my hips), but it’s a great pairing on you!
I have yet to get the courage to pair a sweater with leggings or skinny jeans (I’m self-conscious about my hips), but they are a great combo on you! Texture definitely shifts things up a bit.
That sweater is so pretty, great look:)
You make those flatforms look good! Love this outfit!
I have a couple of eyelash sweaters and they are so fun and yours is no exception. Those shoes are just too fun!
