I kept things loose and relaxed this weekend with some languid fabrics and relaxed tailoring. This unfortunately was not by choice lol. I was in need of something with a little extra room around the waist as a result of my Christmas Eve and Christmas Day binge eating. Plus, I'm totally guilty of overindulging in pastries, chocolates, cookies, pies, and much much more. 

Luckily, I had rediscovered the beauty of drawstring pants (the ultimate quick fix for avoiding your weight gain)! They love me no matter what size I am, which is just what I need during the holiday season! Now that it's almost the new year, it's time for me to bounce back and start working out again. You know...so the rest of my clothes can love me too!!!

Anyone that knows me personally knows that one of my least favorite things has to be cold, rainy weather! When it rains, I have an extremely difficult time leaving my house if I don't have to. As weird as it may seem, I prefer to snuggle up in a big comfy blanket and eat pints and pints of ice cream to cheer me up and cancel the slight depression onset by the rain. I personally find ice cream extremely comforting so it's typically my go-to rainy day cure! 

Another thing that's made this cold, drizzly weather a little more bearable are these Ugg boots! These boots aren't just cute, but they also come with Ugg's signature sheepskin footbed AND they're convertible! These boots are actually two in one! You can wear them as I did or simply unbuckle the shaft for a short bootie. Ever since the weather has gotten cooler, I've been living in these shoes! Not only do I get the warmth and comfiness that Uggs are known for, but I actually find these boots chic and stylish unlike the old classic style that looks like loaves of bread lol. I know...I bet you never would have guessed that these equestrian inspired boots were Uggs! 

Rule Breaker

Since Labor Day was last week, I should probably pack away the whole white section of my closet...right?! Nuh uh!...I don't think so....I love my whites way too much to only reserve it for Spring and Summer!

Some rules are just meant to be broken like this old school "fashion rule" that you can't wear white after Labor Day. Obviously nobody really follows it anymore because white is a year-round color in this day and age. But I'll pretend like I'm a badass and proclaim myself as a rule breaker with this white maxi dress from Elliatt! Plus, it's really all about bending and breaking the rules of fashion now. Like I always say, "Life is too short to wear boring clothes"! So go experiment and have fun with fashion...while defying all those "fashion rules".

I styled this sheer striped maxi dress with some killer Jeffrey Campbell silver gladiator heels, a braided silver belt, and some silver jewelry. Have a happy Monday, y'all!
