casual winter outfit los gatos street style it bags 2021 under $500

wearing: hoop earrings / grey scarf (under $100) / ivory sweater / spring nail polish / bead genuine gemstone bracelets c/o TiffsJeweldom (only $25 each!!) / black handbag (IT bag under $300) / distressed jeans (under $50) / Gucci sneakers /

Well, the warm weather we enjoyed last week went away quickly! We are now in a cold weather pattern, so it’s time to get back to bundling up! I love this classic ivory sweater from The Perfect Provenance. It’s a fabulous go-to sweater I know I will be wearing for many years to come. If you haven’t invested in one yet, I highly recommend it! It’s so soft and cozy; perfect for a winter day!

Raise your hand if you love jewels. My hand is way up! How fabulous are these gemstone bracelets! They are designed in San Jose by a mother/daughter design team who is extremely active in the community. They do so much volunteer work to help the community, I am not sure how they found the time to start  a design business; but they did! Love it!

All of the bracelets by TiffsJeweldom are handmade in San Jose, California. They are created from genuine gemstone beads and adorned with different charms depending on the gemstone. The gemstone beads are a great size. Sometimes beaded bracelets have beads which are too big; making it clumsy when typing on a keyboard, or writing something down. Of course, there is the other extreme where beads can be too small and look cheap. Thankfully these beads are the perfect size! They look much more expensive than they are; and I can type or write all day long without them getting in the way. Love that!

I wore this casual look while walking around downtown Los Gatos with my family. We enjoyed getting out of the house, and stopped for some boba tea along the way. We are definitely looking forward to the stay-at-home order being lifted so we can start doing more things! I think the Bay Area is the most locked down part of the country! How are things where you are?

Be sure to check out TiffsJeweldom. These beautiful bracelets are a great gift idea for Valentine’s Day, or a gift for yourself! I love mine and plan to wear them often.

oversized sweater trend it bags 2021san jose street style

wearing: hoop earrings / grey scarf / shirt under sweater / oversized sweater (currently on major sale and in other colors!!) / distressed jeans (under $50!) / nail polish / handbag / black lug sole boots /

The new year is here! Since things are still locked down, I am keeping life very casual in the new year. I’m loving these comfortable and casual lug sole boots; also being referred to as ‘combat boots’ this season-which is a huge trend. They are great for walking, and for running around town doing errands. I find myself reaching for them almost every time I leave the house! They are great in the rain too since they are water resistant. Love that!

Oversized sweaters are always cozy, and this one is no exception. I love sinking my hands inside the sleeves for warmth, and having room to layer my clothing underneath on a cold day. This sweater has been a huge go-to this season! Of course, I have been wearing these jeans quite often since early fall, love them!

I wore this outfit the other day to wander around Santana Row with my family. We really needed to get out of the house! We window shopped, sat on fluffy sofas at ZGallerie, and bought boba tea. It was nice and relaxing; always love hanging out on Santana Row!

Fringe sweater vest and a pop of pink

fall outfit ideassan jose street stylefringe vest fall 2020 holidays winter

wearing: antique gold hoop earrings / pink scarf (under $100) / black long sleeve tee / black snake buckle belt / black fringe sweater vest / destroyed jeans (under $50) / black handbag / holiday nail polish / antique gold chain bracelet (fits small) / black block heel boots (under $200) /

The weather is finally cooling off, so I pulled out this fringe vest, and this light pink scarf, which are part of my upcoming holiday capsule wardrobe; and I wore them out! I will call this my fall into the holidays look. That works, right?? haha

For the upcoming holiday season, I am more in the mood to rock berry hues with warm clothing, rather my usual red and green Christmas color palette. While Christmas is still the main event for me, I am in a pink, red, and purple mood this year. You will see the vibe when my holiday capsule wardrobe goes live later this week! It is a little delayed this year since I am still waiting for a few pieces to arrive that I ordered over two weeks ago. Apparently the one package I am waiting for, is the only package I have had delayed this year. Go figure!

This fringe sweater vest will be really fun this holiday season. It can be worn over any color long sleeve tee. I plan to wear it mostly with the two tee’s that have not arrived yet, they are burgundy and pink. For Christmas, I can wear it over my red long sleeve tee from last year, and pair it with green earrings. This fringe sweater vest is just the right weight to keep me warm, without being too hot. It’s great to wear indoors or outdoors. I am in love! You will see me in this vest a lot the next couple months!

I wore this fall into the holiday season outfit last week to Valley Fair Mall. Don’t worry, I wore a mask. I only popped it off for the photos while we were outside, and not around any other people.

Which colors are you in the mood for this holiday season? Are you feeling traditional red and green? Or are you like me, and feeling something different?
