I cannot believe Christmas is just around the corner! I need to get started on my shopping like yesterday. I know I’m probably a little behind compared to some people. Over the next few weeks, I will be dedicating one post a week to great holiday gift ideas! First up today, gifts for her. When putting this list together, I thought what I would buy my sister, my best friend or my aunt. I personally own this exact elephant pouf and love it. Stella & Dot has different fabric designs to fit every personality. I have a small obsession with elephants, so when I saw this print I gravitated to it immediately! I also have several pairs of Kendra Scott Elle earrings and love the lightweight feel of them. They also come in an array of colors to suit everyone. I am not a big watch wearer, but I have loved the color combo of this Michael Kors one for quite some time. I also have several friends who love Michael Kors watches so much they own multiple. I always think you know something is good, when someone buys more than one. Who will you be shopping for this season and what gift guides would you like to see on the blog? Let me know in the comments below.

I love a good throw on and go dress, and sweater dresses are the perfect throw on and go. For a dress to fall in this category for me, it has to meet one big requirement, NO IRONING! Sweater dresses definitely meet this requirement, and they look great with booties, boots, flats, and pumps. When it gets colder, I love throwing on some tights or leggings and wearing tall riding boots with them. You can just as easily dress them up or down depending on your shoes or how you accessorize. Oh the possibilities seem endless! I like that this dress is a simple dark gray color, because it gives me lots of options when changing the accessories to create a new look. Just changing to a different colored scarf, or no scarf with a long silver pendant necklace can give me a whole new look. If you have read past posts then you know, the more wears and looks I can get out of something the happier it makes me! Thanks for stopping by and Happy Veteran’s Day!

Layering for Fall

The Arctic Outbreak is coming! I love the names they give cold fronts these days. It’s time to start layering up this week! One of my favorite layering combos for work is a button down shirt under a sweater. I tend to layer a print button down under a solid color sweater. I like using this black and white check top as my bottom layer, because I can use it under an array of colors throughout the season. I just recently purchased these skinny leg work pants, and I am in love! Black skinny jeans are one of my favorite things to wear, so black skinny work pants seemed like such an obvious purchase that I can’t believe I had not made it yet. These have diagonal zipper pockets at the hips, so they feel a little trendier than your average work pants. Don’t be surprised if these pants pop up again in upcoming posts! I am also loving these shoes. They have become one of my go to shoes with skinny pants. I love the way the cross-strap hits just perfectly at the bottom of the pants. They are also really comfortable! When I first tried them on in store, I was worried about the back of the shoe rubbing my heel. I haven’t had any problems with this, and these are quickly turning into one of my most comfortable pairs of black work pumps! Thanks for stopping by and Happy Monday!

I have talked in previous posts about my love for getting multiple uses out of my clothes, and today I am sharing just how I do it. You may be surprised at just how easy it can be! I love taking a simple basic dress and dressing it either up or down for night or day. This dress has been styled three ways – one night look, one day look, and one look I call my county fair cook-off look. If you are not from Texas, that is like a giant BBQ party. To take this dress to cocktails or a dinner with friends, I added a black leather jacket, black booties, silver jewelry and red lips. You almost forget there is such a plain dress underneath! My day look for errand running is adding flats and a military jacket. This dress is loose fitting and comfy and goes great with flats and an oversized military jacket to enhance the casual comfy feel of the dress. My county fair cook-off look adds a jean jacket and some cowboy boots, of course. Maybe it is because I am a born and raised Texas girl, but I think just about every dress looks great with boots and a jean jacket. Just by pretty much changing my jacket and shoes, I will get three different looks out of this dress. Bonus fourth look, you can wear this dress all by itself with a pair of black flip flops or flats. HAPPY FRIDAY and thanks for stopping by!
