Happy Thanksgiving Eve!  I love the night before a big holiday!  I think it goes back to being in grade school, when you got out of school early and could stay up late on a weeknight.  In my best attempt at adulting in this life, I am still excited to stay up late before a holiday.  Except now, my late night is filled with doing billable work, because November is the end of my billable year, and I need to get my hours in.  Sigh.

Vince Camuto Leggings (available in gray, black, espresso)

Baublebar Necklace

I am finally showing off this Topshop Patchwork Cardigan, that was such a great find back during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  It’s super comfy and easy to throw on over a tank or camisole. When I wore it to the Office, it served as a second blanket! Plus, it has pockets.  I couldn’t find the exact color pattern, but Topshop has it in a nice gray color, that is a perfect neutral.

My Favorite Transition Coat + Life Updates

Aldo ‘Juliusa’ Slingback Mule

This week has been a doozy, for many, different reasons.  Let’s just talk about the positives.  I LOVED London and cannot wait to go back.  It was everything and more, but I will share details in a post coming up!  We are getting so close to the Holidays and I am so not ready.  I am usually so good with getting my Christmas shopping done early, but this year, I am not quite motivated yet.  I will be doing some posts on gifts for friends, loved ones, and of course, your self, so maybe that will get me in the spirt.

As for my outfit share this week, it’s still a warm-ish look because the temperature here is pretty moderate.  Plus, I am not a stockings type of girl, unless it’s Christmas Mass.  This Zara ‘pointed jacket’ was such a great find.  I ordered it on a whim from the Zara website, and loved it the minute I put it on.  I would not necessarily call it a “jacket,” as I feel it is more of a thick cotton material that can be worn as a sweater or transitional outerwear.  When I say ‘transitional outerwear,’ I mean an item you can wear commuting to work, while sitting at work, and then out for dinner.  Ok, I totally made that term up and gave it my own definition.  The jacket also has black piping, which gives it a great contrast against the beige.

For my dress, this ASTR Mock Neck Body-con dress is such a cute classic cut and perfect for dinner and a night out.  I like pairing a sleeveless dress or top with the Zara jacket, as the jacket sleeves fit just right on my arms, so it’s nice to not scrunch up an extra set of sleeves.

Lace-up trend

My Tip Tuesday post this week is more like Trend Tuesday.  I am showing the lace-up trend that is everywhere, repeat, everywhere this season.  Lace-ups are seen on dresses, sweaters, and tops, in all sorts of styles, ranging from work wear to casual attire to date-night looks.  The great thing about this trend is that you can make it work in a variety of ways, and at all different price points.

Taupe Suede Dress + Black Booties

ASTR Faux Suede Mock Neck Shift Dress – Taupe (also available in charcoal)

Vince Camuto booties (old) – similar here and here

These are the first set of photos from my shoot with Laura, and I love them all so much!  This ASTR dress is one of my favorite picks for the Fall.  ASTR is sold at Nordstrom and they have afforable pieces that are on-trend, while being classic enough that you can wear them over and over again. This dress is no exception.  It’s a shift dress, so the shape is very flattering and forgiving.  The faux suede material is super nice and smooth.  Plus this taupe color is everywhere this season.
