The Whispertown 2000 + High-Waisted Shorts

 Both albums by The Whispertown 2000 have been playing constantly from my iPod and it seems like every picture and video of them features at least one of the girls wearing an amazing pair of high-waisted shorts.  Yes, I'm aware that it's winter but high-waisted shorts look fantastic with tights and oxfords. I know I'm inspired by their style, are you?

Shop Sunday: Etsy

Etsy is my favorite place to shop online.  Fabulous vintage finds, affordable stylish pieces and quirky accessories are always a breeze to encounter.  All items below and thousands of other amazing items are currently available on etsy.com.

Style Icon Saturday: Mary-Kate Olsen

For the first style icon muse, I chose Mary-Kate Olsen.  The way her effortless style and desheveled hair always seems to look perfectly put together amazes me.  She is gorgeous and the Daily Muse's first weekly style icon.

Follow Friday: Refinery29

Refinery29 was the very first fashion blog I read and has only grown and improved since then.  It was a no-brainer to choose them as my first follow friday muse.

Cozy Sweaters

 The temperatures are dropping in my area so all I can think about it staying warm and cozy.  Sweaters are necessary in this feat.

 KatieErickson from Chictopia wears this Forever 21 sweater beautifully.

This cozy cocoon sweater from Nordstom looks so inviting to wrap up in.

Cute, colorful and handmade on Etsy! 

Would look amazing with some sheer tights, buy at Topshop.

I love how this J. Crew sweater has a special tie detail in the back.  I could see it looking perfect with black skinny jeans. 

Kennedy H. looks so cozy in this on lookbook.

Velvet

I'm really loving velvet this winter for the first time since childhood.  I think it looks and feels lovely.

I'm lusting after this American Apparel dress. 

This vintage velvet find by paulinemarie on Chictopia is incredible.

This Heritage 1981  fitted blazer would be a cozy fit into any wardrobe.

This 1960's velvet skirt from Revivalhouse on Etsy is listed for only $8. What a great stylish steal!

Peter Pan Collar

Peter Pan collars are so adorable and dainty.  However, I do not understand how they got their name.  The collar that Peter Pan wears appears to be nothing like the rounded ones that we consider to be "Peter Pan" today.  Oh well, they are just so cute!

On a side note, I love Disney Cartoons.  They are still so much fun to watch and the art and music is gorgeous, buy here.

This ASOS little black lace dress is gorgeous. I want it. 

   I love the way that phoebedoes from Chictopia layers her sweater and pulls the collar out over the top.

I have this blouse in cream from Urban Outfitters and it goes with everything. The sheer detailing on the sleeve is super pretty. 

French Toast makes school uniforms for boys and girls and I think that their Peter Pan collar shirts are just so cute and would be perfect for layering.  Although they are in girls sizes, they carry up to size 20 so many of us could wear them. The best part is, they are so cheap.  This one is only 5.99 on Amazon. I'm buying now.
