Hello Lovelies! Hope ya’ll had a wonderful weekend.  We meant to be more productive, but then ended up watching National Treasure instead.  We’ve seen both so many times, but it still sucks us in every time.  Anyone else watch a good movie over the weekend?

Anyway, I wore this outfit to date night a couple weeks ago.  It was the perfect outfit for the casual fancy restaurant.  This ruffle one shoulder top is a chambray like material.  It has a denim look, but it’s very lightweight.  I’m going to love the lightweight part for summer.  I say this every time, but I think this is the last one shoulder top I’m going to buy….  until I found another irresistible one. 🙂

I feel like whenever you see chambray in Spring, it’s primarily paired with white pants or shorts.  For an edgier night look, I decided to pair my chambray top with black skinny jeans.  I did add some Spring accessories with my white earrings and colorful block heel sandals, so it still felt bright and springy.

Ya’ll I’m obsessed with these white earrings.  I’m preparing you now, you will see them many more times this season.  I didn’t realize how much I needed a white statement earring until these arrived in the mail.  White goes with everything, and it really pulls an outfit together where prints and multiple colors are involved.

Hello February!  How about we kick off this month with this gorgeous Valentine’s Day outfit for work and date night.  Valentine’s Day falls on a Tuesday this year, pretty much right smack in the middle of the work week.  For us office-goers, the easiest date night solution is to plan an outfit that works for both day and night.

I purchased this skirt over a year ago, and it’s still available.  It’s a classic silhouette, and the thick material means lots of winter rotation!  I love the full shape and midi length, perfect length for the office.  The color though that is what makes me feel all the Valentine’s day vibes.  It’s just the most gorgeous shade of dark pink.  I paired this skirt with my classic black crewneck sweater to keep this look office friendly, but I added a glam statement necklace to make this look work for date night too.

I also added a great pair of nude heels that are both office and date friendly.  For all my short girls, nude heels are the perfect pairing for midi skirts because they give an optical illusion of long legs!  Trade out your office tote for this classic black clutch, and you will be on your way to that romantic date night.

Now just don’t forget to make those dinner reservations!  If you are looking for a few gift ideas, check my last post for idea for her and him.  Ya’ll have a great rest of the week, and thanks for swinging by today!

Hey Ya’ll!!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend! My mom, sister, and I drove down to Galveston yesterday for the Historic Homes Tour.  You get to tour several area homes to learn about their past and how they were restored.  Many of the homes on this tour survived the 1900 Great Hurricane!  I love learning about the homes and seeing how they are decorated, plus the fun little family day!!  It was lots of walking and hot out, so now I’m a little tired.  One of those I really could use one more day this weekend kinda tired! Extra Coffee please!!

I originally grabbed this dress because on the hanger it looked a bit more casual, and I thought it would be perfect for vacation or nights out when we go to Galveston.  Once I tried it on though, I realized it was the perfect dress for work and happy hour.  I am always on the hunt for dresses that can be easily styled for both places.  I ended up wearing this a couple weeks ago for the Shop with Heart card launch party.  For work, I wore some nude peep toe pumps to make it more office friendly.  After work, all I had to do was change out my shoes to easily transition this dress for the event.  I love the print and colors of this dress.  It really helps give it a unique stand out look. Bonus, the dress is only $70 which is a pretty nice price considering how much I am planning on wearing it this summer!

I hope ya’ll have a great week and thanks for stopping by!
