Polka Dots and Turquoise- OOTD

Happy Tuesday to you all! Hope you are having a wonderful day so far. I woke up to some cloudy skies and a cool breeze in the air this morning, and I was so excited! Why, you may ask? Well that means Fall is officially here. My absolute most favorite season is here in the air, and I just can't contain my excitement. I was running behind a little this morning, and whenever that happens, I tend to want to put on my most comfiest clothes. However, this morning, I felt like dressing up a little and still looking cute, so I decided to combine comfy and stylish. (My favorite combination of all time.)

The best place to start when you want to look comfy yet still cute is a pair of black leggings. I purchased mine from TJMaxx awhile ago for $6. Awesome deal! What I love about these is how thick they are, so you can't see through them.

Now to continue with our comfy yet stylish outfit is to add a fun blouse or top. My mother recently gave me this adorable black and white polka dot top. I love the two pockets in the front, the collar, and that it buttons up the middle. The polka dots really add some excitement to this outfit. 

For shoes, I wanted a little pop of color, so I wore my turquoise flats that have some awesome studding detail on the back. I love how these add just the right amount of "pop" without being too overbearing.

Since it was a little chilly this morning, I paired this super comfy gray sweater with my top. I snagged this from one of my roomies closets, and after wearing it all day, I have decided I would like this sweater in every single color available. I love love love how big and flowy it is, and it's long enough in the back to cover my bum. (Which I tend to have a difficult time finding sweaters that long.)

Not planned, by the way.

Rain was in the forecast for the day, so I decided not to spend too much time on my hair this morning. (Plus I woke up late..) But all I did was twist it up into a little messy bun and ran out the door. A little trick for putting your hair up- quickly run your straightner through the top section of your hair (top section meaning the hair you are brushing back.) and your little baby hairs, if you have any. By straightening that top layer, when you go to pull it back, you eliminate any frizz or waves in your hair. For me and my hair type, it looks so much better when I do this. However, if you have naturally straight hair, you probably don't even need to do this step. 

And for jewelry, I wore my same rings and bracelets that I wear everyday. For earrings, I wore some diamond studs.

As you can tell, even on those days where you want to be comfortable, you can still look cute! Black leggings are definitely a staple item. Take those and build your outfit upon those. Boots are another great item to wear with your leggings that can add so much to an outfit and still be comfortable. I would like to know, what is your favorite comfy yet cute item you like to wear?
