Work Wear: Button Pencil Skirt & Link Up
Good Morning! First off, THANK YOU for all of your sweet comments last week. With the events unfolding here in Houston, I decided to take the week off from blogging. Every few days I would check in on the blog and loved reading all of your messages. The Texas Gulf coast is slowly entering recovery mode. Some areas are still experiencing flooding as the water flows through rivers and bayous to head off into the Gulf of Mexico. Texas has a long road of recovery ahead of us. It has been wonderful seeing people drop everything to go help friends and strangers repair homes.
I decided to ease back into sharing outfits on the blog this week. I love this little space of mine. The break was necessary, but I’m ready to get back to it. I’m starting off with this cute little work outfit. A few weeks ago, I headed into Loft during one of their 40% off sales and found this gorgeous blue button pencil skirt. I was drawn to the color and loved the button details. It’s a wrap skirt design, and perfect for the office. Sizing Note: I’m wearing the petite.
Ya’ll Loft might be my new favorite place for soft and cozy tees that are not super see through. I purchased this gray tank earlier this summer. I’ve loved wearing it so much that I decided to buy the tee version in black. Because a black tee is the perfect year round basic. It’s the perfect compliment to this skirt for a cute work wear outfit. I have also paired it with white shorts (as seen here) for a more casual look.
It’s also Style File Link Up day, so scroll on down for more outfit inspiration. Thanks for stopping by!

Accessory Love: Turquoise Y Choker Necklace
Hello friends! It has been a busy few days here in Houston. Everyone is preparing for Hurricane Harvey to drench pretty much the entire Texas coast starting today and going through mid next week. We’ve been prepping for a long weekend indoors. Fingers crossed, we don’t lose power because that always makes the situation more difficult.
Anyway enough weather talk, let’s talk about this outfit – mainly this super adorable necklace. I have been seeking out a few more turquoise jewelry pieces lately. This ring is high on my wish list! For me, turquoise jewelry adds that casual boho vibe to any outfit. This one is a pre-layered y choker necklace, so you just clasp at the back and have gorgeous necklace layers. The y dips low, so you add this to a deeper vneck to add a little sexiness to any outfit. You can also pair it with a crew neck tee and let all the layers fall on top the tee.
I loved the turquoise mixed with the purple of this tank. I think the colors compliment each other well. I saw this tank is currently sold out in this color. A few more color options were available, but going fast. I’m really hoping they bring it back in a few fall colors like olive, because it’s perfect for layering.
Alright you guys, thanks for stopping by the blog today. If you are in Houston or Texas, please stay safe and dry. Pending I don’t lose power, I will see you guys back here next week!

Easy Summer Outfit in Olive Pants
Happy Friday!!! This easy summer outfit has been on major repeat on my weekends lately. It’s comfy and easy to throw on, but it still has a chic put together feel to it. I kept my jewelry more basic less statement with lightweight and simple pieces. This outfit has been so perfect for running errands on all the HOT days we have had recently. You can also dress it up a bit with wedges and a statement jewelry piece for a casual party/lunch look.
I own these pants in pink (last seen here), and I think they are so comfy. The cotton twill material help keeps you a little cooler on hot days. Plus, the looser fit is oh so comfy. I really wanted olive pants, because I think it’s a good year round color. This olive to me is a bit more gray olive than green olive. I think they look greener on the site than they do in person.
I hope you guys have a great weekend, and thank so much for taking some time to stop by and visit today.

Red Off the Shoulder Blouse + LINK UP
Hello lovelies!! So about a month or so ago, I was reading an article about Victoria Beckham, one of my celebrity style faves. She talked about colors affecting your mood, and red being happy, optimistic, and strong. She was wearing a red dress at the time for one of her collection launches at Saks.
I really liked the idea of color boosting your mood and making you feel strong, powerful and a little happy too. It was on my mind when I was trying to decide on which color to buy this gorgeous top in. It comes in 14 different colors and prints. I saw the red, and my mind thought back to that article and said yep I’m getting this in red.
I love off the shoulder tops that have some support at the neckline. It holds them in place, so no worries about keeping your top up. The flowy chiffon material is so pretty and moves really well. It is slightly sheer in the body portion. I didn’t feel like I needed anything under the red, but a lighter shade might need something. Bonus by the way, this top is currently on sale for 40% off!
Another good thing about this red off the shoulder blouse, it is going to transition perfectly into fall with some black jeans.
Alright you guys, it’s Style File Link Up day!!! Keep on scrolling to share a little style inspiration or to check out more outfit ideas. Thanks for stopping by ya’ll.
