Thanksgiving Look

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoyed the holiday with lots of family. I spent mine celebrating at my sister's new home and ate way too much all while watching some really good football. It was nice to be around all of my aunts, uncles, and cousins and spend the day just having a good time with each other...I need more days like those.  

These were all so good, I took breaks in between just so I could have a bit of each one...delicious.

Day to Night: Plaid Button Up

As it starts to get cooler I always find myself wanting to wear plaid. Although I hardly ever have...for some reason I just want to. I guess it's a sign I need to add it to my closet. Here's how I would style it for a day to night look.

Day
This outfit seems like the kind of outfit I would want to wear for running errands all day and then stopping by Starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte...yum.
1. A cute pair of shades.
2. A scarf that's cozy enough to keep you warm when it gets a bit too
chilly, a mustard color one would be my pick.
3. I'm loving these boots and their chunky heel, I would pair them under jeans and
even with skinny jeans or leggings or...ok I'm getting carried away.
4. Jeans with a good flare...I'm usually all about dark jeans but I think a lighter
 pair has a better casual feel.

Night
I think this outfit has a nice contrast by keeping everything else all black. It really shows off a casual and polished mix for an interesting night look.
1. A purse that's fun for a night out...tassles? yes please!
2.  A black skirt with length. I would try a leather one, it's one of my favorite trends this season.
3. Basic black booties look good with everything and gives the look more of an edge.
4. Sparkly bobbies...perfect for dressing up your hair.

Which look would you wear? Day? Night? or Both?

Day to Night: Plaid Button Up

Life Lately

1. Scar on the rooftop top of the world...ok maybe my car.

2. Lunch with my mom and sisters...breakfast didn't work out but I'll take a panini and soup.

3. My secret pal at work left these on my desk...now that's the way to start a work day.

4. Staying warm in my Rise Against jacket...love this band so much. 

5. Took a few photos like this of my brother over the weekend.

6. Having margarita's for a change...we usually have beer.

7. Not your ordinary flower...Chris made this for me out of tootsie rolls.

8. Trying to get lucky but not really getting lucky at bingo.

9. I've been wearing red lipstick almost everyday lately...feeling a little like Gwen.

10. Organized my closet and realized I've got a rainbow in there.
