We are half way to the weekend! I’m so excited to share this look with you girls…especially if you have a trip coming up!  I feel like there are 2 kinds of travel. One being where you just roll out of bed throw on anything that is comfortable and pray you didn’t forget something.  The other way to travel is when you plan ahead, are really organized, and you look cute and put together. Which is great when you are headed somewhere straight from the airport. Scroll down to see!.

S H O E S

Shoes are the most important part of a travel outfit for me because, you don’t want your feet to hurt before you even get where you are going. Theres nothing worse than achy feet! I like to travel in sneakers but for a cute put together non athleisure outfit I always go with flats and I found a great pair. These flats are perfect for a day of travel when you want to look put together and be comfortable. I always get a little nervous when there is a heel because I hate when they rub. These flats help with that because of the elastic back. They are sleek and classic and would go leggings or jeans easy! If you have super sensitive heels I would still recommend using petals.

S C A R F

I love to travel with an oversized scarf because it doubles as a blanket when you are in the air or even a car. I found the perfect Reversible oversized scarf that is so soft and cozy. The color is so pretty and rich in person. It is a beautiful camel color on one side and a lighter creamy color on the reverse side. It would be also be cute as a wrap/shawl with denim jeans and a basic white tee too! I like the fringe detail on the ends too. Lastly, it also comes in a cute grey/pink combo.

T O T E B A G

To me the most important bag is the carry on bag. I always bring a larger tote that holds all of my electronics, laptop, snack and travel essentials. The best part is you can have a small handbag too that fits inside of this bag to get around the 1 personal item rule. This Vegan Leather tote bag is great because it is so spacious and the perfect size to hold everything including a small blanket or the oversized scarf and more. It has a cellphone drop pocket on the back allowing for easy access and a large front slit pocket that holds your travel documents perfectly. Inside is a zip pocket which is perfect for your cosmetics or keys!

W E E K E N D E R

I love this bag! I have it in a few colors in the smaller version and it is the best carry on or weekend bag. This cream and camel color combo is so pretty on this Vegan Leather bag. It has gold toned hardware and metal feet on the bottom to protect the vegan leather. It has both handles and a shoulder strap so you can carry it hands free. The inside is lined in the prettiest silky fabric in a polka dot leopard type print. The inside also has a zipper pocket. This bag is perfect for a quick overnight getaway!

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today. I hope this helped you with some of your upcoming travel needs! Have a great night and I will chat soon.

Cheers to Friday! I am so glad that the weekend is here. Now that the holidays are over I can barely keep the days straight.  I am trying to get organized and do some house cleaning and cleansing of items we just don’t use or need. How many of you are doing the same thing?  I feel like that goes hand in hand with taking down Christmas decor. Anyhow, I hope your new year is off to a great start either way! I am so excited to share a few budget friendly tops with you and especially a new pair of soft skinny jeans! 

J E A N S

Girls, these jeans are so good and the price point is amazing! They are part of the Sofia collection at Walmart and my favorite part is that they are so inclusive meaning, they offer size 0 – 22 so everyone can wear them! These Jeans come in a few different washes. They are a true mid rise skinny jean that slims through the ankle. These jeans feature a contour waistline which helps hug your curves so you don’t end up with that gap in the back. It has the basic zip fly and button closure with 5 pockets.  I love that these are soft and fit great and retain their shape in the wash. Just a clean classic denim  jean.

However, if these jeans aren’t your style there are dozens of others to choose from. This collection offers different lengths, hems and washes so you are sure to find a pair that is perfect for you. If you don’t have a store nearby the entire collection is available online in addition to over 250 stores nationwide.

C A R D I G A N

This cardigan is so cozy! It is made of the softest chenille fabric and comes in 4 colors. This is the perfect staple item. The bell sleeves are a cute touch and it hits just below the hip. This is perfect paired with a basic whit tee and a pair of denim jeans like I did here. 

S W E A T E R

This eyelash pullover sweater is so cozy with its fuzzy knit. I don’t typically wear patterns but I really love this bold black and white animal print. They do offer two other prints as well if this isn’t your style. Either one you choose would be easy to throw on with jeans or over a skirt. This sweater features a crew neck and long sleeves and the fabric is so soft and cozy.  This is a great year round sweater with a price that can’t be beat!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today! Have a safe and wonderful weekend!

