Date Night Style + A Link-Up

Date night can look different for everyone - this is my romantic take on a date night look! I styled a romper from Pitaya (they have such great options!) and I love the simple grey with the leopard wedge! What's your idea of a perfect date night? I really like going to dinner, or walking around beautifully lit downtown areas. However, don't get me wrong - PJ's, popcorn, and a movie is also an amazing date night ;)

February Capsule Wardrobe | Week One Recap

I've been doing a capsule wardrobe challenge for the last week! I survived week one, and I must say, I'm having a blast. There was one day that I didn't even want to get dressed (ha!) but I ended up throwing something on for a quick trip to the store anyway. I can't believe there's only three more weeks left!

Overall, I find getting ready in the morning to be very relaxing, and I honestly feel like I'm wearing my favorite pieces anyway, so it doesn't feel like I'm limited in any way. My only critique is the shoes - there was one day where I wanted to wear my tan booties but opted for gray since that's what was in my capsule. I can definitely see myself doing this more often. I already feel the need to purge my closet, and, honestly, my entire house LOL!

DAY 1 OUTFIT: Shop Stevie top | jeans | booties

DAY 2 OUTFIT: tee | cardigan | leggings | shoes

DAY 3 OUTFIT: sweater | Shop Stevie pants | shoes

DAY 4 OUTFIT: similar top | jeans | booties | Gigi Pip hat c/o

DAY 5 OUTFIT: jeans | booties | hat

DAY 6 OUTFIT: tee | jeans | shoes

Read more about what a capsule wardrobe is here and watch my YouTube video on what I chose for my capsule here! It's never too late to start with us! There's still three more weeks left :)

Recipe for Looking "Put Together" + A Link-Up

You won't believe how easy this outfit was to put together. It looks complicated, but really the formula goes something like this. Start with black leggings - they are the blank canvas! Add a sweater. That is the deciding factor in your color palate. I went with burgundy, so when choosing a hat, the obvious choice was bordeaux. Lastly shoes and bag! The brown combo of these boots and my refurbished (almost real) Louis Vuitton bag are a classic, and can be paired with almost any color-combo. And voilà, you've got yourself a "put-together" look. See my outfit details below!

OUTFIT DETAILS: SIMILAR SWEATER | BOUTIQUE AMORE FAUX LEATHER LEGGINGS | BOOTIES | SIMILAR HAT | BAG (REFURBISHED)

10 Sweaters to Last You Through Winter + a Link-Up

This cold season has been great for me and my evolving mom style. I've learned that two things help make an outfit complete for me when it comes to cold weather. Comfy leggings (love these $14 ones from Boutique Amore) and an oversized sweater. You can pair these with ANYTHING. A pom-pom beanie and OTK boots, or some booties and a floppy hat like I did here. The possibilities are truly endless. Because it's likely going to be pretty cold for a few more months I've rounded up my favorite oversized sweaters to last you the rest of the winter months!

$99 Over The Knee Boots (Lowland Dupe) + A Link-Up

I've been wanting to share these Lowland boot dupes for quite a while now. I absolutely love the price tag on these, and I can vouch for the quality as well. My search for the perfect Lowland dupe was a long one. Stuart Weitzman Lowlands run around $800, if you're unfamiliar and I wasn't about to spend that amount of money on a pair of shoes...no way.

SHAFT HEIGHT IS KEY

I was thorough in my search because I've seen tons have claimed that they've found the perfect boot that is comparable to the Stuart Weitzman Lowland yet the shaft is way too short. These boots that I found are almost the EXACT same shaft height!. There is a .7 ish difference. This was important to me as I was trying to replicate the look of the Lowlands! Shaft heigh also affects how well the boots stay up on whatever part of your leg they reach, so it totally makes sense that that part is key.
