White Wrap Blouse
Happy Friday! I don’t think there is a more classic and easy look than a white top with jeans and heels. It’s such a good combo to create a slightly dressy, but also casual and effortless outfit any time of year. With hight waist jeans growing in popularity, I have added a few shorter tops into my closet that pair well with this jean style.
This white wrap blouse is so cute with jeans and the silkier type material adds an instant dressiness to a jeans look. I opted to pair it with my tan suede heels to keep the overall look more classic. You could change it up with a fun color or print. I did still add a little bit of wow factor with my pink statement necklace. This top has the perfect neckline for short chunkier necklaces.
I also plan to layer this top under jackets and cardigans this fall and winter season. It will be cute with boots for a casual look or skirts and work slacks for an office outfit.
I hope ya’ll have a fabulous weekend!

Snakeskin Heels
Happy Friday friends!
These snakeskin heels where my Hello Lover moment of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I wanted a fun pair of heels for fall and saw these when I went to the store. I had already spent my budget, so I added these to my wish list as a maybe later item. Sure enough, a few of my items were cancelled, and these beauties made there way to my doorstep during the final week of the sale.
I could not be more happy with these fun heels. I love the chic and polished look of the print. I’m so picky with my animal prints, and this one is pretty darn perfect to me. I love the gray, black, and taupe colors in the print, because it mixes well with my wardrobe. I have worn these a few times to work, and they are pretty comfy. A little breaking in required, but I like the padding in them. I plan to pair them with all the things from jeans to dresses.
For a simple but chic look, I paired these heels with a classic black top and dark wash jeans. These high waist jeans are perfect with my shorter turtleneck. This outfit makes me think of the simplicity of an Audrey Hepburn outfit with a splash of a statement shoe over her ballet flats. This knit turtleneck will also pair well with pleated midi skirts for the office. I think it will work well with metallic skirts during holiday party season too!
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! Thanks for stopping by this week!

Flared Bootcut Jeans for Petites
Happy Happy Friday!! I’m so excited for the extra long weekend ahead. We had some storms sweep through Wednesday, and they left us with some pretty nice weather. I plan to take full advantage with pool and patio time. Tonight, I’m heading out to a little birthday dinner with my boyfriend. We are heading to a yummy Houston restaurant that we both have been wanting to try out. It should be the perfect start to the weekend!
Alright, where are all my petite friends at? I have finally found a cute pair of slightly flared jeans made for us petite gals. (Side Note: They come in regular length too.) I like dark wash jeans with as slight flare or bootcut leg. It’s a great jean for dressy casual events and business casual office attire. Most of the denim brands I tend to wear do not have petite sizing and alterations can change the look of the flare leg. I’ve been hearing good things about the affordable Wit & Wisdom denim brand at Nordstrom, so I decided to give this pair a try during the Anniversary Sale.
Y’all these jeans are so comfy!! I ordered a 2 which is my normal jean size, and I do think they feel the slightest bit loose which may have to do with their stretch material design. They aren’t baggy or anything. I’ve worn them multiple times now, and I have not noticed them stretching out or sagging. But if you are between sizes, you might want to consider going down. The length is perfect on me with a pair of heels, and so is the cute bootcut flare leg. These jeans are from their ab-solution line, so they also have a hidden elastic type waistband to help offer more support at the waist.
As for my cute off the shoulder top, it’s a convertible design so you can wear it as off the shoulder or a cowl neck. It’s kind of hard to get the off the shoulder version just right and to stay in place. The cowl neck look would be perfect for work and to partner with skirts. Anytime I see Gibson Cozy, I know I’m going to get chic and oh so soft and comfy. This one did not disappoint in softness!
Alright ya’ll have a fabulous weekend, and don’t forget to take advantage of some of those Labor Day Sales!

4th of July Outfit Idea
Hello Hello and welcome to Friday! It’s has been a crazy, busy, and fun week. Work has been really busy which I never really mind because it makes the work day go by faster. Wednesday night, my boyfriend and I went to a tasting event at McCormick and Schmick’s to sample their new menu. We ate so much good food that night. I’m now craving their chocolate silk pie!
This weekend is going to be pretty busy too. I’m heading to the lake on Saturday, and then Sunday I’m hosting a shopping party at Loft. If you are in the Houston area, I would love for you to stop by on Sunday, so we can meet and talk fashion. It’s going to be really fun!
Can you believe July is just around the corner? Do you have any 4th of July plans yet? I’m heading to Colorado with friends. I’ve never been, so I’m excited to travel somewhere new. I’m not quite sure what I will be wearing for the 4th, probably going to lean towards pretty casual. If you are heading somewhere a little dressier, I have the cutest 4th of July outfit idea for you.
This blue and white striped top is a subtle way to dress up for the 4th. It has the stripes and blue and white, but isn’t too over the top festive. I love the lace and ruffle details to add a little feminine flair to the look. I paired it with my white skinny jeans and my taupe block heels sandals for a dressier outfit. You could pair this top with white shorts and flat sandals or wedges for a dressed down look. If you want to make this look even more festive, you could change out my pink earrings for red ones.
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend, and I hope to see a few of you this Sunday at Loft!
