Date nights with my husband are my favorite part of the week. I love getting dressed up, deciding on a dinner spot, and having long conversations over wine. Lately we’ve been opting for a movie night at Alamo Drafthouse or Studio Movie Grill. Call us lazy, but we love being able to eat in front of the screen. They’ve just opened a new Alamo Drafthouse minutes from our house, so guess where you’ll find us most weekends.. there! Last weekend we had a movie…
Actually, comfy is always in for me. I love being comfortable as much as I love wearing heels and I don’t think I’m alone. I’ve noticed recently that it’s not weird to see a cute dress or skirt worn with sneakers. Or a work outfit with sneakers. The trick is in how you make the opposites, if you will, attract. Trust me, they don’t always attract. It takes the right amount of dressy at the top to match a worn out…
Stripes have been calling my name lately. I actually just realized my last few posts have been about something striped! I don’t know if it’s the comfort of knowing you can turn a simple outfit into an effortless piece of work just by adding a striped blazer or pants or just the fact that stripes are a classic. You can’t really go wrong. I have a few favorites currently in my closet and these pants are one for sure. They have…
Wooden Wrist Watch You may have noticed I’m not one to own a whole lot of watches, or accessories for that matter. I like to keep my outfits as simple as possible and if I do incorporate accessories, they are usually the center of attention. I have been wearing my Jord watch non stop and have been pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to pair with my outfits! I have the Cassia model, which I love because the face is a pretty…
It’s April 9 and 50 degrees here in Texas. I’ve already put all my winter clothes away so I’m left with the light jackets I keep in my coat closet all year. So naturally.. I started thinking about summer and all the glorious sunlight that comes with it. I’ve always wondered if I love the sun because I was born in August.. is that weird? Anyway, I’ve also started thinking about our future travel plans, which hopefully involve a cruise…
Have you noticed blazers popping up everywhere lately? It seems like they’re always in or at least not forgotten and I would say they’re definitely a staple piece and a must have in every wardrobe. I have a few blazers that I must admit are not designer brand, but have definitely survived all of my closet Spring cleanings. They are my ride or die when I need a cute cover up for work or something to keep me warm on those unpredictable weather…
Hello! So…lately I’ve been hearing all this “girl boss” talk. The “be your own boss”, “be the CEO your mom wanted you to marry” talk, or rather just captions on Insta. emiright? I can’t help but feel that even though this can be super encouraging to some women, it can also be discouraging to others. It might even form confusion. To some women these captions are totally relatable, because in fact, they ARE their own boss. It gets tricky when the…
Hello! The other day I found myself shopping at Poppy Apparel and fell in love with this shirt. It’s so simple and powerful. Lately, we’ve heard women speak out more than ever and I couldn’t be more proud. It’s so refreshing to see this change and although it’s not a giant step, it’s a step forward. So back to the tee, when I see “The Future is Female” I realize that it can potentially mean different things to different people. Personally,…
It’s Valentine’s day! So it’s pretty obvious that it’s not everyone’s favorite day. If you would have told my naïve 13-year old self this, I would have said, are you crazy? Who doesn’t love Valentine’s day?! Maybe the reason is a bad experience one year, or you just don’t see the point in celebrating love on ONE day, like why not celebrate it every day? While I agree on celebrating love every day and being sweet to your loved ones all year, Valentine’s…
Deciding what to wear for work used to make me anxious. Okay, it still does, but I’ve learned a few tricks to help me get through that morning routine in a breeze. Most of you know that I’m a high school teacher, but few of you know that I started teaching at the age of 21. I’m 25 now but I feel like my face has not changed and I still get the daily “Omg I thought you were a…
