I love me some tights!! Colored tights, textured tights, patterned tights… I love them all.
Why? Not only because they’re so fun and pretty, but really - what better way to keep legs warm and interesting?! And what woman doesn’t want to bring a little attention to her stems?
2 versions of the same basic look – switched up with a simple jacket swap! My special detail of choice was this pretty little headband from Target.
I’ve tried headbands in the past and they just never look good on me. Just too bulky and don’t work with my face shape. However… these new skinny headbands with the little appliqués are adorable and work much better for my hair & face shape. Success!

The detailing of this turtleneck might be hard to see in the photos because it’s black, but it has the same gathering details as my other Express sweaters from last couple weeks.
I love detailing!! Whether it’s bedazzling, studs, lace, fabric knots, or ruffles – a little something special always makes a big difference in a look becoming uniquely yours.
I’ve never been one to wear outfits the same way time and time again. I like to switch things up, even if it’s basic changes like switching color combos.
I find it’s pretty easy to add variety if you just add one different item, accessory, or color to your outfit each time you wear it.
This look for instance was changed simply by adding tights and a different color jacked. All the basics remained the same.
As we near the end of the year, I always like to look back through my “fashion diary” and find my favorite outfits for the year. I was thinking I may even print them out and post the pics in my closet for inspiration (ps. updated closet post coming next!!).
It was only after I downloaded the pics in this post that I realized all my fave looks were all skirts / dresses / or tunics. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised… I’m just not a pants type of gal!
I think these 3 were from the year before, but still some of my faves!
Blazer: Nordstrom. Blue pinstripe ruffle oxford: NY&Co. Skirt: NY&Co. Boots: Gianni Bini. Ring: Charming Charlie. Necklace: Macy’s.
Are you a fan of equestrian fashion?
I personally adore it and appreciate the way it can be preppy or edge depending on the items chosen.
That said, I’ve never thought of incorporating it into my work wardrobe until today. I think the reason I specifically have never worn these boots to work is that I find them most flattering with a shorter skirt or dress (since the boot is flat).
For whatever reason, I changed my mind today and really liked them with this fitted khaki pencil skirt. One change I made mid-day was to tuck in the oxford top. I thought that change brought more length to the leg line, which also helps when not wearing heels to give that silhouette help.
