Ways to Save 2018 Winter Trends + Blog Thoughts

I am a couple days into putting my 2018 goals into action - and I am really trying to be good and not spend too much time on social media and reading blogs - which in case you missed it you can read about here.  I'll be honest - it is tough to limit the time!

Another one of my goals is to find ways to really hone what makes my blog "special" and to really define "what my niche is".  I feel like I have been unfocused somewhat, and I want to refine what my blog is - and put together content that you guys benefit from.  I am trying to decide if I want to start taking more outfit photos again, continue with the dressing room selfies/try on sessions - and also keep putting together more capsule collections. And, also should I share more about my personal journey.  What are your thoughts?

SHOP SAVE VS SPLURGE ITEMS

1. Fur Trimmed Denim Jacket // 2. Hiker Booties (Also here) // 3. Mustard Sweater
4. Studded Buckle Booties (Similar here) // 5. Fur Trimmed Denim Jacket
6. Hiker Booties // 7. Mustard Sweater // 8. Studded Buckle Booties

I am a little on the fence about a distressed denim jacket - but I love the fur lining and collar.  I also like the sherpa lined denim jackets, too  I love the look of a denim jacket, but when I wear it - it is sometimes not warm enough - so maybe the lining would help.

Also, I am really liking the lug sole/hiker boot trend.  I also love the "grunge-inspired" lug sole boots.  I have worn these boots I bought a couple weeks ago, so much already, and I get compliments when I wear them.  I am so glad I bought them during the after Christmas sale.
