Sparkle and Roses

From the soft rosettes on this sweatshirt to the sparkle in my knotted necklace and adorned d'orsay flats, this look is both romantic, uber comfortable and perfect for a casual date night out. I've worn this LC Lauren Conrad for Kohls textured top at least a dozen times and keep finding excuses to keep it in heavy rotation. Have a great week, friends!

Sport Appropriate

Even though the fall sport season has come to an end in our house, I'm still dressing for busy weekends on the go. And this outfit is exactly what I've been sporting all soccer and t-ball season long. Comfortable and sporty with a pop of color. A win in my book!

Red and Blue

Wearing red and blue isn't just for summer holidays. Regardless of the season, this color combo is among my favorite. And if you have a lightweight denim jacket, wearing it as a shirt on its own can keep you warm in the cooler months without having to cover it up with a coat.

Yellow Velvet

My typical weekday bag consists of a large sack stocked full of wipes, diapers, snacks, race cars and crayons. So when date night comes around, I reach for the smallest handbag possible (it seriously feels like heaven not carrying around an extra 8 lbs). And this yellow velvet clutch from Banana Republic (which I've had for like forever) was a perfect choice for this otherwise neutral ensemble. Good things do come in small packages!

Window Shopping Saturday

Espadrille Wedges

I recently scored these lace up espadrille wedges via my neighborhood's online marketplace (the greatest consignment shop ever). At first, I dreamt of wearing these with a black swingy mini for date night, but then realized I don't own a black swingy mini skirt! So instead, I hunted my closet and tried them with these cropped red graphic print pants and loved the look. I wore this outfit for a girls night out a few weeks back and even got several compliments on the shoes. A total win for a resale find!

Oktoberfest Boho

We were invited to an Oktoberfest party this past weekend at a friend's house complete with brats, sauerkraut, German chocolate cake and plenty of dark, heavy beer. While I didn't don a lederhosen costume, I did find this flowy, boho-inspired top from Page 6 Boutique fit the atmosphere and breezy weather perfectly. Auf wiedersehen!

Can't Buy Me Love

As a big fan of the 80s movie, Can't Buy Me Love, I was smitten when I spotted this white leather (faux leather that is) sweater at a local boutique called Page 6. If you remember the movie at all, the main character "borrows" her mother's white leather fringe outfit and gets red wine spilled all over it. And while I wasn't drinking or partying it up in this top, I was out and about with my kids and lord knows what can happen with them! Needless to say, I escaped the day without a speck of dirt and would wear this top every day if I could. Gotta run and search out the movie!
