This is by far one of my favorite looks of this entire winter season. When I first saw this jacket, in a small boutique in Chicago, called Milk Handmade, I initially thought it was cute. However, it wasn’t till after I styled it, that I absolutely fell in love.

Since ASB’s main goal is to provide you with inspiration, I typically try to style very unique and different looks to feature on the blog. However, sometime’s I think it’s absolutely necessary to post a “normal” outfit every once in awhile.
This outfit is the definition of cute, trendy & casual. Tieing plaid around your waist has been in for quite awhile now, but I mixed it up a bit by adding this cropped distressed hoodie and a pair of super mini heels.
These heels used to remind me of my mom, or even grandma. My mom always had a super old pair of heels like this in her closet. The heel is about a half inch high and the boots are super pointed.
The more fashion forward I’ve become, the more I’ve started to appreciate this style. It’s all about how you style it though. I always say this, but you probably shouldn’t wear these shoes if you also dress like a grandma because then they would still probably look like grandma shoes.
Pointed shoes are everything for me right now, I rarely will buy a shoe if they aren’t pointed. I love this heel height as well because being 5’8 I don’t need a whole lot of help with height, so comfort is key when it comes to footwear.

I’ve been wanting to do an athleisure post for what seems like my entire blogging life, realistically a couple months. I’ve always been super athletic and active, allowing me to practically live in yoga pants. So to not have ever posted an athleisure type look is absurd of me.
Honestly, I have no idea what took me so long to do it, but boy am I glad that I finally did! Let me tell ya, I actually had an absolute blast taking these photos. Most likely because it felt more natural to me than any other shoot I’ve done. Not having to pose, but just being able to run was definitely freeing for me.
I used to always think that turtlenecks were very old fashioned and grandma-like. To think that they could be considered a “trend” was absurd to me at first.
I wish there was more of a formula to layering. Like you can layer under this but not that. Unfortunately, there is no such formula.
