I don't know about you but I love a basic style that can be dressed up or dressed down. A simple button down dress can be worn so many different ways to create multiple looks. I love a neutral color so that I can pair it with cardigans, belts, boots, and so much more to create the style I'm aiming for. With this highs in the 60's I decided to go for a more "winter" look today.
Theselayering tanks are lifesavers with dresses that don't have the length needed. I pair them under so many dresses to add length and to also give the look a different feel with the lace added. Add a belt, cardi, OTK boots and viola - a winter look made for a sunny, cool, day.

Mind over matter, its exactly what it sounds like. It is the ability to overcome your physical limitations through willpower. This statement speaks so highly to me. Often times I am discouraged by my shoulder injury. It never stops spasming (literally 24/7 vibrations course through my upper body and right arm), it would be so easy to wallow in self pity. Why would I though? Why bring myself down, why share that negative energy with the world, henceforth bringing others down with you? Yes, it sucks. NO, I will not let it consume me. We all have something in our lives, physical or emotional. Its up to you on how you handle it all. Mind of matter, y'all.
We have all seen them at this point. Pointy toed, embellished with the perfect amount of class and sass. The Valentino T-Strap Pump. Aren't they beautiful? Not to mention they are available in 4 colors. If a $995 pricepoint is doable for you, more power to you! I mean, lets be real. We ALL want these shoes in our closet, even if its just to look at. But also, adulting. That pretty close to a home mortgage. Oh my, just look at the red ones. PS: I hear that they run small, order a 1/2 size up! Oh goodness, just all heart eyes.
I personally could never spend that much on shoes. So obvioooously, I had to find all the best dupes! 'Tis the season for... my favorite.... Holiday socks!! Great for a comfy lounging day at home, but perfectly functional for warmth or keeping your pants in place under those boots. I've linked a few of my favorite striped holiday socks for him and her below!
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!

All their sweaters are $25 and amazing! I linked a few of my favorites.

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!
