Denim Jumpsuit
Happy September and Happy Fall-ish! I know it’s still sweltering hot here in Houston. Although, I did see some cooler temps in the forecast for next week. With a long weekend ahead of us, I’m planning to soak up the sun with some time by the pool and do a little closet organization. Since our house needs and wants list is still a bit long, we will probably take advantage of the Labor Day Sales to cross a thing or two off.
Since March, Steve and I have been out on TWO date nights. Well one of them was technically a day date, but I’m counting it. When one of our couple friends asked us out for a casual double date, we jumped at the chance to spend a night out of the house catching up with friends. I also took the chance to dress up a little in this denim jumpsuit. It’s such a cute piece for date night. I wore it with wedges, but I think I much prefer it with the pops of color in my shoes and earrings.
I have stayed away from the jumpsuit trend because I haven’t found one that fit right yet. This one fit perfect, and I love that the bottom can be rolled up to work for my petite height. The fitted style of this denim number makes it perfect to wear all by itself, but you can easily get double duty by wearing these as overalls with a fitted top underneath. See them worn here with an off the shoulder top. You can dress them up with a pretty lace top or dress them down with a fitted tshirt. Also, this jumpsuit does have small cutout on the back, but it’s still bra-friendly.
Hope you all have a fabulous long weekend!

Valentine’s Day Outfit: Red Bow Skirt
Hello Ladies! Are you ready for a week of Valentine’s Day inspiration?? All 3 posts this week will have a little Valentine’s Day theme starting off with some date night outfit inspiration. Red and pink is the perfect color combination for a Valentine’s Day outfit! I love mixing these colors year round. It’s such a fun color mix to pull out especially this month.
This red bow skirt is perfect for date night!!! The cute bow detail adds something fun and the flared design adds something flirty to the mix. If you want to add a little subtle sexiness to the look, you could swap out my pink sleeveless blouse for a black bodysuit. You can still keep the color mix with pink heels. I went with this pink blouse to make this a great work to date night outfit. This pink blouse is one of those classic pieces to wear in summer with shorts or white jeans and with layers in the winter. With the super flared skirt, you want to keep your top fitted or just slightly loose. This blouse would be a good example of slightly loose but not too loose. Any bigger and your proportions might be off and it might make you look bigger with the high volume skirt.
If you are looking for more places to wear this outfit or skirt, I think it would be cute to wear to a wedding or shower. I’m planning to pull this skirt out again for Christmas parties at the end of the year!
What are you Valentine’s Day plans? We are planning a quiet night in and cooking a fancy dinner. Neither of us are big fans of the pre-fix menus and decided to go out another night and enjoy a full menu selection at a nice restaurant. Stay tuned this week for more Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s Day outfit inspiration! See you again soon friends.

Blue Tunic Top + Faux Leather Leggings
Is it time to pull out the leather leggings yet? I have had this pair for a few years, and I always love that instant chic factor they give to a look! You may remember I purchased the Spanx faux leather leggings during the Nordstrom sale. Sad news though, I accidentally tossed them out when I was cleaning up post sale. They had fallen into a shoe box with black tissue paper, and I didn’t realize it until a few days later. Ya’ll I was so bummed! I’m hoping to find them on sale again and re-purchase.
I like the ones I’m wearing because they have more of a leather look to them where the Spanx ones look like coated leggings up close. BUT my current ones tend to look loose around the knees and the spanx ones stay fit to the leg. It kind of depends on the look you are going for and the price. My current ones are cheaper than the spanx ones. FYI – the ones linked are the same brand and style, just there current version. Mine are from about 2-3 years ago, and the quality is good for the price. After a few years of wearing and washing, they still look new too!
An easy pairing with leather leggings is a tunic top and suede boots. For all my petite gals out there, this blue henley tunic top is the perfect length!! I plan to buy it in more colors because the length is so perfect! These tops go with everything and come in so many colors! Pair them over leggings with skinny jeans and booties, tucked into a skirt, or a front tuck with shorts and sneakers. It’s a great top to have in your closet, and bonus it usually doesn’t need ironing!
This outfit has me ready for girls’ night out or date night!

Hello Ladies! I warned you I had more sheer tops coming in the future! Look closely though, this sheer top is actually a bodysuit, and I’m kinda in love. The fact that this flowy chiffon look is also a bodysuit help keep that perfectly tucked in look all day or night. You can wear this out for a night of dancing without worrying about it coming untucked!
The sheer chiffon layer paired with the black cami is perfect to go from work day to date night. I pair this with a pencil skirt for the office, or you could also pair it with a pair of gray or colored slacks. To transition this long sleeve bodysuit to night, change into a pair of your favorite skinny jeans and heels or a cute little mini skirt with boots.
I opted to go sans a necklace and opt for a pop of color with my feather earrings and dark pink clutch. You could also go with stud earrings and a long pendant necklace for a different look.
Also because I feel it’s uber important info to have for all bodysuits, this one snaps at the bottom for easy bathroom access and has a thong fit on the bottom. Have you tried out a bodysuit yet? Love them or leave them?
