*Outfit: Amanda Uprichard Tina Halter in Panama (The Mix in Mandeville), Wax Coated Denim in Dark Wine (J Brand), Ankle Wrap Heels (BCBG, old)

Jewelry: La Mer Collections Wrap Watch (The Villa in Mandeville), Renegade Cluster Bracelet (Stella & Dot),  Vintage-Inspired Franny Ring (Club Monaco)

Good Morning readers, this is my third post on how to wear these gorgeous wax-coated skinnies in Dark Wine by J Brand Jeans. This could possibly be my favorite combination out of the three because I absolutely love how the rich, dark wine color just pops against this Amanda Uprichard printed Tina Halter.  Speaking of the halter top by AU, it comes in a beautiful assortment of vibrant colors along with this Panama Print.  The best part about this top is its versatility!  The styling options for this printed top are endless!  It looks super sophisticated and classy tucked into a fitted pencil skirt or dressy shorts.  You can even wear it work if you pair it with a tailored blazer. As you can see, this print looks amazing with colored bottoms because it allows the colors to stand out! If you don’t own any colored denim, I highly recommend trying out this rich opulent color.  However, if colored denim isn’t your thing, this printed top will still look just as stunning with a colored shoe or blazer.

Eros offers such a great selection of colored and wax coated denim by DL1961, Citizens, Hudson’s and more!  My favorite is the Citizens Wax Coated denim in Saddle (Cognac)!

These are just a few pairs from their large assortment of riding boots!

Good Morning readers, thank God it’s finally Friday!  I hope you all have some fun events planned for the weekend!  Speaking of fun, last night I attended the Eros 11th Anniversary Party with my a few of my co-workers from Love, which is the sister store to Eros!  In case you couldn’t tell from the photos, we had a great time sipping cocktails, visiting with friends and of course shopping!  We even each picked our favorite item in the store, which was pretty difficult considering that everything was beautiful!

P.S. I’m sorry that I don’t have time to write more about the event, but I’m pressed for time today!  I have a lot to accomplish before NOLA Fashion Week.

 Have a great weekend!

The Perfect Cozy Sweater Dress

Outfit: Acrobat Sweater Dress (Love boutique), Dee Keller Wedges (Thank you to Park Lane),  Jet Set Travel Tote (Michael Kors), Leopard Calf Hair Belt (J. Crew, but similar (here)

Jewelry: Franny Cocktail Ring (Club Monaco), La Mer Wrap Watch (The Villa), Renegade Cluster Bracelet (Stella and Dot)

Good Morning readers,  I’m so glad that I finally have an outfit post to share with you plus more to come! Every year I try and and find that perfect sweater dress that hits at the right length and hugs my body in all the right places.  Well, I think I’ve found it!  This Acrobat sweater dress from Love fits perfectly and the neutral color allows you to style it in so many different ways!  It’s incredibly soft and cozy with a detachable fringe scarf.  Yes, I said that right, detachable fringe scarf!  So not only does the scarf the add just little bit of bit of flair to this sweater dress, but it can also be removed and worn with other basic pieces that you already own!  What a deal, right!

P.S. What do you all think of the new changes to the Haute Off The Rack logo?  I am just loving the simplicity of blue and silvery grey, which are actually the colors of my room.  A huge thank you to Kristen Blake Soileau for helping me out with that! She did such an amazing job!  Let me know what you think!  Oh, and come visit me at Love boutique today if you’re in the area!

Have a great day!
