3 Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas

Hey everyone and happy Saturday! I know I normally post on Friday but the last few weeks have been really busy so I will probably end up posting on Saturday from time to time. You know how it goes ladies...life happens. LOL So, who's ready for Valentine's Day on Tuesday? Are you getting to spend time with your sweetie this year? I actually have to work Tuesday night and my sweetie has a seminar to go to so I won't get to see him :( BUT we are planning to celebrate either tonight or next Saturday instead so at least it's something. If you are planning on going out for the most romantic day of the year (whether it be this Tuesday or this weekend) what are you going to wear? This is always the most important decision for me because I always want to look my very best...and I have an excuse to buy a new outfit as well ;) LOL If you seriously have no idea what to wear then you're in luck...I have chosen 3 different outfits all with different styles so no matter what you plan to do for the big day I got you covered!


#1-Dressy Outfit
If you're sweetie is planning on taking you out somewhere really nice like a 5 star restaurant (you know the really fancy ones you have to make reservations for) then this is the type of outfit for you. You always want to look your very best at fancy places as some of them actually require it so, in my opinion, a nice dress is always the way to go. For my example I chose this gorgeous red lace dress and paired it with some pretty red pumps and the most adorable Kate Spade purse ever! Isn't that little red heart absolutely perfect for the occasion?! If you hate the very thought of wearing a dress (I have several friends who fit into this category) then a dressy pantsuit will be just fine. Just remember that jeans are NOT dressy and should never be worn to a really dressy event. If you love this outfit you can get it HERE


#2-Dressy Casual
If you're sweetie is planning on taking you out for a romantic dinner but not at a huge fancy restaurant then you'll of course want to skip the fancy dress as well and opt for something a little more casual. Jeans are super casual but throw on some heels and a nice top and you've turned a casual outfit into a dressy casual one. This type of outfit is always my go to for special occasions (as I rarely see 5 star restaurants LOL) because I LOVE wearing heels but don't always want to look too over dressed. For my example I chose a pretty red long sleeve uneven hem top and paired it with some skinny jeans, a pair of beautiful red zip up heeled booties, and a super cute red heart shaped purse. If you're not into heels or just can't wear them then throw on a cute pair of red lace up flats instead. You'll still have that dressy casual look but without the hurting feet ;) You can shop this look HERE.


#3-Casual Outfit
If you're sweetie has decided to take you out for something a little more fun like a movie or maybe a couple of rounds of mini golf the you'll definitely want something super casual and comfortable. Sneakers are always the way to go if you want to be comfy and of course a cute sweatshirt or sweater will keep you warm since it is still cold in most parts of the country (unless you live in Texas). For my example I chose an adorable red off the shoulder heart print sweatshirt and paired it with some black jeggings, the cutest pair of striped sneakers, and a super cute black heart shaped purse. If you're not into this style of shoe, a cute pair of Converse or Adidas would look just as cute and still be really comfy. If you would love to have any of the items pictured you can find them HERE.


So, have you decided on what type of outfit you'll be wearing this Valentine's Day? Which outfit style is your favorite? I'd love to hear from you so leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Be sure to spread the love by sharing this post with all your friends who may need some help deciding on what to wear on their upcoming V-Day date. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and happy shopping :)

Tan Dress And Colorful Scarf

Happy hump day everyone!! One of my favorite things about having a 3 day weekend is how fast the next week seems to fly by :) I only have two more nights of work then it's time for the weekend again. How awesome is that?! Hopefully these next two nights fly by because I have so much to do this weekend and I'm ready to get to it. In case you haven't already noticed by now, Wednesdays have officially become my outfit of the week post. I try not to overwhelm you with pictures of me in my outfits so I have set aside one post each week to share my super cute outfits with you...unless I happen to have an extra outfit that I'm just dying to share with you LOL. For this week's OOTW post I have the cutest dress/scarf combo that I absolutely love and I'm sure you will think it's pretty awesome too :) 


The Dress
I found this super cute dress while shopping at Buckle with my friend Myrna back in August for my birthday. Yes I said August but it was too hot to wear a long sleeve dress at that time so it got shoved to the back of my closet where I recently found it again LOL. I'm sure all my fashionistas can relate to that :) This dress was actually a birthday present from my friend who saw how cute it looked on me and wanted me to have it...isn't she sweet?! I love everything about this dress. It's stretchy but not too much and it's textured without adding too much bulk. Also, the color is great too! I like wearing neutral colored clothing especially when I find a colorful scarf and have no idea what I'm going to wear it with ;) At less than $30 this dress is a steal (especially at Buckle where everything is a bit pricey) and I'm really happy I found it. So, how did I end up styling this beauty and how can you change it up to match your style?


