Like Neon Lights

 Remember a week or two ago when I shared some neon joggers on Instagram? I said I really stepped out of my comfort zone on those. That whole Nordstrom order was outside of my comfort zone because this was another piece I got. (Also Free People)

I saw this sweater a while ago and was immediately drawn to it. (It might have been because of the color name... dinosaur. How cute is that?)

After thinking about it a while and it finally going on sale I decided to pull the trigger. I usually don't go for a lot of color, but every once in a while I think it's good to shake things up. This time I went really out there, but I'm so glad I did. It's such a fun color for Spring. 

I also knew as soon as it came in the mail I wanted to pair it with my new paperbag pants. I picked these up from Target recently because I loved the wash and they are super on trend for Spring. This sweater is a tad bulky for them but I think I made it work. 

I also paired it with heels to give me some height but I would totally wear this with my white Nike sneakers too! 

Sweater: Free People (I sized down to a small. It's very oversize.) | Pants: Target | Shoes: Steve Madden (I have the suede version that doesn't appear to be available anymore. If you want suede get these) | Sunnies: Quay Australia | Lips: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Prague

I would love to hear your thoughts on this color. Especially if you are typically a neutrals gal like me. (Don't worry if you really hate this color it does come in a bunch of other options.) 

Cozy Sweater

How was everyone's first day back to reality yesterday? Mine was ok. Pretty unproductive at work (just being honest) and then worked out and knocked out some wedding stuff. (Wedding update coming soon since Thursday is officially 1 month out!! What?!?)

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and shopped their little heart out this past weekend. There were definitely some amazing deals! 

Today I'm sharing what I would consider a staple winter outfit! 

I'm sure you have heard of the Spanx leggings. If you haven't I'm here to tell you that they are the absolute best. I bought them 2 years ago during the Nsale and they are one of the best things I've ever bought from that sale! They were on sale this past weekend, but I would pay full price for them any day. I'll see if I can find them on sale anywhere still.  Anyway, if you don't have a pair yet, do yourself a favor and get some! 

I paired them with this cozy sweater that I have been dying to wear since I bought it this summer. (Another Nsale purchase.) It's super cozy and kept me really warm even without a tank underneath. I also love that it's long but has slits on the side. I always need a longer sweater with leggings. It's still in stock in a few sizes and is 50% off!! I think that's even cheaper than what I paid. I also linked a few similar styles in case it's sold out in your size.

Sweater: Nordstrom (similar here & here also love this) | Leggings: Spanx | Boots: JustFab old (similar here & here) | Sunnies: Amazon | Lipgloss: Charlotte Tilbury Lip Lustre Lip Gloss in Pillow Talk

What did everyone buy this past weekend? I didn't get too much. I actually got some decent deals on Etsy for our wedding yesterday. 

If you didn't finish all your shopping what are you still looking for? I'm going to do a few more gift guides this week. I'm thinking Under $25, Under $50, The Dog Mom (or Dad) and Gifts for Her. 

Let me know if there's anything else you would like to see and thanks so much for stopping by! I really appreciate each and every reader! 

Thanksgiving Neutrals

Happy Tuesday friends!

I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week! I personally am so excited. I can't wait to eat all the yummy food and spend time with friends and family. 

If you are still trying to figure out what to wear for the big day I've got ya covered. 

This look is definitely super casual but super cozy. 

Our Thanksgiving usually consists of the turkey trot in the morning ,followed by hanging with friends at Pete's Bar, (It's a Jacksonville thing. You can read about it here.) then dinner time and finally some black Friday shopping. I love that this look can take me through all the activities our day has in store. (Minus the turkey trot of course. )
I picked up this sweater during the Nsale and I'm so excited I can finally wear it. My boots are also from the Nsale last year. I paired these with white jeans to keep the neutral pallet going. Thankfully I don't like cranberry sauce so I don't really have to worry about spills. (Other than red wine.)

I've linked a couple other sweater options I love that would go perfectly with white jeans and these boots. The best news is you can still get all of these items in plenty of time for Thanksgiving next week! One less thing to worry about while you are picking up all the things you need to cook! 

Sweater: Nordstrom (also love this, this & this) | Jeans: Old Navy | Boots: Sam Edelman | Sunnies: Target | Earrings: Francesca's | Lipgloss: Charlotte Tilbury Lip Lustre Lipgloss in Pillow Talk

If you dress up a little more for Thanksgiving make sure you check out the blog on Thursday. I'll be sharing another outfit that's a little more dressy.
