I have constantly been going back to this outfit recently, probably because it is simple to put together and comfy yet still looks like I put effort into my outfit. Light layering has become my go to look recently with the spring-like weather.

Also, this burgundy herringbone scarf is not only super warm but it's also less than $10! Could you honestly ask for a better deal?!

With Valentine's Day literally right around the corner it's about time to start locking down your outfit. Unfortunately, where I live it's a tad too cold for me to go prancing around in a cute pink mini dress, but this bold, red coat may be the answer to my problems.

With this season's 70s comeback, suede made it into every self proclaimed fashionista's wardrobe as well. It seemed as if everyone had picked up one of the button up suede skirts (don't get me wrong, they're super cute!), but I wanted to find a suede piece that was unique.

Ralph Lauren Olive Quilted Jacket

SHIRT: T.J. Maxx (similar HERE) | JACKET: Lauren Ralph Lauren faux leather trim quilted jacket | JEANS: Abercrombie & Fitch dark wash jean leggings | SHOES: L.L.Bean Bean boots | SOCKS: T.J. Maxx (similar HERE) | SUNGLASSES: Target clubmaster tortoise polarized sunglasses | EARRINGS: Lauren Ralph Lauren faux pearl studs | LIPS: Revlon ColorBurst matte balm "sultry"

For the days when it's not cold enough to wear a puffy coat but also not warm enough to just throw on a cardigan, I keep gravitating towards this Ralph Lauren quilted jacket I scored at T.J. Maxx. It is the perfect piece for layering as it is pretty roomy inside, and the leather detailing is absolutely beautiful. I paired it with a lightweight, casual turtleneck tee for this look, but it would also look cute paired with a cream cable knit sweater for a warmer look. You could also add a burgundy plaid scarf for a fun mix of patterns!
