Good Afternoon readers, I am so excited to share this travel style look from one of the most amazing new boutiques in Lafayette, Louisiana. Yes, I am talking about Amor! In case you aren’t from around here, let me fill you in on the whole boutique deal…..Sweet southern customer service and exclusivity is what shopping in Louisiana is all about! Since, there is a lack of department stores here in Louisiana, fashionable women thrive on local boutique shopping. Most boutique owners as well as their employees call all of their customers by name and know exactly how to dress and style them. They even keep track of who bought what and where that customer plans to wear it to in order to do their best to help women avoid wearing the same outfit as someone else to the same event.

Even though Amor is new to town, I know it won’t be long before it’s named as one of the “hautest” places to shop. I know this because the owners already run two very successful boutiques in Baton Rouge, Love and Eros!  Plus Amor carries all of your/my favorite lines of denim, sweaters, boots and dresses and not to mention that they have top quality customer service!

The sweet girls at Amor helped me pick out this outfit to show you the perfect “home for the holidays” look! Doesn’t get much better than a cozy cardigan, distressed denim and ankle boots. Right? It’ll take you from traveling all day by car/bus/train/plane/ and then out to get togethers with friends and family tonight. I hope you all have safe travels to wherever you’re headed for Thanksgiving!

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!

The Tourist

Outfit: BCBG Power Bandage skirt in Aqua (Thank you to Femme Fatale), Lace crochet tank (Urban Outfitters), Dolce Vita wedges (Thank you to Park Lane), Straw Fedora (here),  Aqua scarf old, similar (here),  Fringe handbag (Vertigo boutique)

Jewelry: Penny Suede lariat necklace (Thank you to Samanca), Monogram necklace (Love), Ivory beaded bracelet (Thank you to Femme Fatale),  Michael Kors watch old, similar (here), beaded wrap bracelet (here), Natural stone ring (Frock Candy)

Good Morning readers! Let me just start by saying that I adore this outfit!  I’ve worn this skirt and top in previous outfit posts (Jazz Fest & Aqua and Tangelo Orange), but this one is by far my favorite.  It’s just such a fun and casual outfit that you could wear out to lunch and shopping with the girls or on a day time date.  The scarf and fedora remind me of vacation because it’s too hot in Louisiana for summer scarves so I usually only wear them while traveling.  I posted a picture below of me wearing a scarf and fedora while visiting my family in California last summer.  I know I look like such a tourist, but I love it!!  In case you’re wondering, yes, that is my boyfriend!  We are both squinting our eyes in this picture because of how bright it was, but man, would I kill to be there right now!

By the way, I couldn’t decided what I liked better between the Samanca necklace and the aqua scarf.  That is why I photographed both.  Which one do you like better?