Happy New Year friends and welcome to the first weekend of the new Decade! How crazy is it that we are in 2020!? I remember cartoons and tv shows when I was a little girl and they always portrayed 2020 as being so futuristic and far away. It makes me laugh a little now. Anyhow, now that all the holidays are over and it’s a new year we have a clean slate! What are you going to do with yours? Common goals are to be healthier, take better care of our skin, be more organized etc… I am here for all of them! I am so excited to create new content for you girls and I can’t wait to see what year 2020 holds for all of us! I’m adding some of your favorite looks below with details and where to get them!   

Scroll to the bottom to see details of all of the weekend sales that are happening…and there are some really great ones you will not want to miss.  

L A Y E R E D   C A R D I G A N

This look was from last year however I found some pieces that are near identical. This cardigan I found is probably even cozier than the one I am wearing! I love adding layers in the winter! This scarf is so cute and the neutral color allows it to go with so much. 

L A C E   M I D I   S K I R T

This lace midi skirt is so cute. I love the length and the lace layers. It is so pretty and feminine. You could pair this with several different tops including even a camisole and blazer for work. Easily dress this beauty up for a NYE party or get together.  Also I am wearing it in size XS. I paired it with this great Amazon sweater which is a one size fits all!

P U F F E R   J A C K E T

This puffer jacket is one of my favorites. It is really warm, super cozy and the best part it is pack-able so folded up it condenses down so small. It is hooded and earth friendly! The EcoPlume is actually made from recycled plastic bottles! I paired it with leggings, a Chloe Handbag and a super soft grey scarf! The best part is both the jacket and the scarf is on sale! 

W R A P   C A R D I G A N

This wrap is so pretty in person and can be paired with so many different looks. I wore it with leggings and a basic white tee and the cutest pair of booties. It would also pair great with a dress, denim jeans and heels or boots. Also, this is the perfect outfit to wear to the movies because it’s like a warm cozy blanket! This is a one size fits all wrap so there is no guess-work if giving it as a gift. 

B O O T I E S

This sweater has been so popular that you girls keep selling it out! It comes in several colors and is so comfy! Easily dress it up or down.  These booties were also a super popular item this year during the Nordstrom Sale. Great news, these booties are on sale right now! Also this YSL handbag has been a favorite staple this season. Great for travel or everyday use!

Girls, it’s the last weekend of 2019! I can’t believe it! New Years Eve is right around the corner and some of you may still need an outfit and some of you may still be deciding what to do. Either way I have some party looks for you and some cozy lounge wear if you decide to stay in. I hope you get to be with friends and loved ones either way! There are so many great sales going on and if you do overnight shipping you may have your items in time for NYE! Here are a few of my favorite looks from this week and a roundup of some pieces for a New Years Eve party look.

S E Q U I N   F R I N G E   T A N K 

This sequined fringe tank is really cute, comfortable and would be the perfect top for New Years Eve. It can easily be dressed up or down and I think could be worn throughout the year for any special occasion. It also happens to be on serious sale today! I paired this with black denim jeans, gold jewelry and simple heels.  I am wearing a size XS and it runs true to size. 

M E T A L L I C   P A N T S 

I love these metallic wide leg pants! They are super comfortable, high waisted with a hidden zip closure. They are fully lined so they aren’t scratchy and they have pockets! These pants can be paired with so many different tops. These are great for an office party too. They do run a little long. I am 5 ft 7 and wearing heels in this picture and for reference I am wearing a size 2 here. I recommend sizing up one.  I paired them with an amazon sweater which is one of my favorites. I have it in 3 colors. This top is a great staple item year round. It is a one size fits all.

L A C E   M I D I   S K I R T

This lace midi skirt is so cute. I love the length and the lace layers. It is so pretty and feminine. You could pair this with several different tops including even a camisole and blazer for work. Easily dress this beauty up for a NYE party or get together.  Also I am wearing it in size XS. I paired it with this great Amazon sweater which is a one size fits all!

S E Q U I N E D   S K I R T

This skirt is so pretty in person I really love it. It can be paired with so many different tops from a camisole and a blazer to a vintage tee or a sweater like I did here. Really easy to dress up or down which makes it a great option for going out on New Years Eve or any special occasion you have next year. It also comes in black! I am wearing it in the size XS and it does run true to size.

