Tee Time

Hola & happy Thursday (just had to double check what day it was, nbd). During Thanksgiving break, I had a fun little photoshoot on the golf course in one of my new favorite dresses. I totally got distracted in sharing these photos (Finals week, I’m lookin at you), but I really liked the different background. Shooting at golden hour always just adds something extra special to any OOTD photoshoot. It’s especially great for winter days where there isn’t a whole lot of sunshine and colorful flora to work with.

printed dress (size XS) | black tights | black OTK boots (linked similar) | navy choker (on sale!)

This dress is definitely more ‘tea time’ appropriate than ‘tee time’, but hey, why not? Though I would probably not wear this outfit for a round of golf, I do have to admit I’ve been wearing the heck out of this dress this past month. I actually own it in two different patterns now, and I like that’s kind of a ‘no brainer’ dress than I can throw on & go. I find the dress to be very flattering and surprisingly versatile for winter. I paired it with black tights, black over the knee boots, and a velvet choker necklace for church and dinner with my family. However, I think it would look awesome with a black leather jacket + tall booties for a night out or with a black fur coat/vest on a super chilly day. I really like the way the navy velvet choker paired with the dress (though my mom originally asked me if I was wearing a turtleneck under my dress?). I think it adds a really different, on-trend vibe.

So I officially finished my second to last semester of college (ahh!!), and I can’t wait to head home this weekend to see my fam. On Wednesday, we will be heading off to Dubai, so let me know if you have any movie/tv show/music recommendations for the mega long flight! I hope you’re having a fantastic week (and staying warm!).

xoxo,

Mackenzie

Even though spring is almost here, it’s still very chilly here in the South. So in these last few weeks of cold weather, I love to break out my favorite winter outfits. This #edgy one is no exception. An all-black outfit is always my go-to whether I am hitting the town with friends or going on a date night. I paired my favorite leather jacket with a black blouse, ripped jeans, statement heels, and, of course, bold, red lips. There’s something about the combination of leather and red lips that makes me totally feel like Sandy from Greece.

Tell me about it, stud.

If you have been following me on Tumblr for the past two years, you know that I have always been scared of wearing jeans for some bizarre reason. To be completely honest, I don’t think I have even tried on jeans in the past five to six years, which is crazy; I know. It is a new year and a new season in my life, so I decided to break out of my comfort zone and do something completely different. I fell in love with this comfortable pair of Paige jeans. They had the perfect amount of ‘rips’, making them a little edgy, but still totally wearable. They were on sale at Nordstrom Rack in my hometown, so I couldn’t find an excuse to say no.  To make this outfit a little more casual, you could swap out the heels for some riding boots, ballet flats, or booties and rock a neutral glossy lip instead of the bold red.

I hope that y’all had an awesome Valentine’s Day & that you are having a fabulous week so far!

Jumpsuit (linked similar) |Fur Shawl (linked similar) | Platforms (c/o) | Necklace

When I think of wide legged jumpsuits and chunky platforms, I totally think 70’s glam. The 70’s is definitely my favorite decade when it comes to fashion and beauty. I thought this look would be perfect for Valentine’s Day date night or even a gal’s night. I love how this jumpsuit shows just the right amount of skin, and the faux fur shawl and bold heels really dress it up. I’ve linked some similar jumpsuits below! Also,  these chunky platform heels are actually now on sale – which is so groovy.

I hope you all are having a fabulous week!

Tee  | Sweatshirt |  Leggings  |  Converse | Backpack

Happy Thursday! Winter break is almost over for me, and college classes begin again this Monday. One thing I love about going back to school is having a valid excuse to break out all my comfy clothes again. For class, you can always find me in an oversized shirt and leggings. It’s quick and easy, which is what I am all about during the semester. When it comes to tshirts, I absolutely love the Free People tees. I have several of them now, and I wear them all year long. They are very versatile because you can wear them with leggings and tennis shoes or you can pair them with cute shorts and sandals. The one I am wearing here is in the color ‘Army‘ and is a size small.

