How We Wore It - Holiday Plaid

It's the most wonderful time of the year! 

Which means its the most wonderful time of year for FASHION! 

This months How We Wore It inspiration comes from the darling Shanna.

Shanna narrates her adorable life and fashion pieces over at Because Shanna Said So and since this lady is a mama to two and rumor has it she's a "two Diet Dr. Pepper a day" kinda lady, I basically think we should be best friends! 

Shanna looks awesome in this look.  I loved the bundled/layer look with the scarf and sweater!  The red plaid scarf gives it the perfect holiday winter look and those booties are ON POINT.

Here's my take on it:  I have a dozen scarves in my closet, including a plaid red one that would have been perfect for this post, however, i'll be honest, I am NOT A SCARF wearer. (As you could probably tell from my last HWWI post)  I could never figure out how to style a scarf to look good and my neck always itches!  So, this month I decided to be inspired by Shanna's scarf colors and style my own look.  I knew I wanted to incorporate the plaid since it is one of my favorite looks for winter. I chose to layer a red plaid shirt over a simple casual dress and the look turned out awesome. It's definitely a more casual style than Shanna's and I kinda of loved how it looked a little punk rock, which is totally not me!  I thought this beautiful necklace added to the layered theme and I kept the casual feel with a pair of black slip ons.

What do you think of this months look? Be sure to check out some of my favorite ladies for their take on this look also.

I {heart} December.

And this tiny human being growing inside of me.

I hope she enjoys pink and hearts and all things girly like me.

I need a mini me! 

(Of course if she likes blue and skulls that will be OK to)

Here is my maternity look from our Temple Square night out.

I finally bought some MATERNITY SKINNY Jeans.

I LOVE them.

It was a NEED since its officially boot (almost snow boot) weather and all of my other maternity pants were not skinny.

I recently discovered that Ross has a maternity section.

(thanks Aunt Patty & Jessica)

Of course it's a small, two racks section and you gotta be lucky to find something good, but my AF Ross had some great picks last week when I went.

Spent $30 and got a pair of skinnies, maternity leggings and a shirt! 

Score!! 

And yes I only have one brown beanie and one pair of brown boots.

I promise you will see them BOTH often this season.

Tuesday Tot.

It's Winter here in UTAH.

When the weather drops below 50 degrees it's officially WINTER 

(according to Kyla Law)

I have discovered that I have NO warm winter clothes for my sweet baby.

He is going to FREEZE.

I'm a terrible mother.

Boo.

Luckily the hubby has agreed to some Hunter shopping this weekend to get our little man bundled up for the season. 

Thank goodness the Traverse Mountain Outlets open this week. 

So many new stores. WooHoo.

Browsed around the web today and found a few lovely things I hope get our little guy.

Enjoy a Sneak Peak at Hunters new winter wardrobe. 

Any winter fashions you MUST HAVE for your little ones?
