out of every oyster comes a pearl

Well, I didn't see any come out of the ones I was eating last night… 
Last night,  I went to an outdoor oyster roast, and boy, it was cold!! I had to make sure to wear a super-duper warm outfit, but I still wanted to look polished and put together. 

I paired my colorful Fair Isle sweater with these cozy caramel corduroys for a cute and casual combo (say that three times fast :). I chose my long brown riding boots, so that I could wear fuzzy socks and foot warmers (don't judge me... it was seriously cold). Lastly, I added my pearl studs and MK watch for a touch of glamour. Over top my comfy ensemble, I added a burnt orange peacoat and gloves, and I was out the door!

a midwinter night's dream (+ a giveaway!)

Recently, I've been gravitating towards wearing these amazing Ralph Lauren button downs almost every day. They are just so comfy and flatter every body type. They have definitely been a fall staple this year! This particular shirt will be so cute to wear to Christmas parties because of the dark green and red plaid pattern.
I really love outfits like these because they are functional yet stylish. This Patagonia vest keeps me super warm when outside in the chilly winter air. It also adds more texture to the outfit and blends seamlessly with the dark plaid pattern in the button down. The dark brown boots really polish off the look and keep my toes nice and warm! 
This outfit is great, if you have some sort of outdoor festivities during the fall or winter, like a bonfire or oyster roast for the holidays. I will definitely be putting this style on heavy rotation when the holiday party circuit begins!

Giveaway Time:

In my Instagram photos and recent outfit posts, you might have seen this rose gold 'love' necklace. I've been wearing almost every day for the past two weeks. I've had a pretty big obsession with small and dainty necklaces for a few years now. I have another necklace, a small gold star, that I've worn forever, but I think this might be my new everyday necklace. I love the way it layers with larger statement necklaces, and alone, it adds a unique flair to any outfit. Meghan, the owner of Moose and Nigel, was kind enough to send me a necklace to review, as well as one to give away to one of you guys!

Here's how to enter: 
1. You have to be a follower of this blog, Poised and Preppy!
