Happy Monday! My day started off unusual with jury duty this morning. Thankfully I was dismissed, otherwise it would have been a 4 day trial! I'm so glad to finally be home to finish cleaning and lesson planning, but I decided to take a break to share some of my fave Cyber Monday sales!

Crushing on so many shoes right now.
I wanted to be comfy today because I didn’t know how long I would be at the court house, so I wore my favorite Sawyer Striped Dress from Junky, my new leopard flats (which are on sale for $10 today!), and the coziest lace up sweater. The exact dress and sweater are out of stock, but linked some similar as well.

Winners will be selected the first week of January 2018. HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Velvety suedes are all the rage for Fall 2017, and guys, its all just so good. Suede is personally my favorite seasonal trend, there are so many different ways to apply it to our wardrobes. Textural fabrics can add a varying detail to any outfit. I like to pair mine with other noncompeting pieces. I started with a clean slate, dark wash denim and a crisp white button up, both staples in any woman's closet. By adding suede accents, the texture of the fabrics becomes the eye popping detail, similar to how a pop of color would play. The contrast transforms this otherwise simple outfit to an eye catching look, perfect for any occasion. Playing with textures is a great way to portray your personal style. Shop similar pieces below!
If you're like me and you have tomorrow off - holla! - you're definitely celebrating that today is your "Friday". I'm so grateful for the three day weekend to rest and prepare for the craziness coming up in life.
I love clothing items that can be worn multiple ways and styles, and thisMona Dress is one of them! Although it is a little tighter than I would like across my hips, I dressed it up and dressed it down for two different looks. Read more to see how I styled this dress.
I'm a believer in basics. I love simple pieces that can be mixed and matched year round. But every outfit needs a pop, something unique that makes you look twice. For me, that usually comes in shoe form. Y'all know I love my shoes. Occasionally though, I find a bag that just makes a statement all on its own.
There’s nothing better than finding the perfect utility shirt that just screams fall. I scored this gorgeous blouse at Loft’s last 50% off sale and had to resist buying every one they had. Shop my look below and check out the other gorgeous styles I’m crushing on!
I have found the perfect fall flat at (you guessed it) Target! Loving the new brands that have been brought in, especially a new day! I’ve slowly started a collection and I can’t get enough of their adorable styles.
Of course I linked a few of my favorites for all ya'll.
These suede-esque flats are perfect for any fall outfit. Pair them with skinnies and a blouse, tights and a skirt, or leggings and an oversized tunic, and they’ll add the perfect pop of color and texture. Shop the look below!
I'm all about the tunics this time of year. Let me introduce you to one of my favorites: the 'Lucy' from Junky Trunk Boutique. This bad boy is currently available in 8 colors. I actually have 8 of them myself, however different colors have been offered over the years. But really, they are just that good. It comes in two sizing options: S/M (which I wear) or M/L. (I'm ususally a size 2 dress, or small for reference). I believe the biggest difference between the two sizes is in the arms, as they are fitted there. For just $25, you won't want to miss out on this one. With fitted sleeves and a loose bodice, it is flattering on absolutely everyone. Wear them with leggings, tights, knotted up with some skinnies, or wear it on its own! I'm 5'7 and (with a layering tank under to be safe) it totally works as a dress. It is just so versatile when it comes to styling Click here to shop this tunic! Use discount code JTBMCNAUGHT for 30% off.

Fall has finally come to Arizona and I couldn’t be more excited. Sweater weather is my favorite, and when our temperatures are between 50 and 85 degrees, it’s completely acceptable to break out the fall wear. Read more below to see some of the different ways I styled these sweaters and where to find them!
