Okay, I have some confessions I need to get off my chest, but first let’s talk about this dress. I found this beauty on ThredUP and it was originally from Banana Republic. It’s thick, warm, tighter around the bum area than I’m used to and I’m in to it.
I paired it with these sexy lace-up booties from, you guessed it, Target and returned to my new favorite red lip combo – Covergirl lip perfection lipliner in Passion, filled in all over my lips and topped with Covergirl Outlast in Red Revenge, both found at Walgreens (and first debuted here).
I love this dress because it’s neutral and subtle enough to pair with a blanket scarf, jacket and riding boots for running errands or heading to the office (where I work anyway), but it’s also a skin tight cheetah print situation that could be paired with a faux leather jacket and stilettos for holiday parties or date nights. I’m obsessed with my new faux leather jacket, by the way (it’s under $100 from Nordstrom), but more on that later.
Now for some confessions:
+I forgot to wear deodorant to my spin + HIIT class yesterday.
+I’m not one of those I-don’t-really-need-deodorant people.
+Then I didn’t shower before going to work. lol.
+I’m bummed that Iconosquare is going to start charging for analytics even if it is only a couple dollars a month. It’s the principle!
+I don’t actually have plans for Thanksgiving yet. Might end up eating frozen vegan pizza and champagne for my big Thanksgiving dinner.
+I really wish I lived closer to my family this time of year.
+I felt like Sophia Vergara (minus the boobs) in this dress.
+I started listening to Christmas music already. Usually I wait until after turkey day, but The Head and The Heart just did me in with this song.
+I got a little excited about cheetah print and booties and compiled them in a slide show for you below. Most of them are on sale. Shop away, my friends!

I already started listening to Christmas music too! Normally I wait until Dec 1st, as a tradition but I've been feeling worn out and I decided to go for it. Very into the cheetah print and the red lips, 10/10

I haven't had the courage to put on Christmas music myself yet but it's on in every store already! I am still so busy listening to Adele on repeat 🙂 I love those laceup booties!
