Day to Night

I am always on the hunt for closet staples that can pull an outfit together.  One of my favorite pieces to do that with is a blazer.  It is such an easy way to dress up jeans or tone down a dress simply by adding one thing...and can we say way cuter than a bulky jacket.

Since I knew I had work followed by the Happiest hour happy hour to celebrate my friends birthday, I wanted something that could easily transition from work to weekend!  Enter my standard night out uniform.  Favorite dark wash skinnies + cute top + Blazer = Uniform.  I am so excited to have found this blazer with the sequin trim in a clean white, it adds a little bit of interest without being all 100% NYE bash style outfit.  Sadly right as I walked in the door my little mud bucket known as Ava decided to jump on my pristine white jacket completely changing my go to outfit... Thank god for black cape blazers, I used it as my backup!

Unfortunately most of my outfit is either out of stock or no longer available!  But have no fear I have linked several similar styles as well as my exact shoes!  I am 100% obsessed with these flats.  They alone add some detail without getting too crazy.  You can find these pretties at Nordstrom for under $50 and you get free shipping!!  If you follow me on instagram then you have probably seen me post a shofie or two of these bad boys.  I live in them, not only are they adorable but they are comfortable, which comes in handy when I have to walk around in the warehouse all day at work!

I hope you have a fabulous Wednesday!  We are half way to the weekend and 3 days away from me getting the keys to my new condo!! YAY adult life!

It's all in the dress

Sometimes you wake up and realize that you do not want to put a lot of effort into getting ready, especially after sleeping in and awakening to a starving tummy... I hate getting ready on an empty stomach.  After dragging myself out of bed Ryan and I agreed we would stop at one of my favorite Italian restaurants Penne Pomodoro.  Since planning an outfit and getting ready would take longer than I wanted I opted for this simple Topshop dress with a pair of sandals.

Once I got ready we headed to eat, after stuffing ourselves on Pasta and bread I talked Ryan into stopping at a high end consignment shop across the way!  It was amazing, I have always dreamed of finding a store like this with racks of jimmy Choo's and Louboutin shoes!  Unfortunately it was all still out of my price range, but it was fun to look.  My only advice for shopping at a place like this is be weary..I fount the cutest pink Valentino dress that they were selling for 500.00 not bad considering the dress was almost 1000.00, but the next day I found the exact same dress (brand new with tags) at Neiman Marcus Last Call for 300.00!  I found a lot of items that people had purchased at discount stores and sold them to the consignment shop.  Now don't get me wrong they were mostly good prices considering the retail price of the item, but as a bargain shopper I have found a million times better of a deal at the actual store or discount stores.  I have especially found good deals at stores like Last Call and Off Fifth, they usually have an additional discount on top of the discounted price in stores.
If anyone is interested the consignment shop it was called Clothes Horse Anonymous, would be a great place for a girls shopping trip!  I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and have a great week!

Weekend Recap!

Happy Monday!

Well, this LOONNGG weekend was a full one!!  It's going to make for a slow week I think.  Thursday night Ryan and I headed out to see Fitz & the Tantrums at the House of Blues.  I spontaneously bought tickets a few weeks ago, and it was worth every penny.  They were so Amazing and even better live!  Since Ryan and I are used to going to bed at 10:00 on a work night we decided to take Friday off and sleep in a bit before our big drive to Houston to see Kristina and Dylan.

Friday we slept in until about 9:00, and were lazy till about 1:30 when we headed to Houston.  Once we got there we headed to Top Golf for some golfing and drinks.  Since we had planned on a shopping trip we decided to call it an early night.

Saturday we were up bright and early to hit TJ Maxx, The outlets, and Nordstrom Rack.  We both found some good buys that will be coming to the blog in a later post.  My prized possession is this animal head (not sure what animal it actually is, but whatever).  I have been waiting for something to motivate me to decorate my spare room, and that was just what I needed.

10.00 shorts!  and a creepy changing room selfie

Sunday we made the 3 hour drive back to Dallas..only it took us 6 hours because they shut down the freeway for some freak accident!  I have never been so happy to be home.  Sitting on I-45 at a dead stop for 3 hours will make the most sane person go crazy...and did I mention we were in po-dunk NO WHERE so we had ZERO cell service.  I am so thankful for the man who told us a short cut out of that mess!

I hope everyone has a fabulous week!

Love Always,
