I love a printed sneaker! Y’all have seen me wear my leopard platforms many of times, so I thought I’d share some of my favorites out right now. They can act as a neutral or a statement depending on how you style them. Do you see a pattern? I’m loving animal print and stars. Send me pictures of you in your statement sneakers!!

The saturated greens in these photos make me happy. Spring is here, and it’s time to be outside. #EarthDay.

I love that this outfit is so easy to put together, but adding the vest makes this look more than a casual t-shirt and jeans combo. If that makes any sense. The addition of a third piece can do wonders for any look, whether that means adding a wrap to a dress and heels or a double breasted blazer to your work blouse and pencil skirt.

My favorite third piece is a vest. I have denim, which you’ve all seen a thousand times, military inspired, red leather and a couple of others. Try layering a third piece, and see how much more put together you feel!

For more inspiration, here are some other vest looks: 1, 2, 3, 4. Notice how boring some of my outfits would be if the vest was gone!

Best of 2016

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!

White After Labor Day?

This is a blast from the past – I wore this Helmut Lang dress to SMU’s first tailgate. Although, I do fully support wearing white after labor day. Pair a cozy sweater with white denim, and you are good to go. Here are a couple of winter white pieces that I think will carry you right to spring. AND note my new favorite nail polish: OPI Taupe-Less Beach.

This weekend was filled with tradition and family, two of my favorite things. I spiced it up with a wide-leg jumpsuit that my grandfather couldn’t quite figure out. Despite his speculation, the cousins had a photo shoot after dinner which has made my favorite post yet. I might have to add another jumpsuit to my wardrobe, maybe just to give my grandfather a hard time.
