Travel Outfits Style Guide

Travel Outfits Style Guide: My five main components of the perfect travel outfit are: jeans (or leggings), a comfy lightweight shirt, a jacket, an oversized tote and sneakers (or booties)! I also always bring an extra pair of socks for when my feet get cold on the plane, and I pack my tote with a pair heels or wedges along with my jewelry in case we go wear somewhere nice once we arrive and I don’t have time to change.

Good Morning everyone! I apologize for not posting the past couple of days, but I’ve been so crazy moving into our new house! Our movers cancelled on us last minute so we had to move everything ourselves down three flights of stairs, and that is definitely NOT something you want to do during July in Louisiana. The new house is precious though! It’s all white inside with the original wood floors from 1929! I posted some sneak peeks on Snapchat if you’re interested. It has so much character and charm and it sits on the most beautiful street!

Anyway, about these looks… with summer in full swing, I decided to put together two travel outfits since I’m sure a lot of you have summer vacations planned. I wore the outfit above with my favorite rose gold Joie Kidmore sneakers, which are currently 50% OFF! I styled the outfit below with a pair of lace up heels to show you how can you easily dress up your travel outfit for dinner or drinks once you arrive to your destination. Like I mentioned earlier, I always pack a pair of heels and some jewelry in my carry on tote to dress up my look in case I don’t have time to change.

Chambray Shirt + White Denim + H&M Recap

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed how often I wear my Bella Dahl chambray shirt paired with white denim. It’s just such an easy yet stylish outfit that I can throw together before running out the door. It’s like a summer uniform for me besides my chambray romper that I wear all the time.

Hi everyone, I hope you’ve all been having a great week so far. If not, at least it’s almost the  weekend, right?

Anyway, if you’ve been looking for some nice quality chambray pieces for your wardrobe, I highly recommend Bella Dahl! I swear it’s the softest most comfortable chambray shirt I’ve ever owned! I love it so much that I got it in white and the long sleeve versions too, not to mention their awesome A-line dress and romper I just got. Oops! Just try one out and you’ll see why!

I actually wore this same exact outfit to the grand opening of H&M recently in Gretna at Oakwood Mall before I changed into the most adorable striped dress shown in the photos below! You’ll also notice that I’m holding up the cutest chambray dress from the H&M in the photo! It’s equally as comfortable as my shirt!

Good Morning readers and Happy Thanksgiving! I’m so ready to scarf down some turkey, dressing and my homemade pumpkin squares at four different houses today! Yes, you read that right! I said four houses!  For those of you getting a late start to the day like myself, I’ve put together a potential Thanksgiving Day outfit with some new Hudson moto jeans available at Nordstrom. What do you think of my denim on denim look?  I feel like it works really well since the jeans are a grey wash moto style and the chambray shirt is a light shade of denim.  I threw on the plaid scarf for a hint of color and finished off the look with a black panama hat.

You can find all of these pieces at Nordstrom as well as wider selection of boots, plaid scarves, MZ Wallace bags, winter hats and especially denim. Nordstrom is always my go-to place when it comes to searching for the newest styles of jeans from my favorite denim brands like J Brand, Hudson, Citizens, Paige, DL1961 and more. I would definitely make sure to check out their Black Friday sales starting tonight!

Also, I just want to take today as an opportunity to thank you all so much for following along with Haute Off The Rack on social media and reading my blog each day. Your readership and support means everything to me! This blog wouldn’t be half as enjoyable without your feedback and involvement! Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I truly mean that! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

P.S. Stay tuned for a list of the best Black Friday Deals later today on Haute Off The Rack!

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today, I want to talk about how to wear cropped sweaters.  There are a few ways to wear them in the winter. You can wear a cropped sweater with a high waisted skirt or pants with a little hint of skin showing or you can wear a slightly longer cropped top that doesn’t show any skin at all like this one (here).  However, my favorite way to wear a cropped sweater lately is layered over a long button down shirt.  Remember when I wore a dark grey cropped sweater just like this with a white oversized shirt here–> The Debut of the Jenn Bucket Bag

To avoid looking bulky or boxy up top when layering, you need to try on a few different sizes and styles of cropped sweaters to see which style works best for you. Some of you may look great in a snug tight sweater while others rock a more loose fitting style. It really all depends on your shape and preference. Since I have a short torso I went with a size petite small for a more cropped fitted look. The regular small was too long on me and hit at an awkward spot on my stomach, which made me look boxy.  Try a few out and let me know what you think! I highly recommend trying the style shown in today’s post. As you can see below, I liked it so much that I bought it in two colors!

Keep your eye out next week to see how to wear a cropped sweater with high waisted skirts!
