Happy Wednesday!

I hope everyone's week is going well!

I've been on the hunt for corduroy skinny jeans for a long time. While grabbing dinner with a girlfriend, we wandered into Anthropologie and came across these burgundy colored pants. Burgundy is the "it" color of the season. I'm 5'6'', not really tall, but for some reason it's challenging to find pants that are long enough. These pants are the perfect length and don't lose their shape. Anthropologie carries these pants in seven different colors and patterns. Let's just say, I want EVERY one!

When wearing colored or patterned pants, pair with the same clothes as you would any regular denim. These pants look great with a black blazer, black boots, and a leopard print scarf. Or with a chunky grey sweater. Don't be afraid to mix different textures, patterns, and prints when wearing colored pants.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break!

Today's post will be a little shorter. I think I'm still in a turkey and wine haze from the last couple of days...

A few weeks back, Nordstrom had their Half-Yearly Sale. I went a little crazy. 40% off of great brands. Ummm...yes, please! The minute I came across this sweater, I had to have it. A total statement piece. This sweater is a play on a classic draped sweater, but with a twist. 

This sweater can we worn every season. Layer over a white button up shirt when it gets colder. Over a red pencil skirt and heels. With white pants. Or over a dress. 

Thanks for reading!

Happy Monday! Did everyone have a good weekend?

I don't know about you, but lately I feel like a kid on the last day of school. Thanksgiving break is quickly approaching. I love Thanksgiving. What's better than turkey, gravy and LOTS of wine? I also LOVE cooking and baking. I don't get to cook enough. This year I'll be making a bourbon pecan pie and a pumpkin bread pudding. Since I rarely cook, I never repeat recipes. I'm always trying new ones. It's how I approach many things in life. I rarely eat at the same restaurant. If I do, I always order something new. Life's too short to not try new food, wine, adventures, and outfits.

I was never into silk. I used to think it looked too 1980s. That's until I scored this silk top from Zara. Now I have three different silk tops in my closet...

This shirt is another example of a great transitional piece. Goes well with a pencil skirt. Or a paired with colored skinny jeans and some boots. 

Do you wear silk?

Happy Thursday, everyone!

I always try and maximize my wardrobe, so I never store my seasonal clothes. I wear them year round and pair in a way that works for that season. In this outfit, I paired a summer floral tank top with a military jacket to bring this outfit into Fall. Layering is key in transitioning seasonal outfits. That's why I invest in jackets, sweaters and blazers. 

I'm obsessed with these cowboy boots. They're my single favorite clothing item, and very sentimental. They've seen many country concerts and lots of adventures. For me, they encompass City Girl Meets Country. I wear my cowboy boots year round. I've actually tried to implement "Cowboy Boot Fridays" in my office. Let's just say, most people aren't as big of a country fan as I am. 

Thanks for stopping by!
