Another Fox Sweater

November 14, 2016 by Nikki 13 Comments

Fox sweaters are everywhere, aren’t they? And for good reason: they’re adorable. This is the second fox sweater I’ve purchased but not for lack of wanting all of the others. I would wear all of them if I could. Anyway, we’re finally starting to get a little bit of a chill in the air here in NC, so I was excited to throw on a sweater and my tall boots for the first time this season. I wore this outfit several times in the past week, the first to hang out with some of my colleagues and then again to do some outlet shopping on Saturday. My hang out session with colleagues was actually to commiserate with each other over our recent layoffs from the nonprofit we were working for. It’s a bummer and now I have to get back out in the job market, but I got this little fox to cheer me up.

Look at that cute little 21-week baby bump!

It was really chilly out on Saturday so I added the navy puffer vest for a little extra warmth. I hate that it covers up the fox, but you do what you gotta do, right? Gotta keep the bump warm. But I love all these colors together, the orange, navy, and cognac. They’re perfect for fall.

And here’s the fun one: I wanted to show how the fox’s tail wraps around the side of the sweater but I wasn’t sure what to do with my arm so I was joking around with Nick and he took this photo. It’s cute because I’m goofy!

Pinspired: Fox Sweater, Chambray, and White Pants

February 11, 2015 by Nikki 3 Comments

Pinspired: Fox Sweater, Chambray, and White Pants| NCsquared Life

I went to lunch with my friend, RT, and asked her to take some photos of this outfit with my phone since I was nowhere near home and didn’t have my nice camera with me. They turned out pretty well, considering. Please forgive the coloring, but the lighting was not the best. I’ve been feeling a little guilty about my lack of posting lately and this outfit was really cute, so I didn’t want to miss the chance to post it. It was inspired by Annie from Stylish Petite. The last few days have been unseasonably warm for the middle of February and I was going to wear this outfit without the sweater like in the first and last photos of Annie’s post, but there was a breeze so I needed the extra layer.

Foxy Lady

Fox Sweater & Midi Skirt | NCsquared Life

One good thing about the weather turning cold is new opportunities to re-wear my cute sweaters. Exhibit A: this fox sweater. I feel like everyone and their mom coveted this sweater (or one like it)  last year so I feel lucky that I was able to snag one, and  I think I only wore it a few times last year before the season was over. I’ve worn it with a short black skirt before and it looked great so I thought it would look equally as good with this midi skirt. And, I was right!

I wore this outfit to work and then to class. I felt super cute and classy, even when I had to change out of the heels and into little black flats by the end of the day.

What Does the Fox Say?

This adorable fox sweater is popping up all over the place. And for good reason: it’s awesome! It’s light enough to wear when there’s a slight chill in the air, but it’s also perfect for layering. You can probably tell it was windy out when I took these photos, so I added the vest, which is the perfect complement to the ensemble. Personally, think the animal sweater trend is the best thing to happen to clothing. Just sayin’.

This is probably one of my all-time favorite photos of myself. It looks so ominous with the clouds in the background and my skeptical face doubting it all! Photos like this for me are a needle in a haystack.

I’m loving this bracelet because it’s proving to be extremely versatile. At first I thought the color would be too plain and boring but it turned out to be a great neutral piece that I can wear with just about anything. Maybe I should stick to neutrals forever.

By the way, the title of this post is from a song of the same name by a Norwegian comedy duo called Ylvis. A crazy but catchy song that my husband showed me and then several days later all of my classmates were talking about it. It’s weird but funny at the same time.

Have a listen. I promise it’ll be stuck in your head all day. You’re welcome.

How do you feel about the animal sweater trend?