My Style
I knew I wanted to wear a scarf with this as soon as I got it so I went on the hunt for a beautiful colorful scarf to add some color to the dress. I found this one at Walmart on clearance for only $3 and it came with an extra scarf so I got two for the price of one which is why I love bargain shopping :) As for the shoes, at first I was undecided as to what shoes would look good with this dress/scarf combo then I remembered my beautiful fur heeled boots that I got from JustFab a few years back. They were perfect! I love how the scarf is the focal point of the outfit and gives the whole ensemble a pop of color! You could change it up and wear a pair of flat boots, ballet flats, pumps, or thigh high boots as well. Since this dress is a neutral tan color you can basically choose any color scarf you want or skip the scarf altogether and opt for an awesome pair of bold print shoes instead. No matter how you choose to style this dress just remember to own your style :)

Isn't this dress adorable? How about this super cute colorful scarf? Do you like how I styled this dress? How would you style it differently? I'd love to hear from you so leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Be sure to spread the love by sharing this post with all your friends who would love this dress as much as I do. I hope you enjoy the rest of your week and happy shopping :)

Must Have Monday

Hey everyone and happy Monday! I can't believe the weekend flew by as quick as it did...and I even had a 3 day weekend and it's gone :( It's all good though because I got a lot done for my business this weekend and I now only have 4 days to work this week before the weekend starts all over again. Woohoo!!! So, who has plans for the upcoming weekend already? I'm spending the first part of the weekend with my sweetie and his family then I plan to spend the rest of it lounging in front of the TV enjoying some much needed down time. For this week's Must Have Monday post I decided to talk about the essentials you need for a relaxing night at home :) 


Must Haves
1-Throw blanket (Wayfair, Sold Out)
2-House Slippers (Belk, $29)
3-Pajamas (Woolrich, $48)
4-Fuzzy Socks (New chic, $4.28)
5-Throw Pillow (Ava Wilde, $17)

As a fashionista there are certain must have items I need in order to have a cute, comfy, and stylish relaxing night at home. Of course you can really wear anything you want because no one will be there to see you, but I always like to match even when I'm home alone :) A super soft throw blanket is always a must for lounging in front of the TV. Even in the summer I get cold because the AC is always on so a throw blanket is always an essential part of my night :) House slippers are also important because you may need to walk into the garage or outside on the porch for whatever reason so you need to have a pair of these on hand :) Pajamas are probably the most important part of a relaxing night at home. I don't know about you, but as soon as I'm in my house the clothes come off and the pajamas go on. You could definitely say I live in pajamas year round :) Fuzzy socks are another important part of a relaxing night at home because your feet might get cold. Mine are always cold so even in the summer I always have a cute pair of fuzzy socks on to match my pajamas :) The last important piece of this must have puzzle is of course the throw pillow! There's nothing more relaxing then propping a pillow under your feet or behind your back as you watch TV :) You can shop all these super cute items HERE.


Is relaxing at home one of your favorite things to do? What is your number one must have item for lounging in front of the TV? I'd love to hear from you so leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Be sure to spread the love by sharing this post with all your friends who love to relax at home as much as I do. I hope you have an amazing week and happy shopping :)

What Are You Wearing Super Bowl Sunday?

Hey everyone and happy weekend! This post was meant to go out yesterday but it was a very busy day for me and there was simply no time, but here it is early Saturday morning and I'm sitting here with my coffee making sure this gets out before tomorrow :) So, who knows what tomorrow is?? SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!!! I actually took the night off so I could stay home with my sweetie and watch the game. I'm not usually a big football fan but there's just something about the super bowl that makes me have to watch it every year...maybe it's the commercials. LOL The most important question for all my fashionistas is "what are you going to wear tomorrow"? You know we always look for any excuse to get a new outfit, right ladies? ;) Well I have realized there are two types of women on game day...well technically 3 but the third is the one who hates football and doesn't care to dress the part so we will skip that one LOL...the first is the girl who loves football so much she has to wear a jersey and roots for the team right along with the guys and then there's the second type who just buys cute little team inspired accessories to show team spirit without going overboard. No matter which type you are or what team you're rooting for this year I have some ideas for what you could wear on game day...


