A Cardigan, A Coat, A Casual Coatigan
We survived Thanksgiving and Cyber Week Sales, and now we move on to the Christmas season. I love the Christmas season, the music, lights, decor, Hallmark movies, oh it’s so fun! I’m planning a little bit different holiday content this year. I’m kind of excited about it, so stay tuned as I share a little bit of my love of the Christmas season with you alongside the fabulous outfit posts of course.
We are currently in a mix of weather over here, so all the layers are necessary. I have purchased a couple cardigan coats before, or as they are becoming know the coatigan. It’s a way to create a slightly dressier look to the normal cardigan without the weight of a coat. It’s perfect for our in between weather!
This casual coatigan has a blazer like feel with the lapel lines on the front. The salt and pepper dark gray make it work with both colors and neutrals. It would be really cute over a dress too. I loved pairing it with the white and light gray to really pull out the flecks of white in the knit. I went a little more casual with this look by adding my black booties, but a pair of black or red heels could easily dress the look up a bit.
I hope your week is going well and thanks for stopping by!!

Casual Holiday Party Outfit
Ready to start planning those holiday outfits? I have lots of outfit inspiration coming to you for Thanksgiving and Christmas over the next few weeks. For the holidays, I try to put outfits together that can also be worn or restyled for everyday wear. Originally, I picked out this top as a cute date night top. I love it paired with jeans for a dressy casual outfit, perfect for a casual Friday night out with that special someone or a group of your favorite ladies. You can pair it with a skirt to dress it up and wear to a nicer event. I think it would look like perfection with a black leather pencil skirt. You can easily pair this top with any color, but I couldn’t resist pairing it with my new metallic red heels and red statement earrings. It’s an easy way to transform a date night look into a casual holiday party outfit.
Well friends, freezing temps are finally hitting Houston. Well almost freezing at least. I am so not the biggest cold weather fan, and I’ve already given in and turned on my heater. I am excited to pull out a few sweaters and my boots again though. I enjoy the cold weather for a few fashion filled days, and then I’m over it. Luckily in Houston, the weather this time of year is all over the place. It’ll probably shorts and sandals weather here soon. 😉 I hope ya’ll have a great week, and be sure to check back later this week for the start of my Holiday Gift Guides!

Fall Trends: Metallic Heels + NORDSTROM GIVEAWAY
Hello friends! I am so excited to share this outfit with ya’ll today! I’m so obsessed with metallic heels, and these silver mules are an absolute shoe lover’s dream. This is my second pair of silver metallic heels. The first pair was from a super affordable pair from DSW to allow me to try the trend out. I loved them, but they had a low kitten heel which is not always my thing as you probably have realized over the years.
I picked up these metallic silver mules a few months ago during the Shopbop friends and family sale, so it brought the price down a little bit. This brand is one of my favorites for stylish, comfy, and quality. I own about 3 or 4 pairs from them, and all of them hold up to a night on your feet. I love a mule style heel too. They can be a little difficult to balance in with such a high heel at first, but with time you will adjust. The silver is like a crackled metallic. It is GORGEOUS in person.
When you think metallic heels, I feel a super dressy look immediately comes to mind. I decided to show you a little more casual way to wear this fall trend with my favorite gray jeans and this beautiful floral print top (which FYI is on sale!) All the grays play together so well in this outfit. I think it really pulls the pink and gray out of the top. The metallic heels are a great way to add a little something extra to your casual looks this fall and winter. I love this outfit for brunch or even as a Thankgiving outfit.
What do you think about metallic heels? Love them or not so much?

Instagram Roundup: September & October
Hello friends! How was your weekend? Mine was productive and busy, filled with errands and crossing items off my to do list. It always feels so good to have one of those get all the things done weekends. It’s been a bit since I shared an Instagram roundup, and I’m hoping to do this monthly or every couple of months. I love showcasing some of my personal favorite outfits from the gram for those of you who don’t use it or who do and want the outfit details without LiketoKnow.it.
My September and October roundup is filled with fall outfit ideas for work, weekend, and date night. Our fall so far has been mostly warm and these outfits definitely reflect that! I share more daily outfits in Instastories. If you don’t watch or have Instagram, you can see most of these daily outfits on my Shop Instagram page. You just click the pic and the outfit details will open up. I upload all the info there for easy access. Enjoy the fall outfit inspiration and hope you have a fabulous Halloween week!
