I like this plaid skirt. (I sort of feel like cheering on Ohio State in it!) Some of my favorite skirts are from The Limited.  I have found that they have the best fit for me. I like a lot of skirts at Loft (like this one or this one) and Ann Taylor (like this fringe one, which would be perfect for the holidays), but unfortunately for me I usually have trouble with the fit.  The Limited also offers great deals - like 40% off or buy one, get one free - so I recommend waiting for them to go on sale.  I got this plaid one this fall for 50% off, which I love!

Old Navy: 30% off (Code: Festive)
Gap: 30% off (Code: Festive)

Lastly, my outtake - tugging and pulling to make sure everything is laying just "perfect". (And, then, there were still wrinkles.)  I should mention too that these pictures were taken as the Arctic Blast was moving into our area.  I don't have any crazy wind pictures, but it was a constant struggle to get a picture where my hair wasn't blowing across my face.

 Leopard Scarf Look:

Scarf // Tee // Jeans (or Skinny Jeans)// Booties // Rings // Handbag

Plaid Scarf Look:

Scarf // Sweater // Jeans // Riding Boots // Socks // Handbag

I love finding great deals at my favorite places to shop - Nordstrom, Old Navy, and Zappos - like these scarves for under $20 (plus free shipping both ways!) and this v-neck sweater.  What do you think about the boot/sock trend? This girl looks so chic wearing the trend.  I just bought a pair the other week - but more out of necessity because I was going to a football game and I wanted to stay warm.  I have yet to wear them stylishly.  These tall socks are a great deal for only $5, plus they come in a lot of other colors.  Follow along on Facebook for more deal alerts.

Scarves for under $25:

Have you seen this Old Navy commercial with Amy Poehler?
I really like this plaid coat - and it is on sale for $42.

Holiday Mix & Match

Reindeer Sweater // Sexy Santa // Christmas Story Lampshade Tee

The "Ugly Christmas Sweater" or "Sexy Santa" are fun, but if you are looking for more style inspiration for what to wear to your holiday parties this year I may have some ideas.
