Gray & Brown Color Combo
Ya’ll, we have had a couple days of sweater weather here in Houston, and I am already ready for warmer weather to come back! ha! One thing I appreciate about our weather is that cold days are broken up with a few warm days, so we can ease into it. I was excited to start pulling out a few of my new sweaters.
This gray sweater inspired me to try out a new color combination, and I am obsessed. This gray and brown color combo is a little different and unexpected which is why I think it works so well! My brown suede heels almost perfectly match the brown in the sweaters, so they were the perfect compliment to this outfit.
When wearing two gray piecess, I opt for a dark shade and light shade. The contrast between the sweater and jeans is perfect. I added in my gray clutch to keep with the color theme and to add another gray shade to the mix. This sweater has a cozy, oversized fit and will be really cute with skinny jeans and tall boots too. You can also play with the pink color when you accessorize with some pink earrings or a pink purse.

Black & Gray Striped Long Cardigan
Hello Ladies! How was your weekend? Mine was filled with football, workouts, and lots of healthy eating. A few friends and I are doing a sugar detox this month, so my weekend meals and football snacks received a healthy makeover. The first week of my sugar detox left me super tired everyday, but Sunday I started noticing a little more energy and less cravings for junk food. So it seems to be working the way I had hoped.
Now let’s talk fashion! One of my favorite ways to instantly take a look from casual to dressy casual is with a pair of heels. For fall, a black pair of heels is perfect to dress up your casual looks a little. With casual outfits in mind, I try to find heels with texture, cutouts, or a cute detail to differentiate them from a normal black work pump. Although, I wear this pair to both work and on weekends.
I picked up this black and gray striped cardigan during the Nordstrom Sale. This color keeps going in and out of stock, but I did see it back last night. I love the thick, bold stripe pattern because it is a little different than my other solid cardigans. The black and gray color keeps it more neutral and helps it pair well with a few other colors like pink, burgundy, or emerald green. This cardigan would also be cute paired with a shift dress for the office.

Light Purple Blazer + Gray Denim
Happy December!!! Ya’ll I had the most productive weekend ever. I crossed so many items off my to do list, and it feels so good to be starting such a busy month ahead of the game. Here is hoping I can keep up the momentum and keep tackling my to do list, so when the holiday parties start I will be free and clear.
Speaking of holiday parties, I think today’s look would be perfect for a casual Christmas party, especially if you are looking to go sans the red and green. I’m obsessed with the loose long open front blazers. This light purple blazer is also the perfect color to carry you right through spring. It’s such an easy way to create a dressy casual look for a party or date night. To make this a little more festive, I added my silver metallic mule heels which will be making lots of appearances this holiday season.
I love this lavender color with gray and added in black cami to complete this look. You could also add in a sequin top or graphic tee too. To add an effortless chicness to your blazer look, try pushing up the sleeves. I think it something super simple that adds a little something extra to the overall look. The light purple shade of this blazer is currently 50% off (yay!), but I also linked the other colors too for you. It includes red if you want to be more festive, but they are not on sale. (boo)
I have lots of fun content headed to the blog this week including another gift guide, a holiday home tour, and the prettiest work look. Stay tuned to the blog for all the fun coming at you this week!

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?
