beanie baby

 I don't know about you, but I know that when I used to see anyone wearing a beanie, I would often associate it with being homeless. Not only have I seen quite a few homeless men wearing beanies in my day, but I think it's also just a widely accepted image of the homeless person: beanie, lots of baggy layers, big beard, shopping cart. This past year, though, I've seen beanies trending like crazy. Suddenly they were on half of the fashion blogs I follow, all over my tumblr feed....everywhere.
So I decided I'd try them out for myself! I got this extremely comfy-cozy wine colored Alpaca knit beanie from MySocialOutlet and I am so head-over-heels for it!
I also can't get over the print on this dress. I'm not a big bodycon dress fan, but the smoke and crystal pattern on this is so mesmerizing. When it first arrived in the mail, I just stared at it for probably 10 minutes admiring the intricate detail.
I'd also like to note that it was nearly 70 degrees and sunny today and it was so nice!!

Sooooo I'm always complaining about it not being cold enough in Texas, right? Well, the temps have finally gotten super low and I now realize how miserable it is trying to take photos when it's freezing out.
That's why this post only has two photos. My older sister (who took them) and I were both rapidly turning into icicles so we had to cut this one a bit short.
On Christmas I got about a billion and one giftcards to Forever21, so this outfit is comprised almost solely of F21 items EXCEPT the beautiful black cape! I got that c/o MySocialOutlet (probably the coolest company ever...you muuuust check them out!) and I am so in love with it. It's so cozy and it's very high quality, and actually kept me quite warm!
I'm also really digging the floral leggings. I have taken quite the liking to patterned pants/leggings, and I can't stop buying them.
