What I Wore in November
Only one more month left of 2020! My November outfits were a mix of sweaters and lightweight fall tops. We had a few warm days that called for tank tops and shorts. I continue to add to my comfy loungewear collection too. We took our Christmas card photo this month, so I’m including the brown midi dress that I wore for the picture.
Since it’s Cyber Monday, many of the items that I wore in November are on sale today! One sale I must point out is Kendra Scott’s 30% off sale. My staple earrings and many of my necklaces are from this line. It’s also a great jewelry line to shop for Christmas gifts. She has a wide array of jewelry from everyday to statement and a good range of prices.
Also worth noting as you do your sale shopping, Nordstrom does price matching! Sometimes they already mark items down as price-matched on the site. If you find something that’s not, you can just do a chat session on their website and send them the link and they will match. I like the perks of shopping with my Nordstrom card, so I like to take advantage of this perk.

Six Ways to Wear a Striped Button Up Top
A striped button up top is a great staple to have in your closet. You can easily dress it up for work or down for a more casual affair. Today’s six ways to wear a striped button up top includes three casual outfits and three work outfits. For the three casual, I’m showing a popular fall outfit, super casual look, and a look with OTK boots. For work, I’m hitting all work dress levels including casual Friday, business casual, and a simple office look.
My striped top is a tunic length which is perfect for pairing with leggings. To change up the look of my top, I opted to tie it at the waist in a few of the looks. This option can help add definition to your waist. The longer length of the top makes it super easy to tie into a cute knot.
Six Ways to Wear a Striped Button Up Top
WITH LONG CARDIGAN & DISTRESSED JEANS
Cardigan, jeans and booties is a classic fall look. Since my cardigan is long, I opted to tie the top at my waist to showcase different lengths in my layers.

WITH JEANS & OVER THE KNEE BOOTS
Since my boots are over the knee, I went with a tie at the waist. The shorter look of the top helps make my legs look a little longer with the over the knee boots. It’s a fun little petite trick of mine.

WITH BLACK LEGGINGS & DENIM JACKET
The best thing about tunics is how perfect they mix with black leggings. The striped button up style gives a bit more of put together look to the leggings. I added in a denim jacket for a layered fall outfit.

GRAY JEANS & HEELS
For a more business casual jeans outfit, I paired this striped tunic with a gray pair of skinny jeans and heels. The height of my heel works well with the tunic length. The untucked top and gray jeans give a deconstructed casual office vibe.

WITH FAUX LEATHER PENCIL SKIRT
With a quick tie at the waist, this top is a perfect pairing with a pencil skirt for the office. I tucked the ends of the tie up in the shirt to create the look of a tucked in shirt. This works great with a faux leather skirt when a tucked in shirt may show off a line or bunching in your skirt.

WITH LIGHT BLUE JEANS & LOAFERS
For casual Friday in the office, a pair of skinny jeans and loafers are perfect. Since I’m petite and wearing flats, I opted to tie my shirt at the waist to help make the overall outfit look more put together and prevent me from looking shorter.

Seven Ways to Wear Leopard Print Pants
WITH A SHORT BOXY SWEATER
A light colored top is a great way to tone down the bold print. This slightly boxy ivory sweater was the perfect shade to pair with this leopard print. I opted for the shorter sweater since both my top and bottom have a bit of volume.

WITH A FITTED LONG SWEATER
If you are worried about boxy making you look to well boxy, a long fitted sweater will help define your shape a little. I opted for a black sweater to help make the dark color in the print really pop.

WITH A STRIPED TANK & LONG CARDIGAN
Stripes are one of my go to patterns for a good print mix! The long green cardigan helps add a punch of color to the look.

WITH A DENIM JACKET & BLACK TANK TOP
Looking for a more casual outfit idea? Reverse the work outfit with a casual denim jacket and fitted tank top to ease these pants into weekend attire.

WITH A NAVY FITTED TEE
If you want to add a little bit of color, navy blue is a great choice. It provides a little color without taking away from the statement fact of the leopard print in the pants.

WITH A PURPLE CAMI
For a dressy weekend look, a strappy cami works really well with these looser fitting pants. I wanted to showcase another color option with this muted purple top. Since the pants are a statement maker, my color choices will lean more towards non-bright, almost like muted colors. Purple always gives me a luxe feel and is a great choice.

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.
