I definitely think I am more creative with my layering in winter. Warm but still cute, that’s my goal. I also like to mix and match my sweaters with pieces I wear from other seasons. Winter in Texas only lasts a couple months, so I don’t necessarily like to buy loads of sweaters. Instead I try to buy more solid color sweaters that I can mix in with my wardrobe and wear layered with other tops over and over again. The v-neckline on this sweater was perfect to pair with this tie neck blouse. I also love the stark contrast in color from the purple and the ivory. If you follow my instagram or saw my roundup on Monday, you know I love my skinny work pants, but I also love to pull out this flared pair. I think flared work pants are perfect when wearing a more slim fit top like with this fitted sweater or with a button down top. This is definitely a winter work outfit that has me excited to change out of my warm and cozy pajamas and head into the office. Well that and coffee, lots of coffee! 🙂

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.
