BCBG Waffle Knit

If there are two things that I have developed a new found love for this A/W season they would definitely be waffle knits and the BCBG MAX AZRIA Group. When I learned earlier in the fall that these two things combined to make one wonderful sweater I was more than a little excited. I am not sure why I did not get it earlier, I think it had to do with my attempt to be responsible about making too many waffle knit/sweater additions to my wardrobe, but when I saw that BCBG currently giving an extra 20% off to all sale items online and in store I decided to give in and order it! Hopefully it comes before Jordan and I head back to the city! Also, If you have not done so already you should check their sale, so many lovely things! Hugs!

Waffle Knit & Snakeskin

With Each season's collections, numerous trends start to formulate as fashion week makes it way through each city. The trends you like you pay attention to and as fashion week ends you begin to see these trends making their way into the stores. There is a weird feeling of excitment when you realize that H&M has a 30 dollar garment inspired by a favorite trend and you grab it because it looks like that piece from Prada that you want in the moment but would never buy because it is a 'trend piece'. Then three months later it seems like everyone is wearing an odd version of a Prada inspired snakeskin or a faux fur piece and that trend loses all meaning.
I am not against wearing trends and I think all people should have access to them, it is hard to avoid them if you like fashion but I do think wearing trends just because they are trends looks a little silly. So when I picked up this pair of snakeskin denim from Gap I was a little surprised. Snakeskin isn't exactly my thing but the fact that the snakeskin print is just a few shades darker than the fabric makes me feel like it doesn't look so reptilian. Actually, I am happy I got them though, I like them quite a bit, especially paired with a waffle knit! I do not expect myself to be wearing any other snakeskin pieces though. Happy Holidays! Hugs!

2. Mix all of the remaining ingredients in a large bowl until you no longer see any clumps.

3. Pour the batter into your Hello Kitty waffle maker.

4. In a few minutes, your waffles should be done!
