Hi friends!! It sure is shaping up to be a busy week over here! There’s no school Friday or Monday, so it’s also a short week. I’ve packed in several workouts, phone conferences, an orthodontist appointment and basketball practice all into three days! No wonder I’ve been going to sleep at the same time as Jordan every night!
Tonight is a zoom parent/teacher conference and then a couples’ date night! I’m so looking forward to it!
DRESSING ROOM | WORK TO WEEKEND
Today is a dressing room post with items mostly from Target, Express, and Abercrombie. And I’m so excited about a new pair of work pants! I remember how ESSENTIAL they were during my time in a professional office.
SIZE REFERENCE : I’m petite, 5’1, about 110 pounds. I usually wear 0P or 25 in jeans and XS or 0P tops.
Accessories Worn: Mama Necklace • Wrap Bracelet • Beaded Bracelets • Gorjana Ring
WORKWEAR
First up, let’s talk workwear, specifically one of the best pair of pants I’ve tried in a long time! These bootcut high-waist pants from Express take me back to my lawyer days!
These exact same pants are what are used to wear to work most days. They are incredibly comfortable and well-made, plus they come in short, tall, and regular lengths. The difference between my old work pants and these, is the high-rise.
Back then, I probably wouldn’t be caught dead in high-rise pants, but now it’s what I prefer!
I’m definitely keeping these because you never know when you’re going to need a pair of black pants. They are versatile for the office and beyond and are so flattering! They have front pockets as well as belt loops for a belt. They back pockets are sewn shut so they’re nice and smooth.

The top is a soft dolman short sleeve sweater with an almost boatneck. It looks as good with pants as it does with jeans (you’ll see below)!

This blouse is perfect for the office also, and has a texture to it with a rusched sleeve. It’s on the sheer side, so you’ll want to wear a cami underneath. I love the color for Fall!

I also tried the slim ankle pants and really liked those too. They are a pull-on style without any zipper or belt loops, but they do have pockets.

What I couldn’t keep my eye off of though, was this top! Would you believe it’s from Walmart?! I couldn’t wait to share it with you and I will have a full Walmart post for you tomorrow (my first one)!
This top is in the prettiest shade of green with black pebbles and I love the peplum style. It looks expensive, but is only $25.

JEANS OUTFITS
Crochet Top (on sale) • Jeans (on sale) • Heels • Similar Clutch
How pretty is this crochet top?! It’s a gorgeous rose color and the detail is exquisite! The puffed sleeve adds a bit of drama and it’s camisole lined underneath.
The jeans are a great distressed pair from Abercrombie. I don’t know why, but I feel like a ‘cool mom’ when I wear them! They are high waist, but don’t stretch.

The jeans are by Abercrombie in a high rise, super skinny style. I bought my true size, but had to do a few ‘squat lunges’ to loosen them up a bit before comfortably wearing. I like the casual, distressed style and chewed hem. 20% off & BOGO 50% off

Sooo smitten with this crochet top! It’s so darling and the details are gorgeous! It’s fully lined and zips up the side. The ruffled sleeves are a fun touch and there’s no side bra showing since the arm holes are sized just right. You can tuck it or wear it untucked. 30% off

Gibson Bodysuit (50% off) • Jeans (50% off) • Cardigan (on sale) • Booties
I’m always a fan of a long cardigan. They seem so extra chic and cozy to me. This one is a navy/light cream as opposed to black and white, which is a nice change.
I’m wearing the soft (full bottom) bodysuit with it and it goes perfectly! But you could also layer a tee or cami underneath.
The jeans were a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale score and they are so freaking comfortable. They have a ton of stretch, but I find that they still hold their shape all day.

WHITE JEANS OUTFITS
Top • Jeans • Sandals (on sale) • Crossbody
Target sure is getting it right with these embroidered tops! This one definitely says Fall with its orange rust color. The relaxed style is easy to wear and looks like you put in a bit more effort than just wearing a tee (while being just as comfortable).
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Jeans Fit: I’m wearing a 25
Sweatshirt (on sale) • Jeans • Boots
Of course I like the neutral colorblock on this sweatshirt. It’s super soft inside and also quite warm. The raw edge stitching is a fun touch and gives it a cool vibe.

You’ve seen this fleece snap pullover before, but I wanted to show you how fresh it looks with white jeans and tan booties. It’s also quite warm, still too warm for Houston unfortunately.

DRESSES
Dress • Boots (40% off) • Crossbody
Fall boho style dresses are a favorite for weekends when you want a change from jeans. They look so good with booties and even better when you add a jean jacket!
Dress Fit: I’m wearing an XS
If you need a jean jacket, I highly recommend this one from Amazon. It checks all the boxes for fit, style, quality and price! It’s really well made and goes with nearly everything!
A dressier style dress is the wrap midi beauty. It has a flirty ruffled hem and moves beautifully when you walk, showing off just a bit of leg. It’s fully lined and also comes in a pretty black floral print.
Dress Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Ooh la la! What a fun party dress! If you have a Fall wedding to attend or hot date, this would be stunning. The high mock neck balances out the shorter length. It’s got a smocked waist that draws you in and the ruffled three-tier skirt is made for dancing!
Dress Fit: I’m wearing an XS
This maxi dress is perfect for transitioning to Fall because it’s made of a crochet/sweater material. It’s fully lined and skims the body beautifully. It’s also quite stretchy to accomodate any curves.
Dress Fit: I’m wearing an XS
It’s been awhile since I’ve found a skirt I like as much as this one. It’s the softest suede material and such a pretty warm brown. The paperbag waist is flattering for tucking in a top or sweater. And you can add a scarf and tights when it gets gold out.
Top Fit: I’m wearing an XS
Skirt Fit: I’m wearing an XS
If you are #teamjumpsuit, you might like this one. It’s a short sleeve blouse style with sheer sleeves, a v-neck, and flowy crop length pants. The jumpsuit is fully lined and has a smocked waist. It would be a great wedding guest outfit with statement jewelry and a fun clutch.

Have you been enjoying dressing room posts from different retailers? I’ve been happy with the orders I’ve placed at Express, Abercrombie, Target, Old Navy and Red Dress lately. I need to see what’s new at Loft and Nordstrom too.
What retailer would you like to see me feature next? See you tomorrow with a new try-on from Walmart!
Have a great day friends!
Amazing outfits:D
Love the black dresses on you!

Thanks so much Kathy!
I like your style a lot, but I wish you would not always wear jeans with big rips/holes. I think they are more appropriate for the younger “20 something” girls. Just my opinion as a professional working mom- no offense. I also think the suede skirt is pretty but wayyyy to short for same- save it for the younger girls.

Yes, all personal preference Sara! Wear what you feel confident and best in!
I adore your style, you look wonderful!
