Faux Leather Skirt | OOTD

authenb

This is one of my favorite fall looks so far! For me, this OOTD has the variations of traditional fall colors, a fun hat, and a bit of unexpected flair.

Honestly, bringing so many colors together in one look when you LOVE black is not easy but it can be done. My cool army green faux leather skirt is sponsored by Shein.com. It passes the mom test (you can chase your kid with out showing too much skin) and is so comfortable. I pulled out my Natural+Wild+Free comfy tee to keep the look super casual. Layering it with my trusty faux leather jacket that I’ve had for the last 5+ years  helps to tie in the black from my converse. The cherry on top is this AMAZING Phoebe hat from Jaimie Slye. This hat really brings this great look to life! Lets not forget that this hat is crushable/packable and made in the USA. Meaning it’s toddler proof! Need I say more?

Leave me a comment about your favorite way to incorporate multiple fall colors into one look. Enjoy!

Black + Black | OOTD

Wearing all black is such a beautiful thing when you can get all of your  blacks to match. Ha ha!  When you wear black all of the time you know exactly what I mean. This cold shoulder ruffled shirt dress sponsored by MakeMeChic.com will make your life that much easier. The “all black” look is easier to achieve when you have fewer pieces to include. All this dress needs is shoes and accessories.

Choosing this “Viv” hat sponsored by Jamie Slye to compliment this dress was a no brainer. It too has an amazing rich color and fun story to got with it. The Viv is made in the USA, completely crushable, and water repellent. If you’ve seen my three year old son Grant you’d know that I NEED this kind of durability with anything that he comes in contact with.

Lastly, I paired my booties from Old Navy to finish off this look and I was all set. This OOTD with take you no time to get dressed and can easily be duplicated. Send me pictures and leave me comments about how you could style a similar OOTD. Enjoy!

Holiday Sequins | OOTD

authenb

In my mind, November 1st officially kicks off the holiday season. Besides, I’m already hearing Christmas music so I might as well offer some fashion advice for the many holiday parties that are to come. This is the perfect time to break out something bright, exciting, and unexpected. It’s fun to stand out,be festive, and have your outfit be a conversation piece at holiday gatherings.

Besides your traditional red, green, and white try SEQUINS! This sequins jumper sponsored by Dresslily.com has beautiful geometric shapes and patterns to really make a statement. I love the idea of a one piece outfit. It just simplifies getting ready  and offers you an alternative to a regular top and bottom.

When it comes to accessories, I added a statement necklace that fit the neckline of the jumper beautifully. I went more conservative with my earrings, shoes, and jacket. Who knows, if it never warms up this season you could even go with out a cover up. Add in a rosy red lip and you are all set! Leave me a comment about your fun fashion ideas for holiday parties. Enjoy!

Falling for Floral | OOTD

authenb

This two piece cut out sponsored by DressLily.com is my version of Fall Floral. Ha ha! I know its laughable but Fall in Texas is still 80+ degrees. This floral design does have richer tones with a  hint of deep orange. These colors definitely make this look more “Fall appropriate”. Of course, to make it feel more like Fall I layered a fuzzy collared denim jacket on top and my Coach Preston booties on bottom. Now, if it would only cool down just a bit more. Enjoy!

Navy Bomber | OOTD

Just say NO to boring bombers ladies! Bombers are trending right now but at some point it can feel like “seen one seen them all”. I like to bring a bold edgy element to many of my looks and I did that easily by going for a long calf length bomber instead of the cropped one you’ve seen a million times. My friends over at Makemechic.com we so gracious to send me this amazing piece and that quality is amazing. It’s well made and will definitely keep the chill off whenever if decides to really cool down in Houston. A minimalist graphic tee from Richly Clad, long line necklace from Charming Charlie, and fantabulous over the knee boots sponsored by my RoseGal.com family, really makes you look twice at all these shades of blue. I’m smitten over this look but leave me a comment and tell me how you’d style this ultra cool bomber. Enjoy!