Sometimes the library or the classroom can be freezing, so I always take a sweatshirt with me. I love Wildfox sweatshirts because they can easily fit in my backpack or be worn around the waist. They are also incredibly soft, and I love the sassy phrases that they all have on the front. I’ve linked some more Wildfox sweatshirts below; they are definitely so much more special than your average sweatshirt!

Let me know what your go-to casual and comfy look is!

Cape (similar) | Black Dress (c/o) | Boots (now more than half off!) | Necklace

Hello, friends! I’ve been obsessed with capes over the past months; I pretty much live in them. I use to be in love with cardigans, but lately, capes have taken over my wardrobe. They are so warm and comfy, and it’s pretty much like wearing a blanket in public. I’m a sucker for comfort. Plus, capes are just such an easy layer to throw on quickly before heading out for the day. If you go out to eat, and it’s warm in the restaurant, you can just take them off! I usually pair my capes with a simple, neutral, long sleeve dress and knee high boots. However, you could also pair them with jeans and booties for a more casual look. I’ve linked some cape suggestions below!

It’s been so incredible being back in Dallas for break. I am home for the next three weeks, so let me know if y’all have any specific posts you would like to see while I am home! This weekend, I am heading to North Carolina for Wake Forest’s bid
day, and I am so excited to finally see Winston-Salem!

Thank you so much to Taylor Nicole Photography for these gorgeous, gorgeous photos!

Top | Shorts | Sandals (similar) | Earrings

Hey y’all! I am officially back from London. It’s been awesome to finally see my friends and family, but I definitely miss England. In celebration of the Lilly Pulitzer ‘After Party Sale’, I decided to break out my favorite Elsa top. I paired it with white shorts, white sandals, and some bold tassel earrings (that are only $32!). Turquoise, lime green, and white is such a fun color combination for summer. I head off back to college today, and I am very excited to get back into a routine and catch up with my friends there. I am very sad that summer is coming to an end, but I am very excited and optimistic to see what this fall has in store.

Dress • Sandals • Earrings

Happy 4th of July, friends! This dress has actually been my favorite piece for summer. Off shoulder tops and dresses have definitely been my ‘go-to’ this season. I paired this patriotic dress with some white stone earrings and white sandals for a day spent exploring the city. However, it would look awesome with wedges and a clutch for night!

These photos were taken at Neal’s Yard in London. My friend recommended that I check out this colorful cluster of buildings and shops. This little spot was difficult to find at first, but well worth the trip. I loved the bright walls and all of the fun restaurants. My mom and I had a fabulous time visiting this unique part of town. I am having such an incredibly time in London so far, and I’m almost positive that I’m not ever going to leave. Tomorrow I move into my dorm, and it will be nice to not live out of a suitcase anymore. I couldn’t be having a better time in this perfect city! Words can’t describe how much I love it here.

I hope you all are having a fabulous 4th of July and enjoying the holiday!

Dress Red Dress Boutique (Red dress boutique just put up a similar one, but here are some other options as well: similarsimilar, similar, similar) • Wedges Tory Burch • Earrings Kendra Scott • Bracelets David Yurman • Lipstick Revlon Colorburst in ‘Sweetheart Valentine’

When I saw this dress go up on my favorite online boutique a few months ago, I knew I needed this fun piece in my closet. The bright tie dye really adds a fun pop of color to any rainy day. I decided to pair it with my favorite Tory Burch wedges and some bold Kendra Scott Skylar earrings. To finish the rainbow look, I added some bright lips with the Revlon Colorburst matte balm stain in the shade ‘Sweetheart Valentine’. It’s that perfect fuchsia shade that really works for any summer outfit. The matte balm stain is super pigmented and long lasting; I’ve been loving it this month! Sadly, this tie dye dress isn’t available on Red Dress Boutique anymore, but there are so many other cute and bright dresses available on their site at the moment! (Also, if you use the code ‘FIRECRACKER’ today you can get 30% off!)

P.S. I am heading to my favorite store, Lush today! I will making a post some time this week about my Lush ‘hits and misses’ over the years!

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!
