I love a velvet mini dress for holiday parties.  If you want a dressier look, a pair of red heels with this black mini dress would be absolute perfection.  I wanted to show you something a little different and styled this velvet mini dress with combat boots to create a bit more of a casual outfit.

This dress runs big, so I would size down.  The floral design does have black sheer areas, but it comes with a slip under to prevent any see through areas.  I love how the colors in the floral print kind of fade a little and then pop as you move and they catch different light. The boots really play against the dressy nature and material of the dress which creates a really fun and chic holiday party outfit.

Today I’m bringing you this Maeve muscle tank sweater styled two ways and in two color options. A sleeveless sweater has been essential in my closet this season as we experienced a pretty warm fall and even a few warm winter days.  If you want to make this dressier, you could pair with a skirt or slacks.  A leather pencil skirt with the leopard print version or a fun colorful skirt with the black version would be perfect for the office or a holiday party.

I styled both with jeans.  I love an all black outfit.   My Mary Jane ballet flats were the perfect addition to create a chic casual outfit.  Also, these flats are so comfy!  With the leopard print sweater, I grabbed a pair of relaxed jeans and heels for dressy casual outfit.

The muscle tank sweater comes in a few color options and has a bit of a boxy fit and oversized shoulder.  I found the fit to be true to size.

I’ve become a big fan of the Farm Rio brand from their prints to their silhouettes.  This Farm Rio peasant blouse is a great example of both of those.  I love their feminine silhouettes, and their pieces are cut really well to be very flattering.  I tend to like the ones that have a statement feature like a puffy statement sleeve.  If the silhouette is more classic then you can get your wow factor from a fun statement print.  Farm Rio also does an excellent job of mixing bold statement prints with statement silhouettes too.

This brown and black floral print is definitely on the tamer side of the prints.  I felt it had a good wear to the office with black slacks vibe, and I could toss on with some cute flared jeans to create a boho chic weekend outfit.

12 Fall Outfit Ideas for Work and Weekends

12 fall outfits for work and weekends | Lady in Violet Blog

I almost shared this post last week.  But then I realized so many of these fashion items would be on sale this week, and I decided to wait so you could score these items on a Black Friday Sale week.

I’ve rounded up some work outfits, weekend outfits, dressy casual outfits, super casual loungewear outfits, warm fall outfits, cold fall outfits, basically all the things you need in your closet this fall season.  Don’t worry many of these items will transition over into the winter season too.

I FINALLY added some new shoes that aren’t sneakers to my closet! I still wear my sneakers because I’m still chasing around a toddler, but I wanted some nicer options.  The Mary Jane ballet flats are my favorite shoe add.  I love that they can instantly dress up a jeans outfit or pair with a dress for the office.  I also added a new pair of black booties because the sole on my old favorite pair fell apart on me.  I’ve worn both already and found them both comfy for walking with no break in period needed.  They also both fit TTS.

I hope you find some good fashion picks in today’s post. Happy sale shopping and Happy Thanksgiving!
