Hello Ladies! Happy Friday!  I’m so ready for this weekend.  I’m headed to a really fun street type festival called White Linen Night on Saturday, and it should be lots of fun! Everyone wears white, walks around to check out local shops, and enjoys wine all with good friends.  It’s always a fun event and the perfect excuse to wear the dress from this post.

Ok so it may be casual Friday at work, but I’m still going to throw a little summer work wear at you today.  The fun thing about a Texas summer is that it’s 100 degrees outside and about 60 inside. 🙂  I like to try and find summer work clothes that work with both hot and chilly temps.  This sleeveless sweater is the perfect example of that kind of piece.  It is warm and cozy for the office, but it’s sleeveless for when I have to step outside on my lunch break or for happy hour.

Not only is it perfect for summer, but it’s going to work for fall too giving me more use out of it.  This work outfit could work for both summer and fall.  I mean our fall is still on the warmer side.  For a more casual look, you can pair this top with jeans and boots or booties for a weekend date night look.

Ya’ll only one more weekend to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Prices will go up on Monday, so be sure to get all your last minute orders in by Sunday night.    You can find some of my favorite picks and links to all my sale related outfit posts HERE.  Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!!

Hello Friends and Happy Weekend!

I just couldn’t wait any longer to share this adorable work outfit.  When I originally ordered this yellow ruffle skirt, I pictured it with a striped tee or fitted black top.  It arrived in the same package as the purple cami, and when they landed next to each other, I knew they had to be styled together.

Depending on your office dress code, a strappy top like this may not meet the dress code.  This outfit combo would also be perfect for a bridal or baby shower, or a summer luncheon.  You could also pair a denim jacket, white blazer, or short white cardigan with this outfit to make it more office friendly.

This yellow ruffle skirt is so fun and was a bit of an impulse buy.  I went to order more of these strappy camis during a sale, and I fell instantly in love with this print.  Yellow and ruffles are both turning into trends this summer too.  This skirt is really lightweight and has lots of movement, so it’s going to perfect to wear during the hottest days of summer.

Oh and I double checked and these earrings are officially back in stock in white for those of you who missed out last time I posted them HERE.  They are super lightweight and ya’ll white earrings goes with EVERYTHING!  If you want a statement earring that you can wear a bunch, I would really look into a white pair.

Alright you guys, thanks for taking some time out of your weekend to swing by.  I always appreciate it.  Ya’ll have a fabulous rest of your weekend and I will see you back here on Tuesday for a super casual summer outfit.

Happy Friday!!  I am so ready for the weekend.  I’m headed to a little Galentine’s Happy Hour with some of my gal pals tonight.  One of my friends got engaged last weekend, and I am ready to see that ring in person!

I am closing out the winter outfit inspiration on the blog today with this casual outfit filled with closet staples.  A black crewneck fitted sweater is a must have in my closet.  It works with everything from distressed jeans and sneakers to flared jeans and heels for a casual look, and a pencil skirt or slacks for the office.   I love the ribbed knit ones because they usually have a little stretch to them.   Skinny jeans are my go to, but sometimes I like to mix it up with a wide boot cut or flared leg jean.  I think it makes this outfit look a little more professional.  It could easily work in the office and be the perfect casual Friday outfit for winter.

For shoes, I went with my office wear favorite the black lace up heel.  I love the look of a pointy toe peeking through the bottom of the jeans.  Flared jeans are also a great way to disguise wearing socks and boots in winter when you just want warm feet.

Ya’ll have a great weekend, and meet me back here next week as we start styling some pretty Spring looks!!  See you then and thanks for stopping by!
