Lately, I have been trying to add more work appropriate clothing to my wardrobe. It's pretty easy to dress for my job, as we are able to wear jeans. (Some people even wear t-shirts which always shocks me haha!) I think it's important to have clothes you love as an option to wear to work. Just like having cute work out clothes can make you want to work out more, having a cute work wardrobe can make you more excited to get up and go to work! I recently picked up this shirt dress and knew it was a great addition to my wardrobe. The style of it makes it a go-to option for the office, but the color keeps it fun. It could easily work for a weekend casual look with slip on sneakers. I love that it is a shirt dress but without the buttons going all the way up the front. It's nice to have some different options. This dress is currently on sale, and for size reference I am wearing a small. (Also, I took this dress with me to the gym so it was in my gym bag for about an hour and half. It did get a little wrinkled, and unfortunately the gym has an ironing board but no iron ha. I don't think it wrinkles easily as I have already worn it twice and never had an issue while wearing it, but it must have been bunched up too much while I was working out! Just an FYI :))
I also picked up these loafers recently and let me just say I am obsessed!! I have been looking for a pair of loafers for awhile now. I wanted an option for a shoe to wear to work that had more support than a ballet flat but also wasn't a boot. Sometimes it's just too hot to throw booties or boots on, haha. These are perfect and I absolutely love the tassels on them! I sized down 1/2 a size in these and they fit great. They were a little tight to begin with, but I wore them around the house for about 30-40 minutes and they fit great. Just something to keep in mind if you are ordering them! P.S. They also come in navy and I think they are so pretty!

Do you all remember this dress from this summer? This chambray dress is the perfect transition piece between seasons. I love it layered with a sweater for a little extra warmth to make it fall appropriate. To give myself a little more shape, as this is a looser fitting sweater, I belted the sweater with a leopard belt. It is the perfect touch to this outfit! I love how the belt incorporates a pattern into an otherwise simple outfit. I really like tying my belts in a knot over dresses as a way to help give shape to looser fitting dresses. Check out this post for a recent example of this idea or this post for a big throwback!
Also, if you have had your eyes on a Mini M.A.C. Crossbody, this color is currently on sale! You can save $80! Shop it here.
Hope you all have a great week!

Happy Friday everyone! Anyone have big plans this weekend? I am going to the Keith Urban concert with my mom and sister. It's a tradition.. we've seen him at least 5 times together! I am so excited. My nephew is also getting baptized on Sunday, so it will be a very fun weekend.
I had a lot of positive comments about my post on Monday. Thank you all for your kind words about my blogging hiatus! As I was writing that post, I found out that the dress I was wearing was on sale for less than $50. It inspired me to write a whole post dedicated to showcasing cute fall dresses for less than $50. There are so many cute dresses for fall and you don't have to break the bank in order to add one (or many!) to your closet. Below are some of my favorites! I broke them out into different categories to make it easier to shop. Let me know if you like this style of post in the comments. It was really fun to put this post together, so I think it could be a fun thing to start doing each season if you all like it!

*If you are only reading this post because you are interested in the dress, you can find it here. It is on sale for less than $50 right now, so it is a great time to buy! I am wearing a small for size reference. I love the darker floral print for fall and you can't beat the price. Wear it now with booties, or add a suede jacket to make it work for even cooler weather!*
Hello again, blogging world! It's been awhile (over 6 weeks to be semi-exact) since my last blog post. I have never been gone that long at one time before. Thank you all for sticking with me through the past few weeks of silence. A special thank you to those of you who reached out through email during my absence to make sure nothing horrible had happened or just to say hi. The people I have met through blogging are truly incredible!
I could go through a huge list of reasons of why I have been gone, but I don't want to bore you with them all so I will do my best to keep this brief. I will say it all started with a lack of interest in Instagram. If you follow me there, you most likely noticed I pretty much abandoned my Instagram account way back in June. I have always been more interested in my actual blog than my Instagram. I like writing and I like that I own my blog. With the algorithm change, bloggers, influencers, and regular users now only see what Instagram wants to show you. I don't know about you, but I see the same 15 people over and over again. Even if I don't interact with their photos, they keep coming up. I can go through the number 1 account I want to see on Instagram and like every single one of their photos and they still don't appear in my feed. It's so annoying! So not only have I not been posting, I basically just stopped logging in all together. Instagram has even emailed me saying things like, "Don't forget about your account!" I am trying to get back into it now, but we shall see what happens there haha.
Despite my lack of interest in Instagram, I still loved blogging. However, life got very busy at the end of August/beginning of September. We had a lake vacation, a trip to Omaha to visit family, I was out of town for work for a full week, and Tyler was also out of town for work a separate week. All in all, the blog was placed on the back burner. Once it was there, I found it hard to take it off the back burner. At first it was really weird to not blog, but then it just became the new normal. Over the past few weeks, there were many times that I wanted to bring the blog back. For example, I'd want to log in and share a sale guide with all my picks from an awesome sale. However, I didn't think it was really fair to not post for 2 weeks, write 1 post about my top picks from the Loft sale, and then not post again for another 2 weeks. Or, Tyler and I would be driving around town and I'd find a great spot to take blog pictures, but we wouldn't have the camera so we'd keep driving. These kinds of things happened often enough that I decided to bring the blog back.
I am not really sure where the blog will go from here, but I am happy that it is back today! I love having this little piece of the internet as a creative hobby. Also, I love having some place where I can talk about fashion, makeup, or traveling with other people who have the same interests. Tyler is a great sport and will listen to me be excited about new shoes but he doesn't have the same appreciation as some of you haha. I am looking forward to connecting with you all again and thanks for your support while I was gone!

I have received some feedback lately that you all really like when I share multiple ways to wear one item. I am glad you all love that! I am all about getting the most out of my wardrobe so I am so happy you all enjoy that content. Back in June, I showed you all how I styled my chambray peplum top. In that post, I showed it with white denim. It is one of my favorite summer purchases so I wanted to feature it on the blog one more time. This time I made the top a little more fall appropriate by reaching for my black skinny jeans, peep toe heels, and a burgundy floppy hat. If you read Monday's post then you know that I think black jeans are a fall wardrobe essential! In that post, I also included booties. However, if I could add one other shoe that you need in your fall wardrobe it would be peep toe booties. These are the perfect transition shoe in between seasons! Their peep toe makes them feel a little more summery, but since they are booties they also feel like fall. You definitely need a pair! Mine are old, but these are really similar and on sale for less than $50.
