Happy January and 2025! I really hope that you all had a good holiday season and start to the new year! I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted on here and I ended up not sharing anything for the month of December. We actually had my husbands’ family in town for Christmas so things were very busy spending time with them as well as having my little brother in town for Thanksgiving. But I am happy to be back posting on here again and plan to do so more regularly 🙂

One thing I’ve done a bit different this year already, is have a slower approach to the new year. In the past, I’ve often put a lot of pressure on myself to start strong and hit the ground running with my resolutions. But this year, I’ve taken the first week of January to rest and recharge. I’ve spent more time at home reading books, drinking tea, listening to records and ease into the new year.

I recently replaced my old record player and I am so happy with my new one! When I first got my set up, I tried to make this receiver work with vintage speakers but I couldn’t get it to work. That’s when I decided to go with a bluetooth record player and speakers. It’s SO much easier to set up and the sound quality is great with the Marshall speaker!

As I mentioned, I am taking a bit of a slower approach to the new year which also means I’ve been gravitating towards comfortable and cozy pieces. This yellow two piece set is so cozy (use my code THEMOPTOP20 for 20% off!) and I’m looking forward to styling these shorts for the summer too! And if you’re on the hunt for a good pair of cozy socks, I highly recommend this pair!

Not sure if anyone reads my blog anymore but I always miss posting and sharing updates so I am happy to be back and continue to share more on here this year 🙂

What I’m wearing: Yellow Set: The Knotty Ones (THEMOPTOP20 for 20% off!), Socks: Le Bonne Shoppe

Record Player Set Up: Speaker: Marshall Stanmore III, Record Player: Audio Technica, Media Stand: Vintage (similar style here)

I can’t believe it’s been since September since I last posted! We just got back from a two week road trip so things we’re a little hectic for awhile. But I’m back and excited to share this vintage inspired mohair cardigan. It was one of those pieces that I just kinda glanced by when I first saw it online but I am so glad I got it! I love all of the little details and how it looks like it could be either handmade or vintage. It’s definitely going to end up being one of those pieces that I will love for years.

I’ve also really been inspired by classic styles lately. Loafers and these glasses have become staples that I feel like end up completing my look. Ok just a quick post because my little brother is visiting for Thanksgiving..I just wanted to get this outfit up! 🙂

What I’m Wearing: Mohair Cardigan: Sezane, Pants: Aritzia, Glasses: Eye Buy Direct, Bag: Le Tanneur, Loafers: G.H. Bass, Socks: Le Bonne

To me, September finally marks us getting closer to the colder months which means coat and sweater season! A staple for me for during the cooler months has been a trench coat. I feel like it’s the perfect classic piece and also the ideal transitional piece for summer to fall. It also just has such a nostalgic feel to me as well. And I think they pair so well with creams and white! I also styled a trench in a bit more of a modern, classic way last year here!

Also, I recently bought these glasses and I love how they look with my outfits! They’re blue light glasses and I’ve been trying to wear them more often since I’m always on my phone or computer. I love that they’re not only good for my eyes but I think they look cute with my outfits! So expect to see them more :’)

Anyways, that’s it for now! I’m in Arizona visiting family and am very pooped from traveling lol

I first bought this pair of boxer shorts a couple of years ago and I ended up wearing them so much, I bought a second pair! With the heat in Texas, I’ve been needing to find options that can get me through the weather. So I figured I would share a post styling boxer shorts! You might remember me sharing this outfit with the same shorts here. I really love that they’re a good option to wear in the summer but can easily be styled for fall. It seems like fall is awhile away from us in Texas, but a girl can dream!

I’ve got a couple of busy months ahead! Next month, I am going to visit my dad in Arizona and will be stopping by Palm Springs for a couple of days. Then in November, my husband and I will be driving to watch my little brother play football at his college in Iowa. We then will be driving to Chicago for a couple of days! I’ve never been to Chicago and have always wanted to visit, so I am really looking forward to this!

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this post on how I’ve been styling boxer shorts, let me know what outfit you like best!

As much as I don’t want to admit it, I feel like fall is still aways away for us here in Texas. But that won’t keep me from sharing a few summer to fall outfits! Finding pieces that can be worn multiple ways or into every season is always a big deciding factor for me when adding new pieces to my wardrobe. Items like sandals, woven bags, and sweaters are all pieces that I like to wear from summer to fall. I am really ready for the weather to cool down so that I can wear sweaters again! My makeup was definitely melting off my face when taking these photos lol

Also, I know it is very hot for most of us but I am really loving this butter yellow sweater! I have a feeling it’s going to be on repeat for me this year as well as this one! I really just love fall outfits so much!

What I’m wearing:

Outfit One: Sweater: Everlane, Pants: Everlane, Bag: Mansur Gavriel, Sandals: Hereu via Farfetch

Outfit Two: Sweater: Everlane, Top: Everlane, Sunglasses: Lexxola, Pants: Everlane, Bag: Commission NYC via Nordstrom, Shoes: Labucq

Outfit Three: Sweater: Everlane, Bag: Vintage/Thrifted, Pants: Everlane, Sandals: Hereu via Farfetch
