Christmas Crash

The Christmas rush is over and I literally haven't taken my pajamas off in the past 2 days. It's the best part of the holidays! My family always spends Christmas day in our PJ's and we eat and play games all day...which just continues throughout Christmas break meaning that all I wear is pajamas for a ridiculous amount of time - but don't get me wrong, I LOVE it. These jammies from Evy's Tree are my new favorites. They are sooo soft and luxurious, literally never want to take them off. The most comfortable set I've ever owned!

The holidays are always so magical, but also really exhausting. So I love that my family keeps it chill most of the time. But with all the traveling and catch-up time, there's just no way to not get a little run down. Now that Christmas is over, I've just been reveling in my time off by hanging with the family and reading my favorite new series (Red Queen). Anyone else love pre-teen novel series? I have a weakness. Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Mortal Instruments - I don't think I've read a book intended for my own age in years. Hah! But I love them, what can I say?

I hope you all had the best Christmas and are enjoying time spent with loved ones!

Little Bit of Jackie O + Sandy D

So much goodness packed into this post. First of all - my favorite skinnies, aka the Denim Skinny, from Evys Tree is finally available for pre-order. These jeans are seriously the most comfortable ever. I have them in 3 colors now and wear them constantly. They're thick enough to look like a jean, but feel and fit like leggings. They're the best! And you can never go wrong with black, so I am so excited they finally added it to their collection!

Up next on the goodness train is the new jewelry line from SUGARFIX by BaubleBar at Target! Obsessed with these star pieces. They were the perfect accessories for this gorgeous pink cardigan from Chicwish. I'm a complete girly girl at heart and this cardigan had my name written allllll over it. I can't wait to wear it all fall and winter. It's the perfect layering piece. Cute with jeans, dresses, skirts - you name it. Loving this transition piece! Snag all these pieces below!

Going Retro

Going a little retro vintage tonight with this red, white and blue ensemble. This dress is legit the comfiest thing ever. It feels like sweatshirt material....but it's nicer than sweatshirt material if that makes sense? But of course it's from my faves over at Evy's Tree - so obviously it's got to be magic. You all know how much I love their pieces. Always high quality, cute and comfortable! And it has cute little button detailing on the sleeves along with a little ruffle on the back.

And I need to take a moment of silence for these shoes, because holy moly y'all - these feel like your walking on pillows made of clouds. Like, the most comfortable pair of shoes I own! If you don't have a pair of Naot's yet - you need one.

Real Life Fashion

Stripping it down on the blog a bit today. As much as I love fashion and getting all dolled up - that's not my every day life! For those of you who don't know, I just finished my masters degree in speech language pathology and will be working in the public schools! As a therapist, I spend a lot of my day on the floor hanging out with kids, so I need to be comfy and mobile in my clothes. That's why I love these jeans from Evy's Tree. They just released this new sangria color that I loveeee - I wear my denim pair all the time. They look like jeans, but they feel like leggings which is a huge win in my book! The waist band is elastic which is crazy comfy - but that means that I do usually pair them with oversized shirts that are a little longer!

So here I am folks, in all my everyday glory. Minimal makeup, glasses when I can't wear my contacts, hair in a messy braid, just hanging out on the ground. Hah! You can shop this comfy look below!

Classic Chambray

Everyone needs a chambray dress in their closet. It's one of those staples that never goes out of style. I've worn mine every year - sure accessories may change, but the dress itself never does! This one from J.Jill is incredibly soft (as is all of their items) and it has pockets - which, give me a dress that has pockets and I'm sold. It's still a little chilly here in Arkansas, so I topped it off with my striped zip-up from my friends over at Evys Tree!

Book Worm Casual

Currently re-reading one of my all-time favorite books, Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. If you haven't read it yet - you NEED to. Story gets me teary eyed (in a good way) every time. I think this is my 6th time to read it and it just gets better and better.

It feels oddly like fall in Arkansas again, but hey...totally not complaining! But when it's not cold enough for a coat, but not warm enough to go without I always reach for my military jacket! I love pairing it with patterned neutrals like this button-up from Evy's Tree! It's kind of an almond-eque tan which I was slightly worried would wash me out (because y'all know I'm super pale) but I was definitely wrong! It's a warm neutral that would flatter any skin-tone. And it has the cutest pink flower detailing on the inside of the collar for a little added flair. But I will say, if you're a little larger chested like myself, order a size up because this button-up is fitted! But trust me, this top will quickly become a closet staple. I love mine!

Winter Blues

Over the years, I've found vests to be one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe. You can layer them over (almost) anything and they're an easy item to grab on the way out if you think you'll get chilly later. Most of the vests I currently have are puffer vests, but once I saw this vest from Evy's Tree, I knew it needed to join my collection (and it's on SALE!).

This vest is more chic than all of the other vests I own. And bonus - it's navy and brown, which makes it the perfect neutral for any outfit; but it also has a fun plaid pattern lining the inside to add an interesting statement! I chose to keep my outfit fairly neutral with a denim on denim look, but this vest would look great styled with a skirt, sweater and OTK boots or a long sleeve dress and some tights this winter!

Starting the New Year with Glitter and Ruffles

It's the start of the new year, I'm currently on break from school and it's shockingly warm (for winter) in Arkansas - all of which call for celebration! So obviously there's no better way to do that than wearing glitter shoes, a ruffled sweatshirt, pink beanie and a rose gold purse, am I right!? 

Hah - okay...maybe that's just me. But new year - fun wardrobe. Makes sense huh? And let's face it, fun clothes just make life happier. I have several zip-up sweatshirts in my closet right now, but this one stands apart from the crowd. This particular one from Evy's Tree has the cutest ruffle around the waist making it easy to dress up or down. Plus it's a universally flattering cut (not to mention its also super soft). 

I picked up these Keds when I was their social media intern a few summers back and they are still my all-time favorite pair! Glitter makes everything better and these shoes are no exception. You get the comfort of Keds with the added bonus of walking around with twinkly feet.
