Thanksgiving Style

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and a great weekend, I know I did. It was small and nice with family, full of food and obviously style! I had my outfit picked out two days before Thanksgiving even came! It came to me when I was falling asleep, I’ve said before, my best ideas come when I am falling asleep…that can be very frustrating especially when you wake up the next morning and can’t remember, all you remember is that you had a great idea! Anyways, I was in Old Navy and discovered that EVERYTHING was 40% off. I had been looking for a black dress specifically to wear with boots that you’ll soon see, once I see them since I accidentally had them delivered to my parents and didn’t realize before I hit submit checkout. Well I tried on a few black dresses and the one I really liked they didn’t have my size, so while looking around for more I saw they had grey, which although very cute, wouldn’t go with my new boots as they are also grey. The grey dress was by a different black dress that I actually ended up loving and bought, which you’ll see once I get my boots and wear them together (I can’t wait!). 

When I went to bed that night it came to me! I wanted that grey dress now, to wear with my cream knee highs and cognac Madden Girl boots. It sounded perfect. I had the socks and boots, all I needed was the dress, and a long gold necklace. I went to the Old Navy by my work when I got off the next day and of course they did not have my size in the dress. So I went out of my way on the way home to go back to the Old Navy I was at the night before. Luckily they had ONE left in my size. I bought it, I didn’t even try it on, I was sure it would fit. The next day I went to Charming Charlie after work to find a necklace, I had a coupon of course, and ended up making out there! You’ll see these new necklaces throughout my upcoming posts since I am excited to wear them all. I happened to find the exact kind of necklace I was looking for. I love it when things work out this easily! 

In the end, I was very pleased with how this outfit turned out and I already want to wear it again!

  

 
  
  
 
My sisters even came in grey dresses! It’s becoming a tradition I think to match on Thanksgiving since my little sister and I did last year too on accident!

Friendsgiving 2015

Last night my friends and I had this year’s Friendsgiving, hosted again by the lovely Amanda, you may know her from her blog Glitter it Gold, if not, do yourself a favor and check her out. It was a great night of food, friends, and fall fashion! Oh and wine. Amanda did a great job setting up, and cooking the main course obviously.

 

 

It was a really fun night and I look forward to continuing this tradition every year. It really made it feel like the holidays are coming, and we all got to wear cute fall outfits! I just got these booties at Target and I LOVE them! The high platform made them so comfy. I wore them all night and never felt the need to take them off. My sweater and flannel are both from Target as well and I was so excited to pair them together. When I saw the booties I knew I had to get them to finish my outfit. Plus I worked an hour of overtime this week which paid for my booties so that means they were like free, right? Right! Check the combination out below!

Classy Country

I have been loving this cold weather, please keep it coming! (Even though it is supposed to be warmer this weekend, boo) Lately I haven’t been picking out my outfits the night before which is bad. If I don’t pick my outfit out the night before I’m either running late to work or end up in an outfit I do not care for. I thought of this one as I was drifting off to sleep last night. I remembered my roomie gave me an oversized tan blazer she didn’t want anymore because she had another one that was too similar. I figured why not pair it with a flannel (from Target of course) and boots and look what happened, it was cute! Perfect for being casual in the office yet somewhat dressy.

Today’s outfit got several different reactions. The girls at work all thought it was cute and fun. One of the guys at work asked why I was going for the “old lady” look, and finally my boyfriend asked why I was dressed like a grandma. Don’t boys know anything?! I wore this because it is cute obviously. It’s cold outside, this is a sweater, it just happens to have a cat on it, which I also happen to like cats! 

Anyways I don’t care what boys think because they clearly know nothing about fashion. I got this sweater from who else but Maison Jules at Macy’s, and just look how cute it is! I paired it with a denim collard button up with the cuffs out of the ends of the sleeves, black skinnies (which you can find here also from Maison Jules which are SOO comfy), low heeled brown boots, and topped it off with a double strand of pearls. Yes I agree it is old fashioned but it doesn’t make it any less cute! Check it out…

  
Channel you’re inner cat lady! Stay warm everyone!
PS- update on NANOWRIMO… I got behind because I got home late yesterday from a family matter, but don’t worry! I’m almost caught up. I think I should be at 5,000 words and I’m at 3,335 which is exactly two days. So since it’s day three I can split today’s words into two and be totally caught up by Thursday… Well that’s the plan so we will see!

Not Okay

Seriously something is wrong. I don’t know why, but it has been happening all week! I can’t seem to find anything to wear! It is seriously awful. I am going crazy. It’s not like I don’t have clothes, anyone knows I have PLENTY, I just have no inspiration this week. All of my outfits have been so basic and not creative at all. I even went to three different stores to try to find a dress for a party my sister is throwing next week and I found nothing! One of those stores was a pretty big Forever 21 and only one thing slightly caught my eye and I still decided no. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME 😭? 

