Correct me if I’m wrong (I’m not), but what you wear on a Saturday night has less to do with Saturday night’s activity and more to do with what you have to wear Monday through Friday. When I was in law school, I wore jeans a lot and was generally pretty casual, so even a simple movie date on the weekend was an excuse to put on a cute dress. But now that I wear skirts and dresses to work most days, by Saturday I’m excited to put on some jeans or leggings.

Naturally, I spiff ’em up with some killer heels, fancy earrings, and my new monogrammed Gigi New York clutch I got for Christmas. I’m just fancy like that, no matter the day.

I felt kind of silly standing in the freezing cold, all bundled up, with this ocean scene behind me. Whales, you are lucky your ocean isn’t in Indiana, because you wouldn’t be swimming so freely. I recommend sticking to the West Coast.

I didn’t really plan on wearing a sweater, hat, and gloves with bling on them, but it happened and I’m not too mad about it. They let us have a jeans day on Friday, mainly because the heat in our giant, 100-year-old building has been riding the struggle bus in these extreme temperatures. So we needed a little more wiggle room in the dress code for everyone to be even close to comfortable. I didn’t wear my hat all day in the office, but I did wear my gloves inside for several hours. I tried putting my hands under my legs and operating my computer by telekinesis, but I’m not Carrie…Gloves on a keyboard were awkward, but still more effective.

The rest of me stayed pretty cozy in this layered flannel and striped top, both of which have been staples for fall and winter. Scroll down below to see how else I’ve worn them!
