Shirt: J.Crew // Jeans: J.Crew // Shoes: Kate Spade

While I love dressing up, I am also a major t-shirt and jeans girl and luckily I work in a creative environment that allows me to dress casual. This metallic stripe tee is currently on sale at J.Crew and is a great neutral top. I am wearing a size small, which fits a little loose and is long enough to tuck (or half tuck) in my jeans. I also found these great jeans at J.Crew, I bought the Toothpick cut in size 24 with a 30″ inseam. Since I have longer legs, the 30″ inseam allows me to cuff the end of the jeans a little and still hit right at my ankles. These Kate Spade shoes are also still on sale and available in tan but are running low in sizes, they already sold out in black. Shop more of my favorite metallic and stripe tees below. xoxo

Blazer: ASOS // Tank: J.Crew // Jeans: Gap // Shoes: Neiman Marcus // Bag: Neiman Marcus

One of the most useful pieces I keep in my closet is this basic white blazer. It is great for all season and can easily be dressed up or down. For a typical and chilly workday, I paired the blazer with a nude tank from J.Crew and light wash, high waisted jeans from Gap. I ordered a size 2 in the blazer because the sleeves run a little short and 25 long in the jeans so I could cuff the ends. These Charles David pumps from Neiman Marcus were also a great basic addition to my closet. I bought them in black and loved them so much I went back and got them in nude. They fit true to size (wearing size 8) and the platform makes them comfortable enough to wear all day. Shop my favorite white blazers below! xoxo

Last night Mel (My Everyday Lifestyle) and I had the best time at the annual Toni & Guy creative release and photographic awards. Every year Toni & Guy host their awards here in Dallas, where they honor the incredable work of their students and stylists. We enjoyed meeting stylists from all over the country and were in awe of the amazing photography they submitted for the awards. I still can’t get over the production of the show and the inspiring hair and makeup using Toni & Guy and TIGI products!

Thank you to the Toni & Guy marketing team for including us in such a special night. xoxo

Happy Fourth of July! I know I usually post Weekend Words of Wisdom on Saturdays, but I thought I would mix it up a little for the holiday. Every year my family spends the fourth of July at our lake house eating endless amount of barbecue and homemade ice cream. Luckily the temperatures are mild enough (at least for a July in Texas) to continue wearing my white jeans. Usually there is not much color in my closet, but I have been making an effort to buy colors other than black and white. This tank from J.Crew is on of my favorites, so naturally I bought it in every color, including black and white. Shop some of my favorite red, white and blue looks below and enjoy celebrating the fourth! xoxo

Dallas has had its fair share of spring showers recently, meaning much cooler temperatures than usual. This past weekend I was going to dinner with some friends and I think I tried on everything in my closet in attempt to dress for this cooler weather. I mentioned in my post last week, that I pretty much live in my white jeans, well not much has changed. I am still trying to get the most out of the short time I have to wear them and they have been great for cool nights. I paired my white jeans with a basic black knit halter and heels for a high contrast look.

For those who follow me on Instagram, you know that I have been obsessed with my turquoise Kendra Scott ring and bracelet. I added the ring and bracelet to my high contrast look for a small pop of color on my left hand. To keep things simple and avoid going over the top with the turquoise, I wore my favorite gold hoops and went without a necklace to show off the halter neckline. Hopefully the weather warms up soon so I can pull out my white shorts and move on from jeans! xoxo
