Happy Friday Eve! Guys January is almost over, what the heck? This week has been challenging but I made it and I’m thankful for that. Today’s casual look features 2 favorites, my oversize buffalo plaid shirt and my velvet booties. I got this shirt in XL because I wanted it to be over-sized, I just love grabbing it when I’m headed to the movies for extra warmth. These booties were an impulse purchase but one I never regretted, I’ve worn them to work, to go out and to run errands. That’s the good thing about pointed toe shoes in my opinion, they can easily be dressed up or down.
During the Summer I will probably swap the jeans and booties for shorts and sandals (these are hands down my favorite sandals) to recreate this look. Keeping this one short and sweet, have a great day and thank you for reading!
PS: I’ve been updating my Closet and Beauty staples section with all the items I’m loving lately.

OK I wanted to share something a little different, today is National Spouses Day. Yesterday I got this email and this was so interesting to me and I figure you guys might like it as well. To all of you that are married, what do you think?

The velvet booties are such an unexpected and fun pairing with this. Love the buffalo check. Also a favorite of mine.

I always love a good buffalo plaid shirt!
Love this casual look. Those booties and that shirt are no brainers, such great staples! How funny is the survey. I will have to wish my hubby a happy day.

Obsessed with this look! The buffalo plaid and black looks fab!
Ha! The spouse facts are so fun to read! I love this outfit…I have a similar shirt and reach for it more than I’ve shown on my blog, mainly because I wear it the same way every time (all black top +bottom just like you) so there’s nothing new to show! It’s a great piece.

This buffalo plaid is so flattering on you! With the cute tank underneath and your skin tone, a knock out!
Absolutely love this entire look! I agree with a couple of things in the survey some of those statements are harsh!
Very cute look!

Oh yeah an over-sized shirt like this great, it kind of acts like a light jacket. And the boots are gorgeous, and that two inch is good for walking too!
