Instagram Roundup
Hey Ya’ll and Happy Friday!! Are you ready for Valentine’s Weekend?? We are heading to one of our favorite restaurants, Uchi. They serve all small plate dishes, and all the items we have tried are always delicious!! I’m still up in the air on what I’m wearing, but I will try to remember to snap a pic and share on Instagram. We notoriously overeat when we go to Uchi, so I know I will be in something comfy but still cute and dressy. If you need some outfit ideas for yourself, check back on this post and this one for a couple ideas.
I’m also excited because I am off Monday for President’s Day, so I have a fabulous 3-day weekend ahead of me!! I don’t really have any plans Monday, but to relax and get a few things around the house done. Oh and a little sale shopping too! I will add a little President’s Day Sale roundup at the end of my post Monday, so be sure to check back!
On to today’s post, I am sharing another huge Instagram Roundup with you. I wanted to hurry and get this up, because many of these items are starting to sell out since the winter season is ending. Some are already sold out, some are on sale, and some are only available in different colors. If you use Instagram, you can always shop all these looks using LiketoKnow.it and have emails with all the details sent straight to your inbox. You can learn more about how it works in this post.

These last two aren’t outfit photos, but they are from my Instagram. I thought I would give you a tiny peek into what else I share on my Instagram feed besides clothes. A bit of a look into blogger life behind the scenes. One of the perks of being a blogger is private blogger events like the two below. Recently, I was invited to Drybar for a blowout and champagne. It was my first blowout ever, and it was really fun! We learned all about he products and services they offer at the salon. A few weeks later, I was invited to a private dinner to check out Brian Gavin Diamonds and learn more about this local family owned business. All the Gavins including Brian himself were in attendance. We also were allowed to try on some of the jewels too! Thanks for stopping by the blog this week, and I hope you have a fabulous weekend!!

I am 100% writing this while watching the Super Bowl, the 4th quarter to be exact. While I was kind of rooting for both teams, I thought Carolina was going to easily run away with the game. Imagine my shock to be sitting here with Denver about to win. I am still happy if Denver wins for Peyton Manning. He definitely deserves it!
But enough football, let’s talk this fab winter office outfit. I don’t own too many turtlenecks because I find some uncomfortable. Especially since we haven’t really had a good winter here yet. The turtleneck portion of this one is a bit loose though which makes it a bit more comfy and wonderfully warm on cold days. I really like pairing a longer sweater with my flared skirt to tame the flare a bit. It kind of creates a different silhouette for the skirt. I also added my black tights I shared last week. I love pairing my black tights with these Elaine Turner dress booties. They are perfect for the office! I bought these last year, so I linked a similar pair for you above. I also went with my new Jetsetter mini because I wanted to show that this cute pink bag can work for both weekend casual and office chic.
And with the end of this post, the Denver Broncos and Peyton Manning have won the Super Bowl! Now to start the countdown until next football season and the next Super Bowl which is here in Houston!

Since last week I shared a evening rodeo outfit, this week I wanted to give you a outfit to wear during the day. Yep, I pulled out my cowboy boots for this one! I love boots that are a little more simple with the stitching being a neutral color. I also really like the worn in look of some cowboy boots. You know a “I totally did some farm work in these” look. 🙂 One of my favorite things about cowboy boots are the beautiful designs on the boot shaft. It adds such a great detail to the boot and makes each pair unique and different. Cowboy boots are pricey, easily starting around $150 and going up from there. If you are in the Houston area, some of the local western wear shops will start having sales on all things rodeo soon. It’s a great time to buy a pair of boots. I also created a little widget for you at the bottom of this post with more boots available online.
While comfy walking shoes are a must for a full day at the rodeo, light layers are also important. The rodeo hosts both indoor and outdoor events, so I like having a light jacket with me in case the indoor areas are cold. Plus, our rodeo weather sometimes is a little cool at night since it is in March. I love the idea of using a chambray shirt as more of a jacket in this look. During the day, you can easily tie the chambray top around your waist if this happens to be a warmer day. At night or if it’s a cool spring day, you can wear just like this. Using a chambray as more of a jacket, you will not have to tote a bulky jacket around all day. I have a floral tunic on underneath it. Florals and plaids always make me think western wear and rodeo. I also highly recommend a cross-body purse for the rodeo!! The place is crowded and a small bag makes it easier to maneuver through crowds, plus it frees your hands for drinks, food, and shopping!
