Instagram Roundup – Fall Outfit Ideas
Happy Friday!! It has been quite some time since I shard a little Instagram Roundup. I have been trying to share more daily outfit inspiration over on my Instagram account (@karen.rock). I use the LiketoKnow.it service, so I can share all my outfit details with you if you’re interested. When items are older, I usually try to find similar ones or let you know who made the original.
This week has been crazy busy, so I honestly have not posted very much this week. One of those weeks where I’m busy from the moment I get up to the moment my head hits the pillow at night. But next week, I hope to get back into the swing of posting. If you use Instagram, you can follow along at @karen.rock. I share a good mix of work and casual outfit ideas, and remixes of items you have seen here on the blog.
I’m going to try and be better at doing these roundup posts for those of you who don’t use Instagram. I love putting outfits together, so I love having that IG platform to share what I come up with each day. You can also check my Shop Instagram page too. It updates in real time with my IG account.
Ya’ll have a fabulous weekend. Enjoy the outfit inspiration and thanks for stopping by this week!

Gray Work Pants + Perfect Layering Top
It’s here! All my bags are packed, and I am Vegas bound! I’m so pumped for my girlfriend’s bachelorette party in Las Vegas. Thanks for your suggestions on daytime things to do. Ya’ll had some good ideas for me.
Awkward timing considering I’m in vacay mode right now, but today I’m sharing a little work day outfit inspiration. These pieces are two of my favorite work wear additions for fall. First, these gray work pants are hands down my favorite. I now own them in black, maroon, and gray. I also plan on buying more colors as the seasons change. These pants are comfy with a hint of stretch. They stay pretty wrinkle free throughout the work day. I’m 5’3, and I find the petite pants at Loft are the perfect length for me.
I’m a layering girl during the work day. My office is cold, outdoors is usually not. So anytime I find a cute easily layered top, I swipe it up. This top is gorgeous standing alone or layered under a gray, black or ivory cardigan. You can also pair with a blazer or even a leather jacket for an edgier look.
Outside the office, pair this top with jeans for a weekend date night outfit or with a leather skirt like I did here for a little blogger happy hour last weekend. It’s so versatile, and it also comes in black. I’m heavily considering buying the black one, because you can never have too many black tops. Sizing note: I’m wearing the small, but after wearing a couple times I think I probably could have gone down to XS. The arm holes are the area that are the slightest bit big and can show the bra a bit. Not really noticeable probably to anyone but me.
Alright ya’ll have a great weekend, and I will see you back here next week. Thanks for reading!

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!

Burgundy Floral Blouse for Work & Play + Link Up
Hi! I hope you all had a good weekend! I purchased this burgundy floral blouse during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, because I felt it had some good versatility to it. It’s lightweight so seasonally it can work in hot summer weather, but the the colors are perfect for fall. Also Texas fall is still warm, so the lightweight aspect helps there too.
I also love the kind of boxier design of the top to perfectly pair with my black skinny jeans and heels for a dressier weekend outfit. For a super similar work version of this outfit, you can pair this top with black skinny slacks like my go to pair. I actually wore that look to work recently. You can also tuck this top into a pencil skirt for an additional work look. I also really want to pair this top with gray jeans for another casual look.
The back of this top has a cute little v cutout detail, and you can still wear a regular bra with it. I think it’s a cute detail if you want to wear your hair up. Also, this top also comes in black if you need a really good basic black top for work.
Alright ya’ll it’s Style File Link Up Day so keep scrolling for more outfit inspiration, and thanks for swinging by today!
