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?

The Little Black Dress You Will Wear All Holiday Season

Little black dress you will wear all holiday season | Workwear | Houston Fashion Blogger Lady in Violet

Okay, I’m pretty sure I have found the perfect little black dress you will wear all holiday season.  This dress will take you from work to date night, happy hour, or post work event seamlessly.  It would also be perfect to wear to an office holiday party or dinner party. Overall, I would wear this outfit to work exactly as is except I would probably go with a little less glam earring choice like studs or simple hoops.  Transitioning this dress from day to night can be easy as changing out your accessories. You can add a pair of statement earrings like I did in this post.  Changing out your heels to a fun colorful pair like red for a holiday party or date night is another simple swap.  Metallic heels are so popular right now and would be perfect for an event or happy hour.

I have such a weakness for little black dresses that can work so perfectly in a variety of situations with just a few accessory swaps.  I love this dress for the holidays because the calendar is filled with parties and events and having one dress for all of them can be good for your budget.  This dress can be glammed up or kept very simple to work in a variety of parties from cocktail to Thanksgiving dinner to casual post work drinks with friends.  If you want one dress that will carry you from fall to winter, I found it!

Speaking of holiday parties, I am headed to a fun Halloween party this weekend!  I’m so excited to be gathered with all my friends and catch up.  I’m a huge fan of dressing up and playing with fun makeup ideas, and so are many of my friends.  I can’t wait to see what everyone wears this year.  I hope ya’ll have a fabulous weekend and thanks for stopping by!

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!

Ivory One Shoulder Sweater

Hello Ladies!  Anyone else super excited to see Friday arrive?  It has been the busiest work week, and I’m so excited for a fun and relaxing weekend.  It is officially boots and sweater season here in Houston, so I’m excited to pull out some old favorites and a few new loves this weekend.

If you put away your white jeans after Labor Day, pull them back out!  A monochromatic winter white look is one of my faves after my black and gray looks.  It has a chic and sophisticated, dressed up feel to it.  This ivory one shoulder sweater is so cozy and soft!  I’m obsessed with all things one shoulder right now and trying not to buy all of them.  You could also pair this sweater with black or dark blue jeans.  If you are a fan of colored jeans, I think burgundy and emerald green would go well with this ivory color.  This one shoulder top also comes in black.

At the time I wrote this post yesterday, these boots were on sale!! Stuart Weitzman boots are definitely an investment piece because of the price.  Right now, these slouchy boots are 40% off which makes them the same price I paid during the Anniversary Sale!  I love these boots.  I have worn them a couple times now, and I’m really happy I splurged on them.  I’m 5’3 and I think the shaft height is perfect for me landing just under the knee.  I’ve worn them with dresses and jeans, perfect with both.  If you would like something similar with a lower price, I found this one with a slightly higher shaft height but pretty identical.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and thanks for stopping by!