Hi friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your friends and loved ones! Can you believe there are only 5 days left in 2019!? I swear that every year just seems to go by faster that the last. One of the really wonderful things about social media is that we capture all of the wonderful memories we make with our friends and loved ones. I think it is so fun to go back through all the photos to be reminded of all we did that year.  Anyhow, now that Christmas is over I am betting a few of you have some gift cards to use.  So I’m excited to share that Sole Society is having a huge end of the year sale up to 70% off of so many great items.   

W R A P

This wrap is so pretty in person and can be paired with so many different looks. I wore it with leggings and a basic white tee and the cutest pair of booties. It would also pair great with a dress, denim jeans and heels or boots. Also, this is the perfect outfit to wear to the movies because it’s like a warm cozy blanket! This is a one size fits all wrap so there is no guess work if giving it as a gift. 

T O T E  B A G

This Zeda Tote bag is the perfect every day size made of vegan leather and over the shoulder handles. It comes in five really pretty colors and has a snap closure. It comes with a matching zipper pouch perfect for cosmetics.  Also, this bag would make a great travel tote because a lap top and all your travel essentials would easily fit in it. Another thing I really like about this tote is that it has small metal bumpers on the bottom to protect the bag when you set it down. This will definitely help the bag last a long time. 

B O O T I E S

These suede Simeona booties are so good! These booties come in this pretty walnut color, a black and also a leopard.  The pointed toe gives them a little more of a dressy feel.  They have a fixed strap and a stud accent to add a little more to the design. Really cute booties for this season and they do run a tiny small, so if you are in between sizes I would recommend sizing up 1/2 a size. You could pair them with leggings or jeans and even the right midi dress. 

I hope you all had a really wonderful Christmas with your loved ones! Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

Two days till Christmas! What are some of your family traditions for Christmas and Christmas Eve? We love to play games and have a movie night by the tree with the fireplace going. We also love to play games and just be together.  But it got me thinking that almost everyone has a go to movie they like to watch every year. So I thought I would share some of ours with you.

I know a lot of families like to wear matching pajamas on Christmas morning like our family so I wanted to show you the ones we chose that are still available. We picked up a few sets this year at Nordstrom, they have so many fun ones to choose from… see here. These red buffalo plaid thermal pajamas are so good and so soft. These are the perfect winter pajamas and will keep you so warm and comfortable. The kiddos love these! They come in several colors too!

G R E Y  P L A I D   P A J A M A S

These button up plaid pajamas are so cozy and warm. I love that they come in a family set! This set in women’s and Men’s are on sale for less than $40 for both pieces. And the kid’s size is also on sale for less than $27! They are a loose fit with a drawstring elastic waistband and a long sleeve button up collared shirt. For reference I am wearing the xs.

We only have a few days left until Christmas so I wanted to put together a last minute gift guide in case you need it. All of the items on here are from Amazon and are available with Prime 2 day shipping. Some are even overnight. Good Luck in the last minute present dash!

This tunic sweater is really good and so soft! It does come in 14 colors and would make a great present this year. This one is available for prime shipping and is under $35!  Also, these leggings are from Amazon and come in a 2 pack and I love them! They are a great closet staple and are really nice quality, especially for the price. Unfortunately they aren’t prime shipping so you may not get them in time for Christmas.

I found all three of these items available on Amazon although only the sweater has prime shipping available in time for Christmas. These Spanx Faux leather leggings are available for free shipping at Nordstrom and are one of my favorites! These UGGs are so warm and coy and can be found in several stores including Urban Outfitters. 

A M A Z O N   S W E A T E R

This loose knit sweater is so good! I also have it in cream. I love the bell sleeves they are so pretty. This sweater comes in 8 colors and is one size only. Because of its oversized design a feel like a lot of different sizes and body types could wear it. It may just fit a little different. Keep in mind it is somewhat of a crop style. The best part is that it is prime and says it will arrive before Christmas! This sweater is a steal for only $35 and would be a great present!

This sweater dress/turtleneck tunic is so soft! I love it. It does come in 11 other colors and would make a great present this year. This one is available for prime shipping and is under $35!  Also, these leggings are from Amazon and come in a 2 pack and I love them! They are a great closet staple and are really nice quality, especially for the price. Unfortunately they aren’t prime shipping so you may not get them in time for Christmas. 

