Thanksgiving Outfit Inspiration

jacket (similar) // dress (on sale!) // purse (similar) // booties

While all the texts and emails coming in about turkey and who's making what, you can find me over here planning what I'll be wearing for Thanksgiving. The chances I'll get my outfit right are a lot higher than me trying to nail down those brussel sprouts again. So I'm just going to stick to what I know best (unless someone has a fool proof recipe for me). With family all local, that makes for a lot of food hoping and the chance for me to have my outfit really seen ;) Truthfully, everyone tends to dress down at all the lunches and dinners I'll be going to (I think it's three as of now), but I feel like holidays are meant for a special dress. This is one of my favorite dresses I've picked up and has the cutest sleeve detail! Pairing it with the jean jacket is my compromise so it's not over the top when everyone else is in jeans and a tee or sweater. So how does one eat at three Thanksgiving feasts? Well that's where the tights come in. They're a solid reminder that you cannot over do it because these tights are only going to keep pressing into your stomach. Does your family do a casual or dressier Thanksgiving?

Here's some more dresses that would be perfect for your Thanksgiving look:

Ruffle Gingham Dress

dress (ON SALE $35!) // sandals // purse // sunglasses

There's not much that puts a smile on my face on a Monday, but a good dress does. You may remember this dress from my fitting room try-on's. Truth be told, up until this dress, I would have said I'm not a gingham print girl. I love the print on other people, but just never felt very me when I would try a piece on. But leave it to my favorite store to finally convert me! And you guys, today's the last day for Madewell's Insider Sale-15% off everything! It's a win-win whether you go for all the new fall items or all the sale items marked down. You just need to sign up on their site and it's free. I scooped up this tee (I have it in two colors already) and this. But here are the pieces that I'm obsessed with:

And these are on sale that are steals, which I own:

Dark Floral Dress

Let's just say I've been waking up every day this week thinking it's one day ahead, so to say I was disappointed a lot this week would be an understatement. But you know what cures disappointment? A sale! Not just any sale, but one of the biggest sales at Madewell. I really should just give them my paycheck at this point. If you saw on Instagram, I was trying on the spring arrivals last weekend. They are just as good or even better in person. Anyway, the sale. It's up to 30% off with code 'NOTKIDDING' (gosh! I love their humor).  I'm breaking this down for you because there's so many great things.
Own and love:

These are already on sale (extra savings):

Little Denim Dress + Linkup

Happy Friday! So glad it's the weekend. Not sure if it's me, but the week after a long weekend always seems like it's twice as long. It's okay. I've got some dinner plans here that I'm looking forward to. Now, on to this dress that I wore for date night. I'm no stranger to a good denim dress (see here and here), but there was just something about this one that wouldn't let me stop thinking about it. Yes, I'm obsessive like that. So glad I pulled the trigger. It's simple, but sure gets compliments for days.

Now, it's time for our Flashback Friday look here. This trench is great even a year later. One of the reasons I love it is because it can work on it's own or as a lightweight jacket. Definitely love versatility these days!

Thank you for linking up with us! If this is your first time here, we hope you'll join the linkup. This week our favorite looks were ChiChi from The Style Tune and Kim from Champagnista!

12 Denim Dresses Under $100

The more we go into Summer, the simpler I want my outfits to be. I've already confessed my love for denim here. But a good denim dress goes a long way during Summer. Perfect for any vacations! It's easy and looks effortless even if you are melting in the heat. I can't help but keep adding more and more to my closet. There's so many styles to pick from and I love the different shapes. I've rounded up 12 of my favorite all under $100 and LOVE this one (under $45 guys)!

Black and Green Dresses

Top Row: Black trapeze dress (options here) // Black drop waist dress (options here) // Black and green dress (options here)

Bottom Row: Green caftan dress (here)  // Black bodycon dress (here) // Green trapeze dress (here)

Some days I just can't decide whether I'm all about color or well black. Lately, I've been drawn to black and green dresses (options here). Black is so chic and effortless, but green is bold and such a statement maker.So I'm thinking I need to get both because why should I have to choose? 

Have you been loving color or black lately?

P.s. Happy Fri-YAY!

Colorful Dress

This weekend was filled with some interesting weather and by interesting I mean clouds and these little wet particles from the sky. I hear they call it rain. But dressing for this was semi challenging. It's August so it's hot, but it's wet out off and on. We had to special event to go to and the dress code was vague, so I always reach for a dress in a modest length. Turns out I was a little overdressed, but I still think this dress was perfect. If you ask me, you can never go wrong with a colorful dress.

Happy Tuesday! Thanks for stopping by!

The Shirtdress

 Lately, I've been reaching for some basic pieces in my closet and finding new ways to wear them. This shirtdress hasn't seen enough days outside my closet and that has to change. While it's great on it's own, mixing in some fun prints is great to add some personality to it and if you can't tell already but I love any chance to layer. I know print mixing can be a little too bold for some or maybe certain 9-5's, but wearing them on separate halves of the body really tones it down. I know I'm technically mixing three prints with the tote (not that there's anything wrong with that), but you can blame that on the ban of plastic bags here in California and my spontaneous trips to Trader Joe's and needing to lug it gracefully. A girl's gotta fill up on flowers and chocolate for the week!

Hope you had a nice visit from the Easter bunny! xo
