If you count the number of flats, sneakers, and slip-ons in my closet, the number is considerably low compared to my heel and wedged shoes. Although on most weekends when I am out running errands around town, I often toss on a flat pair of shoes. I love these Toms slip-on shoes! I wear them on all my dog walks or when we go to the dog park. They are super comfy especially if you are going to be on your feet all day. I decided to buy a pair after a trip to Disneyworld. I saw so many people with them on. I definitely see why, and they will definitely be in my bag for all future Disney trips. If you have any vacations coming up with lots of walking, I highly recommend. I would size down though, I’m wearing a half size down.
I am loving this gray striped tee for spring! It’s ridiculously comfortable and under $30. I wore it with this look over the weekend, and wore it to work tucked into my flared black work pants. I may have also slept in it one night too. Hey, it’s really comfy and I love the gray and white stripe. This shirt will look really cute with my white denim or distressed jean shorts this spring and summer. Yep, that probably means you will see it again either here or over on Instagram.
I hope ya’ll have a great Friday and a fun weekend! Thanks for swinging by the blog this week!

I am 100% writing this while watching the Super Bowl, the 4th quarter to be exact. While I was kind of rooting for both teams, I thought Carolina was going to easily run away with the game. Imagine my shock to be sitting here with Denver about to win. I am still happy if Denver wins for Peyton Manning. He definitely deserves it!
But enough football, let’s talk this fab winter office outfit. I don’t own too many turtlenecks because I find some uncomfortable. Especially since we haven’t really had a good winter here yet. The turtleneck portion of this one is a bit loose though which makes it a bit more comfy and wonderfully warm on cold days. I really like pairing a longer sweater with my flared skirt to tame the flare a bit. It kind of creates a different silhouette for the skirt. I also added my black tights I shared last week. I love pairing my black tights with these Elaine Turner dress booties. They are perfect for the office! I bought these last year, so I linked a similar pair for you above. I also went with my new Jetsetter mini because I wanted to show that this cute pink bag can work for both weekend casual and office chic.
And with the end of this post, the Denver Broncos and Peyton Manning have won the Super Bowl! Now to start the countdown until next football season and the next Super Bowl which is here in Houston!

Closet Staples and a Pink Backpack
| DETAILS |

Ya’ll I am so excited for today’s post, because I am madly in love with my new pink backpack purse! I have had my eye on the Jetsetter from Henri Bendel for quite some time now. I originally went to the store to check out the non-mini version, but it was just a bit too big for what I was looking for. When I saw they had made a mini version, I knew I needed it. It was all about waiting for the perfect color to come along. This pink color was just released earlier this week, and it was the perfect color that I was waiting for. It’s kind of a pink coral color, perfect for spring and summer. My favorite thing about this bag is that it is three bags in one – a backpack, crossbody, and satchel. The beige straps can unhook and move around to create different ways to carry this purse. I have a few trips planned this spring and summer, and this bag is going to be so perfect for travel or just running errands on weekends.
I also recently added a couple closet staples to my wardrobe. One is these new distressed skinny jeans. I like that they have minimal distressing and that the holes are backlined. Best part of these – the price tag! These babies come in at only $88! I did have to size down. I originally ordered my regular jean size, but after about an hour I knew I had to go down a size. I often will wear a new brand of jeans for about an hour around my house with tags on to see how they stretch. This was actually something a salesperson recommended to me once. I don’t do anything major just move around enough to see if they will stretch or not.
My other addition is this black top. I know nothing super special, but a black top like this is so versatile. I currently own one with a dolman/batwing sleeve and wear it all the time. The sleeve prevents me from being able to layer really well with it though which is why I wanted a new one. The 3/4 length sleeve and thin material makes it wearable year round. It comes in a few other color and print options too. I also just saw that a few of them are on sale for 40% off. I’m hoping the white goes on sale soon too. I mean it’s a closet staple. I should have it in multiple colors right?!?! Haha. Hope ya’ll have a great rest of your day and thanks for stopping by!

The Perfect Thanksgiving Outfit
| DETAILS |
OLD NAVY Classic V-Neck Sweater in Blackberry Jamming | WHBM Skinny Jeans | ENZO ANGIOLINI Holdyn Over the Knee Boots [ON SALE HERE] | HENRI BENDEL c/o West 57th Satchel | KENDRA SCOTT Harlie Necklace, Grady Bracelet | GORJANA Zion Necklace, Chloe Studs | BAUBLEBAR Slim Hinge Bangle | RAYBAN Aviator Sunglasses | ESSIE Nail Polish in Plumberry | MAC Lipstick in Craving
Of all three looks this week, I think this just might be my perfect Thanksgiving outfit! A light sweater, tall boots, and a little statement jewelry is one of my go-to fall outfits. I love the casual aspect of this outfit with the pullover sweater and jeans. These riding boots are just slightly over the knee which creates a bit of a different look than my normal riding boots. I purchased these boots last fall, but I found them still available! While the boots keep this look a little dressed down, I made sure to still add a little something sparkly with my Harlie necklace. I love the iridescent white stone from Kendra Scott. At times you only see a white stone, but as you move and the light hits it you see the different colors bouncing off of it. My pictures honestly do not do this beautiful stone its justice! This look is a little bit relaxed casual and a little bit dressed up casual which is why for me it is just perfect!
I hope you enjoyed all the Thanksgiving outfit inspiration this week, and hopefully found a few ideas for the holiday or just for the fall season. I am off to the Nutcracker Market today with some girlfriends. The market is huge and amazing, and one of my favorite things to do in Houston in November. I take off work every year to attend. The market is filled with boutiques, holiday decorations, gift ideas, and food! The ticket and even some of the sales benefit the Houston Ballet Foundation. If you live in Houston, the market runs through Sunday and is definitely a fun holiday experience!!
