Twist on a Turtleneck Dress.









Dress: Macy's {old, similar here} // Boots: Charlotte Russe // Sunglasses: {old} // Purse: Michael Kors // Necklace: Kohl's {old, similar here} // Bracelets: c/o Taudrey, {old} // Watch: Kate Spade // Ring: Charming Charlie // Lips: Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstick in Lust for Blush


     This is the outfit that I wore for the Her Campus Blogger Network's January North Carolina meet-up! (I am the North Carolina Regional Chair for the HCBN so I got to plan the meet-up, but I'll be sharing more details about that on the blog later this week!) We all met in Greensboro, and afterwards I spent a couple more hours with my blogger bestie Cara from Caralina Style. She took me to this beautiful mural in downtown Greensboro where we did blog photos- I still can't get over the vibrant colors that make up this amazing piece of art! 

     I've had this turtleneck dress for several years now, but it is a timeless and feminine piece that I can still wear season after season. Classic fashion items like this are great to invest in! To give it a more edgy twist that's perfect for the 2016 winter season, I added in one of my favorite new trendy items, my OTK boots! I was so happy that the weather was quite mild on the day of the blogger meet-up... but you can see that there is still some melting snow in these pictures! North Carolina's weather has truly been all over the place so far this season. 


     I planned an HCBN meet-up in Greensboro around this time last year as well. You can check out some outfit posts that I shot with Cara (and my blog bestie Gina from Gina Alyse) here, here and here


     Despite a busy week coming up in school, I have lots of blog posts planned for this week, so stay tuned!
