Workwear in NYC: White Midi Skirt
Happy Friday! I’m so excited to start sharing some of my photos from my New York City trip earlier this month. I have a few posts planned all about Fashion Week, but I also shot a few extra outfits while I was there because I loved having the different and beautiful backdrop of NYC. These photos were shot in Soho. It was the windiest morning, but I loved how it made these photos turn out.
Anyway, let’s talk about this outfit. First off, my top and skirt are both 40% off right now! I love this white striped midi skirt. Right now and in Spring, I’m pairing it with fitted tops like this navy one. When cooler weather comes in, I think it will be perfect with a chunky knit sweater.
For my trip, I picked up another Henri Bendel Mini Jetsetter. I wanted a black travel bag, and well after looking at several brands and stores decided to buy another Jetsetter in black. I love that I can carry it as a backpack, satchel, and crossbody. For NYC, it was perfect to store heels in so I could walk around in flats and then change when I arrived at meetings and events. Last week, Henri Bendel announced they will be closing all stores and their website in January. Their bags are so durable and good quality, and I was sad to hear this news. If you have had your eye on a bag, you may want to try and scoop one up before they close next year.

Fall Workwear: Pinstripe Pencil Skirt
Hello Ladies! This week is all about workwear, and I’m starting with one of my favorite skirt purchases from the big Nordstrom sale! Obviously, I fell in love with this pencil skirt because it was gray. The details on it though are what really make this skirt special. The pinstripe gives it a professional office vibe, and the buttons and small slit make this standout from your basic gray pinstripe pencil skirt. It’s the perfect skirt to go from work to happy hour.
I have paired this skirt with my teal top, but I really love it paired with a fitted black top. This turtleneck is a fall and winter basics must have! It’s super stretchy and really comfortable for being so fitted. I can’t wait to pair it with all the jeans and boots soon! You could also pair it with a dark skinny jean and heels for date night.
My weekend wedding was so much fun ya’ll, and my dress was amazing! You can see it HERE from my IG post. After a busy busy few weeks, I’m so excited to have a super low key couple of weeks coming up. It feels good to have a few days and weekends to just chill and relax at home before the holiday season begins. Hope your week is going well!

Summer to Fall Transitional Outfit
Happy Friday! I’m sticking with my summer to fall transitional outfit theme of the week with this adorable coral sleeveless top. Since Texas will still be on the warmer side for another month or more, I like to buy lightweight sleeveless or short sleeve tops in pretty fall colors. The color makes me feel fall, but the style helps me survive the heat a little. This top also has super cute shoulder detailing too. I think my hair covers it in all the pictures….
I kept this outfit super casual with my new AG jeans. I love to cuff my skinny jeans and pair them with heels and mule sandals. I think the cuff works so well with these taupe mule sandals. These sandals have been getting a bit of wear over the past month with many of my jean outfits. I love that they have a casual vibe, but with the right dress can also have a slightly dressier feel to them.
I am heading to a friend’s wedding this weekend. I cannot wait to dance the night away. Per my usual, I ordered a dress from Rent the Runway. Stay tuned to Instagram for the big reveal. This one is a total stunner! Ya’ll have a great weekend!!

Black Cami & Brown Booties
Hello ladies!! Well, I am officially back in Texas and home from my first New York Fashion Week. It was a whirlwind a few days, and I can’t wait to share more with you soon. The last few days, we experienced some nice fall weather, but back in Texas means back to the heat and all my summer faves like this black and white look. Most of the runway shows I attended featured tons of black and white looks, so I think this a perfect post fashion week outfit.
This black and white cami was a late summer purchase. I love pairing camis with jeans for a date night or to grab a drink or dinner with friends. This one pairs perfectly with all the jean colors, but I love the contrast with the white jeans. These brown booties provided the perfect color pop for this black and white look. The suede and western style helps make this outfit look more fall while still helping me stay cool. The western vibe of these boots also made me want to add a bit or turquoise into the overall look. Hello gorgeous statement earrings.
I’m taking today off work to relax, recover and catch up on blog work. I hope ya’ll have a fabulous week. Thanks for stopping by!