F A U X   L E A T H E R   L E G G I N G S

Both this sweater dress and faux leather leggings are from Amazon and they are so good! I love the length of the sweater dress and the fact that it has pockets. I actually have one almost just like it from a label that is 5 times the price of this one and you can barely tell them apart. Also I recommend sizing up one in the leggings because they are a bit snug. Both of these items would be a great Christmas present!

Looking for something fun to wear out on New Year’s Eve this year!? There are so many great options out there this year!  I personally love mixing dressy and casual pieces.  I’ll be honest I’m not a huge sparkly-sequin kind of girl…EXCEPT for around the holidays.  And of course…as long as it is tastefully done.  The best pieces are ones that you can dress up or down even when the piece is on the dressier side. That way you can have more occasions to wear the pieces to while looking put together yet effortless.  I found some gorgeous holiday party pieces for you from Free people that I’m so excited to share today!

See below for a more NYE holiday looks!

S E Q U I N   J A C K E T

This sequin jacket is so good! I really love it because it is so versatile. I actually wore it here like a shirt and tucked it into my jeans then used a small safety pin to hold it closed at the top. Pairing this with black denim kept this look classy and casual. I also added in simple heels with clean lines to finish off the look. However, this is actually a jacket so it can be paired with leather leggings and a basic white tee and boots or over a simple black dress. This is an investment piece but a timeless design and will be used for years to come! 

S E Q U I N   D R E S S

How fun is this Emilia sequin dress with mesh trim. The all over sequin and off the shoulder design is so pretty and the loose fit makes it so comfortable and easy to wear all night. It comes in three colors. This Gunmetal color, a pretty gold champagne and a raspberry.  Please note that with all of the beautiful sequins on this dress it was a little bit heavier than expected.  This is the perfect dress for new years but would also be great for multiple occasions. 

M O R N I N G   A F T E R   

In case your feet are tired and you need to hang out in cozy clothes a little longer on New years day these slippers are just what the doctor ordered.  They are so plush and cozy and are the cutest leopard pattern. They also come in a pretty cream and a baby blue. Linking a cozy robe here for you girls too. 

Thanks for stopping by…I hope this helped give you some ideas!

Whatever your New Year’s Eve plans end up being have fun and be safe!

Happy Weekend! I hope you girls have some fun plans. Maybe you will be shopping since we only have a couple of weeks left before Christmas. It is crunch time for sure! The mail cutoff time is quickly approaching to have presents arrive in time for the big day. Lucky for us some great sales are still happening and some even include free shipping! I put them all together here for you. Also, I added in your favorite outfits of the week. This season so many beautiful sequin pieces, sweaters, and holiday heels that I am loving.

I love this wrap! It is beyond cozy. It is made by barefoot dreams which make the best blankets ever. This wrap is super warm and has slits for you arms to go through (I just did not use them in this photo. It also comes in a pretty Navy blue colorway as well. This would be a great gift for yourself or to give. I paired it with joggers and a basic tee for a cozy loungewear look.

 

A M A Z O N   S W E A T E R

This sweater is so good. I had really good luck on my last Amazon order of sweaters! This one is nice quality and especially for the price.  I love the knit with ribbed detail it adds so much to the texture. I paired it with faux leather leggings and these cute suede booties. 

S W E A T E R

This sweater is another great Amazon find!  It is tunic length so it can be easily paired with leggings for a cute comfy look. The price is amazing  and it comes in 12 colors! I paired it with faux leather leggings and booties for a casual but put together look. 

M E T A L L I C   J O G G E R S

These metallic joggers are so cute and comfortable too. They are a classic jogger silhouette which makes them comfy but the fabric certainly dresses them up. I paired them with a soft cozy white sweater, heels and statement earrings.

H O L I D A Y   M A N T L E

I love changing up my holiday mantle for the seasons.  I love this mirror because it goes with everything. This year I added glass trees that I have been collecting over the years, a eucalyptus garland and added in different textures and candles which I do light all the time! Also, this faux Mongolian fur stool is on major sale today!

Happy Friday!  Even though we are getting closer and closer to Christmas (& I still have sooooo much to do)…I’m so looking forward to this weekend.  We’re taking a mini staycation at one of our favorite hotels in SD to celebrate the holidays.  Then we’ll be heading up to Los Angeles to visit Jeff’s high school buddies, their wives and families.  The kids also have their annual Holiday Piano Recital.  I’ll be sharing our weekend along the way on stories if you’d like to follow along.  Today I’m so excited to be teaming up with Jockey to share some super cozy lounge pieces!  These would be great gifts for you, friends, parents, sisters.etc.  Also would be perfect to wear at home on Christmas morning!   See below for more details…..

