The Velvet Edit
Blazer: Ann Taylor (old, new version here) // Dress: Amazon (comes in so many colors) // Purse: TJ Maxx find // Shoes: Jessica Simpson Collection // Earrings: Kendra Scott
Is there anything more luxurious than the soft thick texture of velvet? I think not! As soon as cooler temperatures hit, I bust out velvet time and time again. I love how classic it feels and immediately dress up almost any outfit! I shared a round-up of my favorite holiday dresses earlier this week but thought velvet needed its own post so it could sit front and center. I recently ordered this beautiful skater-style fit and flare dress from Amazon. It is super affordable and comes in so many colors! I opted for a soft champagne shade that could transition from the holidays over to NYE. I paired it with a velvet blazer I’ve had for years and simple black patent heels. A tiny beaded handbag is just the right touch to store your cell phone and lipstick.
I was lucky enough to shoot with a good friend of mine Jaime Waters at one of the top hotels in Texas. The George is incredible and I come here often to eat at Porter’s Steakhouse. We decided it would be fun to shoot in the courtyard and at The Canteen Bar and Grill. This whole property sits right across the street from Texas A&M University and is the best spot for shopping, dining, and entertainment. The George is a boutique hotel perfect for a weekend trip or staycation. Also, if you are in town and want to book photos - Jaime is incredible to work with. We’ve done a lot of work together over the past few years and I highly recommend her!
