Working full-time and trying to balance a life outside of work can be a bit hectic. One of the things I have learned to make it easier for me is choosing the appropriate outfit. You’re probably wondering, what does choosing an outfit have to do with making your life less hectic? Do you ever have those days where you have to go to a dinner after work or look presentable, but not so professional? That is where choosing the right outfit comes into play.
I purchased this green dress from Nordstrom Rack about a month ago. I feel like it is appropriate for work if you wear tights/leggings underneath, like I did. It would also look great with a pair of heels. I like staying comfy when I go to work so I opted out. I sometimes plan things with my girlfriends after work or with my boyfriend, but I don’t want to change my outfit completely. It can be a hassle.. trust me!
What I ended up doing with this outfit is taking off my leggings/tights and instead putting on my denim jacket from OOTDFash and pairing it with some cute booties. I love these booties that my boyfriend gave me as gift, he knows my style! Now, I am able to go out without looking so professional or like I just got off work.
If you don’t follow me on Instagram, then you probably hadn’t noticed that I have a discount code with OOTDFash. If you like my jacket, go ahead and check it out here and use my discount code: PATTYG15 at check out for 15% off.

The Comfiest Cardigan
Top: Target
Cardigan: Nordstrom
Jeans: Old Navy
Booties: Charlotte RusseI decided to head to Yerington this weekend because I needed a little break and our water heater was broken. We ended up boiling some water in order to be able to shower, just like the good old Mexico days when my parents would take us. I had a great weekend with one of my friends and decided to make the most of the few night locations in Yerington. If you have ever been there before you probably have made the conclusion that there is not much to do, but that was the point when we were younger. It gave all of us a creative mind to think of things to do.
Anyways, this outfit is from the prior week but I decided to share it with you all. I received this cardigan about two weeks ago and decided it was time to take off the tag and put it to use. I purchased it on major sale from Nordstrom. I checked on their website and they only have the blue one in stock, so instead I linked a similar one down below in the slideshow. I decided to pair it with this long sleeve top that I purchased awhile ago from Old Navy. I love shopping at Old Navy, but I tried finding the similar one that I am wearing and couldn’t seem to find it. However, I did decide to link a similar one to the post.
I was debating to wear my neutral toned booties or these burgundy ones. I decided to go ahead with the burgundy pair to match the shirt a little more. I purchased my booties from Charlotte Russe and if you have been following me for awhile you know I shop a lot there. I just love finding different styles for booties and Charlotte Russe has them. Today they have a 20%-50% off sale on their entire website, go check it out!

Fitted Plaid Top
Outfit Details:
Jacket: H&M (similar) // Top: Hollister (similar options) // Jeans: Express // Shoes: Sperry (similar ones) // Bag: Forever 21 (similar)
One of the many things I strive for is making myself comfortable in anything I wear. This outfit is perfect for running errands on the weekend or any day that you don’t feel like getting ready. I purchased this Hollister top over 6 months ago and never got around to wearing it. I was heading out to pick up some items at Home Depot because we are in the process of remodeling our home. I am so excited and I will keep you updated here on the blog.
My jeans are the comfiest jeans I’ve ever purchased. I love jeans from Express, or let me clarify, jeggings. They are fitted but at the same time stretchy. I usually purchase mine from the Express Outlet store, but I linked some from the Express website that are very similar. As for my shoes they are old, but I found some similar ones from Sperry. I love combing patterns with pops of color. I know it can be a little intimidating purchasing shoes that stand out, but they can be very versatile if paired with the right tops.
In other news, I also wanted to share with you my recent upload on YouTube. I created a get ready with me video that included details on my makeup, hair, and outfit. I personally find these videos very helpful because you are able to see how I style from head to toe a certain look. Please let me know what you guys think by leaving a comment on my video here or click on the video down below.

I have been purchasing some items recently for the new season and have been loving the sales. Today, Nordstrom had a 40% off sale and I was tempted on picking up a couple more pieces, but decided to hold off until I receive the items I linked in this post. We are still having cold weather here in Reno, NV, since it has been raining almost every day. I will have to wait a little longer to wear some of these pieces.
I did want to mention some shoes that have been trending this past year and even this year. The original Chloe Lauren Wedge is around $660. I had been on the lookout for some dupes, and had been super close to purchasing them, but I never completed my purchase. However, I finally got around to purchasing them and I’m so excited for them. They were only $60, and I picked up two in the color Taupe and Cognac.
I also wanted to share some of my tips on transitioning to spring. I know we have about one month left of winter, so I figured this would be the perfect time. Similar to fall, it is easier to wear neutral shoes and combine them with different colored tops. This way, you don’t have to worry so much about finding the perfect shoe to fit the rest of your outfit.
It is also still important to keep some of your thinner cardigans during the transition. Reno can still get chilly during spring so I always like to keep my cardigans as a layer. As for tops, I still like using some of my thinner long sleeves because they won’t be too cold or too hot during the spring. It can be hard purchasing a whole new wardrobe each season, but I always try to purchase more tops rather than more bottoms. They are cheaper and you can always mix and match with bottoms.
Once the weather gets nicer I will start posting some spring outfits. Please check out and follow my Instagram.

A Pop of Color
Sweater // Jeans // Crossbody bag // Booties
Hello,
If there is one thing that is hard to pull off it’s colored shoes. We always tend to gravitate towards the black and the white but it so fun to add a little twist to your wardrobe. I love booties and I love the wine/burgundy colors so when I came across these booties I knew I had to have them. Amiclubwear has super affordable shoes the only thing that is costly (is their shipping). The easiest way to pull off a pop of color is to keep everything else neutral. I went ahead and paired these booties with a sweater and some ripped jeans, and love how it turned out. My boyfriend was super skeptical about my shoes and thought they wouldn’t look good… aha! but after I put together the outfit he loved them.
Valentine’s day is approaching, I’m working on putting together a blog post/video for you guys. Make sure to follow my social media (check the sidebar) for more updates!
xoxo,
Patty G.
