Rise & shine, it's Sunday! I hope you all had a lovely week. Mine was a bit uneventful, but calm weeks are often the best kind of weeks. I definitely had plenty of time for some self-reflecting. Quiet moments for things like that are much needed. As I was doing some thinking, I realized that I have been blogging a lot of single outfits lately. Today, surprise, surprise, I have another one for you. I love to write this kind of post, but I also want to cater to your interests. Do y'all like single outfit posts or would you like to see some more lifestyle posts? Let me know what you would like to see here on Merging Threads. After all, this blog is for you! Anyway, today's look is super classic and perfect for any occasion. I am excited to share it with you!

Happy Sunday! Can you believe we are already twenty two days into 2017? Before we know it, it will be February. Ah!

The outfit I will be sharing today features one of my favorite sweaters.

TRENDS, TRENDS, TRENDS. Cute or Nah? Everyone always seems to have their own opinions  as to whether the latest ideas in the fashion world are really the best for daily wardrobes.

At first I had mixed feeling about the new trendy combo, but I gave it a try and there is something so chic about it that I love! Today I will be sharing my own take on the tshirt and tank trend.

Go To Hues: Black, White, ( + a pop of leopard)

Hello friends! I hope you are all having a lovely day. It seems like the new year is already off to a busy start, but it was nice to have some time today to get organized and ready for this week. If you have been reading my blog lately, you probably noticed that I have a thing for neutrals. Something about dressing in simplistic colors brings me a certain confidence that other colors don't! Today I will be sharing one of my favorite looks in my go-to hues: black & white (oh & a pop of leopard of course!).
