We have been wearing our Spanx faux leather leggings for a couple years now, and since they are (or yourself), we thought we would share 4 way to style them! For reference, we have size xs regular, and size s petite in the leggings. If you don’t own a pair of them, you should because they wear so well and suck you in all the right places.
This is one of our go to cozy looks for fall and winter. Pair a soft cardigan with the same leggings, a black tee, and a choice of three shoes: embroidered mules, leopard flats, or some sneakers.
Another cozy and comfy look! Wear a puffer vest over a grey turtleneck sweater with the leggings and some hiker boots. We love a black beanie and black bag to add an edgy vibe.
Happy holiday shopping! Sharing our first of MANY gift guides to come. You all said you wanted to see lots of gift ideas, so we will keep them coming!

#3 SILK HAIR TIES: same brand as the silk pillowcase and these don’t dent your hair!
November is finally here tomorrow, and can’t believe that means holiday shopping and Thanksgiving is around the corner. We wanted to share four different outfit ideas for Thanksgiving, and the holidays, that you can wear and feel comfortable and cute in! We gave a mix of casual and dressier so you have some options. Also, see below for some more ideas!
Can’t believe it is almost halloween, and NOVEMBER! Time is flying by! That means, you all will be looking for comfy, but cute outfits for Thanksgiving coming up. This outfit is actually perfect for it because it is neutral and dressy casual, if that makes sense!
We love that this satchel bag can be worn on your arm, shoulder, or crossbody! It also goes with everything, as do these great booties. They are more pointed in the front, so they are more flattering on your figure. We have size 7 in these booties for reference.
In addition to this outfit, I wanted to share some things I learned this month, since yes, we are allll always learning, right? I am sure some will resonate with you!
Try new things, even if you don’t want to
I struggle with this a lot. Most of the time, I pretty much know what I like and don’t like, but it is good to be willing to try new things, even if you are 99% sure you won’t like them. For me, it’s been saying yes to activities, food and drinks that I wouldn’t typically eat often, and going out with friends for drinks. You may not love it, but at least you tried it, right?
Be open to what life brings you
Life is crazy and works in mysterious ways. That’s the tough (and also cool) part about life. You have no idea what is coming, so you just have to roll with it and take on each day and what it has to bring. I am such a planner, so this is a tough one, but it is kind of cool to know you have no idea what is to come, good or bad!
Lean on friends and family
In the last year, I feel like I have grown in a lot of ways emotionally. I know 100% that I couldn’t have done that without leaning on my friends and family. I see my friends often and really open up to them about my thoughts and feelings, and obviously, with my family as well. It feels good to open up to people you’re close with.
Be patient
I have probably written about my lack of patience wayyy too much, haha. Really, I am so impatient, and it is kind of a problem, but I am learning to work on it. I would be lying to you if I told you I don’t want to find “my person” and be in a serious relationship, but I also want it to be the right person, so I am learning to be patient and focus on other areas of my life, and that will come.
Listen more, and talk less
I feel like so many of us feel like we need to always have something to say in a conversation, when really, sometimes we just need to listen. A lot of times that is all someone wants. You just need a good venting session sometimes, am I right?
Is this not the perfect outfit for all of the holidays coming up?! It is almost November, aka holiday season, so we are all going to be looking for holiday outfits for Thanksgiving and other holidays. We love this ivory tunic sweater because you can wear it with leggings, like these faux leather Spanx leggings. By the way, if you don’t own these leggings already, you NEED to get some.
For reference in the leggings, we have size xs in the regular length, and size s in the petite length. They really are great quality and worth the price!
And, while we are on the topic of fall and holiday outfits, we wanted to share some of our favorite neutral lip shades for the holidays, or really any time of year!
We found this fall and holiday look all from Nordstrom. We love shopping there, especially online because they make it SO easy. We love that they have free shipping and returns, which is so helpful for the upcoming holiday shopping we are all about to get started on!
