In my last post, we talked about slipping out of our comfies and into our holiday party wear.  In case your holidays will still look a little more cozy comfy this year, I would love to recommend this black half zip pullover sweater.  I’ve worn it with leggings for a lazy day at the house and tossed it on with jeans to head out of the house.

The gold half zip design and statement collar make this stand out from your basic sweatshirt or pullover design.  It comes in a few colors, but I think black always has a more chic look to it.  The ivory color would also be a good choice for casual chic attire.

Keeping with the casual theme, I paired this pullover sweater with my dark blue jeans and white sneakers.  With sneakers, I like to slightly cuff the bottom of my jeans.  I think showing just a hint of ankle helps us petite gals look taller.

It’s holiday party season!!  You can never have too many black cocktail dresses in your closet in my opinion.  A black dress can be worn to so many different events from holiday parties to weddings to date night to cocktail party.  My attraction to this black dress was definitely the puffy statement sleeve.  I love a good statement sleeve!

This dress had another feature that makes it a must have cocktail party dress to keep in your closet rotation.  Most of my cocktail dresses are fitted throughout the dress or at least at the top portion.  The top portion of this dress is a stretchy material that allows more movement and comfort.  Overall it has a looser fitting design which I love for days when you are not in the mood for something fitting.  The high low bell skirt and puff sleeve give this dress that statement cocktail factor.  This dress will have you looking fabulous while also being comfy. As we change out of our comfies and start putting on our party wear, this dress is perfection for the transition.

A great way to dress up your little black dress is with a fabulous statement shoe.  These pearl and silver studded heels were my weddings shoes!  I tried on a few pairs and loved that these were bridal but I also knew that I would be able to create lots of fun and glam outfits around these shoes.  I ordered my normal shoe size despite the recommendation to go up half size.  I think it fits perfect.

Happy Friday!!  We are enjoying a few cooler days here, so I’m pretty excited to pull out some of my new sweaters and cardigans.  We’ve been in the 80s for most of the week which is really not working for all of my fun new fall things.

This layered fall outfit is such a classic outfit combo for both fall and winter.  What I love about is – one how simple it is and two how you can start with the same base layer and just change out your cardigan for a multitude of outfits to wear all season.

For a comfy cozy combo, I went with this oversized blue cardigan.  This blue shade was in instant attraction.  I thought it was such a pretty shade of blue.  Even though it’s a brighter blue, I feel like it’s slightly subdued and perfect for fall and winter.  The drop shoulder and statement collar gives it just a little bit of wow factor to make it stand out from the other long cardigans out there.  It’s designed to be oversized, so I would stay either true to your normal size or go down one.  I’m wearing an XS.

As for my other layer – this cami is becoming a staple in my closet!  It’s perfect for layering, but also great in the spring and summer months to wear alone.  It also comes in black.  Both colors are great staples for layered looks.  The straps are adjustable which I love!  I’m wearing a size small.
