A Classy or Casual Christmas Dress

Where has the time gone!? December is flying by and somehow there is now only five days until Christmas! I am looking forward to spending time with family in Wisconsin for Christmas this year. Hopefully there will still be lots of snow on the ground! With Christmas drawing near I have put together two dressier outfit options for Christmas festivities!

'Tis the season for gifts! I have been obsessed with wrapping gifts in brown paper and then adding different ribbon to make the gift unique! Adding some red ribbon has been a go-to for me this year!

Adding red lip color is perfect for any Christmas outfit! I've been loving the shade Razzle Dazzle Red by E.L.F. this season!

Can we just take a moment to talk about how this dress has POCKETS?! It honestly might be my favorite part of the dress. I don't know why, but a dress with pockets just makes me happy.

I love the shape of this dress! It is a flattering style and with a sparkly statement necklace and some simple black heels, it is a super easy yet classy look!

Blanket scarves are my favorite way to keep warm in the winter! Although they can be a bit bulky, if you're looking to add some warmth, a blanket scarf is the way to go! They're so adorable and this one in particular goes with nearly everything!

This outfit is still dressy, but is a bit more casual with the addition of a few accessories. This is the outfit/look that I'm planning to wear Christmas day! All I did to switch it up is add some black tights, switch out the heels for black booties, wrap a blanket scarf around my neck in place of the necklace, and add a white purse. It's an easy look to achieve, plus it's really comfortable and warm!

Merry Christmas! I hope you and all of your family have a very blessed Christmas!

One Skirt: Four Ways

Francesca's is a dangerous store for me to go in to. Over spring break I went into Francesca's to just try on a possible graduation dress and ended up with a dress, skirt, and top- oops! Needless to say, I'm kind of obsessed with this skirt- it's so pretty and feminine! I love the colors and how easy it is to style. In today's post I will be sharing four ways to style this skirt. I am just obsessed with this skirt! The floral detailing is so pretty and feminine. Honestly I felt like it was a little out of my traditional comfort zone, but I decided to go for it! This tank is one of the tops I walked out of Francesca's with. The pink matched the colors in the skirt too perfectly to pass up! I purchased this lace top from LOFT last spring and I have found SO many different ways to style it! It pairs so nicely with this skirt and you can wear it tucked in or out-whatever best fits your preference. I personally like to tu...

Trip to Texas Tulips

Spring is here and what better way to celebrate than to make a trip to a tulip farm! Tulip’s are one of my favorite flowers, so visiting the rows of tulip’s put me in my happy place! The day we went was a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, so lots of people had the same idea as us to head on out there. Even though it was crowed, the tulips still looked amazing and didn’t look picked over at all! I thought I would share with you all today some pictures from my trip to Texas Tulips, as well as some details about how I wore my overalls! I was literally in my happy place here! The tulip's were beautiful and the weather was absolutely perfect! This hat from Target is the cutest thing ever! It's super versitile and I wore it a lot while I was down in Texas! To make it even better, the ribbon makes a little bow on the side! These overalls are a favortie of mine this spring and I love that they have made a comeback! Growing up I used to wear them all the time! These black overalls are...

The Perfect Autumn Cape

Last year I hopped on the cape bandwagon, and I am so glad I did. Similar to blanket scarves, they are just like socially acceptable blankets. An added bonus is that they are super cute too! I saw a red and black buffalo checked cape in a picture last fall and searched all winter for a look-alike! Finally, a few weeks ago at Walmart, of all places, I spotted this one! I scored it for under $15 and was a happy girl! Here's how I styled it and how you can get the look! I started by layering the cape with a simple white shirt to brighten up the outfit. Between the warmth of the shirt underneath and the cape itself, this look was perfect for a gorgeous fall day. I paired the tops with my go-to American Eagle jeans, to keep the outfit simple and comfortable. Since I am so short, a lot of material can easily swallow me up and create a very boxy shape. With this in mind, I added a simple tan belt around my waist to give the cape some shape. I was feeling extr...
