As I am writing this post, the words are not coming to me. I am not a “writer,” but usually when I move onto something different (like when I am in the shower or driving around town), the words come to me. I have sat down a few times and just cannot come up with what to say other than I am OBSSESED with this outfit and it’s been one of my favorites lately.
To be honest, there is a lot on my mind right now. I really try to be transparent with y’all so I thought I would share my feelings. I am the type of person who bottles up my feelings and that’s not healthy. I am generally an easy-going, happy person. Don’t get me wrong, I am still very happy and life is great. However, lately I have been very very anxious! I am blessed to generally have a low stress lifestyle, but not knowing Jake’s Match results yet is causing me to be anxious. I feel like my life is on hold in a way. Match Day is in less than 50 days. This could realistically mean an out-of-state move in the months to follow before he starts residency in July. I am a control freak and not knowing is hard for me. This anxiety is causing my acid reflux (GERD, as Jake insists I refer to it) to flare up and I haven’t been sleeping as well. One day I 100% want to stay in Oklahoma City, but the next day I 100% want to move somewhere completely different and start a new adventure.
I know ultimately the Match results will be in God’s hands. I am trying to take a deep breath and take a step back and let his plan unfold. I am a huge believer that everything happens for a reason, so I cannot wait to see where we end up. For now, I am going to try to keep myself very busy and pray this time flies by.
About this outfit
Faux fur details, tweed and A-line styles are a few of my favorite things. As I mentioned above, I am obsessed with this outfit. It is one of those outfits I didn’t even have to think about how to style. I knew exactly how I wanted to style it before even trying it on. I ordered a size small in the jacket and it fits PERFECTLY.
Tweed is something that I have seen around a lot lately and I am pretty excited about it. It is so classy and elegant, and it reminds me of Chanel. Over Christmas, my sister-in-law asked me if I wanted this dress and I didn’t hesitate to take it off of her hands. I knew the perfect jacket to style it with. This outfit inititally reminded me of Blair Waldorf. Gossip Girl is one of my favorite shows (you can see why here).
After posting this look on Instagram, another blogger said she thought it was more Cher Horowitz from Clueless and I completely agree with her. The glamorous fur details on the bottom of the jacket and the tweed fabric are exactly something she would have worn in the popular 90’s series. It is glam to the max, which is very Cher.
This jacket is perfect to bring into spring or to finish off winter. The faux fur detailing on the tweed jacket was the perfect touch to get the “glam” look I wanted. I am really into preppy outfits lately and can see myself wearing this to a date night or a brunch. I especially can see it for a brunch in New York.

Hello Courtney, I feel for you girl! You are in a waiting game situation not knowing where you will end up I totally get how you can be anxious. God will guide both of you, he will put new adventures and new people in your lives! I hope the time goes fast for you. How nice of your sister-in-law to give you this darling Tweed dress! The jacket tights and booties give it a really cute look. Here in Minnesota jeans and pants are really common especially in these cold temperatures right now! Wishing you and Jake a beautiful weekend hugs Terri💖
