Casual Friday

My car dashboard actually said -1 degrees this morning and more snow is on the way, so it's a casual Friday for me!  This look is very simple and some of the pieces I've had in my closet for a while.  The American flag infinity scarf was a gift for Christmas and the navy cardigan with elbow pads was a cheap find at TJ Maxx several months ago. 

I have found similar items that are affordable to get this same Americana casual look! My jeans are from American Eagle (my favorite place to buy jeans) and they are the artist style that you can find here!  AE always has sales, so if you watch it right, you can usually buy them for $30 or less! I love this style because it gives a little bit of a flare at the bottom and helps to slim down your legs!

There are many places you can pick up the American flag scarf at because I actually have a lighter weight one for Spring that I got at Cracker Barrel!  The one shown here is from Free People for only $38 and can be found here!

It's hard to tell, by my navy cardigan has the elbow pads that have been shown a lot this season.  I have several sweaters and shirts in my closet with this look.  I found a similar sweater on asos.com, which is a great place to hunt for all sorts of clothing and accessories!  This sweater has a leather elbow patch and is 100% cotton, so a very durable and lasting purchase at only $46.50.  This sweater can be paired with a lot of looks and a good go-to sweater to grab on your way out. 

My shoes are UGG Dakota slippers that are usually priced around $100.  I have had them for a couple of years now and I love them because they have the amazing sheep skin fur inside and keep my feet nice and warm.  I know that UGGs are very controversial now and a lot of people aren't a fan of their products, but any shoe can be worn with those jeans from tennis shoes to a wedge bootie to complete the outfit. 

The last item that I am wearing to complete my Americana look is my anchor stud earrings, which aren't shown in the actual picture.  They are similar to these Kate Spade studs that I found on Saks Fifth Avenue's website, but I actually found them at a local jewelry store.  There are many sites that carry these particular earrings, but they can be found here for only $32!!
