Three-fer Thursday, Favorite Fashion Friday, All Things Thursday , 

As you get older... things start to change. I'm going through some major changes this year and it really just hit me that this will be my last "single" Valentine's Day. So crazy to think, but I really went through a page roll in my mind of all my past Valentine's Days and how this one is different. This one is different because it is finally sinking in... I'm about to get married. Hey, don't get me wrong... I'm over the mood excited!!! I'm also scared though... just like with any other big change life is about to get a makeover. I know I'm going to be one happy lady... and I also know I found someone who will make every day of my life the best ever. I just don't know what to expect... how I will feel.... what will be the big "change".  Life is already pretty awesome! Luke treats me like a princess and he is already my number one. Sorry to ramble, but I know I'm not the only person who has gone through this and would love to hear your stories. Love is a journey and everyone's is different. I'd love to learn about you and your love story... maybe it will help me along my own journey.

Now on to some lighter reading... to be honest, casual date nights are more my thing. When Luke and I go out to somewhere low key for dinner and I wear flats and a simple dress I feel the most myself. He always tells me he likes me best when I'm undone.... he also could do without all the lipstick (ha!). 

Chambray is kind of a necessity in life. Dress it up with heels... or down with flats... you can really do no wrong. I had wanted a chambray dress last spring, but apparently had things higher on my wants list... so I snatched this up a couple weeks ago from J Crew Factory. Better late than never right? Since I'm loving red and black so much these days... why not pull the three together. My K slademade clutch added the perfect touch of color and I added an old J Crew scarf from my closet to pull it all together. 

I hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for reading!

I don't know about you, but this weather is getting a little much... One day it's in the 50's and the next we are calling for snow and wearing puffer jackets. It can make a girl go crazy... especially when trying to get dressed in the morning! 

For the warmer days we have had this has been a go-to look. Especially when I have plans after the work day. I often trade out my bottoms from work with denim to bring my work wear from day to night. 

The blazer was a find last spring from Forever 21, I just love the color and wear it to work on days that need some extra color. I found a pretty amazing dupe here from Nordstrom... so if you are in the market for a mint blazer you're in for a treat. The peplum top added some femininity to the look and the lighter stripes are a great compliment with mint. I can't get enough blazers... I love that I can create so many different looks with one piece. 

How are you coping with the crazy weather? 

I hope you are having a great day and thanks so much for reading!

Working Girl With Style

With Valentine's day just a couple weeks away, I felt it fitting to get in the swing of things and use Cupid for some outfit inspiration. I love pink and red together! Something about the pair together helps to add cheer to any outfit. I've had this trench since college... I don't wear it often, but I definitely should! A good jacket for rainy days is a must have with spring approaching and with the haphazard weather we have been experiencing keeping one handy is in your best interest(especially in TN!).

This top from Target has definitely gotten it's wear! I wear this to work all the time, but wanted to pair it with something a little more flirty for a change. This would be the perfect outfit for a dinner date for Valentine's day. If it's too chilly to wear a skirt, swap out for some dark or black denim.

I'm excited to be entering into another month. Not only is Valentine's day one of my favorite holidays, but I'm also another month closer to being Mrs. D! I hate to wish time away, but I can't help myself.

Did you partake in the Super Bowl festivities? I'm a bit of an old lady and couldn't stay up to watch the finish. I love sports... but I never said I was a die hard fan ya'll! 

Happy Monday and thank you for reading!