S H E R P A   S L E E P S H I R T

I can’t even begin to tell you how great this sleepshirt is. It is so much better in person than it shows online. And the quality is amazing! You can always count on Jockey to have soft quality items but this one definitely exceeded my expectations. The soft fuzzy faux sherpa is just so cozy and warm it’s really nice to curl up on the couch in. I like that it is a little longer too. I am 5-7 and it hits me right above the knees and I am wearing a size small. you could wear leggings under this and treat it like a tunic  if you wanted to. Also, the best part…it has POCKETS! Why do we always get so excited about that!? 

L O U N G  E  W E A R

These pieces are separate but made for each other! This Hot Cocoa Bell Sleeve Top is made of a nice stretchy knit fabric that is so soft you will want to live in it.  It has really cute bell sleeves which I love and could be paired with any bottom like yoga pants or joggers. Like the ones made for them called Hot Cocoa Hot Cocoa Sweater Jogger. I love them because they have a nice relaxed fit are actually made out of a soft knitted sweater material.  These are perfect for hanging around the house in. Another thing I love is that both of these pieces come in so many size options so you can get the perfect fit. For reference I am wearing size small in both. 

S O C K S 

The name of these socks are called the cozy butter crew socks and the name is no exaggeration! These are seriously butter soft and the only sock you will want to wear around the house. I love them. They also come in red and would be the best stocking stuffer to give to your friends, mom, daughters etc. They are pretty thick but could be paired with boots if you have the room. Personally I just love wearing them around the house. So perfect on a cold night!

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe weekend with your friend and loved ones!

Hello friends, I hope you are having a great week and looking forward to the weekend! I wanted to put together a designer handbag post because I have been getting a lot of questions about them lately.  With Christmas approaching I also thought this post might help with gift giving ideas, splurges and what to put on your own Christmas list.  See below for all the details….

**CLICK ON ANY ITEM IN THE COLLAGE TO SHOP

It’s no surprise that great quality handbags are an investment. But the quality is so good, that if you treat them right they could last a lifetime or longer! One one of the reasons I love Tory Burch is you get that amazing soft leather and quality craftsmanship with a High end designer like Saint Laurent or Chanel but at a fraction of the price. They are still an investment but definitely more budget friendly. Take a look to see some designer and some more affordable options. 

T O R Y   B U R C H

These bags are all made of beautiful chevron-quilted leather and a pretty gold logo. They have a structured silhouette that’s perfect for carrying essentials. These handbags all feature internal pockets and a zipper pocket to hold your lip gloss, credit cards, gum, etc.   Tory Burch also has great sales…and I’m always keeping an eye out for you. Especially around the holidays.

These bags are stunning and very versatile! They are a classic design that goes with almost everything. These bags can easily be used for an everyday look and if treated well could one day be passed down to your littles. I love the Lou Matelasse Leather Camera Bag for an everyday bag because it is small and easy to throw on with anything. The Loulou medium quilted leather shoulder bag is great too if you like a medium size tote and I definitely like this on days I have more that I need to carry with me.

These bags are so iconic. I love the timeless logo on the Small Padlock GG Supreme Canvas & Leather Shoulder Bag. The canvas and the mixture of leather and gold chain and hardware are just such a pretty combination.  The larger GG Supreme tote bag is my all time favorite travel bag. It fits my laptop and all of my travel essentials. 

If you get the Supreme tote bag you must get the felt insert divider from Amazon….it is a GAME CHANGER!!

Oh Chloe…this is one of my favorite handbag designers. I have a few styles and love each one for a different reason. They vary in size and design but each one goes with practically every outfit. One of my favorite bags is the Small Nile Bracelet Leather Crossbody Bag. It is on the small side…and I recommend using it as a going out bag since it only holds minimal essentials.  The bracelet handle is such a pretty detail. I also have it in the smaller size in black and love them both. Another one of my current favorites is the Small Faye Leather Crossbody bag.  It is bigger than the Nile, which works better as an everyday bag. It holds phone, keys, lip gloss, mints, gum, credit cards etc.  I love that this bag goes with almost everything!  I’ve style this bag so many times over the past several years!  It also has a suede flap and magnetic closure.

