Give me something casual, and I’m going to find a way to dress it up! I adore the look of utility vests with swing and shift dresses and how they give the dresses shape, but they are also really fun to dress up with distressed jeans and heels! It creates a chic utility vest outfit perfect for weekends.
I went with a white blouse to keep with the neutrals look, but I think a cute floral blouse would be cute in this outfit too. I chose the distressed jeans to blend with the casual vibe of the vest, and I kept them skinny to balance the bulkiness of the vest. This outfit needed a little bit of color, enter my Moon & Lola charm necklace! We created these at TBSCon over the summer. I went with the hot pink tassel because the color was so fun, and an oversized pearl and monogram K because I’m from the south. 🙂
This blouse is lightweight and comes in tons of colors and prints. It’s perfect for a warm fall. We are expected to get a real taste of fall weather this weekend, and I have my chili ready! I just need to go find me a pumpkin candle, and I will be set. Ya’ll have a great day, and make sure to check back Friday for lots of fall outfit inspiration!

I talk about my love to mix colors quite a bit, well it feels like that to me at least. My favorite color mixing season is probably fall. I love to mix the dark seasonal colors and jewel tones. One of my favorite base colors to mix with is olive. It works really well with warmer jewel tones like burgundy, purple, and dark pink. This outfit is easily something I would wear to work on casual Friday (probably with non-distressed jeans) or on weekends to dinner, brunch, or just running errands.
These pink suede flats have been on my radar since the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I passed on them because I was over budget. My birthday landed me a few gift cards, and they immediately landed in my cart. The pointed toe on these gives them a classic, sophisticated, and professional look, but they have these little spikes around the heel that gives them a little edge. I think this particular shade of dark pink is a major selling point. It’s dark enough for fall and winter, but still bright enough for spring and summer.
The first time I wore them out, the heel felt narrow. The second time they had stretched just enough, and now are really comfortable. They come in a few other color options too. I considered the cognac brown ones, but I didn’t like that the spikes were gold. I love anything with a heel, but I will always consider a great ballet style flat to be a fall and winter staple.

I hope you didn’t pack away your white jeans with the end of summer, because today I have a few tips on how to wear white jeans in fall. One of my favorite ways to wear them is by pairing them with other neutrals like cream, black, or gray. You can also pair them with knits like oversized sweaters or long cardigans. Last, add a pop of color with a fall jewel tone. You could also pair this look with black heels or black riding boots too.
I found this sweater when I was picking out my plaid from last week’s post. Short sleeve sweaters are perfect for Texas fall and winter. I mean it’s mid-October and still 90 out in the afternoon. I also prefer the cowl neck to a turtle neck too. It’s just more comfortable to me, especially if it is warm out. The neutral color palette means I can wear this with not only my white jeans, but also my dark teal and maroon ones too. It is very oversized. I am wearing the XS/S size.
Also, I linked the only place I have found my booties on sale. They have been going in and out of stock, so I am also sharing a very similar pair by the same shoe guy.
I hope ya’ll are having a great week so far, and thanks for stopping by today!

Fall Trends: Blanket Poncho

I am sharing the coziest of all fall and winter fashion trends today – the blanket poncho! I am someone who is always cold. When our temps dip below 70, I start pulling out the sweaters and boots. I love blanket ponchos because you can easily wrap yourself up in them to stay cozy and warm, BUT the current styles also keep you looking super fashionable. If you don’t like the bulky look of some ponchos, try using a belt to cinch the waist and give you shape.
Blanket ponchos are also a must have for travel. They can easily double as a blanket or pillow on a plane or in a car. Plus, they easily make a plain tee and leggings look super chic.
Can you believe this poncho is vintage? When I found it, I seriously thought it was misplaced. It looks like something you would find in stores today. Every time I find a vintage piece still so relevant to today’s style and trends, it makes me want to never throw anything out! I’m going to need an extra closet now. 😉
If you are ready to jump on this trend, I linked a few current ponchos that I’m loving for you below. Ya’ll have a great week and thanks so much for stopping by today!
