Cozy Casual

by Jessica Sturdy on December 13, 2012

I had always heard good things about T by Alexander Wang tees, but had never wanted to splurge and pay $85 on a basic tee. But it was marked down to $36 on The Outnet so I pulled the trigger! And OMG — I am OBSESSED.

When I opened up the package and put this shirt on, it was like I’d found “the one.” I have very high expectations when it comes to this kind of thing. I mean, we’re going to be spending a lot of time together. I don’t want to have to toss this one to the curb and start the hunt of finding my perfect fit anytime in the near future, ya know?

This tee is the softest, most comfy tee I own. It is the PERFECT amount of slouchy-ness without looking too baggy. It keeps it’s shape all day long and then some. The sleeves are the perfect length, as I like mine a little bit on the longer side. Overall, the shirt is a bit longer, but again, it’s perfect for that slouchy-on-purpose look. And the arms are perfect… not too tight, not too loose. (I ordered a medium, FYI.)

Now if only I could find this type of perfection in a man…

Sequins, Plaid, and (Faux) Fur

by Jessica Sturdy on December 12, 2012

When The Limited asked me to style a look to wear to a family holiday party with one of their sequin tees, I obviously obliged! Me + Sequins + Holiday Get-Togethers = No Brainer. Like I mentioned a few weeks ago, casual holiday parties with food require J.Crew Pixie Pants. (It’s that whole elastic waistband thing… Remember this post?) This sequin tee (comes in six colors!) can obviously be dressed up, but my family holiday gatherings tend to be more on the casual side. I mean, I grew up in rural Illinois. What do you expect?

Casual doesn’t have to lack style though! I decided to go for a double-tartan, layered look. I paired the sequin tee with a plaid button-front shirt, a faux fur vest, and a plaid scarf. Lots of luxe layers (faux fur & sequins) make a casual look feel a bit more glam, no?

Head to The Limited’s Facebook Page and check out my look!

Encore Excitement!

by Jessica Sturdy on December 7, 2012

Hey there! Happy Friday!

I’m jetting off to Atlanta today to test drive the Buick Encore! This has been such an amazing experience. From touring the Buick Design Center in Detriot, to drawing up my very own idea of the Encore, I can’t wait for this next step in the Pinboard to Dashboard program!

As I mentioned before, we started off with 10 bloggers in Detriot. It was then narrowed down to 5 finalists to go to Atlanta, and the winner will be announced this weekend! The winner will actually get to see their Encore come to life at the New York Auto Show in March!! Here’s to hoping there will be a Jewel Tone Encore in the near future… Wish me luck! ;)

Be sure to follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook for real-time photos and updates this weekend!

Anna Karenina

by Jessica Sturdy on December 5, 2012

When my friend, Rose, saw this outfit, she said, “You look very Anna Karenina.” Mission accomplished.

Banana Republic sent me this faux fur scarf from the Anna Karenina Collection to style. It’s so cozy and chic. The quality is excellent, as well! There are so many ways to wear this type of snood/scarf/stole… I’m excited to add it on to my outfits this winter for some extra glam and texture!

Party Peplum

by Jessica Sturdy on December 4, 2012

Did you know that Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen designed a line exclusively for JCPenney? They sure did! The line is called Olsenboye. When I received this fun velvet peplum top in the mail, I knew it would be perfect for a holiday party outfit! Since it’s Sequin Season, I paired the black velvet peplum top with a gold sequin skirt and some sky-high pumps!
