Create28 and New Year Styled: Go-To Winter Look

Oh my goodness, I have so much going on here at Whitney à la mode today!  First of all, today is the kick-off of Create28 Winter 2017!  This month, Carrie and I are challenging you to create 28 new-to-you outfits inspired by the prompts we've created.  We encourage you to pull yourself out of that winter slump that we're all feeling and to be excited about what you're wearing again!  You can find all 28 prompts at the bottom of this post.

To get started, today we want you to wear your Go-To Winter Look!  I've found for the past few years that all I want to wear while it's cold outside is a warm, chunky cardigan and from there, my go-to look was established!

I love the soft color and texture of this marled blue cardigan.  It's the perfect completer piece on a chilly day!  So perfect, in fact, that I wore this exact sweater for my Go-To Winter Look on this very day last year!  And you know what that means!  This cardigan is a perfect candidate for my New Year Styled Challenge with The Blended Blog!

Last year, I let this cardigan be the pop of color in an otherwise neutral outfit and chose to feature texture (lace) over color.  This year, my look is similar featuring a simple combination of skinny jeans, a t-shirt and the cardigan.  But this time I added color with my favorite LuLaRoe Randy shirt and my pink chucks.

Which look is your favorite?  And how have you been styling your looks this year?  Make sure to link-up below with The Blended Blog and me!  And don't forget to take a look at our Create28 prompts!  We hope you'll play along by linking-up with us on Mondays and adding your looks to Instagram with #create28winter17!  Also, make sure to visit Carrie today to see her Go-To Winter Look.

LuLaRoe Week: Randy + Giveaway

Wow, y'all, it's already the last day of LuLaRoe Week at Whitney à la mode.  I hope you've had as much fun as I have!  And how could I not be having fun when I get to sport all of these super comfy and colorful clothes?!

I hope that the information I've provided and the styles I've featured have given you a better idea of what LuLaRoe is all about (and that I may have convinced you to try a style or two)!  And I've really only scratched the surface of LLR styles.  Here you can find the Carly, Classic Tee and Leggings, Maxi Skirt, and Nicole but there are twenty-two other pieces for women!  I love a comfy Irma and Amelia and Sarah are totally on my wish list right now.

Today I'm wearing the raglan-style Randy!  I know I keep talking about LuLaRoe's fabulous colors and patterns, but I think that this is highlighted by Randy.  With the different material for the sleeves and the body of the top, there is double the opportunity for Fun!  Don't believe me, check out the last time I wore a Randy!

I would say that the Randy is less tunic-y than the other LuLaRoe tops.  It's a bit longer in length than your average shirt but I wouldn't wear mine over leggings unless I sized up.  Speaking of sizes, the Randy fits true to size and I'm wearing my typical medium here.

Well, that's all folks!  Except don't forget to enter the giveaway below to win your very own Carly swing dress.  Today is the last day for the giveaway and I will be announcing the winner soon!  And can we all give a little round of our applause (in our heads if we are at work right now) for the amazing Betsy Friedrich who taught me so much about LuLaRoe and who is so generously gifting our winner with the dress!?  From the bottom of my heart, Betsy, this collaboration has been a blast!

What I'm Wearing:
Randy Top: LuLaRoe
Jeans: American Eagle (exact)
Jacket: Gap (similar)
Socks: L.L.Bean (exact)
