To say that I want to curl up by a fireplace in the mountains with some hot apple cider in hand while wearing this cozy plaid cardigan sweater from Jess Lea Boutique is an understatement.  We aren't far from much cooler weather and like many of you, I'm really looking forward to some fun fall outdoor adventures and cozy nights in with my little family.  I could honestly live in this sweater (sleep in it even) because that is how much I LOVE it.  I just don't want to take it off!

Oversized & chunky, plaid, & fringe...does it get any better than that?!  Well yes it does, because it is super affordable PLUS you can receive 10% off & free shipping with code KBSTYLED.  You're welcome!!!

On my arm...this Vera Bradley Bowled Over Satchel...their new leather bags are just stunning and I love the direction they are moving in!  I've also really fallen for Kristine Lily's gorgeous jewels.  They are beautiful, unique, and classic pieces that you will wear time and time again!

Busy week ahead?!  Same here!  These weeks just continue to come and go faster than I want them to so I'm trying to remind myself daily to stop and enjoy the small things!  Wishing you all a great start to your week and as always, thanks so much for stopping by!

Casual Chic In Black & White

JEANS // T-SHIRT // BOOTIES // NECKLACE // BAG

There are many times when "less is more" and I enjoy embracing the "less is more" philosophy from time to time!  Simple pieces can make a statement and when those simple pieces are as easy jeans and a tee, you can't go wrong.  And sometimes the attention can be mostly on your accessories, hence this bold Kendra Scott necklace and this amazing Ceri Hoover bag!

You will see these black distressed jeans on major repeat this fall as they are some of the most comfortable distressed denim that I own.  Like many of you I'm sure, I am all about distressed denim BUT I prefer my distressed jeans to be subtly distressed versus completely "destroyed"!  Plus the way I see it, the less holes, the warmer I stay as the weather cools down.

And I can't say enough about this v-neck pocket tee, which comes in a variety of colors AND is under $13!  I'm pretty sure I need one in every color considering I wear mine all of the time with jeans and I have even been caught wearing it around town with my workout leggings.  It is just one of those tees that I grab time and time again.

Would love to hear how you achieve a "less is more" look?!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by...have a great Wednesday!  p.s check back tomorrow as I'm teaming up with some other Bloggers to bring you a Nordstrom gift card giveaway!

L. Mae Boutique Buffalo Plaid Dress

DRESS: L. MAE BOUTIQUE C/O | JACKET: ROCK & REPUBLIC FOR KOHL'S | BOOTS: APT. 9 FOR KOHL'S | BAG: VERA BRADLEY C/O | RING: KRISTINE LILY C/O | BRACELET: KRISTINE LILY C/O

Do you ride the buffalo plaid train?!  I know I do...I couldn't get enough of it last fall and I find myself still craving it as this fall season approaches.  Lucky for me, L. Mae Boutique is speaking my plaid love language with this adorable cowl plaid neck dress.  

As the weather cools off more, I will be pairing this dress with some black leggings (maybe even faux leather leggings for an even more edgy look) and some tall boots.  If a dress isn't your thing...L. Mae also has the cutest buffalo plaid button down, which is also perfect for pairing with leggings or your favorite pair of denim.

If you haven't invested in a faux leather jacket this season...this Rock & Republic Hooded Faux Leather Jacket is by far one of the most affordable most chic jackets I have found.   The quality of many faux leather jackets that I have seen recently has not been so great but I can assure you the quality of this one is excellent and it looks so chic.  And I must say I love the versatility of the detachable grey hood...it adds an unexpected touch to this jacket (a little edge and a little masculine too).  It is currently on SALE too for only $63, which is such a steal!!!

I've completed this look with my Vera Bradley Natalie Satchel (can't get enough of VB's new handbag collection, which if you haven't already, you MUST check it out) and these gorgeous gorgeous GORGEOUS jewels by Kristine Lily!  Her pieces are just stunning...here are a couple of others that I am coveting right now (HERE & HERE)!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend and I'm wishing you all a great start to your week!  Thanks so much for stopping by! p.s today I am linking up with Sincerely Jenna Marie!
