Bow Tie Top + Flared Skirt & BLACK FRIDAY SALES!
Anyone else still full from yesterday!?!?! It was good though, worth it! Now that Thanksgiving is over and done, Hello Christmas Season! At the bottom of today’s post I have rounded up some of the best Black Friday Sales in fashion, jewelry, beauty, and home goods. Be sure to check it out and use it as your source while you do your holiday shopping today! I have my christmas list by my side for my gift shopping today, plus a few items on my treat myself list. I mean it is the perfect day to pick up a few of the beauty and fashion items I have been eyeing lately.
But before we start our Black Friday shopping or continue depending when you are reading this post, let’s talk about this outfit. This workwear look is one of my favorite work outfits for fall. It’s a classic outfit combination I recreate within my closet over and over again. It start with a fitted top like this adorable bow tie sweater top paired with a cute skirt, and finished off with the perfect slouchy suede boots.
I have a gray and black flared skirt I keep in rotation for this outfit combo. This season, I added this cute black one. I love the white details on the bottom for a different look to a solid color or full print skirt. I often pair this look with a solid fitted sweater or tee, but I couldn’t resist this adorable bow tie top with puff sleeves. I think it was made for this skirt and boots combo! It would also be cute with jeans for a casual holiday outfit.
Alright ya’ll, keep scrolling down to get to my list of Black Friday Sales and Happy Shopping! Be sure to check back this weekend for more gift guides and on Monday a big list of Cyber Monday Sales along with items seen here on the blog that are on sale! See you soon.

Holiday Gift Guide for Men
Happy Thanksgiving Eve!! I have a hopefully short day at work and then I’m headed home to check out a few early Black Friday sales online. I’ve listed a few of the ones I have found at the end of today’s post for you! Also, I have several gift guides coming at you over the next few days, so you can take advantage of a few sales while doing your gift shopping. Be sure to check back daily for all the Cyber Week sale fun!
My Christmas gift ideas for men hit on a few different types of guys. I included a few tech products like the Echo speaker with Alexa and top of the line bluetooth speaker. For my outdoorsy men, a travel hammock and a few drink containers. For my scotch drinkers and entertainers, I found a couple decanters with cool designs. I think the globe with the ship inside is pretty cool. It’s functional and a decoration. Maybe it’s the fashion blogger in me, but I like buying guys clothes. It’s the perfect excuse to enhance their wardrobe a little or introduce them to a new color or style.
A few grooming products are also included in my gift guide. I include this toiletry bag every year because I think it’s the perfect guy gift, especially if you know a man who travels a bunch. I have purchased this one before for a family member. It’s a good size and durable.
Be sure to check back tomorrow for another fun gift guide perfect for both men and women, plus on Friday I will have a big list of Black Friday sales along with a super adorable work look. Happy Sale Shopping Ya’ll!

Holiday Dinner Dress
Happy Thanksgiving Week! What are your plans for the week? I have to work for the first half, but the second half is all about family, comfort foods, and sale shopping! Don’t worry I am planning a big sales list on Friday and Monday for you along with a cute fall work outfit post on Friday. I’m going to spend the next few days making my gift buying list and a list of all my places to check out for a little treat yourself shopping. I’ve been holding back on a few purchases to hopefully find them on sale this week.
With Thanksgiving just a few days a way, I wanted to share the perfect holiday dinner dress that can also be worn to the office. If you saw my casual Thanksgiving outfit post on Friday, then you have gathered that I’m loving the brown and black for Thanksgiving this year.
This dress is so comfy ya’ll! Tie waists and Thanksgiving are totally meant for each other too. If you over indulge, you can just loosen the tie a little. 😉 I also love the ruffle sleeve on this dress. It has a band at the wrist which really makes this dress work in a variety of weather, perfect for our crazy Texas weather. I wore this dress to work and pulled up the sleeves to 3/4 length during the hot part of the day and pulled them down in the cool morning and evening.
Also, these peep toe booties are the same ones from Friday. I love that they pair so perfectly with both jeans and dresses! They come in a few colors, but I love this brown shade for fall and spring.
Alright ya’ll, have a wonderful start to your week! Be sure to check back on Wednesday for my next gift guide, and Friday for the cutest work outfit plus a full list of Black Friday Sales! If you are looking for something specific during the sales, drop me a comment and I will see what I can find!
