Holiday Look | Black Friday Sales

Hope everyone enjoyed time with their family over Thanksgivings! 

This year, similar to last year, we decided to take a vacation for the holiday. Matt and I both travel back to the Midwest a lot throughout the year, so we decided to take advantage of the four days we have off work and travel during Thanksgiving. Last year we went to Medellin, Colombia. This year we're heading back to Colombia, but we're visiting Cartagena. You can follow along via snapchat or Instagram.

Suede Fringe Skirt

Today's fringe skirt is an example of adding trendy pieces to my closet without spending a lot of money on several pieces. A few months ago, I was lusting over these Steve Madden Fringe boots, but I never pulled the trigger. When I see one of my best friends wear the boots with black leggings and an oversized sweater, she looks adorable. I couldn't justify adding another pair of boots to my closet.

Instead, I found this faux suede fringe skirt from Lord & Taylor. The skirt is a similar length to my faux leather skirt, worn here, but also festive like my feather skirt, worn here. Both skirts can be worn with different style tops, especially for the holidays. For a more causal look, I paired the look with a camel turtleneck. If you'd like to dress up the skirt, wear it with a chiffon top or a crop top.

What to Wear to Work | Chambray Bow Top

With the colder months upon us, I'm transitioning my daily work outfits from a pencil skirt to trousers and long sleeve tops. This chambray bow top from LOFT is a great piece to add to your wardrobe for the colder months. It can be work tucked into trousers, or you can layer it with a v-neck cardigan or a lightweight sweater.  The trousers I'm wearing are from J.Crew and come with a matching blazer. This would be an easy outfit to wear to the office and still look feminine and professional. 

If you want a top that is more "corporate", I'd opt for a solid color top like this one in off white or this one in blush pink. Both are staples for any 9-5 woman and can be worn several different ways. What I love most about these tops is that they are different than your normal button down shirt. It's nice to wear a white button down to work, especially for the days you have meetings. However, when I wear button down shirts, mine have the tendency to gap in the chest area, so I need to wear an undergarment to minimize the gap. Sometimes I just don't feel like wearing spanx to the office. This top eliminates these types of problems!

If you like the chambray, but not the bow, check out this soft chambray button down. It's perfect to wear with your favorite cardigan to the office. 

These two little cuties crashed my photo session with Lydia. Batman is a big fan of being in front of the camera. He's always photo ready! We went to Washington Square park for him to play after the photo session. It was a fun weekend with my boys.