Sports Fanatic
We all know these girls when we see them...hanging with the guys and screaming at the TV screen like a lunatic. LOL It's all good I love your enthusiasm and I know what you will be wearing on game day as well...a jersey!! No sports fanatic ever goes to a big game event without wearing her team's jersey so I have chosen two different outfits for both teams to give you an idea of how to simply style your jersey and still look super cute and casual. The first example is for the New England Patriots fan: I have chosen an official super bowl jersey and paired it with some skinny jeans and a pair of classic adidas. Just a cute simple outfit that makes you feel like one of the guys without actually looking like it. The second example is for the Atlanta Falcons fan: I also chose the official super bowl jersey and paired it with a darker pair of skinny jeans but this time I chose a cute pair of red converse instead. I love this outfit!! It's super comfy and casual so you can relax while watching the game with the guys :) You can shop the Patriots look HERE and the Falcons look HERE.



Subtle Supporter
This is definitely the category I fall into. I love having an excuse to buy cute new accessories but I'm not so into sports that I would wear a jersey. So, the solution is simple...wear team colors and choose one team accessory to wear with your outfit. If you're a Patriots fan then you want to wear something dark blue and maybe one of the super cute accessories I have chosen for my first example to go with it. There's a super cute charm bracelet, a purse by Doonie & Burke, a Patriots hat, a cute pair of earrings, and a watch. I would definitely choose the bracelet on this one. It's a great fashion accessory that shows off team spirit in a nice subtle way. If you're a Falcons fan then you should wear something red with one of the adorable accessories I have chosen in my second example. You can choose from these super cute earrings, this stretch bracelet, yet another awesome Doonie & Burke purse, this pretty watch, or this gorgeous scarf. I would sport the scarf for sure on this one only with a black top instead of red. You can shop the Patriots accessories HERE and the Falcons accessories HERE.




Which team's colors will you be wearing this year? Any predictions on who the winner will be? I'm going to go with the Patriots on this one...sorry Falcons fans but I really think the Patriots are going to take it this year. It may be a close one though. I'd love to hear your super bowl predictions so leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Be sure to spread the love and share this post with all your friends who would love some cute game day inspirations. I hope you have an amazing weekend and happy shopping :)

Green And White Striped Sweater

Happy hump day everyone! I'm so glad that it's Wednesday already because that means I only have two nights left of work before my 3 day weekend. I have so much to do this weekend and the super bowl is on Sunday too so I'm looking forward to that as well. Do any of my fashionistas have shopping plans this weekend? You know I do...I think I literally go shopping once or twice a week but I'm always finding great deals to share with you so it's totally worth it :) This week I have found the cutest sweater and matching scarf combo that I know you'll love as much as I do. Not only is it super comfy and a really pretty color, but it's also less than $10!!! So, where can you snag one of these cuties for yourself?


The Sweater
I found this sweater while on a recent shopping trip with my mom (yes she's normally my shopping partner) at Walmart and I immediately fell in love with the beautiful green color and the fact it has a matching scarf. I love wearing sweaters in the winter even if it is a tad bit warm here in Texas but I'm usually always cold anyway so I can get away with it. LOL Besides, this sweater has a thin knit which makes it a little on the cooler side anyway. I was so happy with this sweater and to get it at such a great price made me love it even more :) Unfortunately this color is no longer available online but I still posted a link to this sweater below because there are other colors you may like just as much if not better. So, how did I end up styling this beauty and how can you change it up to match your style?


My Style
I was wearing this sweater on a lunch date with one of my girlfriends and I wanted to be super comfy so I decided to go with a casual look. I paired this sweater with my awesome new Lauren Conrad jeans from Kohl's that I love and my extremely comfortable UGGs that my best friend got me from Journey's a few years back. Since it was one of those rare cold Texas days I actually needed a jacket as well so I found this light tan sherpa lined jacket in the back of my closet (I hardly ever need it) from Walmart that actually ended up matching my UGGs perfectly. That was totally not planned and I think it's so awesome when stuff like that happens :) If you want to be a bit more dressy you could wear a cute pair of riding boots or even heeled boots with this sweater instead. It would also go with a cute pair of ballet flats or even some Converse sneakers for an even more casual look. If you like this look you can follow the links below but no matter how you decide to style it I'm sure you'll look amazing :)



Shop This Look: Sweater / Jeans / UGGs


Isn't this sweater/scarf combo adorable? Did you like how I styled it? How would you style it differently? I'd love to hear from you so leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Be sure to spread the love by sharing this post with all your friends who would love this sweater as much as I do. I hope you enjoy the rest of your week and happy shopping :)
