Lightweight Jackets for Spring
Happy Friday! I had such a productive week ya’ll! Yesterday, I took the day off from work and lived that full time blogger life. 😉 I attended a spring trends fashion brunch over at Neiman Marcus, and ya’ll I wanted all the things. So many cute new trends coming out for spring, I can’t wait. I shared a few of the outfits on Instastories, so you may still catch them up there this morning.
Yesterday, I started the day in beautiful sheer spring top and then had to come home and change into a sweater for my afternoon errands. It was the exact day I needed a cute lightweight jacket. This early spring time of year is when lightweight jackets become such a necessity. Something you can toss over your outfit for a cool morning or evening, and then wrap around your waist or throw over your bag for the warmer parts of the day.
During the spring, I wear my denim jacket so much. It really is the perfect lightweight jacket. I decided I should probably look at getting one or two more especially since I can probably wear them during the winter here too. My search started with utility jackets, another perfect spring jacket, and led me to this gorgeous light gray suede long jacket. It’s so the perfect spring color. The suede is pretty light so not going to be too warm. The open drape front and rolled sleeves lend an effortless Spring vibe to this jacket. In addition to amping up your casual jeans looks, you can also wear this over a dress for the office.
If you are looking to add a lightweight jacket or two to your closet this season, I shared a few more favorites below in a variety of styles from weekend to office. I hope ya’ll have a fabulous weekend! I have several plans with friends including a Galentine’s Day celebration and a friends’ birthday brunch. I see plenty champagne in my future this weekend!

Casual Valentine’s Day Outfit
Alright ya’ll we are 10 days away from Valentine’s Day! Whether you are celebrating with friends or your significant other, it’s fun to get together and celebrate the ones you love. Today is for those of you looking for a more casual Valentine’s Day outfit. I feel like my plans usually lead to the more casual side with a nice meal at home or happy hour with girlfriends.
While I’m not opposed to an all black look like a shared a couple weeks ago, this casual outfit is all about keeping with holiday spirit. I love the two shades of pink and the feminine details of this top. I decided to pair this blush pink top with white jeans to really let the pinks pop. I also loving mixing different shades of pink. It’s not something that works with all colors, but it definitely works with different shades of pink. I usually opt to mix a lighter pink with a darker pink.
What are your Valentine’s Day plans? Do you plan to opt for the chic all black look or a more holiday inspired red and pink look?

Pantone Color of the Year 2019: Living Coral
Happy Friday! Every year, the Pantone Color Institute releases a color of the year. Last year, the color was Ultra Violet, a gorgeous deep purple. The pantone color of the year 2019 is living coral. A beautiful and vibrant color, and a color that has me ready for Spring and Summer!
A little back story on the Pantone color of the year. Each year the Pantone Color Institute looks at color trends and current culture to determine the perfect color to represent the year. This color will start making its way into the fashion and beauty world. You can be expecting to see more of this gorgeous shade in the next few seasons.
I love the description of this year’s color choice. The reasoning is filled with words like optimism, joy, authentic experiences, and playful. All things we can use a little more of in such a technology and social media filled world. A color to remind us to put down our phones and go enjoy life, live and in person!
What do you think of this year’s pantone color choice?
One way I love to wear this coral color is by pairing it with all white to create the perfect color pop. I grabbed my favorite white tank and skinny jeans and tossed on my coral cardigan for an easy grab and go casual look. You could dress this up with heels, but I opted for my brown booties to keep the look more casual. This outfit would be perfect for brunch or any casual daytime activities you have coming up.
I hope you all have a fabulous Super Bowl weekend! Thanks for stopping by this week!

Rodeo Outfit Without Cowboy Boots
Where are all my Texas readers at? This one’s for you! Well really this outfit would be cute for everyone, but it would also be perfect for Texas rodeo season! BBQ cookoffs, carnivals, fried food, bull riding, horses, concerts, and my fave, a wine garden all come together to create our Houston Rodeo. The event also helps students earn scholarships through animal and art auctions, so fun for a cause.
While I’m pretty sure it is a requirement to own a pair of cowboy boots if you live in the great state of Texas, I wanted to share a rodeo outfit without cowboy boots for those of you who haven’t found the perfect pair quite yet. FYI – Many online western sites have sales on boots for Texas residents during the month of February! An easy fix to those missing cowboy boots is to grab a cute pair of brown booties. Bonus points if they have a little western flair to them. Make sure they are comfy to walk in, as you will easily hit your 10K steps at the rodeo!
I love this red plaid dress for a full day of all the rodeo activities. It’s lightweight, and I think the red plaid is perfect for the rodeo. Since rodeo season takes place February through March, I usually tie a denim jacket around my waist to wear in the evening when the temps cool off. I also always opt for a crossbody or backpack style bag. I need my hands free for some wine and sausage on a stick.
If you have plans to be in Houston Feb 25-Mar 17, you should look into spending a little time at our rodeo. It’s really is a fun experience and always a good time!
