My Desk To Date Night Outfit Formula + It’s All 40% Off

Well, hello! It feels like it’s been ages since I’ve shared an outfit with you all on the blog [because it has been ages!] and it feels really good to be back in my little corner of the internet. We have certainly entered a new era of Black Friday and that is that the sales launch so much earlier than they used to! It’s been like this for a few years now and I can’t decide how I feel about it. As a content creator, I hate it, ha! It requires prep to start so much earlier so that you’re actually be on top of sharing when things go live but, it’s really no secret that I’m slowly but surely growing out of how I used to do things from a style influencer perspective. But then, from a personal perspective, I absolutely love it! It really encourages you to get your shopping done before the holidays really even fully ‘start’ so, then you can actually enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday with family without worrying about something selling out. The ‘rush’ was never really that fun to me anyway so I’m glad that things roll out a little more nonchalantly. What are your thoughts??

Okay, let’s get into what I am excited to share with you today!

Do you remember White House Black Market? In college, whenever I’d pass that store at my local mall, the ‘Town Center’, I’d always think ‘wow, the ladies who shop there must be so classy’. Ha! It’s funny to think back on that recollection now but, truthfully, as I was perusing their new arrivals a few weeks ago, they’re just as classy now as they were then. So, I thought I’d share a look that you could easily take from day to night with absolutely no problem!

Here were a few things that stood out to me and, take note, everything is 40% off:

There are so many pieces that would be absolutely stunning for a holiday party, a year end get together, or just your bi-weekly rotation for the office.

WHBM High-Rise Flat Front Trousers [40% off] • WHBM Cropped Tweed Lady Jacket [40% off] • ME+EM Ruffle Neck Tank, layered underneath Lady Jacket, old [similar option 40% off] • Paris/64 Mini Handbag [*15% off] • Gianvito Rossi Piper Pumps [currently 30% off] • Jennifer Behr Caryann Earrings [also here] • Michael Kors Micro Georgie Watch • Monica Vinader Friendship Bracelet • Christian Dior Pearl Bracelet [similar on sale]

Please take note that so many of the pieces in this outfit are on sale. White House Black Market is currently offering 40% off for Black Friday and most other items in the outfit, while not from WHBM, are also generously discounted. I absolutely cannot believe these cognac suede pumps by [the best shoe designer] Gianvito Rossi are marked down by 30%. That does not happen often!

Here are the three pieces I’m styling:

High-Rise Flat Front Trousers — the anchor of the outfit and honestly the kind of staple that makes your whole closet feel more elevated and expensive.

Cropped Tweed Lady Jacket — adds polish and structure without feeling stiff.

Ruffle Neck Top — this is one of those pieces that gives this outfit, and many others, added interest & I love it.

White House Black Market has so many other cute pieces to consider this holiday season. I’ll direct you to take a look at this ShopMy Shelf that I put together with all of the items that I was considering when I placed my order recently. This long-sleeve lace top is at the top of my list. It’s so cute! And, this black dress with sequin frilly’s is adorable for a holiday party.

So, if you’re in the mood to refresh a few things for the season, this is a really good brand to check in with right now — classic in the best way, and perfect for the “busy calendar” stretch we’re heading into.

And now I want to hear from you: are you enjoying the earlier Black Friday rollout, or does it still feel a little chaotic?
