Lace Bell Sleeves for The Holidays

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I can’t even believe it! I am so looking forward to spending time with family all weekend and sharing my absolute favorite holiday with Harper. Holidays are getting to be a lot more fun as she gets older, and I can’t even wait to experience Christmas with her this year! Last year she was only 7 months old, so I know that this year will be a completely different experience. Since I have a toddler running around now, I definitely always plan my outfits accordingly. I recently shared a casual holiday look for The Weekly Style Edit link up, and today Megan from The Fashionista Momma and I are back with more holiday inspiration for you!

Today I am sharing a holiday outfit that I am actually planning on wearing again on Christmas Eve. I recently picked up this gorgeous lace bell sleeve top from Pink Blush as it felt like the perfect Christmas blouse. I’m no stranger to Pink Blush and have shared quite a few looks with them over the years, including a floral print maxi wrap dress last spring. They always have the perfect pieces for any occasion! I’ll be back soon with another Pink Blush look, and will also be giving away $75 to their shop. In the meantime, come link up your favorite fashion posts with Megan and I for The Weekly Style Edit link up below!

The Weekly Style Edit Link Up: Black Dress

Happy Friday! Hopefully you’re having a good week so far, and are looking forward to Halloween. I have to be honest here, I am not a big fan of Halloween. I know most people go crazy for the holiday, but that’s definitely not the case in our household. I’m just thankful that I was able to marry someone who shares the same dislike for Halloween! Poor Harper will have to grow up with parents who don’t think it’s fun to wear a costume. Thankfully we have a few years left until she may actually even care.

Ok, ok, enough about Halloween! One thing I am super excited for is this week’s The Weekly Style Edit link up. Not only is it featuring one of my favorite colors since I was little (no joke, ask my mom haha!), but Megan and I also have a co-host! Today we are joined by the lovely Annie from The Real Housewife of Fresno. Be sure to head over to their blog’s to check out how they styled their black outfits, and link up with us below!

How To Style Plaid Two Ways – Part Two

TGIF! For some reason, this week seemed to drag on and on for me. The dog was sick and I had so much to do at work, so I’m especially happy that the weekend is almost here. You may have seen that earlier in the week I shared how I wore this plaid top with jeans and a moto jacket, and today I thought it would be fun to try to style it in a different way. Now that it’s finally cooling down a bit, I feel like it’s all about the faux leather leggings! I love the 90’s throwback feel of a plaid button down and leather, especially with a little pop of leopard.

The great thing about plaid is that it can totally be dressed up or down. This outfit could be dressed up even more by throwing a blazer on top and adding a bold burgundy lip to finish off the look. Do you have a favorite plaid outfit you’ve shared? Be sure to come link up with Megan from The Fashionista Momma at the end of the post and show us your outfits incorporating this perfect fall trend.

How to Dress For Fall (When It Still Feels Like Summer Out)

I don’t know about where you live, but here in New Mexico is seriously still feels like summer most days. I think yesterday it was around 80 degrees… definitely not what you would expect for the first week of October. Don’t get me wrong, I am not in a rush to say goodbye to summer, but it does make getting dressed in the morning a bit of a challenge at times. Here are the top 4 tips I live by when it comes to dressing for fall when it still feels like summer out:

1. Layer, layer, layer! – I recently posted this outfit, and have definitely worn it multiple times since. The top I am wearing is a tank top, which is perfect for the days when it is 80 degrees in the afternoon, but really chilly in the morning when leaving for work. Throwing a jean jacket over the top of pretty much anything (tops, sweaters, dresses, etc.) is ideal for fall!

2. Try a cold shoulder or off the shoulder top – I wore this cold shoulder blouse over the weekend when we visited Wagner’s Farm to pick up some fresh green chile, and it was loose and airy enough to keep me cool in the sun. I love the idea of a cold shoulder top layered with a blazer or utility vest as well.

3. Throw a cardigan on – Maybe it’s because I live somewhere that doesn’t actually experience fall until mid to late October (or later), but I am a huge fan of cardigans. My ideal outfit throughout the year is a good tee or tank with a cardigan and my favorite pair of jeans. Choose your desired thickness depending on what you are layering it with.

4. Opt for lightweight pieces – A great pair of distressed jeans and a flowy blouse are always good options to keep you cool when the temperatures are high, and are just right to keep you warm if needed. This also goes for shoes – a nice lightweight pair of ankle boots can be worn with a dress or jeans no matter what the forecast throws your way.

What are your tips for dressing for fall when it’s still warm out?

Zaful Floral Print Tunic & Faux Leather Leggings

zaful floral print tunic #floralprint #fauxleatherleggings #falloutfit

Can you believe that this is the last week of September? I feel like I’m always saying something similar at the end of every month, but it’s really been shocking to me how quickly this year has flown by. The past few days here have actually begun to feel like fall, with cooler temperatures and the leaves changing color. Although I’m not completely ready to say goodbye to the heat, I am excited to start wearing boots and long sleeves on a more regular basis!

I recently shared an outfit featuring this Zaful off the shoulder top, and I have to say I love this floral print tunic just as much. Both are a bit oversized, which is perfect for the fall because they can both be paired with leggings or skinny jeans. I’m also clearly on a floral print kick, especially those in darker hues like burgundy and navy.What is your favorite print to rock for fall?

50 Styles 50 States with Old Navy

50 styles 50 states old navy new mexico #oldnavy #50styles50states #newmexico

Thank you to Old Navy and Collectively for sponsoring this post.

cute old navy outfit southwest inspired #oldnavystyle #newmexicostyle #momstyle

Today I am so extremely excited to be sharing an outfit that I had originally shared on Instagram yesterday for People.com and Old Navy’s 50 Styles, 50 States campaign. Being a native New Mexican and an avid Old Navy lover (exhibit A, B, and C), it took me no time to find the perfect outfit that I felt represented my home state. New Mexico is all about bright colors and bold statements. If you are from here or have ever visited, you know the hotter the chile, the better! You are bound to find something turquoise in every local shop, and we typically have more sunny days than cloudy days.

I was fortunate to live in California for a few years, but always knew I would wind up back in Albuquerque eventually. Albuquerque definitely promotes a laid back style. It is perfect for me because I am a total jeans and a tee type of girl. I have so many pairs of Rockstar jeans! They are by far the most comfortable and flattering fit on me, and are perfect to chase after Harper in. They are also super affordable, which you know I love! When I spotted this tassel front swing blouse in this vibrant orange shade I was immediately drawn to it. It had New Mexico written all over it, especially when paired with this turquoise necklace.

How does your state influence your style?
