Date Night Outfit: Red Deep V Blouse & Link Up
Hello friends! Do I have the perfect date night top for ya’ll today or what? The color red is totally having a moment right now and is a current color trend. Although, I feel weird calling the color red a trend, because I feel like red is always in style. It’s the perfect power color to wear to stand out or keep the attention of say your hot date. 🙂
One of my favorite date night looks is subtle sexy. This red deep v blouse is so perfect for that vibe. The plunging deep v and little shoulder slits show just enough skin in the right places for a little sex appeal, but overall you are really pretty covered up. I always feel like people think sex appeal means show as much skin as you can get away with, but I love little peeks in just the right places.
This top comes in a few color options, but I could not resist such a gorgeous style in this bold red shade. Black skinny jeans were the perfect pairing to complete my date night look. I think this outfit would be cute if you were meeting someone for drinks.
Also, I love pairing booties with skinny jeans, but I feel like these pictures don’t show just how cute the skinny jean tucked into a bootie can be. My main tip is too make sure the jean is a more tapered fit at the ankle to prevent to much bulk and risk making the ankle look bulky. I still haven’t had these jeans hemmed, so that’s probably why it looks off to me. #procrastinator I don’t want to have to give them up for a week. I wear them too much.

Gray Cold Shoulder Sweater
Happy Friday the 13th!! Big plans tonight include watching the Houston Astros in game 1 of the ALCS playoff series, and that pretty much sums up the weekend too. Plus, a few other fun things with friends. We FINALLY started experiencing some slightly cooler weather in the mornings and evenings, and I really hope it carries into the weekend.
We may have some cooler weather, but it’s definitely not quite cool enough for this cozy sweater yet. I actually was not even shopping for sweaters when I found this one. I have a fun trip later this month and was perusing new arrivals for that when I laid eyes on this gray cold shoulder sweater. It’s Caslon which is a brand I love from Nordstrom because of their decent prices and good quality. It started on my wish list, but then I decided why not just get it now because all the good things are selling fast this year.
I love the tunic length of this sweater. I’m planning on pairing it with leggings and boots this winter. This sweater is a good mix of trendy and basic. The cold shoulder cutouts keep you on trend for winter, and the cozy v-neck style makes it a great basic. This sweater is also very thick and very warm.
I wanted to create a cute errand running or family gathering outfit with this sweater. Tis this season for family parties and lots of running around town trying to get all the things done. My pink flats were the perfect compliment to the gray and help add a little something special to the basic look.
My pink flats are from last year, but the brand released a very similar style in the same color this season. Ya’ll if you don’t have a colorful pair of flats, you need some! I wear these all year long. It’s such a fun way to dress up your office outfits or just a basic top and jeans.
Ya’ll have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!!

The Perfect Holiday Sweater + Link Up
Hello friends! Is it too early to start planning holiday outfits?? November always seems to be the start of the holiday party season, so if you are an early bird this may be the perfect time to start picking out a few party ready pieces.
Enter this sweatshirt. Yes, you read that correctly this gorgeous chic top is a cozy, soft, and comfy SWEATSHIRT! I ordered it because I loved the really cool slightly dramatic sleeve and oh hi it’s burgundy. The sweatshirt description didn’t click until I put it on. Umm, did I just find the perfect holiday sweater, I think I might have. Holiday parties are all about dressing up in your chicest attire, and you can go in a sweatshirt and still look super chic. I love it. This top also looks cute tucked into a black pencil skirt for work.
Ok, let’s also talk about these boots. I really needed new black slouchy boots. My current pair should have retired last year. My family knows me well and sent me lots of Nordstrom gift cards for my birthday in August, so I decided to splurge and buy these boots with them. Boots are an investment, and the purchase always makes me nervous, but I cannot be more happy with them. These boots are so beautiful and the perfect amount of slouchiness while still holding the tall shape. Plus, they are the perfect shaft height for my 5’3 frame.
Two things to mention, they are narrow in the toe bed. If you have a wider foot, they may not fit or might be uncomfortable. Second, they are a pull on boot aka no zipper to make it easier. I haven’t had any problems putting them on, but I know some don’t like tall pull on only boots. Also, I’m wearing my normal shoe size.
Alright ya’ll, thanks for stopping by today. Have a great week, and don’t forget to check out the Style File Link Up for even more outfit inspiration!

Yellow Striped Sweater
Happy Friday!!! Anyone have any big plans this weekend?? I have another low key weekend planned which will be my last one for awhile, so I plan to enjoy every relaxing minute of it.
If you have been looking for a great long sleeve lightweight sweater to wear on weekends, I have found it ya’ll. I originally ordered this yellow striped sweater because I loved the shade of yellow. Once it arrived, I realized I could probably live in this sweater. It’s an oversized high/low fit which is super comfy, but the sleeves are fitted. Fitted sleeves on an oversized sweater is super cozy and comfy for me.
With oversized sweaters, I like to do a little front tuck to give the overall look a little shape. I made sure to shoot a couple photos untucked too, because it looks cute that way too. This yellow sweater is also perfect to pair with shorts (worn that way here) and wear on warmer weekends. Hello Texas fall! Also, I have to mention this sweater comes in a few other colors options too. I’m seriously debating the black and white one, because this is one of those tops that will be wearable for many fall and winter seasons ahead.
I paired this yellow shade with these cute pink earrings, because I love the pink and yellow color combo. I think the pink earrings slightly dress up this more casual fall outfit too.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! See you guys back here next week!
