I think a sweater dress is the ultimate in cozy but still put together. I have been slowly building my sweater dress collection over the past few years. I love the v-neck on this one and the gradual color change too. Sweater dresses don’t really have a lot of shape, so I like that the lighter color helps broaden the shoulders a bit. I think the v design and shading creates a little shape with some eye trickery. You can also try belting the waist on solid color dresses to add a little shape. I always wear a slip underneath sweater dresses because they are a knit which can be a little see-through. For fall, I love pairing mine with booties and some layered necklaces. For winter, I plan on restyling this dress with some leggings and tall boots. You can dress the look up with a heeled boot or dress it down with a flat boot.
As I mentioned on Wednesday, I’m super excited for Adele’s new album released today!! If you need me today, I will be listening to it on constant repeat!! I’ll give ya’ll a little review on Monday. Although considering I have listened to the first song like a good million times already, I have a feeling I’m going to like the whole album! Have a good weekend ya’ll!

I looked at my calender this weekend and realized Thanksgiving is only two and half weeks away!! I felt like my blogiversary snuck up on me, and now the holidays are doing the same thing!! I decided to kind of theme this week with cute Thanksgiving outfit ideas to get you all set for the holiday. For Thanksgiving, I tend to lean more towards some form of a casual look. All three looks this week are casual, but different kinds of casual. If I had to name today’s, it would be relaxed casual. Whenever I head to my Grandma’s house, I tend to lean towards a more relaxed casual look like this one. Two reasons, one Grandma puts us grandkids to work! We help her prepare the food, set the table, clean dishes, and other odds and ends. Second, we tend to be a kick off our shoes and lounge around type family, so I like my outfit to be super comfy. The base of this look is simple a comfy tee and jeans. I’m obsessed with these essential tees from Banana Republic. I also don’t think I’m the only one because my size is always sold out in store. They are thick, soft, and I think the v-neckline is the perfect v. The long cardigan and booties in this look are my add-ons to layer on after all the work is done. This cardigan is so warm and cozy! It’s really thick and soft, so perfect for lounging around in on Thanksgiving while watching football or playing games. For my relaxed casual look, I also keep my jewelry simple. I went with some of my more everyday jewelry and only one bracelet because you can’t wash dishes with long necklaces and an arm stack. 🙂 Check back Wednesday for a more dressy-casual look, and I have my Christmas gift guide for him hitting the blog tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous week!

Well it rained almost all weekend again! I did however sneak out during a small break to snap today’s outfit photos because I have been so pumped to share this outfit with you. This plaid shirt and leather skirt were hanging next to each other in my closet, and it made me realize how perfect they would look together. I love how the camel brown of the skirt compliments the navy and green of the plaid perfectly! Since I was already dressing down this leather skirt with a flannel shirt, I decided to also toss on my new black booties. I have been eyeing these shoes since I first saw them this summer. I was in the market for some black booties under $100, but I kept circling back to these which are over that mark a little. I finally decided that if I’m still want them months later, I could justify going over my budget just a bit. I’m really happy I did because I am obsessed with these booties! I love that they are leather but have a suede look to them. They are really comfy too and fit true to size. I also liked the dip in the front of the shoe. Since I’m short, it helps create the illusion of length in my legs so I can wear them with skirts in addition to jeans.
My necklace was an anniversary gift. I love different and unique jewelry pieces, so this was perfect for me. The company uses reclaimed wood to create some really beautiful things from jewelry to home goods. You can even have items personalized, hello Christmas gifts!! Check back tomorrow for my first holiday gift guide of the season all about personalized and monogrammed gift ideas. I have also started a gift guide page to help you find the perfect gifts all season long, but more on that tomorrow!!

One of my favorite “I’m bored” activities is online window shopping. I love to head to online shopping sites and just peruse what they have available with no real intention to buy but just look. (Although somehow I usually end up buying something 🙂 )That is how I originally came across this boxy blouse. I was intrigued by both the shape and the print. I liked the oversized sleeve with a defined shape and the boxy fit of the body with an almost cropped top feel. The print is what really drew me in though. It reminded me a little of lightning strikes or tree roots. It is one of those prints that can act as both the statement and the under dog of an outfit. I was really torn on my favorite way to wear this boxy style top because it looks great with a skirt and skinny jeans. Don’t be surprised if you see this top styled again! Since the top is black and white, I loved bringing in color with my magenta skirt. This skirt color is sold out but I linked a super similar and under $20 version for you. I also have to mention that my top is only $17!! It is from Shein which is online site known for trendy fashion at a ridiculously affordable price! Despite the low price tag, I will say the quality on this blouse is top notch. This is my first piece from them, and I am definitely going back for more!!
