Quarter Zip Sweater

 WOW!

It's been a while.

Between Elle starting daycare, me going back to work, a bit of a sleep regression and so much more I have just been so busy.

I've had a million content ideas and just no time to get them done. 

This past weekend I told myself I would really start trying to be better about getting blog posts, reels, etc. done.

Let's talk about today's outfit.

I bought this sweater at the end of last year and never really got the chance to wear it. Since it's a sweater I originally bought it to wear with jeans. However, I saw someone style a similar piece with bike shorts the other day and thought it was so cute I needed to recreate it! 

I feel like it makes you look somewhat put together, but is still super comfy and easy to throw on. 

Easy, comfy and put together is exactly what I look for these days when planning outfits so expect to see this on repeat over the next couple months. 

I've also been obsessed with wearing my hair in these clips lately. I feel like I'm always holding Elle and she is grabbing EVERYTHING, so this keeps my hair out of my face and out of her hands!

A Very Florida Christmas

Can anyone else believe that Christmas is exactly one week from tomorrow? It feels like Thanksgiving was literally yesterday and November 1st was the day before that. 

The holiday's always fly by but this year they went way too fast. I'm not ready for it to be over. 

Since Christmas is in a week I thought I would share some outfit inspo. 

This is perfect for Christmas here in Florida because it could be 50 or it could be 75. You really never know. 

I wore this to my bosses Christmas party last Friday and I'm obsessed.

This sweater is so cute and while it is soft and cozy the short sleeves make it not as heavy as your normal sweater. I paired it with my Spanx leather leggings and booties to dress things up a bit. The Spanx will keep you nice and sucked in after one too many Christmas cookies. Add a red lip and some fun jewels and you are good to go.

I like that this look is dressed up, but not too over the top. I honestly might wear it again for one of the 3 holiday parties we have this weekend.

Are you done with Christmas shopping yet? My under $25 Gift Guide should go live later today and tomorrow my under $50 should be live. I'll also have a wedding Wednesday up tomorrow. It's been so long since I've done one. It will be the last one before our wedding and I hope to hit it hard in 2020 and share SOOOO many things! 

I'll also be sharing another Christmas look on Thursday and rounding up all the best Amazon holiday outfits. That will give you plenty of time to order one via Prime and get it in time for next Wednesday.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope this week goes quick and that you finish all your shopping and wrapping. 

Stepping Outside your Comfort Zone

Oh man! I am so happy it is almost the weekend! This has been the longest, craziest, busiest week EVER! At least I have today and tomorrow, and then I’m on vacation for the next 8 days!! (I’ll share with y’all where I’m heading tomorrow on the blog.)

Today I wanted to share this sweater with you for two reasons. One it’s on sale! I love when I buy things, and then they go on sale by the time I share them with y’all. Bonus if the full size run is still available. Unfortunately  there are only a few sizes left online for this guy.  Sorry about that. 

The second reason is I want to talk about stepping out of your style comfort zone. Now I’m sure you’re thinking “girlfriend, this is jeans and a sweater how in the world is that out of your comfort zone?!” Well it’s not exactly the outfit but the colors. I have never been one to wear blue on blue. I know that may sound weird but for whatever reason it’s just not my thing. I almost always pair my blue tops with white denim. However since fall is coming, I know I will be wearing white denim less and less. And this sweater will be great when it cools down. Enter light wash denim. Now you’re probably thinking “Duh! Why haven’t you thought of this before?” My answer to that is I am also not a light wash denim person.  At least I wasn’t until this year. I had my eye on this pair of denim for a while and got lucky at Nordstrom Rack a few months ago. (I have quickly acquired two other pairs of lighter wash denim. Linked below) And finally the other day I had this crazy idea of putting together two things I am not so crazy about and guess what? I am now CRAZY about this outfit. This just goes to show you shouldn’t be afraid to try something new. It may not always work out, but sometimes it just might surprise you.

Transitional Sweater

Happy Friday Eve!

 Almost made it to the weekend and I have the perfect sweater for your weekend plans! I picked this up about 2 weeks ago and I am not kidding when I say I'm OBSSESSED! (I think I've worn it at least 5 times since.) It's perfect for so many reasons. The first is, it's really lightweight, add that to the fact that its neon pink, and it's great for this transitional time of year! Second, it can be dressed up or down, and I’ve worn it to the office but, also on date night. I LOVE when I find pieces that can be worn a multitude of ways for different settings. Lastly, it's on major sale giving you no excuse not to give this pretty sweater a new home.
