3 Ways to Wear Black Denim for the Holidays

December 14, 2021 No Comments

I love the holidays– there are all sorts of fun events to attend– performances, parties, visiting santa, seeing Christmas lights, getting together with friends, etc.

Some of these events require a fancy outfit, but most of them (at least for me!) don’t require anything too dressed up & I just want to look nice but not be decked out. When I’m looking to elevate an outfit, I usually turn to the color black. It’s classic & always comes through for me.

I put together these three outfits with black denim & I think they’re the perfect amount of “dressed up” but not fancy. I’m wearing skinny jeans but you could also do straight legs, flares, mom jeans, or whatever style fits what you like best!

Almost everything I am wearing in this post is older (my long duster cardigan, black sweater, and necklace are the only linkable items) so I will link similar options if you’d like to use these outfits as inspiration. Alternatively, if you shop your closet I’m sure you could put together some great outfit combos as well!

I love this outfit because it is elevated by wearing a velvet cami. Velvet is a GREAT fabric choice for winter & definitely makes anything feel a bit fancier. Of course, where I live you definitely need a sweater this time a year & I feel like the duster cardigan is a bit fancier than a shorter cardigan. (below, I linked a velvet cami that is more scoop necked & comes in multiple colors– the green & the burgundy are also gorgeous choices!)

A pop of red is always a good choice for the holidays! I chose to add it in with a sweater but you could also choose to do a pop of color with your shoes instead. Alternatively, you could do a green sweater if that’s more your color!

All black is always a favorite (and I have an all black for the holidays outfit guide post in the works!) & the addition of an off-shoulder sweater adds just a touch of appeal! The balloon sleeves on this sweater also make it dressier & more fun.

To dress up each of these outfits I wore my black velvet heels with an ankle strap. You could definitely switch them out for flats or booties too!

A Neutral Shirt Worn 3 Ways

November 28, 2021 No Comments

This taupe button front shirt has been one of my most worn tops this fall. It’s so easy to style, so comfy & I ordered a neutral color so it works perfectly with so much in my wardrobe. I did a reel styling it (you can see it here) earlier this fall. I plan to wear it SO MUCH as we head into winter as well. Maybe I’ll need to do another styling session styling it as it gets cooler out.

Here are the three ways I styled it:

This is obviously super casual (& since this, I have gotten some skin colored no-show socks, HA!) & comfy. I would even add a baseball cap and maybe a long coat to make this even cuter!

The hat & sock booties are fun additions to dress this top up. I paired them with my favorite levi wedgie skinny jeans (sold out in this wash, but so many other washes available!).

A midi floral skirt & mules are always so fun. I love this printed one with this top!

Which of these three ways do you think you’d wear? My favorite is with the jeans, sock booties, and hat!

3 Ways to Wear One Shirt Jacket

November 28, 2021 No Comments

Shirt jackets, or “shackets” as the kids are calling them these days are so trendy this year! It’s certainly a trend that will carry over from fall into winter & I’m here for it because it is casual, cute & comfy! I have picked up a few shirt jackets & wear them often, Usually as a second layer. This one has a perfect mix of whites, grays, & oranges. It fits with a lot in my wardrobe & is very versatile!
Here are three ways I’ve worn this one:

You can’t go wrong with an all black base & some interesting layers & shoes on top! I love to mix my browns & blacks.

This Amazon sweatshirt is quilted & great quality– I love it so much! It pairs perfectly with the oranges in the shirt jacket. Throw on some skinnes and some chelsea boots and perfect!

Either tied around the waist or worn casually the shirt jacket looks so cute as a layer with a brown sweater, straight leg jeans and sock booties!

Which of these three looks would you wear?!

Colors I’m Wearing in November

November 19, 2021 No Comments

I did a fun reel over on my Instagram with colors I’m wearing this month (check it out HERE) & thought it would be fun to also do a blog post with the still frames! I LOVE the rich colors of fall & actually wear most of them year round very often. I’ve never had my “colors” done, but if I did I’m fairly certain I would be an Autumn. I gravitate towards Autumn colors (when I’m not wearing neutrals!) & I feel like they look best on me.

Starting with the first color: DEEP RED
I actually really love this color for November & December. Perfect for a bit of Christmas without going full-on holly jolly red!

Next up: MUSTARD YELLOW
I feel like mustard yellow is on every basic girl’s list of favorite colors to wear–it’s just TOO good, especially in these fall months.
