Work Wear: Button Pencil Skirt & Link Up
Good Morning! First off, THANK YOU for all of your sweet comments last week. With the events unfolding here in Houston, I decided to take the week off from blogging. Every few days I would check in on the blog and loved reading all of your messages. The Texas Gulf coast is slowly entering recovery mode. Some areas are still experiencing flooding as the water flows through rivers and bayous to head off into the Gulf of Mexico. Texas has a long road of recovery ahead of us. It has been wonderful seeing people drop everything to go help friends and strangers repair homes.
I decided to ease back into sharing outfits on the blog this week. I love this little space of mine. The break was necessary, but I’m ready to get back to it. I’m starting off with this cute little work outfit. A few weeks ago, I headed into Loft during one of their 40% off sales and found this gorgeous blue button pencil skirt. I was drawn to the color and loved the button details. It’s a wrap skirt design, and perfect for the office. Sizing Note: I’m wearing the petite.
Ya’ll Loft might be my new favorite place for soft and cozy tees that are not super see through. I purchased this gray tank earlier this summer. I’ve loved wearing it so much that I decided to buy the tee version in black. Because a black tee is the perfect year round basic. It’s the perfect compliment to this skirt for a cute work wear outfit. I have also paired it with white shorts (as seen here) for a more casual look.
It’s also Style File Link Up day, so scroll on down for more outfit inspiration. Thanks for stopping by!

Burgundy Floral Blouse for Work & Play + Link Up
Hi! I hope you all had a good weekend! I purchased this burgundy floral blouse during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, because I felt it had some good versatility to it. It’s lightweight so seasonally it can work in hot summer weather, but the the colors are perfect for fall. Also Texas fall is still warm, so the lightweight aspect helps there too.
I also love the kind of boxier design of the top to perfectly pair with my black skinny jeans and heels for a dressier weekend outfit. For a super similar work version of this outfit, you can pair this top with black skinny slacks like my go to pair. I actually wore that look to work recently. You can also tuck this top into a pencil skirt for an additional work look. I also really want to pair this top with gray jeans for another casual look.
The back of this top has a cute little v cutout detail, and you can still wear a regular bra with it. I think it’s a cute detail if you want to wear your hair up. Also, this top also comes in black if you need a really good basic black top for work.
Alright ya’ll it’s Style File Link Up Day so keep scrolling for more outfit inspiration, and thanks for swinging by today!

Red Off the Shoulder Blouse + LINK UP
Hello lovelies!! So about a month or so ago, I was reading an article about Victoria Beckham, one of my celebrity style faves. She talked about colors affecting your mood, and red being happy, optimistic, and strong. She was wearing a red dress at the time for one of her collection launches at Saks.
I really liked the idea of color boosting your mood and making you feel strong, powerful and a little happy too. It was on my mind when I was trying to decide on which color to buy this gorgeous top in. It comes in 14 different colors and prints. I saw the red, and my mind thought back to that article and said yep I’m getting this in red.
I love off the shoulder tops that have some support at the neckline. It holds them in place, so no worries about keeping your top up. The flowy chiffon material is so pretty and moves really well. It is slightly sheer in the body portion. I didn’t feel like I needed anything under the red, but a lighter shade might need something. Bonus by the way, this top is currently on sale for 40% off!
Another good thing about this red off the shoulder blouse, it is going to transition perfectly into fall with some black jeans.
Alright you guys, it’s Style File Link Up day!!! Keep on scrolling to share a little style inspiration or to check out more outfit ideas. Thanks for stopping by ya’ll.

Casual Navy Dress + Peep Toe Booties
Hello friends! I hope your week has gone well, and you are gearing up for a fun end of summer weekend! Just a few short weeks until September and all the fall things begin. It’s also time to start putting together outfit ideas that can work for transitioning from summer to fall.
This casual navy dress is perfect for that in between time of year. It’s lightweight and loose fitting allowing you to stay cool for the warmer parts of the day, but also long sleeve for a cooler night.
Ya’ll, how cute are these booties with a dress. You may remember me wearing them with jeans a couple weeks ago in this post. I love them styled both ways. Peep toe booties have become one of my must haves for warm summer and fall days when you still need a little breathing room for your feet.
What are some of your favorite things to wear during the summer to fall transitional weather? I hope ya’ll have a fun weekend, and thanks so much for stopping by today!
