Hello Peeps!! How's everyone doing? It's Saturday and the weather in Austin couldn't be more perfect for football and breakfast tacos on the patio but before we get into that, I wanna talk abut the holidays.
What's everyone doing this year? Are you gathering with family at Thanksgiving as you have for years or are you doing a family Turkey Day Zoom call followed by peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?
Although this year will be a bit different that it has in the past, there will still be a few gatherings with friends and I always love this time of year because we get to wear sparkly, sequined, festive attire without regret or apologies and I am all about that!
Like this Sequined Blazer that can make any outfit feel special. A simple sequined blazer can be worn so many ways and this one is on sale right now for 50% OFF. For dressier occasions, keep things simple and let the blazer shine on it's own by pairing it with basic black. Here I've got on a pair of leggings and a simple black camisole.
These Vegan Leather Leggings are 50% Off right now as well and at $30.00 are a great bargain. You'll get so much wear out of these babies. As a matter of fact I'm going to do a whole blog on all the different ways you can wear these kind of leggings however; suffice to say these will get plenty of wear throughout the season so when they go on sale, snap 'em up ladies!
This camisole was a purchase earlier this summer and it's sold out but Express has another Satin Camisole that comes in several colors and is on sale for $26.40! Perfect for layering under cardigans and jackets.
These black booties are also sold out in black but HERE is a pair that will work just as well. They have a block heel so they are easier to walk in than the ones I'm wearing and with the Croc Embossed texture they look expensive, BUT, they are only $46.80 right now!
Now, if your "festive" attire consists of jeans and a sweater, here is a great combo for you. This Roll Neck Sweater is awesome! I love the sleeve detail on this sweater and at less than $20 bucks, it's a must have for the cooler weather. The pearl detail jazzes this up just a notch making it perfect for a Thanksgiving gathering. These camel knee high boots also give this outfit a little something extra. The Louis Vuitton Pochette Bag and matching belt are purchases from years ago.
The exact boots I am wearing are from last season but these ones from DSW are very similar and are $74.00.
Or this pair HERE, from Amazon, have a little more rugged look and are half that, priced at $37.88! Make sure you size up as these run a little small.
If the weather is a bit chilly, throw a matching cardigan over your shoulders giving you that monochromatic look.
This one from Express is a perfect layering piece and it's on sale for 40% OFF!
Now, as we roll closer to Christmas I am all about red. My patio tree this year will be decorated black, white, & red and this combo will be making a comeback after I've got it all up and looking festive because....matching!
But man, how cute are these Red Booties??? Seriously, it was love at first sight. They have a pretty high heel so if you're not comfortable in heels then these ones are not for you.
But this Block Heeled pair would be easy to walk in and they are available at DSW along with this pair of Combat Style Boots which is very on trend right now.
Here is another casually chic holiday look, or if you're a Texas Longhorn fan like I am, Game Day Attire!
Let's start with this Plaid Boyfriend Blazer. It's oversized, longer than a typical blazer, and is a great companion over this burnt orange outfit. It's also ON SALE right now for 50% Off!
These Corduroy Jeggings are from American Eagle and just reek of fall and I love the fit. They run true to size.
The camisole is from Abercrombie & Fitch and although it's still available, it's sold out in several sizes so below is another options to get that similar color.
The Booties are made by Guess and are available at Amazon or grab this pair from Chinese Laundry also at Amazon.
My hat is another Brixton Wool Hat and I typically pick these up at Nordstrom however, this one came from Amazon and it's a size small.
Since most of this blog is geared toward the casually chic gal in all of us, I'm going to be doing another one showcasing holiday sparkle and bling.
I wanted to make sure you got all the deets on these fabulous sale items so that you can get them for people on your holiday shopping list, unless of course you want them for yourself.
My Holiday Gift Guide will be up this week as well so keep your eyes peeled for that. I will list some of my favorite picks for gals, guys, gadget lovers, and those that love beauty products.
Ciao for now!
Cheers! XOXO
