The Daily Balance

Happy Friday, everyone! I’m making this short because I am HAVING SURGERY TODAY!

In the mix:

• Jacket: Marc Jacobs
• Jeans: Elle Tahari
• Boots: Gucci

I thought this was a great ‘casual friday’ outfit, comfy but still chic!

In the mix:

• Dress: Marc Jacobs
• Tights: Anthropologie
• Ankle boots: Gucci

I wore this outfit last night! The Mister and I ended up going to my old high school’s holiday concert — talk about a flashback! I hadn’t been to that school in YEARS. It was fun to see that the kids get just as excited about the concert as I did

Trista

Love the top, Trista! Looks like a great outfit for a night out with the girls – or perhaps a special date You have such nicely toned arms, I’m glad you are showing them off

VeggieGirl and VeggieDad!

On VeggieGirl:

• Mini dress: Express
• Tights: Express
• Turtleneck: Gap
• Boots: Chanel
• Jacket: Express
• Gloves: Prada

On VeggieDad:

• Pants: Nordstrom
• Sweater: Prada
• Button-down shirt: Façonnable
• Jacket: Armani
• Shoes: Prada

NOW TELL ME THEY ARE NOT ADORABLE? I have no doubt that they are the most stylish father-daughter pairing I’ve ever seen! I LOVE VeggieGirls mini – so MOD! And no special photography effects here! I can attest to the fact that they look just as fabulous in person

Lucy

I’m slightly obsessed with this outfit! I LOVE YSL — we used to have a store at our local mall, but it closed many years ago ;( I’m loving the skinny scarf paired with the big, comfy sweater. Thanks for sharing, Lucy!

Molly

Kudos to Molly for adding a belt to an otherwise simple outfit — see how much personality that adds? I’d love to think she’s wearing ankle or knee high boots in a similar tone! I’m a big fan of the striped cardigans and I think this one hits her in all the right places – so darling!

Desiree

Everyone is all about the scarves this week – I love it! I’ve always really loves scarves with vests, to and I think Desiree really pulls this look off well. The essence of casual/cool.

Marci

Marci, you are making me grin from ear to ear! How can anyone look at this outfit without smiling?! I love the mixture of colors and textures – looks like you came right from the pages of an Anthropologie catalog — this outfit is styled THAT lovely. Love it all.

And the winner is…
