When the weather starts to change so do my favorite pieces in my closet. Instead of gravitating towards my light weight pencil skirts and dress pants for work, it’s usually suede or corduroy for this girl. I picked up this skirt recently and have had so much fun styling it different ways for work.

Depending on how laid back your office is, another way to style this skirt would be with a pair of riding boots and a button down. Honestly the possibilities are endless which is a total selling point when you are purchasing an item. As long as I can think of at least 2-3 outfits that I know that I can make with the item, I can justify buying it.

Speaking of multiple functionality pieces, this sweater that you saw me wearing in my first styled look is the perfect length as it is long enough to wear with leggings and can easily be dressed up or down! My personal favorite way to style sweaters for the office is layered with a button down so that the collar and sleeve detail add in something unexpected. The star detail on this one adds in something special for the holidays that I couldn’t pass up!

While I wanted to share how to style a corduroy skirt, both of these looks could also be paired with corduroy pants as well. I have corduroy pants in grey, olive, burgundy and black. I’ve built quite the collection but I just find them so much more comfortable than slacks! If you are looking to add some corduroy into your work wear, here are a few other options that I am loving!

Thanksgiving Day Outfit

November 24, 2017

Thanksgiving outfit and Black Friday sales

Sweater: Shein ($28) | Pants: Nordstrom ($39) | Boots: Similar | Purse: Goodnight Macaron ($31)

I think all of those PSL’s (pumpkin spice latte’s) have officially gone to my head considering I am now dressing like a human pumpkin without even realizing it! Nonetheless, I have always been a fan off too much color and Fall colors are always so pretty paired together.

We spent the day with my dad’s side of the family in Dallas, TX. It was the first year that all 3 sisters were not kicked out of bed and loaded up at 6 in the morning to “beat the traffic”. Since Lindsey (my middle sis) moved to Chicago and Kacey (the youngest) moved to Austin, our holiday plans have changed quite a bit. While I am so happy that we are all going out into the world and becoming strong, independent women, it is so weird not living out every year traditions. I’m not complaining about the extra leg room in the car, but change is always something I’ve never been the best at!

I want to point out that it wouldn’t be a normal Thanksgiving Day road trip in the Adams’ household if papa Adams didn’t refuse to stop the car for any sort of food, drink or potty break. Thankfully we convinced him to stop at McDonalds to kick off our calorie filled day. The rest of the day was filled with LOTS of food, vegging out on the couch, visiting our family’s new house and playing Spinner.

Days like today remind me how thankful I am for a family that can give each other crap but can also make you belly laugh for hours on end. I am thankful for family reunions that make you appreciate your time apart that much more. I am thankful for little things such as wine, board games, and sweet potatoes.

I also want to take a moment to say how thankful I am for all of YOU! Without your constant support, I would not be able to do what I do. I am so thankful that the more this blog grows, the more you all grow with me. I am so thankful that we can connect over a shared interest of fashion, wine and having a good time! Every like, comment and sweet message from you is what keeps me going and for that I am eternally grateful!

I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving and if you are looking to beat the crowds at the shopping malls for Black Friday, please do not forget that I have an entire Black Friday Sale List to make all of your shopping needs easier 🙂

Holiday Dresses under $100

Holiday Dresses under $100

Dress: Saltflat | Heels: Target | Clutch: Gigi NY | Lipstick: MAC “Diva”

Going to keep this short and sweet because it’s Friday and we all just want to get straight to the point, am I right?! I’ve been searching the internet all week to find the best sales on dresses that could be worn to a holiday event or wedding whether it’s dressy or casual! See below for my top picks under $100 or under $50! My dress (just $72) from Saltflat is an identical dupe of the Self Portrait dress for over $500! While a girl can dream, she can also be saving her pretty pennies on something more affordable (like MORE Chick-fil-a!), especially when the dupe is that good.

Several of my favorite dress retailers are already having great pre-Black Friday sales. I’m talking almost giving stuff away! ASOS and H&M are two of my go-to affordable dress shops and both are having up to 60% off right now. If you want a “splurge-worthy” dress but on major sale right now, Nordstrom or Express is where it’s at. Nordstrom is having up to 40% off and Express is having 40% off + $25 off of $100!

Under $100

Under $50

And I know no outfit is complete without the perfect accessories so don’t worry I got you girl 🙂 If you already have a dress and want to make it new, a new pair of shoes, bag and jewelry is the way to go! Linking several affordable options for you ladies!

My Go-To Fall Uniform

November 13, 2017

Easy fall uniform basics

Top: Similar | Jacket: Nordstrom | Jeans: Topshop | Booties: Similar | Purse: Karl Lagerfeld

You know those basics that you reach for out of habit? The ones that you might have already worn 2 or 3 times this week, but they are your tried and true favorites that you wear if you can’t seem to find anything else that’s cute AND comfortable? That’s me most days. Especially since getting dressed isn’t the easiest task right now, my ultimate goal is to always be comfortable and to be honest I don’t want to put a lot of thought into what I’m going to be wearing for the day because if I do, I’ll end up with a pile of clothes on the ground that didn’t make the cut. Want to know the chances that those clothes get hung back up? Zero.

It’s always great to stock your closet with easy basics that are also great to layer when the temperatures start to drop. Let’s break it down by tops, bottoms, coats/vests, and shoes. All of which I am going to list could technically be mixed and matched and are basics that I would go out on a limb to say that you NEED in your closet and won’t regret on those days that you have “nothing to wear”.
