70s Inspired Outfit: Bell Sleeve Top
Well it has been a long week! It started with me having a small cold which made me just want to come home and sleep after work and is ending with a little road trip to my first Aggie football game. I’m really excited to experience a Texas A&M game because I have heard it’s pretty cool. My college was not a big football school, so I feel like not many people went to games. I always wondered what it would be like to go to a game for a big school, and now I get to find out. In fashion preparation, I picked up a maroon coat because it’s supposed to be cold and a clear purse because apparently that’s a rule.
Enough football, let’s talk fashion. My look today definitely gives me a 70s inspired feel. This polka dot bell sleeve top with a semi-cropped banded waist made me think of the fashion of the 70s when I tried it on. I knew it needed to be paired with some flared jeans and tan suede heels to complete the outfit.
When trying to be inspired by past fashion trends, I try to give nods to the old but also keep the look present. You can do this with the print you choose or the accessories. I went with a smaller flare leg over a full bell bottom look, and went with a currently popular polka dot print.
You can instantly transform this top to current and chic by changing the jeans for a leather pencil skirt or skinny jeans. I love adding in a pop of color with my earrings. I think the big statement earrings were the perfect compliment to the overall look.
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Cozy Brown Sweater with Back Bow Detail
Hello Friday! Ya’ll this week went by pretty fast for me, which is a sign that the holidays are coming! I always think the end of the year flies by with all the holiday activities and shopping going on. If you are prepping your holiday gift shopping, stay tuned because my gift guides start next week! I know, I still can’t believe it’s already time to start our Christmas shopping.
Before we jump on that holiday, let’s go back one with this cute fall outfit that would be perfect for Thanksgiving! I’ve been majorly crushing on shades of brown this season. Earth tones have been big and give me all the fall feels! I’ve added so many earth tone tops to my closet including this cozy brown sweater. For more of a fall vibe, I paired this sweater with my brown suede booties. You could also opt for black jeans and tall black or brown boots for cooler winter weather.
My favorite part of this sweater has to be the cute bow detail on the back. It’s such a fun surprise detail and great if you wear your hair up on holidays. I know if I am helping in the kitchen, hair usually ends up pulled back which would showcase the cute bow detail! This sweater is super warm and cozy too! I wore it to work last Friday with a pair of brown OTK boots on one of our cold days, and I was so cozy all day!
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and thank you so much for spending some time with me this week!
