Galentine’s Day Outfit | Red & Pink Bow Sweater
Closing out our week long celebration of Valentine’s Day here on the blog with the cutest red and pink bow sweater, perfect to wear in a Galentine’s Day outfit or for casual Friday at work. Valentine’s Day is not just about celebrating with your special someone. It’s also a great reason to gather up your gal pals and celebrate friendship. My friends and I will usually plan a brunch, dinner, or happy hour on one of the days surrounding February 14th.
Galentine’s Day events tend to be more casual to dressy casual, so no need for full on date night outfits. I like to go for something dressy casual. Metallic heels add a little fancy to my look, jeans keep it casual, and the adorable bow detail on this sweater keep it festive. This red and pink bow sweater would also be great to wear to work with a pencil or pleated midi skirt. You could make this look even more casual with a pair of distressed jeans and white sneakers.
In case you missed it, I shared the perfect red and pink date night outfit earlier this week and rounded up all the hearts from clothing to accessories to gift ideas. Be sure to check them out as you start prepping for Valentine’s Day. We are only one week away friends.
Hope ya’ll have a fabulous weekend and thank you so much for stopping by this week!

What I Wore in January + Reader Favorites
Did anyone else feel like January was extra long this year? I feel like we should be halfway through February already. Of course, I also know in a few months that I will be shocked how quickly time has flown by. Maybe it has to do with it being such a slow month compared to the busy holiday months it follows. Either way, I’m ready to be inching closer to warm Spring weather and outfits!
I’m doing a two for one with today’s post and sharing a look back at what I wore in January plus your favorite items and blog posts. My month was filled with sweaters, jackets, and cardigans. When I was putting this post together, I realized I definitely had a favorite shoe this month. I included a few workout looks too. I’ve really been enjoying doing class pass this month. I found two new favorites – barre and megaformer pilates – that I’m planning to keep in my workout rotation along with gym time and spin.
My boyfriend and I have a busy weekend planned out. We are doing a little outlet shopping on Saturday, and then watching the Big Game together on Sunday! If you missed it, I shared a few Super Bowl party outfit ideas and tips on making a yummy game day snack board earlier this week. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend. Next week is going to be all about Valentine’s Day here on the blog, I can’t wait to share the outfits with ya’ll! See you soon.

15 Super Bowl Party Outfit Ideas
Where are all my football fans at??? I’m a pretty big football fan. For starters, I grew up in Texas, and we live and breath football here. I’ve played Fantasy Football for years, even one once! Every Sunday, you can usually catch me somewhere watching a game. Fresh out of college, I worked in sports television which only fueled my love for the game. I also formerly worked for network television station which every 3 years airs the big game. Working in sports for several years and then at a tv station that airs lots of NFL, I was engulfed in many of the back end things. Last year, I made a career change and watching football totally changed for me.
I was no longer involved in the work that went to put on the game, if something went wrong with the airing it no longer was going to be my problem come Monday morning. This football season, I got to sit back and just enjoy the games. Every so often I would miss the craziness that is football season at a tv station, but I also enjoyed getting to be on the outside of things and just enjoy the season.
As a football fan, the Super Bowl is kind of bittersweet. It’s what you’ve been watching for all season, and it also means football season and my Sunday plans are over. Over the years, I’ve hosted parties, attended parties, and watched alone. No matter what, I always had yummy football snacks and always dress for the occasion.
I rounded up 15 Super Bowl Party outfit ideas that would be perfect no matter what your game watching plans. Both team colors are red this year, so you may need add in some gold or white accessories to make your team choice stand out! When my team is not playing, I opt for a casual non-team color outfit. Keep scrolling for some Super Bowl outfit inspiration including some red outfit ideas, something for those wanting to look dressy casual but also comfy, and lots of comfy outfits!

Maroon Sweater
Happy Happy Friday!! Oh why do short weeks always feel the longest?!?! After a busy weekend and work week, I am ready for a pretty chill and relaxing weekend to close out January. I have no plans as of right now, and I’m really excited about that. I will probably end up catching up on a few things around the house.
Back in November, I headed to my first Texas A&M football game. I mentioned it when I shared my red puffer coat a week or so ago. This maroon sweater was the other item I wore to the game. My original plan was a lightweight sweater based on the weather predictions. When the forecast changed to colder game time temps, I decided to add the coat to the mix.
Turtleneck sweaters are hit or miss for me. I don’t want to them to feel too tight around the neck. These mock neck style tops are a great alternative for the look without worrying about too tight a feel around the neck. The mock neck style in a solid color is a great basic wardrobe staple add to your closet. You can make it work both casually and professionally. A lightweight version can also be layered under cardigans, vests, and jackets.
I picked my sweater up from Nordstrom Rack, and I noticed it was low in stock. I found a few similar ones HERE and HERE in case you like the look.
