My Style: Holiday

J.Crew Blouse, Sweater, and Necklace {Similar} || Paige Jeggings || Aldo Boots {Similar}

Christmas a bit more on the casual side of things this year. We celebrated earlier during the weekend to accommodate my brother and his fiancee's travels and weather, and then settled in Monday evening for a family dinner and game night {Sequence - the fiancé and I won the first game - but lost two in a row to my parents - it wasn't pretty}. And as for this color scheme...I will put out a disclaimer...I am neither a UNI Panther fan nor a Vikings fan. I just happen to like these two colors :). 

Hoping you had a fantastic holiday and wishing you all a very happy New Year!

My Style: Instagram

I'm typically racing out the door to get to work and only sometimes remember to snap a photo. And now, thanks to Daylight Savings Time, unless an outfit is snapped over the weekend, this is the only way to capture what I wore {if I didn't instagram it, I didn't wear it...or something like that, ha}. Things to note after collecting these photos: slight obsession with these ALDO boots {love these too} that replaced my trusty Target riding boots {RIP} and the trusted top knot, two things you just can't go wrong with. 

Here's to a three day work week, Thanksgiving, and too much turkey!

Shop the looks: 

Menswear: Suit + Tie Optional

Blazer // Button-up {similar} // Sunglasses {similar} // Tie // Belt // Oxfords // Denim

Boys, it's time to start dressing like men. Next time you want to dress up, let's add a few more pieces to create a more polished, pulled together look.  Let's start building off of your basic dark denim & classic button up.  From there, layer a light weight blazer & tie in the same color palette {or add some color if you are feeling a bit risky}. Don't forget to invest in a great pair of oxfords to complete the look!

Her Way // My Way: Denim Vest

Denim Vest // J.Crew Eyelet Dress // Steve Madden Bag // ALDO Tigner Wedges // Michael Kors Watch // Vintage Sunnies

The perfect summer uniform, wouldn't you agree?

White + Gingham

AG Jeans // J.Crew Gingham Shirt {Men's Version} // Ray-Bans Classic Clubmasters // ALDO Cross Body Bag // Sam Edelman Sandals

A little bit of class mixed with a bit of prep. The perfect summer combination.

Her Way // My Way: Wide Leg Pants

T by Alexander Wang // H&M Blazer {similar} // Lazy Lu Linen Pants // Aldo Pumps // Melinda Maria Feather Cuff Bracelet

If this doesn't scream 'perfect summer work wear', I do not know what would!  I would pair these linen trousers with a pop of orange to break up the neutrals but keep the accessories minimal with a simple gold bracelet.
