Gray Striped Ruffle Top
Hello!! How was your weekend? I finally made it out to my pool. We didn’t quite get to 80, but we did get to 73 outside and that was good enough for me! I also squeezed in an outdoor morning run on Sunday. I figured I should take advantage of the cool mornings because it will not be long until it’s too hot to run outside no matter how early you go.
Y’all how cute is this gray striped ruffle top! I love this outfit for a weekend night out or even a little date night. I added in my favorite block heel sandals and a few different pops of color to complete this look. The magenta and teal work so well together and really look perfect next to the gray.
You could also make this top work for daytime by trading in your jeans for a pair of white or black shorts and trading the heels for wedges or flat sandals. The material is really lightweight and the boxy style will be perfect for a hot summer day. I sized down to an XS because of the boxy fit of the top.
I hope you guys have a great week! Thank you so much for stopping by and don’t forget to check out the style link up at the end of today’s post!

Styling a Striped Cardigan for Spring
Happy Friday!! Who’s excited for this 3-day weekend?!?!?! I am so ready for it, and I have so much going on! My gal pal Lauren is getting married this weekend, and I have been looking forward to this wedding for months! Even more exciting, the wedding is formal attire, and I love any excuse to get all dolled up! I used Rent the Runway for my formal look, and my dress will be arriving today. I picked it out over a month ago, so I’m excited to see it person. Bonus, my BFF and I decided it would be fun to get our hair done too. It should be a fun day, and it will end with wedding cake! I LOVE wedding cake ya’ll!!
I’m also planning to take advantage of a few Presidents’ Day Sales with a little shopping. A few months ago, I majorly cut dairy and sugar out of my diet and really focused on more plant-based meals. (Probably why I’m so excited for that cake 😉 ) I did it for the health benefits, but bonus I also lost weight and need some new work pants. So Banana Republic and Loft , here I come. I have to go to the store and figure out new sizes, so I’m hoping the malls aren’t too crazy with sale shoppers.
We are finally starting to have Spring weather here in Houston. I know some of you are still dealing with snow, but our weather is supposed to be in the 70s almost all of next week. I’ve lived in Texas all my life, and I’m not the biggest fan of the cold winter weather. Needless to say, I am happy to see our winter almost over! We always get that one last sneak attack around the end of February though.
I figured with our warm week ahead that I would share a cute winter to spring transitional look. This outfit is a great example of how to wear a striped cardigan in Spring. This time of year, I am all about the layers. I also like each layer to look cute on it’s own. This cardigan is lightweight and could easily be worn over a colorful top too. The base layer is a plain white tee which with a slight front tuck would work without the cardigan too if the weather is too warm.
Ya’ll, I found my favorite color block sandals back in stock and on sale this year! These block heel sandals are the perfect compliment to so many outfits. I love them paired up with this striped cardigan. They add the perfect pop of color to the black and white look, plus the open toe sandal style makes this outfit even more Spring ready.
I hope ya’ll have a great weekend ahead, and thank so much for stopping by and reading!

Striped Top for Work & Play
Hello Ladies! I love finding tops that work so perfectly for both work and play. This tie front blouse is a perfect example. For work, I would pair this top with skinny pants for a look similar to this one or with a colorful pencil skirt. For date night or dinner with your girls, pair this look with black skinny jeans and statement earrings for a fun night out.
I love the loose fit of the blouse, and the tie waist detail allows you to still show a little shape. One thing worth noting, the front has a long slit down the middle, and you will need to wear a cami underneath it.

Asymmetrical Sweater & Link Up
Hello sweet friends! How was your weekend?? I launched my Holiday Gift Guide Series on Sunday, sharing a few gift ideas under $50. You can check it out here! I’m hoping to start posting an extra time each week, time permitting. So if you are bored on Sunday or want something to peruse, you can pop on over and see if I have anything going on. I have some fun post ideas in the works.
Okay, how perfect would this rust colored asymmetrical sweater be for Thanksgiving!! The color just screams fall and Thanksgiving. The asymmetrical design of the hem really caught my eye, because it was a little different than your average crew neck ribbed sweater. One feature I really like is the slits on the sleeves. I love my sleeves to be a bit on the longer side, and the slits help keep the sleeves out of your way when using your hands. I need to find more sweaters like this ASAP!
Don’t forget it’s Style File Link Up Day! Scroll on down to share your latest outfit post or to find more holiday outfit ideas! Thanks for stopping by ya’ll!
