This weekend I longed for grey rainy days so I had a legitimate excuse to stay in and watch movies. Although there were patches of sunshine, my dream of rain-filled days was partially realized by scattered drops and I managed to squeeze in a leisurely cup of tea and a few sweaters. Over the summer I talked about the perfect summer weekend look, but now that the season is changing and sandals are turning into boots, tanks into long sleeves, and baby-soft manicures into vampy hues I found myself concocting an easy weekend look that only hints at last season's wears. Although the cold begs for recluse tendencies, I still want to enjoy the crisp weather outside without looking frumpy. Eye-catching boots, pristine skin, and glossy blood nails make great accents to a canvas of everyday jeans and a staple sweater. Throw in slightly bed tussled hair (perhaps created from a day under a hat) and wind blushed cheeks to complete an effortlessly striking look.
