Casual Fun

I hate to brag about my shorts, especially since I know everyone has been getting snow storms lately, but the Florida weather has just been so beautiful! This outfit is perfect for a casual Sunday! I bought this eyelet top a few weeks ago and couldn’t wait to put a look together with it! I combined the top with a sweater vest, that I have had in my closet for years, and I have to admit I love the textures together! To make this look super casual I threw on my distressed high waisted Levi’s and my Charlotte Russe lace up boots. I paired my lace up boots with a high sock, which is a trend that I have been loving lately! <3

Edgy Glitter

I love combining two different styles to make something beautiful. Dressy and edgy has got to be my perfect combo, if you haven’t noticed yet. :) I snagged this AMAZING studded skirt from a local boutique, Tria (Sophie and Trey’s sister store). Since I knew I wanted to wear this skirt a little more casual I went a size up so it would fit a little looser and not be a “hello sexy mama” skirt. To dress it down, I paired it with a basic white tee and my go to H&M leather jacket. To make it even more fun (because I love fun) I wore my new to die for, chunky Windsor necklace that is only $13! Seriously, this necklace can make the most simple outfit look instantly fab! Of course I had to top off this outfit with my new favorite clutch from Aldo and my Target booties! <3

Black & White

The simple color palette of black and white has got to be my favorite! It is so classic and chic! I bought this amazing black and white blazer last year and never got to wear it! Again, going back to yesterday’s post about how you can go shopping in your own closet. I paired it with a beautiful silk, ruffle tank I bought this past summer from a local boutique and boyfriend jeans to rough it up a little. I gave this look a few gold accents with my Windsor tassel necklace and this gorgeous clutch (that I am currently obsessed with) that I just got on sale at Aldo! Throw on my classic Steve Madden pumps, and I have to say I am digging it! <3

Closet Recycle

Ok, so this look is the perfect example that you can always go shopping in your own closet. Every piece that I am wearing is over two years old! I found this gorgeous lime and coral cardigan buried in my closet and knew I had to give it a revamp! I paired it with a neutral short sleeved sweater and coated jeans to give this look more of a fall feel. These amazing brown booties, which I have maybe only worn once or twice (don’t ask me why?!) were also in the back of my closet. Getting creative with older pieces can really make you (and other people) think you have on a brand knew look! Not to mention, it will also save you some money! So get to digging in that closet of yours! You never know what you might find! <3
All pieces are old, but I have linked some similar items :)

Fur & Glam

Hope everyone had a fabulous holiday weekend! This outfit is a perfect combination of a few of my favorite things; fur, leather, and fabulous shoes. I bought this gorgeous fur vest and leather leggings last year at my favorite boutique, Sophie and Trey (they are having 30% off everything today for Cyber Monday! Use code CYBER30). I love the fur vest because of the longer length, so it also looks amazing with dresses. And these shoes! I seriously can not get enough of them! These Valentino inspired heels only cost me $30 from Windsor! They are so fabulous and they add a touch of glam to any outfit! <3

Cozy Casual

The temperature has finally started to drop in Florida and I got extremely excited to bust out my amazingly, cozy Windsor scarf, that I have been dying to wear since I bought it a few weeks ago! The color combination of black and brown makes this scarf the perfect accessory to any outfit, especially with this super cute hat I found at Charlotte Russe for a steal! I wanted this outfit to have a really casual feel, so I paired it with a basic white tee and my vegan leather jacket, I got for $25 during H&M’s holiday deals! Topping it off with my Target biker boots makes it the perfect look for a full day of shopping! <3

Leather & Plaid

Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope everyone is having a blessed day with family and friends! Today I am combining two of my favorite fall trends, leather and plaid. This outfit is perfect for a holiday dinner, but yet still comfortable for the food coma afterwards! I snatched up my amazing plaid top and leather pants from Forever 21 for under $50 combined! To give it a little bit of sparkle (because we all need a little sparkle) I accessorized this outfit with a gorgeous statement necklace from Target and my favorite Vince Camuto booties. Try not to eat too much (who am I kidding??) and rest up for a big day of shopping tomorrow! <3

Military & Leather

Let me tell you how much I am in love with this military green and leather jacket! The fit is absolutely amazing! I have been looking for the perfect military jacket for awhile now and they all look super frumpy, but this one is cinched at the waist, which makes it fit like a dream! It gets even better, it is also 40% off! Dang I love a good sale! :) I paired it with a graphic tee and distressed denim for a casual feel, but then threw on a dressy necklace and heel booties just to dress it up a bit. I love a look that has the perfect blend of dressy and casual. <3
