Date Night Outfit: Red Deep V Blouse & Link Up
Hello friends! Do I have the perfect date night top for ya’ll today or what? The color red is totally having a moment right now and is a current color trend. Although, I feel weird calling the color red a trend, because I feel like red is always in style. It’s the perfect power color to wear to stand out or keep the attention of say your hot date. 🙂
One of my favorite date night looks is subtle sexy. This red deep v blouse is so perfect for that vibe. The plunging deep v and little shoulder slits show just enough skin in the right places for a little sex appeal, but overall you are really pretty covered up. I always feel like people think sex appeal means show as much skin as you can get away with, but I love little peeks in just the right places.
This top comes in a few color options, but I could not resist such a gorgeous style in this bold red shade. Black skinny jeans were the perfect pairing to complete my date night look. I think this outfit would be cute if you were meeting someone for drinks.
Also, I love pairing booties with skinny jeans, but I feel like these pictures don’t show just how cute the skinny jean tucked into a bootie can be. My main tip is too make sure the jean is a more tapered fit at the ankle to prevent to much bulk and risk making the ankle look bulky. I still haven’t had these jeans hemmed, so that’s probably why it looks off to me. #procrastinator I don’t want to have to give them up for a week. I wear them too much.

The Perfect Holiday Sweater + Link Up
Hello friends! Is it too early to start planning holiday outfits?? November always seems to be the start of the holiday party season, so if you are an early bird this may be the perfect time to start picking out a few party ready pieces.
Enter this sweatshirt. Yes, you read that correctly this gorgeous chic top is a cozy, soft, and comfy SWEATSHIRT! I ordered it because I loved the really cool slightly dramatic sleeve and oh hi it’s burgundy. The sweatshirt description didn’t click until I put it on. Umm, did I just find the perfect holiday sweater, I think I might have. Holiday parties are all about dressing up in your chicest attire, and you can go in a sweatshirt and still look super chic. I love it. This top also looks cute tucked into a black pencil skirt for work.
Ok, let’s also talk about these boots. I really needed new black slouchy boots. My current pair should have retired last year. My family knows me well and sent me lots of Nordstrom gift cards for my birthday in August, so I decided to splurge and buy these boots with them. Boots are an investment, and the purchase always makes me nervous, but I cannot be more happy with them. These boots are so beautiful and the perfect amount of slouchiness while still holding the tall shape. Plus, they are the perfect shaft height for my 5’3 frame.
Two things to mention, they are narrow in the toe bed. If you have a wider foot, they may not fit or might be uncomfortable. Second, they are a pull on boot aka no zipper to make it easier. I haven’t had any problems putting them on, but I know some don’t like tall pull on only boots. Also, I’m wearing my normal shoe size.
Alright ya’ll, thanks for stopping by today. Have a great week, and don’t forget to check out the Style File Link Up for even more outfit inspiration!

Lightweight Sweater for Fall & Link Up
Hello, Hello! How was your weekend? Mine went by too fast as always. I had a pretty laid back weekend and caught up on things around the house. Catch up weekends are sometimes the perfect way to start a new month because I start with a clean house and a shorter to do list.
Yep, I’m still loving this blush pink and gray color combo. It’s a fun and pretty break from my normal dark and jewel tones of the season. You may remember the last time I wore these jeans with my pink cardigan HERE.
Texas fall and winter can be a bit on the warmer side which is why I love this lightweight sweater for fall. First, it’s a thinner knit so you will not get overly warm as with a chunky knit sweater. Second, I love the flowy movement. It helps allow air in, so you can breathe and stay cool. An a-line sweater design is perfect for a long pendant necklace too.
Alright ya’ll, it’s Style File Link Up day, so be sure to keep on scrolling and share your fall outfit inspiration! I can’t wait to check them all out.

Blush Pink Cardigan + Gray Jeans under $100
Happy Friday!! It has been such a busy week at work, so I’m really excited to see Friday finally get here. Tonight’s plans include relaxing on the couch in pjs with a glass of wine, and I can’t wait for it.
I love all the darker and jewel tone colors of fall, but blush pink is one color I’m planning to let invade a bit of my fall wardrobe this season. This lighter pink shade grows on me more and more with each season it’s popular. When it first made it’s appearance a few years ago being the pantone color of the year, I didn’t fully embrace it. I think I have to find that perfect blush pink to really love it, and this cardigan is the perfect shade.
When wearing these pastel colors in fall, I like to pair them with other neutral or light colors. Gray and blush pink are to me the perfect color combo. BTW- I’ve had these under $100 jeans for a few seasons now. They are comfy and good quality, especially for the price tag! This outfit would also work with white jeans, and taupe booties or tall boots. I also wore this cardigan last week over a basic work look to add a little sophisticated color. You can see it over on my Instagram HERE. Black, white, and pink is another favorite color combo with this cardigan.
Side Note: This cardigan is lightweight and semi-sheer. In some of the photos, you can see the sleeve of my tee showing through. It wasn’t a dealbreaker for me because I love the color, but I wanted to be sure and point it out.
So I feel like every time I have posted a cardigan lately, they end up selling out a day or two before. I try and check these things, but these cardigans they go fast! This blush pink cardigan was in stock in all sizes when I checked last night AND comes in a few other colors! I’ll try to check on the burgundy ones I have posted for a restock and let ya’ll know. I’m noticing the colors tend to go before the neutrals like gray and beige. Something to keep in mind while you cardigan shop.
Ya’ll have a great weekend, and thanks so much for stopping by today!
