A Day Out + Giveaway Roundup!

Sweater: Thrifted ($?)

Striped Top: Old Navy (clearance, $3)

Scarf: Thrifted ($2)

Jeans: Old Navy ($30)

Boots: Old Navy ($25)

This is what I wore out on Monday.  My husband and I did a little shopping and saw Beauty and the Beast in 3D.

The photo below depicts how I look on an average day out.  A have a few winter coats, but this one definitely gets the most wear.

Jacket: Maurices ($?)

Bag: Old Navy (clearance, $7)

The new hat I got in the men's section at Gap on clearance for $7.50.  I've found a lot of great cold weather items in the men's section of stores.  So much warmer than women's hats!

I apologize for the ghostly paleness.  I blame the cloudy day and poor ipod camera.

One great thing about reading other style blogs (aside from outfit inspiration) is that many frequently host giveaways.  I enter a lot of the giveaways on the blogs I read, and I've even won a few things!  So I thought I'd take the time to share some of the current giveaways on my favorite blogs.

• Kendi Everyday is giving away a $100 giftcard to Ruche.
• Girl and Closet is giving away a handmade money clip.
• Selective Potential is giving away an item from Agar Fashion.
• Tim Challies is giving away a few books. (hurry, this one ends Saturday, January 21st at noon!)
• 5 Days... 5 Ways is giving away some cutting edge stencils.

Kind of a slow week for giveaways, but there's a few. :) If you're hosting a giveaway (or know of a great one), please email me or simply leave a comment below!
