Dress: ASTR // Shoes: Charles David // Clutch: Elements Dallas // Choker: Vanessa Mooney // Sunnies: Karen Walker 

Surprise, I found yet another black dress that I could not pass up! I saw this ASTR dress at Nordstrom, and knew the long sleeves would be perfect for fall and winter weather. The bell sleeves give a fun nod to the 70s, but are not so large that they become unflattering. The length of the dress is perfect to pair with any pair of heels, flats, over the knee boots, or even with tights. For a warmer option, I would style this dress with these black over the knee boots I found at ASOS. I am wearing a small and it fits true to size. The lace up front gives the dress personality without being too low cut or loose enough to gape open. I added a thick velvet choker from Vanessa Mooney to complete the lace up neckline. This ASTR bell sleeve dress also comes in a gorgeous olive color as well. Shop my entire look and some similar dresses below! xoxo

Happy October! Dallas finally had a small cool front last week that helped get me in the mood for fall. One of my favorite things to wear during fall is plaid. I found this black and white plaid button-down at Nordstrom, and it is already the perfect plaid top for the season. Since this flannel is a boyfriend cut, it is suppose to fit larger and be less tailored. I am wearing a size small, which is perfectly oversized, and great for layering. Even though this button down is 100% cotton, it is super thick and much warmer than expected. I paired the black and white plaid with my favorite distressed black jeans and went with black leather accessories. This plaid top would also look great untucked, with leather leggings, and boots in the winter. Shop the entire look below, and happy fall! xoxo

Top: Equipment // Skirt: J.Crew // Shoes: Charles David (similar) // Bag: Neiman Marcus (similar) // Sunnies: Karen Walker // Pearls: Tiffany and Co. 

A few months ago I shared this white lace skirt that I found on sale at J.Crew, and how I was able to easily pair it with my favorite Equipment blouse for summer. Since summer is over, and Labor day has passed, it is time to put away the white lace and find something better suited for fall. The sale section at J.Crew is one of my favorite places to shop, especially when they are running an additional discount. I came across this colorful skirt in the sale section at J.Crew, and knew it would be a great transition piece into fall. Normally I would not go for something this colorful, but since the skirts pattern is on top of a black background, I decided it was still suitable for fall and possibly winter. I also love the way the skirt fits perfectly at the waist, and has a zipper up the back (I am wearing a size 0). I also love the pockets that are hidden between the pleats, and the slight flare of the skirt. Since this skirt has almost an identical fit to the previous white lace skirt, I was able to pair it with the same Equipment blouse, pearls, and similar pumps. When the weather finally feels like fall in Dallas (or just gets below 80 degrees) this skirt would also pair well with a long sleeve silk blouse or a tight fitting turtle neck. Since the length of the skirt hits at about the knees, I recommend wearing pumps instead of flats to give length back to the legs. Shop the entire look below, and be sure to check out all of J.Crew’s sale items! xoxo

Dress: Topshop // Jacket: Nordstrom // Scarf: Zara // Shoes: Charles David // Earrings: BaubleBar // Clutch: Elements Dallas // Sunnies: Karen Walker

Last week I shared this versatile black slip dress, and how I like to style it for the day as well as for the evening. The third way I like to style this simple slip dress is for a night out. The length and lightweight material of this dress makes it easy to wear with almost any shoe including these black leather pumps. To tie in the pumps I added this faux leather moto jacket from Nordstrom (also comes in a beautiful olive green). I am wearing a size small in the jacket and the sleeves are a bit longer than I would like, but I could easily wear a sweater under the jacket. I dressed up this look with my favorite statement earrings from BaubleBar, a star patterned neck scarf, and a beaded clutch from Elements on Lovers Lane in Dallas. These earrings are an easy way to dress up any look and do not pull on my ears. They also come in mint, white, and yellow. I am loving the scarf trend right now, and found some cute (and affordable) options at Zara, such as this black and white star scarf. Shop everything from this look below! xoxo

Shirt: Zara // Jeans: Gap // Heels: Charles David

The other day while looking in my closet, I noticed I have added a significant amount of blue to my wardrobe compared to the overwhelming amount of black I own. I guess all the blue and white means I have officially transitioned into summer! I found this blue and white oversized oxford at Zara to add to my growing collection. The lightweight cotton material is perfect for going from the hot Dallas sun to the icy AC indoors. I am wearing a size extra small and it is still has the oversized look. This oversized oxford will be great for transitioning to fall with some added layers, because it has long sleeves. I paired it with my favorite distressed jeans from Gap and classic nude heels from Neiman Marcus. Shop more of my favorite blue and white oversized oxfords below! xoxo

Jumpsuit: Trouve // Shoes: Charles David // Sunglasses: Karen Walker

Last fall I purchased some Trouve leather leggings at Nordstrom, and since then they have been sending me emails about new arrivals for Trouve. I saw this navy jumpsuit in one of their emails and had to try it on. I liked the dark navy color, because it is sliming, but still great for summer and the belt at the waist helps give it shape. This jumpsuit fits a little big, I ordered an extra small and it is still a little large on me. The cropped ankle fits well with heels and the sleeveless top can easily be worn with a jacket in the evening. Shop more navy jumpsuits below!  xoxo
