The title of this post may seem to be a bit of a bold statement, but it is 100% how I feel about this top!  I love the look of a button down shirt, but sometimes they can be a bit stiff. I sit at a desk all day.  I want my clothes to be comfortable AND professional.  That’s what I love about this top.  The fabric is this comfy semi-sheer crepe like material which is soft and moves.  I also like that it has two buttons on the arm.  You can wear the sleeves long on cold days or roll them up to 3/4 or a little higher on warmer days.   I mean come on, it’s like the versatility king of work shirts!  It also comes in a wide array of colors and patterns, so I have a feeling I will be buying more.  I decided to start with the striped version, because it’s a classic print that works well both for work and play.  Outside of work, I love to pair button down tops with denim and riding boots to create a bit of dressed up look for a Saturday evening dinner or a Friday Happy Hour.  By the way, these tops are buy one get the second 50% off right now!  I definitely want to get this one and probably a solid one.

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by the blog today!!

It’s no secret that I am not a big fan of winter.  I hate being cold!  My winter wardrobe game plan is always to stock up on cozy, warm, and comfy sweaters that are also cute.  I found this sweater at the Nordstrom Sale over the weekend.  I was drawn to the stripes, but when I saw the brand I knew I had to try it on.  It is the same brand as my white tee from this post.  The tee is soft and comfy, and this striped tee holds to that same soft and cozy feel.  I like the kind of distressed look around the necklace and the bottom of the top.  This top is going to perfect for lounging around the house or to toss on for some errand running.  I originally grabbed a small, but it was way too big.  I ended up going with the XS which is still nice and roomy.   I am definitely going to have to keep an eye on the Stem brand at Nordstrom for some future wardrobe adds.

This bag has been on my current cravings list for months!!  It was an unexpected Christmas gift, and I am so excited to finally own it.  I really wanted a tote like this one for traveling and conferences.  I love that is reversible with the other color being black.  It comes in a few other color options, including this set that is on sale!

If any bloggers out there are looking for a fun blog conference, Thrive Blog Conference is happening at the end of February in Houston.  Well technically The Woodlands, but almost Houston.  I am attending again this year and cannot wait for a fun networking and learning weekend!  This was the first blog conference I ever attended, and I made some amazing blog friendships and learned lots of valuable info that I still use today in my blog.  You can read more about my experience last year here or you can visit the conference site here.

They are here!! Remember when I mentioned my new OTK boots I ordered, they arrived last week!!  I can’t wait to wear these boots this winter.  I hope you were able to grab a pair when I first mentioned them, because they are sold out again.  It probably has something to do with the sweet under $100 price tag.  These boots are definitely a super trendy item, and not something I was ready to spend $200+ on.   It is always my thought process with trendy items.  What if it’s a one hit wonder trend or what if I decide it’s not for me?  My first pair of skinny jeans cost me like $20 when they were the hot new trend, and now I own like half a dozen or more pairs.   Anyway, these over the knee boots are pretty fabulous for the price.  One thing I wasn’t expecting was how tight they fit.   They are not an uncomfortable tight, more of a these aren’t going to fall down kind of tight.  These have a bootie at the base and the boot shaft is more added on material.  I think it helps give some structure to the ankle area of the boot.  The two main ways I plan to wear them is with dresses and skinny jeans.  I’m short, so I have to keep an eye on the length of what I pair them with.  This chunky knit sweater is the perfect tunic length for me.  If I go to long with the top, the proportions will be off and I may come off looking shorter.  If you are wearing a longer top, you may want to consider tucking it in.

I just picked up this sweater this weekend, while doing some New Year’s day shopping.  The color caught my eye immediately.  The knit is a mix of red, coral, and white.  It stood out among the sea of gray, blue, and black.  Don’t get me wrong, you know I love those colors, but I also like to grab new colors too.   It brings a little color versatility to my wardrobe.  I like this shade because I think it is going to work well with a few other colors  to give me some good versatility.  I hope ya’ll had a fun long weekend!  Thanks for stopping by today!
