What I Wore in January

winter outfits | casual fashion | Petite Fashion Blogger Lady in Violet

January was quite the busy month over here! We started the month in the country visiting Steve’s family, started planning our wedding including lots of venue tours, and also fit in lots of comfy cozy winter days.

It was fun to have a few weekends to get a little dressed up when we visited various wedding venues in the area.  I don’t have many reasons to dress up right now, so I take all the excuses I can!  I had a few comfy sweaters make their way into rotation this month along with a statement coat or two.

Keep scrolling for a look at what I wore last month!

Six Ways to Wear a Long Black Tunic for Fall

Happy Friday and Happy Weekend!  Can you believe Thanksgiving is less than a week away?  I can’t either!  I already put up my Christmas tree and started my holiday shopping.  By the way, all my gift guides this year will have a dedicated spot HERE.  I figured that would be easier than going through multiple posts.  I also included gift guides of years’ past for even more ideas!

This long black tunic has come in pretty handy this fall.  It’s great over leggings for a day at home, and it also pairs perfectly with skinny jeans and boots. It’s got some pretty good versatility to it being able to dress down or into a super chic night out look.

Six Ways to Wear a Long Black Tunic for Fall

WITH LIGHT BLUE JEANS

I love the contrast of the dark top with the light wash jeans.  To keep this look leaning towards fall, I added in my dark brown mules.  The black and brown combo is a fave of mine for fall.

WITH BLACK JEANS & DENIM JACKET

All black tops look great with a pair of black skinny jeans for a monochromatic outfit.  I added in a blue denim jacket and brown booties to add some color to the overall look.

WITH DARK BLUE JEANS & TALL BROWN BOOTS

Still looking for a Thanksgiving outfit?  Pairing this top with dark wash jeans and tall brown leather boots is the perfect fall combo!  Plus, this top will help hide those extra servings of dressing and pumpkin pie.

WITH TAN LEATHER JACKET & FAUX LEATHER LEGGINGS

To dress up this top for a night out with the gals, I added in some leather.  These faux leather leggings add a chic factor to any outfit especially when paired with a pair of suede boots.  For a little color, I added my tan leather jacket which also helps add a little edge to the look.

WITH LEATHER LEGGINGS & WHITE SHOES

Faux leather leggings are not just for a night out! I paired this tunic and leggings combo with a pair of casual white slides for a casual weekend or work from home outfit.

WITH CUTOFF SHORTS & COWBOY BOOTS

I live in Texas, even in fall it can be a little warm.  I’m including one outfit with shorts for those of us living in a hot fall area.  I also love this outfit for a rodeo our county fair.  I added in cowboy boots to give this look a little bit of the western vibe.  You could also go with a a pair of brown booties.

Seven Ways to Style a Swing Dress for Fall

Hello Hello! It’s been a busy few days over on the home front.  Over the weekend, we drove out to my mom’s to pick up our temporary kitchen table.  We haven’t really found the one yet, and my sister offered to let us borrow the one she didn’t need anymore.  I’m really excited one to finally have a kitchen table, but also that the pressure to find the perfect table is relaxed a little.  Since we now have something, we can spend a little more time searching for the perfect one.

I also ordered a small table for our entry way.  I really wanted a navy table for the space which turned out is really hard to find.  A few months ago, I found the perfect one at Target but it was sold out.  I’ve been stalking it since and it came back in stock this week!!  Every time we cross an item off the list, I feel like our place is transforming even more into our perfect little home.  I will have to do a home post soon to share some of what we’ve done and purchased.

Alright now that all the exciting home news is out of the way, let’s talk fashion! I love a swing dress. The flowy style make them so comfy and perfect for days spent more at home.  You can also easily transform them into multiple styles with a few style swaps.  This burgundy swing dress is also a sweater dress so it adds a little bit of warmth.  I also love that it came with a matching slip, since I find most sweater dresses need something underneath.

SEVEN WAYS TO STYLE A SWING DRESS FOR FALL

WITH BOOTIES

Simple, easy, and perfect for warm fall days.

WITH A DENIM JACKET AND OVER THE KNEE BOOTS

A denim jacket is a staple in my closet for fall and spring.  It’s the perfect layering piece for a causal outfit.  With the shorter length of this dress, my OTK boots were the perfect pairing.

WITH A BLAZER AND HEELS

Work day ready with the quick addition of a fitted blazer and snakeskin heels.  Since this dress is crewneck and one solid color, I also added a long necklace to add a little something to the overall look.

WITH A LEATHER JACKET & TALL BOOTS

For a dressy but still kinda casual look, a leather jacket and boots are perfect.  This outfit would be perfect for Thanksgiving dinner!

WITH A CARDIGAN & BOOTIES

I think swing dresses are so comfy, so adding a long and cozy cardigan is just what this casual outfit needs.  Opt for a contrasting color option.

WITH A CROPPED SWEATER & BOOTS

Turn your dress into a skirt by layering a cropped chunky sweater over it.  It’s the quickest way to completely change the look of your dress.

What I Wore in September

Ya’ll so excited that it is October.  This is one of the best weather months in Houston, in my opinion at least.  It’s bright and sunny with a cool breeze.  You have days where you can start wearing some fall layers, but also days to relish in a few of our summer faves.  I’m already excited for next month’s what I wore post!

But before I get ahead of myself, let’s talk about what I wore this month.  I ventured out a bit for a baby shower and dinner with some gal pals.  I, of course,  pulled out some sparkly and colorful pieces for both occasions.  Other than that is was pretty business as usual with lots of casual outfits including a few loungewear looks and a look at a few ways I transitioned my outfits from summer to fall.

Enjoy the outfit inspiration, pin your faves, and Happy October!
