The Almost Cashmere Sweater
| OUTFIT DETAILS |
HALOGEN Cashmere/Wool Blend Sweater (I’m wearing the Petite) | CASLON Gray Skinny Jeans | CHARLES BY CHARLES DAVID Lace Up Heels | JULIE VOS Long Pendant Necklace | BAUBLEBAR c/o Venette Drops | HENRI BENDEL Cuff Bracelet | Lips: MAC Craving | Nails: ESSIE c/o Go with the Flowy
One sweater I have always heard is worth the splurge is a cashmere sweater, but I just haven’t been able to spend the often $200+ price tag yet. Probably because I live in Texas and winter only lasts about a month or two. I mean we had record high temps yesterday, and I considered going to the pool on Monday. So…..
I took a baby step towards the splurge though over Black Friday and bought this wool/cashmere blend sweater for a steal of a price. The black keeps selling out, but a few other colors remain. This sweater is still really soft and warm, but for like half the cost of full cashmere. My only semi-downside to this sweater is the slits on the side are high which means I have to wear a tank underneath it. You could mix it up a little and put a fun color to peek through the sides. I went with black because I bought this sweater with the idea of pairing it with my new gray jeans. If an all black look is my go to, then black and gray is it’s close best friend. Love this color combo and how perfect it looks with the pretty pop of dark pink. By the way these earrings have been marked down to $24 in a big winter sale along with a few other great statement accessories!
Just a few more days until 2017, are you ready?!? I have my champagne, black eyed peas, and cabbage in the fridge, so I am ready to celebrate all weekend long. I shared a casual New Year’s Eve Outfit idea on Monday, so don’t forget to check it out! And check back here on Friday for a fun little beauty post. See you then and thanks for stopping by!

Red Christmas Sweater + The BEST Cyber Monday Sales
SANCTUARY Red Sweater | DL1961 c/o Black Skinny Jeans (40% off) | CORSO COMO Black Riding Boots (similar & on sale) | STREET LEVEL Reversible Tote | KENDRA SCOTT Skylar Earrings (20% off) | BAUBLEBAR Pave Links Bracelet (25% off) | Nails: ESSIE c/o Ready to Boa | Lips: NYX Staycation
Happy Cyber Monday!! I made this post two parts – an outfit for those of you so over all the sale info and a HUGE sales list for those of you still looking for all the great deals. But first, let’s talk about this outfit.
This sweater popped up in the “things you might like” section when I was looking at another item, and I was immediatly smitten with it. From a distance, this sweater almost looks solid red, but up close and personal you see the cool black and red striped details. I knew this would be the perfect red Christmas sweater, if the weather allows. It was freezing the morning, I took these photos, so I can say with confidence that this sweater will keep you warm. It’s a pretty thick sweater and oh so cozy!
Since I lean more towards comfy, cozy on holidays, I styled this sweater with boots and jeans. For something a bit dressier, I would go with leather leggings and my lace up heels. The funnel neck on this makes it hard to pair with a necklace, so I went with cute drop earrings instead. I also added my sparkliest bracelet to add a little glam to the look.

Now to Part 2 of today’s post, all the sales! What I love about Cyber Monday is that many of the sales are sitewide and many retailers offer Free Shipping for the sale. Most of my Black Friday purchases were for me 🙂 , but I plan to do more gift buying today. Well probably a little more for me too… #shoppingaddict
The sales are divided up by category, so you can easily find the sale to fit your gifting or personal needs. I also listed some of the items I have purchased for myself so far. My favorite personal purchase is these lounge/work out pants. I bought my first pair during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2015, and I wear them all the time around my house. I have been dying for a 2nd pair, so when I found them on sale again it was an immediate add to cart! I picked up this cardigan too. It’s not on sale, but the size and color combo I wanted finally came back in stock. YAY!
Happy Shopping Ya’ll and thanks for stopping by today!

SUN & SHADOW Bell Sleeve Sweater Tunic | EXPRESS Faux Leather Leggings | CHARLES BY CHARLES DAVID Pierogi Lace Up Heels | 14TH UNION Camisole | GIGI NEW YORK Black Clutch | KENDRA SCOTT Sophie Drop Earrings | GORJANA Taner Bar Necklace | BAUBLEBAR Pave Links Bracelet | Nails: ESSIE c/o Satin Sister | Lips: PIXI Sheer Rose
I love mixing together cozy and edgy pieces. This sweater is slightly oversized and so freaking comfortable! It also has pockets which for some reason just make me so happy. This sweater is adorable with jeans and riding boots, but I really wanted to find a way to create something a bit dressier with chic edge to it. Enter my favorite pair of leather leggings.
Ya’ll these are the BEST faux leather leggings. I bought mine last year, and they are back again this season. These leggings are so amazing because underneath that leather like coating is a scuba material legging. This means they fit and feel just like a regular old pair of black leggings, but the coating give the look of leather. I have tried on pairs that felt sticky, or too suctioning, or that showed off a leg dimple or two. I have had no issues with these, and I wore them tons last year. See how HERE and HERE. I mentioned washing them last year, but for those of you newbie readers. I wash these in a regular laundry load and hang dry. So far, I have had no issues with peeling or anything that sometimes happens to other faux leather items.
Alright you guys, we are almost half way through the week! I have a BONUS blog post coming for ya’ll tomorrow too. It’s a little silly, holiday-related, and I’m so excited for it. SO check back tomorrow and of course, I have another fun holiday gift guide on Friday too. Thanks for swinging by today ya’ll!

Happy Halloween!! I celebrated on Saturday at my gal pal’s epic Halloween bash. She transforms her house into a spooky haunted mansion with no corner left un-decorated. I get so mesmerized walking around checking out all the little details. She even changes out all the light bulbs to fit the theme. It’s amazing. I also love it because an epicly decorated party means you can go all out on your costume too! I went as a haunting ghost this year. Tonight, we will be passing out candy/sneaking a few pieces for ourselves.
With October pretty much behind us, it is full steam ahead to Thanksgiving! We are heading to a few Thanksgiving celebrations this year, and I need my look to be comfy for the long day spent traveling, lounging, and eating all the food. I love this sweater because it’s super soft and slightly oversized. Perfect for camouflaging that post-meal food baby. It comes in a few colors, but I love this dark teal color. It works perfect with black jeans and my FAVORITE brown riding boots. Ya’ll I found these babies back in stock this year. I’m not 100% sure if it’s the exact brown shade, the one linked may be slightly darker. I wore these boots so much last year, seen HERE and HERE. They look super cute with jeans, leggings, and dresses.
Hope ya’ll have a great week ahead! Thanks for taking some time to stop by today!
