When I originally ordered this  top I envisioned how amazing it would look with my black skinny jeans and wedges for spring.  I also had visions of pairing it with black dress shorts for summer and my favorite skinny work pants for the office.  The day it arrived I was wearing  my black pencil skirt, so I tried them on together.  The two went together seamlessly.   I love versatile pieces and this top is the epitome of office chic to weekend glam!  I was really drawn to the small print down the middle of this top.  With versatile pieces, you tend to think solid colors, so to find one with a small print was exciting!  I think the straight line will look really cool when mixed with a long black or gray cardigan, so I can keep wearing this top on into fall later this year.   Untucked this top is about tunic length, and looks AMAZING with skinny jeans!!  Yeah I know, I get ridiculously excited when I find a super versatile piece!!

Mint Julep Boutique has tons of gorgeous and versatile pieces and do not even get me started on their fabulous dress section!!  AND THE BEST PART, Mint Julep Boutique is going to give one of my readers a $25 gift card!!  The giveaway will run until Sunday and is open to US Residents only.  Enter using the Rafflecopter below, the winner will be announced on the blog next week. Good Luck!

When it comes to a girl’s night out in winter, my top goal is stay warm!  One of my winter pet peeves is that I usually end up covering up a really cute outfit with a large wool coat and a scarf.  My mission last year was to invest in a good quality leather jacket that I could wear for many years to come.  I love how a leather jacket can take an everyday tunic and give it that rocker edge for a night out. It enhances the outfit you are wearing versus hiding it.   Most high quality leather jackets will cost you about $200-400, but if you wait for the right sale you can find some really great deals!  I picked this one up during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale for almost $100 off!!  With spring styles about to hit stores, now is a really good time to pick up a leather jacket if you have been thinking about one!  The one I am wearing is sold out, but I linked some other awesome leather jackets I found that are also on sale!!

I love how an outfit can transform your mood.  Whether it be because you have a job interview, a big work presentation, or just because you are feeling a little down in the dumps, putting on the perfect outfit can change your attitude and say, “Today I am kicking butt and taking names – this girl means business!”  That is exactly how I feel in this outfit!  While for each person that outfit may be a little different, this combo is it for me.  I definitely think black is my power color.  I always feel strong and oh so chic in that color.   I also always feel more confident in a sleek great fitting pencil skirt.  I love a full midi skirt, but I have an obsession with pencil skirts!  I am also a huge shoe lover, so the power piece for me is always in the shoes!  I could live in these Enzo Angiolini pumps.  You have seen them on the blog oh so many times, but it is because they are such an amazing shoe!  They go with both pants and skirts, and are pretty comfortable.   If you feel strong and confident in what you have on, I think nothing will stand in your way.  What is your favorite thing to wear when you need a little confidence boost?

One of my favorite weekend activites is brunch with my girlfriends!  Champagne, gossip, good food – what’s not to love!  My girlfriends and I like to hit up different spots all around the Houston area, always looking to try something new.   For brunch with my girls, I try to keep my look simple, casual and chic.  This blouse was on my must buy list when I hit the Cyber Monday sales this year.  I love the effortless look a silk blouse has when paired with skinny jeans.  You know I love loose and flowing tops! This one gives me that feel, while still having a little structure.  I also love the cream color because it can be paired with so many things!  For work, I can wear this blouse under cardigans and sweaters, or even under a sleeveless dress.  I definitely need more silk blouses!  Fun fact about my clutch, it is actually a crossbody.  You have seen me wear it before here.  The strap is removable and converts into a nice little clutch.  I also have to mention these shoes!  I love the cutouts on them!  I debated over these shoes for months!  I had fallen in love with a picture of them online and was not sure if I would like the look of the cutouts once I put the shoe on.  I took the plunge and purchased the nude color (these also come in black) and have been in love!  I really like how they look with a cuffed jean, adding a little glamour to an otherwise casual look.  I also like how they sort of look like a bootie, but when you take a second look you realize oh wait those are heels!  I’m looking forward to pairing these with some fun dresses this spring.  I am ready for brunch, bring me a mimosa!!  I am also sooo ready for this nice long three day weekend!  AND the sun finally came out in Houston yesterday, so it is definitely going to be the perfect brunch weather!   Have a fabulous weekend!
