I wore this dress to a formal a couple of weeks ago with statement earrings and black heels. Instead of buying another dress that I can only wear to formal functions, I decided to purchase something that is more versatile. I can wear this dress to church with booties, out to dinner, or more casually, shown here. Although these platform sandals are no longer available, I found a few replacements.

This outfit is a product of my time at tibi this summer. For the longest time, I couldn’t decide where to wear this and ended up wearing it to a fraternity formal this past weekend. I love that it’s different, that no one has it, and that it makes a statement. Typically when I shop, I look for pieces that are standout pieces, that can’t be found everywhere or on everyone. This combo did just that.

I love adding a vest to almost every outfit. You can probably tell from my posts that vests occur in about every other one. I feel like a vest can pull together any outfit or dress down a dress. I styled it with a simple tee and distressed denim to make the outfit a little more special. Try adding a vest or two to your wardrobe, and you just might agree.

2016 was a great year filled with great outfits, so I decided to share a few of my favorites.
one: This outfit made the list for many reasons. First of all, this pair of Zara denim has become a favorite of mine. I can’t help but wear them all the time because they are just so comfortable. The Dolce Vita sandals have also been a staple of my spring and summer wardrobe for the last 3 years.
two: Let me tell you… If I could fill my wardrobe with dozens of Self Portrait dresses, I would, but unfortunately, I don’t have the budget for that. Each dress is incredibly unique and incorporates a variety of textures. I’m obsessed.
three: After a summer filled with all things Tibi, I couldn’t help but love the line. I also love the matching set trend and the opportunity to create new looks.
four: I love the overalls just as much as the day I shared them with you. This post also includes one of my favorite blouses and my go-to velvet sandals.
five: Well, y’all have heard me rant about my Old Navy vest enough that you probably think I wear it everyday. It seems I do, just about. It just goes with everything and can make a plain outfit a little less simple.
I can’t wait to see what 2017 holds!
My cousin, Anna, and I teamed up for our first giveaway this week! Alyssa Herzog won a $50 Zara gift card and a Beads by Anna leather wrap chocker. Congrats!
I am wearing my favorite button down with a suede leather skirt and platform oxfords. I consider the snakeskin oxfords a neutral, and I pair them with most anything. The skirt was a great find at the new Zara in NorthPark Center, and it will work well with any sweater or blouse I have. I have a feeling it will become a staple of my winter wardrobe!

I’m so into this sneaker trend! Prada and Stella McCartney are killing it, but there are also less expensive options. These shoes will take you through all four seasons, so they are worth the investment. Today, I wore these sneaks with ripped jeans and a sweater, but they would also look great with a sweater dress or a leather skirt. If you aren’t following this trend, you should be.

Who knew overalls would come back in style? My mom isn’t so sure that they have, but I like them anyway, oops. I’ve worn them a few different ways: with a t-shirt and sneakers, a button down silk blouse and heeled sandals (shown here), and in the winter I hope to wear a warm sweater and booties. The overalls are versatile – I can wear them every season, no matter the temperature, AND they make you feel like a child again! They will keep me warm in the winter as jeans do but can be worn on a summer night, too. Sorry mom :))

I have gotten a lot of wear out of this Zara (imagine that) blouse since I bought it mid July. It was light enough for hot days in New York but works as a transitional piece into fall. Of course, fall comes a little later around here since it is currently 85 degrees and not a tree has changed. I wore this with shorts and wedges this summer, white jeans, and now dark distressed denim and velvet sandals. It’s now off to the dry cleaners after a few wears and minor spillage. Come back to me soon!

I was hesitant to purchase this dress in New York this summer because I wasn’t sure if it looked poorly made or if I would even wear it. It’s not a dress that I can wear to class, and sadly, it’s not blue or red for SMU’s boulevard season. To my surprise and delight, I have worn it many times sense being back at school, and I’m happy with the quality! The cut is extremely flattering on all body types, too. I love all of the feminine details: pom-poms, crochet cutouts and a low back.

Unfortunately, I purchased this outfit this summer in New York, and it’s no longer available. I’ve attached other matching sets that do the trick!
I wore this last weekend to SMU’s boulevard against TCU. The Mustangs lost, but this outfit kept me fairly cool during a hot afternoon game. Enjoy your last few moments of warm weather!