I am going to blame the weather. We are getting to that stage where it’s finally starting to cool down, and by cool I mean low 80’s so it is still not cold enough to wear sweaters. I think I am so over my summer clothes but am unable to wear any fall/winter clothes. Can’t it just be cold so I can get out of this funk?! I need some inspiration stat.

Let’s Talk Socks – #5

This is the last style for my series Let’s Talk Socks! I have had so much fun styling these for you so I really want to thank Chrissy’s Knee High Socks for this opportunity. I cannot wait for all the other ways I can style these knee and thigh highs throughout the fall and winter. Until then, check out this last pair…

Casual Friday

These “Vegas Gold” socks are probably the most versatile pair that I got just because of the basic, neutral color. They can match with almost anything, not to mention, they are so soft and comfy! Since they are basic I chose a basic, casual style. I paired these knee highs with my brown Steve Madden combat boots and black leggings. The key to these socks was the scrunching them down towards my boots, not only because it is a cute way to wear them, but also because of the length and the height of the boots. The difference these socks make in this outfit is amazing. Without them this outfit would be okay, just normal, but add the socks and it is totally stylish. It looks like so much more effort was put in when really all you did was put on knee high socks. Anyways, for a top I chose a white and burgundy striped, loose long sleeve from Old Navy. To add just a little something extra I added a two toned blue and gold statement necklace that absolutely didn’t match, yet it worked! Weird how that happens huh? Being Friday I thought a casual Friday outfit would be perfect. Check it out…

Let’s Talk Socks – #4

I am down to my second to last style of Let’s Talk Socks! Again I have teamed up with Chrissy’s Knee High Socks to bring you a week of styling knee and thigh high socks. You can catch up on the first three styles HERE, HERE, and HERE! Now for today’s…

What Does the Sox Say?!

These. Socks. Are. ADORABLE! These have to be the most perfect and fun Fall socks. I kept the outfit fairly simple because I didn’t want to take away from the socks too much. I paired these cuties with my cognac Madden Girl boots, a simple synched waist black dress, a tan leather belt, and topped it off with my camouflage utility jacket from Forever 21 with the sleeves cuffed, and a simple long black and gold necklace from Charming Charlie. I am like a hunter and a fox in the same outfit! PS- I know it is hard to see but I think I actually achieved a Serena Van der Woodsen ponytail! GO ME! Anywise check out the look…

Let’s Talk Socks – #3

If you haven’t been following this week, I have teamed up with Chrissy’s Knee High Socks to bring you a week of styling knee and thigh high socks! (If you want to catch up then read: Let’s Talk Socks – #1 and Let’s Talk Socks – #2) The last two posts were featuring thigh highs so today I am changing it up and debuting some knee socks…

Plaid and Polka Dots

I know plaid and polka dots may sound like a weird combination, but don’t knock it before you see it! If you’re daring enough, try pattern mixing, it is actually fun and you can make some cute outfits. I know my sisters would be so proud of me because I am usually always the matching one. These still kind of match though with the colors. Anyways this is a perfect winter outfit for really any occasion: going out, at work, in class, or even doing nothing but you still want to look cute. You know, like when you need to run to Target and you still want to look cute but not like you’re trying to look cute for Target. It is an effortlessly cute outfit. Not to mention it is pretty warm and cozy. I rocked these socks slightly scrunched down with black Steve Madden combat boots, thick warm black leggings (these can be substituted with any tight black bottoms), a navy, white, and red flannel from Target, a button up, navy cardigan from G Stage (the sleeves of the flannel HAVE to come out of the bottom of the sleeves of the cardigan and cuffed over to make this outfit work otherwise it is kind of dark, it just adds a little extra), and a navy and gold statement necklace from Charming Charlie. The whole outfit blended really well. Take a look…

Let’s Talk Socks – #2

Today is the second day of my week of socks- Let’s Talk Socks! I’ve teamed up with Chrissy’s Knee High Socks to style five different pairs of knee and thigh highs. Today I am featuring… 

Sweater Thigh Highs

These graphite gray thigh highs are amazing!  They are like sweaters for you feet and legs. I was really excited for this outfit. It is color blocked with neutrals that mix so well together. I paired these socks with my low heeled boots from Target, my green Maison Jules skirt (with pockets!), basic gray high neck tank from Old Navy, a wonderfully warm long open knit cardigan from Maison Jules, and one of my favorite edgy sparkly statement necklaces from Charming Charlie. I absolutely love this outfit. It’s perfect for pretty much ANY occasion. Yes call me lame but I am planning on wearing this to a pumpkin patch. That will make for such cute pictures! Anyways, check it out…
