Sunday Style: Universal Standard

Happy Sunday! I had some fun this past week and went to visit the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. It’s one of my favorite places to go and relax and take in the sights and smells. It’s right on the lake and you can just sit and read or relax and look around at the flowers or the people- your choice! I think it was a bit overrun by children the day we went but whatever, I still had a great time exploring the pumpkin village and all of the fall flowers and decorations. 

I went to the gardens to visit and photograph a couple of new pieces from Universal Standard . I love this brand so much! They have modern, yet classic and functional pieces and so easy to wear! They also have sizes that range from 00-32 so they are a true size inclusive clothing company! 

First up, is this gorgeous shirt dress! This is the Rubicon dress in the Rum Raisin color. My friend said it looks like a long shirt and I’m like yes, it’s a shirt dress (insert laughing emoji here).  I love this color for fall and winter too! It’s such a rich color that you can do so much with! I wanted to wear just leopard mules and some earrings so the focus would be on the dress and the shape of it. I think next time I’ll wear tights and a blanket scarf with it! 











The next outfit I’m wearing- I can’t even believe I’m wearing it. I’ll tell you why- these are culottes. Omg I know. But they are super comfortable and I’m not that mad about wearing them. These are the Elvo culottes in a gorgeous shade of pumpkin and perfect for matching all the foliage at the gardens this time of year. The top is also from Universal Standard from a previous purchase. It’s the Rhine Color Block Cuff top in black with off white cuffs and is a fun top to wear alone or layer. I just added a scarf and tennis shoes for this trip but I could see adding a jacket for work and some heels too. I will say these culottes do wrinkle a bit more than I like- just an FYI if you decide to get them. 








I didn’t take that many more pics this trip to the gardens but I’ll be going back soon and you know all the Christmas decorations will already be out- I don’t know how I feel about that yet. 

Hope you’ve all been enjoying your weekend and remembered to set your clocks back! 

Thanks for reading and following along with me!

Less Bitter, More Glitter

Image
The saying goes "Spread Kindness around like Glitter" -okay it is really "Spread Kindness around like Confetti", but why not glitter instead? Glitter can be messy, it can be hard to clean up and can be fun and colorful. Just like our lives. Just a friendly reminder that this time of year can especially be a hard time for people. Holidays are a time when a lot of people see their friends and family but sometimes people don’t have anyone. Or maybe there are some people who don’t have much money to get gifts. Or some are remembering those that are no longer with us here on earth. Regardless of how you do or do not celebrate, remember to throw kindness around freely! Less bitterm more glitter! It’s a great time to spread cheer but so is all year!   Show a smile to a stranger or pay for someone’s drink behind you in line. Write someone a note to tell them how much you appreciate them. Random acts of kindness are good all throughout the year. When all els

Chic Soul May New Arrivals

This post is sponsored by  Chic Soul .  Now I already know what you’re thinking- what is she doing posting May content in the middle of June? Well as you all know, there has just been so much going on that sometimes posts like this one get delayed. Sometimes it’s more important to follow along with the way the world is going and prioritize other things that mean more like the Black Lives Matter movement. Sometimes work we do as bloggers and influencers needs to be delayed so the focus can really be on what matters or what is going on in the world. This is just one of those times.  Now you all know that I won’t disappoint you with these fresh new looks! I chose a couple of dresses and a couple of casual looks. I can’t believe I’m wearing shorts in two of these looks! You all know I’m normally a dress wearing gal but I do love some fun casual looks as well! Over on my Instagram, I did try-ons and had people vote for which look they wanted to see first. The first look was this navy one th
