Oh Hello Friday! How I have missed you!! It is almost riding boots season here in Houston, and I cannot wait to finally get to wear these boots!! One thing about Texas weather is that it can be 50 or 60 in the morning and then in the high 80s in the afternoon. I like finding light layering tops like this one that I can wear during this fall season transition. I picked this one up a few weeks ago from J Crew and love all the layering potential it has for fall and winter. You can wear it under light jackets, cardigans, or cropped sweaters. It also looks just as great when worn by itself. This makes it perfect for our weather right now because I will need to wear it both layered and stand alone all in one day for our drastic weather changes. Ya’ll these riding boots are still on sale, but the size options in this color are going fast! If you have been considering them, I personally love them and plan on styling them on the blog until spring so you will have plenty of style inspiration coming at you.
Some of my jewelry is from my Rocksbox subscription. If you have never heard of it, you basically pay a monthly fee of $19 and borrow 3 pieces of jewelry for however long you want. I have been doing it for like 6 months now and still love it. I tend to request specific styles or even pieces I want to try out. For this box, I asked for a long pendant necklace. I was excited to see this one arrive because I have been considering purchasing one. There is no obligation to buy any of the jewelry. You just wear it for a few weeks and then send it back and receive new jewelry. I like getting to try out the different styles of jewelry that I have considered purchasing from other stores. This necklace for example retails at about $70, but I can purchase through Rocksbox for $57. BUT I have been eyeing a super similar style from Baublebar for $38. So while I love this one, I’ll probably end up going with the cheaper option I found a few weeks back. I like that I had the trial and run option though! You can try it for one month free with code KARENROCKXOXO. Happy Friday Ya’ll!! Thanks for visiting the blog this week and don’t forget to check back next week as Lady in Violet turns ONE!

When I originally went boot shopping, I was looking for a casual pair I could wear with my skinny jeans. I wanted a pair that would have a little room between the jean and boot, and I wanted them to hit just below the knee. With such specific wants, I really wanted to be able to try boots on in the store and not just order online. On a lunch break one day, I swung by Nordstrom to do a little boot shopping. I picked out these boots because visually they seemed to be exactly what I was looking for, but the added surprise was how cute they looked with my work dress. I love the casual aspect they gave to my swing dresses. I think this floral dress is my favorite to pair with these boots. It reminiscent of a boho chic vibe, but it also reminds me of a fun look for some Texas County Fair style. I grew up attending our county fair every year, and the look for me had to me a good mix of stylish and practical. One of the fair activities included walking through the animal barn to see my friends and family and their farm animals. You don’t know what you might be stepping through, and you definitely do not wear cute shoes to that. A great pair of riding boots like these would have been so perfect back in my high school days!! The county fair was also a popular date night activity with rides, dances, and a good ole BBQ Cookoff. This dress is perfect for that cute and feminine aspect of a fair outfit. If you are ever in the Houston area around the end of September, I recommend checking out the Fort Bend County Fair! If you are in the Dallas area this time of year, definitely check out the Texas State Fair. I went last year for the first time, and it is a fun experience from seeing Big Tex to all the delicious fried food! I hear this year there is fried lobster with champagne gravy. If you have been and tried it, I’d love to know what you thought of it!!

Happy First Day of Fall!! Okay, in Texas we are still about a month away from cool fall weather, but I figured I can still celebrate on the blog! When I first laid eyes on this scarf from Manoosh, I thought of this maroon dress. I love how the color palette of the scarf works with the wine color of the dress. Plus, the scarf is called Autumnscape, I mean it was meant for the first day of Autumn! I have mentioned Manoosh scarves before in this post. All of their scarves are based on abstract artwork. I always enjoy finding unique pieces, and these scarves definitely fit the one of a kind feel. Plaid and solid color scarves will be taking over soon, and I love that these Manoosh scarves have a different look to them. I was drawn to the earthy tones in this particular one, but their fall collection has even more pretty color options. These brown boots are a few years old and have some definite wear and tear on them, but they definitely come back to life with this earth-toned ensemble. I linked a similar pair for ya’ll above. Happy Wednesday and Happy Fall! Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

I read this post on Instagram the other day that said something like, I’m ready for cool fall temps, but once they get here I’m like I can’t wait for spring. That post was so me! Every year in September I am so ready for fall weather so I can start wearing all my fabulous fall fashion items, but after a few weeks I start to miss my dresses and wedges. If I had to pick my favorite look for fall, this is it! I love long tunics with skinny jeans and boots. This olive color is perfect for fall and will work perfect under a tan jacket this winter. Ya’ll these boots are officially back on sale for under $140! I haven’t had the chance to wear them outside of blog photos, but they area really comfortable. I like that they have room to tuck in my jeans. If you have a wider calf, they also come in a wide-calf version too. I am already trying to find ways to style these boots with some dresses, so I can start wearing on our next cool day. I originally tried them on with a dress, so I know they will be super cute with one.
My poor little pup had to have dental surgery yesterday to have her chipped tooth fixed. My plans this weekend are for lots of cuddles as she recovers and as we celebrate her 4th Birthday. I know she is going to love that she gets to eat nothing but wet food for a whole week while her stitches heal. We only feed her wet food on special occasions or when she has been a really good puppy. When we give it to her, it is like nothing else exists while she eats. Happy Friday Ya’ll and thanks for stopping by the blog this week!
