Talk Nerdy To Me

Gold Hoops - Mom's Closet

Watch - Citizen Eco Drive

Book - An Autobiography of B.F. Skinner

Striped Button-Down Sweater- Tommy Hilfiger

Bow Ballet Flats - Anne Klein

This is one of my absolute favorite sweaters. It was an extremely brisk day in Southern California and this sweater was perfect. Tommy Hilfiger is one of my favorite designers and I got this sweater for an amazing price. It's so comfortable and a bit heavier than your average sweater. It's the perfect essential for a cold, windy day! I love this sweater because it matches so many different items in my closet. I love wearing it with black pants and high-heeled boots. To make the outfit more work appropriate, I added ballet flats which were just as cute and a bit more practical. 

I stumbled across the shoes at T.J. Maxx and fell in love with them. Ballet flats are my best friend since I work with kids all day and am constantly running after them or playing on the ground. Anne Klein makes extremely nice shoes and if you can find them at stores like T.J. Maxx or Marshalls, you are guaranteed to get a great price. 

I wore black pants with this outfit. I would also recommend wearing red pants to add a pop of color and to brighten what was a gloomy day. I love cozy days cuddling up by the fire with a book and coffee in hand. I frequent Coffee Bean often since I'm constantly on the go with my job and this day was perfect because I had extra time between clients to grab my book and read. 

On an additional note, I did get hit on while sipping my coffee and reading which was not a pleasant interruption to say the least. I only have a few minutes to myself during the work day so I really appreciate my quiet time. If you are wondering, I love reading books that are intellectually stimulating like this one. My line of work is directly a result of B.F. Skinner's radical behaviorism so I love comparing notes and learning about his experiments. I would highly recommend this read! 

As far as jewelry goes, I would stick with gold pieces when it comes to tan clothing. Silver would look a bit tacky with such rich hued articles of clothing. I chose to go with simple gold hoops and my watch which has become a staple item in my wardrobe. I am constantly checking the time at work and using it to record behavior data! 

Xoxo!
