Okay, I’m pretty sure I have found the perfect little black dress you will wear all holiday season.  This dress will take you from work to date night, happy hour, or post work event seamlessly.  It would also be perfect to wear to an office holiday party or dinner party. Overall, I would wear this outfit to work exactly as is except I would probably go with a little less glam earring choice like studs or simple hoops.  Transitioning this dress from day to night can be easy as changing out your accessories. You can add a pair of statement earrings like I did in this post.  Changing out your heels to a fun colorful pair like red for a holiday party or date night is another simple swap.  Metallic heels are so popular right now and would be perfect for an event or happy hour.

I have such a weakness for little black dresses that can work so perfectly in a variety of situations with just a few accessory swaps.  I love this dress for the holidays because the calendar is filled with parties and events and having one dress for all of them can be good for your budget.  This dress can be glammed up or kept very simple to work in a variety of parties from cocktail to Thanksgiving dinner to casual post work drinks with friends.  If you want one dress that will carry you from fall to winter, I found it!

Speaking of holiday parties, I am headed to a fun Halloween party this weekend!  I’m so excited to be gathered with all my friends and catch up.  I’m a huge fan of dressing up and playing with fun makeup ideas, and so are many of my friends.  I can’t wait to see what everyone wears this year.  I hope ya’ll have a fabulous weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Hello friends!  How was your weekend?  Mine was productive and busy,  filled with errands and crossing items off my to do list.  It always feels so good to have one of those get all the things done weekends.  It’s been a bit since I shared an Instagram roundup, and I’m hoping to do this monthly or every couple of months.  I love showcasing some of my personal favorite outfits from the gram for those of you who don’t use it or who do and want the outfit details without LiketoKnow.it.

My September and October roundup is filled with fall outfit ideas for work, weekend, and date night.  Our fall so far has been mostly warm and these outfits definitely reflect that!  I share more daily outfits in Instastories.  If you don’t watch or have Instagram, you can see most of these daily outfits on my Shop Instagram page.  You just click the pic and the outfit details will open up.  I upload all the info there for easy access.  Enjoy the fall outfit inspiration and hope you have a fabulous Halloween week!

Happy Friday!!  Summer wedding season is officially underway, and I wanted to share a few ideas on what to wear to a Summer wedding including this gorgeous black lace bodycon dress.  When picking the perfect dress, I consider time of the wedding, requested attire, and price.  I love this black lace dress for an evening wedding and cocktail attire.

When I saw this dress a few months ago, I was shocked that it was just over $100.  The quality of this dress feels like it should be much more.   As soon as this dress came back in stock in my size, I jumped on it.  This bodycon dress will also be great for fall weddings and holiday parties too.  It will definitely be my go to little black dress for any upcoming events.

I also found a few more dress ideas below trying to stay around the $100 range.  These dresses range from daytime to evening options.  I love the flowy, floral, bright colors for daytime, and the fitted and lace options for an evening wedding.  I also included a few fit and flare styles that would work for both day and evening.

Happy Friday!!!  It’s been the busiest work week. I am so ready for this weekend.  Last week, a few blogger pals and I headed to the local roller skating rink for a fun girls’ night out.  It was so much fun. By the end of the night, we all had our skating moves down.

A local photographer joined us to snap some pics of our night out, #bloggerlife 🙂  Ya’ll, outfit photos in roller skates is no joke.  The photographer was super awesome at helping me not look like I was about to fall. ha!

We sort of themed the night out 70s style, and I went with a jewel toned bodysuit, skinny jeans, and my double hoop earrings.  Yes, I am officially in love with bodysuits.  This one has super drape front top.  I think it would be super cute with a long black lace bandeau underneath it. The drape will expose whatever you have on under it.   I ended up just pinning it because I didn’t have anything I really liked that would look cute showing.  If you want to check out the other girls’ outfits, I shared a group pic at the end of the post.

I hope you have a fabulous first weekend of summer!  Thanks for stopping by!
