New To My Closet-Vizcaino Leopard Print Jeans

I admit, I love a fun printed bottom, whether it's a skirt or pant, and these Vizcaino jeans fit the bill!

  I received them for Christmas and finally wore them on Friday.  The fit is as great as ever, and they're not just printed but have some kind of waxed coating on them that gives them a slight rose gold undertone that's much more noticeable in person.  (Hmmm...That description makes them seem really over the top...)

Anyway, I went preppy with these old oxford/corset heels and Moth knit jacket...I love the buttons, very sweet!

What did you get for Christmas?

Prep Factor in My Closet -New Buttons

I purchased this velvet blazer 2-3 years ago from Old Navy. Which means I didn't spend a lot on it because velvet in Texas is really hot and I wasn't sure how often I'd wear it so I didn't want to make a huge investment.

As it turns out, I love the cropped style, and it fits me quite well. I didn't wear it much last year but velvet seems to be making a come back for fall and I since I no longer have a dirty job (like last winter,) I think I'll get more use out of it. Except....

I hate the buttons! Some of the little gems have fallen out and I sort of think they make the jacket look cheap anyway.

So on to Joanne's. They had so many great buttons that I had a hard time making up my mind! I was torn between going in an 80's direction (think big, gold and Dynasty,) or upping the prep factor...

Prep factor won! And so did I! For under $10 and 30 minutes, I have a new velvet jacket that I can't wait to wear!

I'm thinking skinny jeans, something in a stripe for the top, boots and fingerless gloves...I can't wait to wear it!

Now, if only it didn't happen to be 100+ outside...
