We are just two weeks away from the Houston Rodeo you guys!! If you have never heard of it, think yummy bbq and fried foods, horses, bull riding, carnival rides, and big name concerts, plus my favorite part – a fun little wine garden. It’s a huge event held every March in Houston and last about 3 weeks. All the fun starts March 2nd, and today I am sharing what to wear to the Houston Rodeo. This outfit would work for really any rodeo or country music concert. Honestly, in Texas this could easily work as a brunch outfit too.
I like my rodeo outfits to have small nods to western wear without being full blown. This year, I paired embroidered details with denim and suede. Our weather is a bit warmer this year, so I decided a dress would be a safe to wear. I adore the fit and flare look of this one. The embroidery is so gorgeous, and it’s also on the back of the bottom of the dress too. For a chillier evening you could pair this with a denim jacket, but for a beautiful warm day I would go with a denim vest. I love that it let’s the details on the sleeves be seen.
Of course, no rodeo outfit is complete without a pair of cowboy boots. If you don’t have a pair, booties or riding boots will work too. Keep in mind the event involves lots of walking and a little bit of dirt, so try to find something comfortable that can get a little dirty.
If you are in Houston or planning a trip, you should definitely try to make a stop at the rodeo. There is lots to see, do, and eat. I highly recommend it! I’m suddenly craving a funnel cake and glass of wine. Ya’ll have good weekend, and thanks for swinging by today.

Embroidered Rose Blouse
| OUTFIT DETAILS |
Striped Embroidered Blouse | Similar Gray Jeans | Gray Suede Mules | Short Druzy Necklace | Silver Bangle | Pave Bangle | White Earrings | Pink Clutch | Mirrored Aviators | Nails: Essie Blanc | Lips: MAC Faux
I have always been a lover of gorgeous floral embroidery. Every year, I buy a top or a dress with some embroidery on it. I started noticing it becoming more popular, but it wasn’t until I received a few different orders on the same day that I realized I was a little obsessed. I can’t help myself, it’s just so pretty.
This embroidered rose blouse had a few different things I like about it. One obviously the gorgeous embroidered flower that sits on your shoulder both front and back. This flower totally reminds me of the rose from Beauty and the Beast! I think about it every time I look at it. (Totally off topic, but really excited for the movie!) I also loved the gray stripes. It made this blouse feel a little different than your average button down, and I felt it could easily work in both an office and date night setting. This blouse has a slightly higher side slit than a normal blouse. I kind of liked this because it made it easier to do the cool girl partial tuck in. I have never liked it with a normal blouse, but the higher slit made it work better with this blouse.
This top pairs perfectly with a black pencil skirt for work. For a cute weekend look, I stuck to the gray theme and paired it with my gray skinny jeans and suede mules. To make the rose color stand out, I added a pink clutch to help pull the rose out from all the gray. You could do a double movie date night to see 50 Shades Darker and Beauty and the Beast and be theme dressed for both. 🙂 Hope ya’ll are having a good week so far, thanks for swinging by!

What to Wear to a Super Bowl Party
As many of you know, I live in Houston and the big Super Bowl game this year is in Houston. It’s been fun watching the city prepare for the big game. The teams have been here all week, athletes and celebrities are starting to trickle in, and the parties are in full force. This gal here plans to spend the weekend at home in a t-shirt and jeans (probably leggings). Ha! Well I do plan to go to a few workout classes and the grocery store, but like that’s it.
I am not a fan of crowds, traffic, or not being able to find parking, so I decided long ago that I would be sitting this one out. I do wish I would have gone downtown last weekend for the NFL Experience event before the crowds came in. I’ve heard it was really cool and fun. Despite my desire to stay home, I am a big football fan and LOVE that this big game is in my hometown. Houston is an amazing city, and it’s great to see that showcased to the whole world!! Who knows maybe some big celeb will be on the bike next to me at spin class. 😉
Normally we either attend or host a big Super Bowl Party, so in case you are heading to one scroll down for a few outfit ideas. I divided them up by team. My Atlanta Falcons fans pull out the bright red, and my New England Patriots fans look for dark blue and navy. For those of you heading to a party because there is queso and Lady Gaga at halftime, I put together a few neutral outfits for you too.
A few tips for putting your Super Bowl Party Outfit together –
1) Pick something you can stand and sit in for long hours, you may even end up sitting on the floor. Keep that in mind.
2) Some of the outfits below have heels, but I would opt for flats, boots, or booties for the same reason listed above.
3) You can still wear your hometown team’s jersey! It’s the last NFL game until August, pull out that jersey and wear it!!
4) If you don’t care which team wins, stay away from the team colors. You will be deemed a fan of that time by color association.
5) Prepare to eat! Half the fun of the party is all the food, so make sure your outfit can accommodate a little over indulgence!
Now enjoy the outfit inspiration below, and ya’ll have a fun and safe Super Bowl Weekend!!