I hope you found this blog post helpful. Let me know if you have any additional questions?  Have a wonderful rest of your week!

Hi friends and happy Wednesday! Do any of you have any fun holiday parties coming up? I have been sharing a lot of fun party looks but for those of you interested I wanted to share my Holiday makeup look too. Recently I found the most amazing foundation from Giorgio Armani and am obsessed. I picked up a few other products from the same line that were perfect for this look so I wanted to share. Sometimes finding the right shade when ordering online can be tricky. Thats why I love that I found all of this at Nordstrom because they offer free shipping and returns in case you need to change your shade!

Once you have a nice clean face I like to moisturize. I found this Prima Color Control Glow moisturizer which is gives my skin the prettiest finish! It had vitamin E and SPF in it which are major bonuses. It has these micro pigments which give a blurring effect to blemishes and wrinkles. The best part is that it is a tinted moisturizer which leaves a great base for the foundation.  Next I used the Power Fabric High Coverage Stretchable Concealer and I really love it because it has good coverage. I would say it’s on the heavier side though so I like to thin it out a little with my eye cream and then use a beauty blender to blend it all out. This product actually says it can be used alone as a foundation because of its great coverage and blend-ability. 

Next I tried the foundation Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation it comes in 27 shades so it is easier to find an exact match.  This foundation is so velvety smooth and is the perfect mix between a dewey and matte look. It is build able coverage and would be good on both normal to oily skin plus the first ingredient is water which I love!  I tend to have drier skin so I always add extra moisturizer into my foundations before I apply. Then if necessary I use a setting powder like this one.

For eyes I just went with a neutral slightly smokey eye. Giorgio Armani has  really beautiful cream shadow called Eyes to Kill. It is a really pretty cream to powder product that leaves a shimmer. This is definitely build-able and spreadable. Add in a little black eyeliner and smoke it out and top it off with your favorite mascara. 

L I P

I got this pretty liquid lip set called Lip Maestro Travel Trio. It is the perfect set that comes with a nude, a pink and a red. It is a very smooth gloss that is highly saturated with color and I find it to feel really moisturizing. I love that there is a shine to it and that it has such strong pigment. The red is the perfect bold lip (color 400). And, if you aren’t the type that wears a bold lip often this trio is the perfect size and will last you a long time. I didn’t use a lip liner but if that is something you find you like to use then this one would be great!

Happy Monday! I can’t believe it’s one week closer to Christmas! It has been so rainy here in San Diego which I actually like because it happens so rarely. Plus it is the closest we get to a cold winter Christmas and, I’ll take it! Today I am excited to share some holiday looks that are perfect for any upcoming parties, events, etc.  So, with the Christmas nearing so are the holiday parties. Whether it be a night out on the town, a gathering at a friend’s house or a work event you probably want to wear something fun and festive with a little bit of glam. I have just the thing for you right here! 

B L A C K   &   W H I T E   S W E A T E R

This sweater is so cute and made of a really soft fuzzy fabric. It features drop sleeves and hits right at the waist. It would be cute with dress pants, or wide leg pant like I wore here or even with denim jeans and over the knee boots.  Also, I like that it is mock neck which makes it really comfortable.

Girls this suit is so perfect for the holidays with it sparkles and is so pretty in person I love it! I think it would look so chic with a neutral cami and nude heels. It can obviously be worn as separates which I love. The wide leg sequins pants are a high-rise pant that are straight through the hip and thigh then, widen at the bottom and are fully lined. I think these would also pair so nicely a cream or black sweater or top. The Blazer is so fun! I like it with these pants but I also think it would be so cute paired with skinny jeans and heels. Also, I really like that the sequins on these pieces are the smaller sequins. It makes it a little more glam and makes the pieces look more expensive.

This sweater is the perfect wintry white cozy piece. The fuzzy material is so pretty and adds to much to the over all look and texture of this mock neck, long sleeve top. It also is a semi fitted sweater so it is really flattering and comfortable. The length is also cropped which makes it look really cute with high-waisted pants but would also look so cute too with a sequins holiday skirt or lace midi skirt. Obviously this top is super work appropriate and is easy to dress up with some fun statement earrings.  

Thanks for stopping by the blog today! I hope you have a great week!
