Happy first Monday of the year! This is going to be a crazy busy month for me, (Awards Season) but I have a feeling it will FLY by. Sometimes it’s fun to break a few rules while getting dressed. This time that was print mixing. I know there aren’t really any real rules for it, but some people might think plaid and leopard won’t work together… well, I’d like to prove them wrong. If you’re shy about mixing prints try wearing a printed button down shirt under a sweater like I did here, it kind of breaks it up without being too bold. You can pair it with a printed skirt or a pair of printed pants and have a fun pattern mixed look.

I hope you’re enjoying the holiday season and had a very Merry Christmas! If you’re shipping the mall to check out some after Christmas sales today make sure you stop by Groopdealz or just enjoy my favs below.

I know in most of the country it isn’t exactly sandals season but you better scoop these up before they’re gone forever.

These chunky anchor bracelets are so cute and would look great stacked.

I love the length on this leopard midi skirt. It’s perfect for any time of year!

I’ve been kind of obsessing over fun pants lately, first with this leopard pair last week and now these sparkly jogger-esque pair. I actually bought them last year and have gotten a lot of use out of them for two holiday seasons. They’re so comfortable which is perfect for indulging at a party when you want a third helping of baked brie (or maybe that’s just me). Another amazing thing about sparkle pants is the versatility which kinda sounds ridiculous, but I swear they are pants you can wear anywhere. I like wearing them to work with a chambray shirt and booties just as much as dressing them up.

I know it’s no where near spring, but we’re in the holiday home stretch and I think that calls for some playful bright colors. Don’t you agree? Check out my weekly favs from GroopDealz below.

These bracelets are so fun and you can’t beat the price!

This striped hoodie is so relaxed and cute. It’s perfect for the end of winter through summer.

As the holidays get even closer, and the temperatures drop, I find myself doing more online shopping. Make sure to stop by GroopDealz if you’re stumped on any holiday shopping and check out my favorite deals of the week!

How cozy does this sweatshirt look? I especially love the relaxed cowl neck and burn out look.

Plaid coats are everything right now. This one would go with just about everything from an LBD to a festive holiday red.

Rings are my favorite jewelry item and I love when they make a statement. This little gold chief does just that!
