Happy New Year everyone! Although this was not the outfit I wore for New Year's Eve, or for the New Year, I feel the need to share one of my happiest 'last' buys from 2012. 

I recently bought this beautiful quilted jacket with elbow and shoulder pads from Banana Republic and have been dying to wear it out. Although I love it sooo much (and believe me..I hunted this baby down--it was sold out online and in most stores!), I must've definitely picked the worst day to have worn it. It ended up snowing so hard outside...but at least I was bundled up in a scarf and boots!
