Layering is a fall and winter staple for me! One of my favorite ways to layer is to pair short sweaters with longer tops. I love using some of my summer tops and tanks to get a few extra out of season wears from them. I also love to layer printed blouses under solid sweaters! I love to see the print peeking out at the bottom and at the end of the sleeves. You can also roll back the sleeves on the bottom shirt so more of the print shows. I paired the layered look with my black flared skirt. At last check it was sold out, so I also linked a similar version. This skirt is another closet staple for me that I wear year round! You may remember me talking about buying these boots a week or two ago. I have worn them a couple times and they are really comfortable! They have a slight padding in the bottom which was honestly weird when I first put my foot in, but I think it helps with the comfy factor. I have worn them with both dresses and jeans, and they are super cute with both! Don’t worry these will be all over the blog this winter, so you will see them styled different ways quite a bit! If you are still looking for some Thanksgiving outfit ideas, this look would definitely be a cute one!

The Perfect Thanksgiving Outfit
| DETAILS |
OLD NAVY Classic V-Neck Sweater in Blackberry Jamming | WHBM Skinny Jeans | ENZO ANGIOLINI Holdyn Over the Knee Boots [ON SALE HERE] | HENRI BENDEL c/o West 57th Satchel | KENDRA SCOTT Harlie Necklace, Grady Bracelet | GORJANA Zion Necklace, Chloe Studs | BAUBLEBAR Slim Hinge Bangle | RAYBAN Aviator Sunglasses | ESSIE Nail Polish in Plumberry | MAC Lipstick in Craving
Of all three looks this week, I think this just might be my perfect Thanksgiving outfit! A light sweater, tall boots, and a little statement jewelry is one of my go-to fall outfits. I love the casual aspect of this outfit with the pullover sweater and jeans. These riding boots are just slightly over the knee which creates a bit of a different look than my normal riding boots. I purchased these boots last fall, but I found them still available! While the boots keep this look a little dressed down, I made sure to still add a little something sparkly with my Harlie necklace. I love the iridescent white stone from Kendra Scott. At times you only see a white stone, but as you move and the light hits it you see the different colors bouncing off of it. My pictures honestly do not do this beautiful stone its justice! This look is a little bit relaxed casual and a little bit dressed up casual which is why for me it is just perfect!
I hope you enjoyed all the Thanksgiving outfit inspiration this week, and hopefully found a few ideas for the holiday or just for the fall season. I am off to the Nutcracker Market today with some girlfriends. The market is huge and amazing, and one of my favorite things to do in Houston in November. I take off work every year to attend. The market is filled with boutiques, holiday decorations, gift ideas, and food! The ticket and even some of the sales benefit the Houston Ballet Foundation. If you live in Houston, the market runs through Sunday and is definitely a fun holiday experience!!

I have really been wanting a black pair of riding boots this season. With all the sales going on right now, I decided it was a good time to buy! I really wanted a pair of Tory Burch riding boots, but at over $300 it was just not in my price range right now, but one day! I hit up the Nordstrom Fall Sale to see if they had any contenders closer to the $100 mark. I was torn between #6 and #7. I turned to my bestie to help settle the tie-breaker. She owns #6 and loves them!! I was all set to buy when I checked the boot shaft height. I’m only 5’3″, so I try to buy boots in the 15 inch range. The Sam Edelman boots are just over 16 which is just a bit too tall for me. I decided to look around the site once more and found the perfect exactly what I was looking for boot and it was on sale! The Corso Como was the exact smooth leather look I wanted, and a boot shaft height of just under 15 inches! Riding boots are definitely a staple of my fall and winter wardrobe! I pair them with leggings, skinny jeans, and dresses. I’m really excited to welcome this new pair to my shoe family! 🙂

Let the layering begin! Get ready because in fall and winter I love to layer! One item I had to add to my closet this fall was a puffer type vest. I didn’t really want it to be puffy, but just that look. I love this quilted vest from Old Navy! It is thin and lightweight which is perfect for a Texas fall (aka it’s still 80 outside today)! This vest comes in two other colors, but I decided to go with this neutral cream color, so I could mix and match with more tops and dresses. I’m really excited to toss this vest on over some of my swing dresses with boots later this year!
Another fun way to layer is with some boot socks. I kind of own quite a few pairs of knee-high socks. I love wearing them around the house this time of year with shorts. It’s kind of my early fall and sometimes winter loungewear style. I also really like to pair them with my boots for a fun peek of color at the top. I like that if I have to take my shoes off at a friend’s house, I’m going to have some cute socks underneath and not some plain ol’ white ones. Chrissy’s Knee High Socks is one of the best online sites whether you want solid, striped, or festive! My Instagram followers may have seen me sporting some striped ones a few weeks ago when the Hurricane kept me cooped up in my house all weekend. I also have some fun seasonal ones and will probably add a Christmas pair this year! Most pairs are around the $8-$9 range and would make really great stocking stuffers! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by the blog today!!
