A Holiday Affair {OOTD}

Hi y'all,

With only two weeks until Christmas Eve, it is officially Holiday Party season! Whether you are getting dressed up for a family affair, work party, date night, or a night out with the girls I am always a fan of the little black dress and this one is work appropriate and under $30 so I wear it constantly! Here is a quick holiday look I put together:

Old Navy Dress (on sale)/Vestique Necklace (green color on sale)/Target Heels/bracelets: Kate Spade & Groopdealz (similar)/ Anne Klein watch (similar)/Kate Spade clutch (similar)/ Target Pearl Ring (similar)/Monogram Ring Gift (similar)

What is your go-to holiday look?

OOTD {A little touch of fall}

Hey y'all,

I know that it is almost the end of November but North Carolina weather is unpredictable and this past weekend it was in the 60s and 70s! Talk about beautiful but I wanted to have my first photo shoot with Allison to include a lot of fall touches so here is an outfit for when you want to look the season but not be in a puddle by the end of the day. I hope y'all enjoy, I'm a little nervous since this is my first "real" ootd day post not taken in my apartment.

Enjoy the little details.

Some OOTDs

Hey y'all,

I was way to busy yesterday to post so I hope you understand! This past weekend I went home to visit my parents, got my hair cut (you can see the new 'do here), saw one of my best friends from high school, slept 10+ hours every night, cuddled with kittens. Then yesterday I left home to go to the dentist, drove back to Chapel Hill for a doctors appointment and then did the usual weekend things like clean my room, grocery shop all topped off with an amazing night of small group. So I hope you understand that blogging was kind of neglected but I will post my 30 days of thanks later for today and yesterday. Now onto what you really want, my daily life of outfits.

And since I have been consistently blogging for three weeks now I thought it would be fun to jump on the bandwagon of the everyday in May posts. I think they might be double posts or at the end of posts like this one but we shall see. Today's top is your favorite quote and you all know me and that I love quotes so this is super hard. My "favorite quote" on my application to Carolina was the following:

via

As an English major (hopeful at the time) I really love the quote and I still do think Cicero was on the ball with the fact that I have books in almost every room of my apartment but this quote by Dr. Seuss is currently one I think of often.
