Sparkle and Shine in West Texas
Dress: Forever 21 // Boots: Target // Necklace: Park Lane
Yesterday I took a drive from where I live in College Station, TX to Abilene. It was by far the most uneventful 5 hours of my life, but I was able to catch sunset last night and sunrise this morning - both of which were breathtaking. The sky is so big out here with nothing to block the view. I got into town and immediately scouted the surrounding areas. I came across the prettiest park near Kirby Lake and stopped there for a few minutes. One of the things I immediately noticed when I got here was that people were taking life slower. I watched two people fishing in a pond at dusk. Another part of my evening included eating at the local Galveston Seafood Company and my meal was just a hair slower (great service and delicious!) People around here stop and talk to you. So different that the days I work in Houston.
For the past few days I’ve really kicked my outfits up a notch. It’s the last week of the year and around the 20th I decided to wear my best. I found this dress the other day when I was finishing some Christmas shopping and thought it was the perfect holiday staple for my closet. I can see it being equally cute if I swapped out pumps for the boots. I love the soft champagne color and the whole thing was on sale for under $20. What a steal.
Now that I’m out here I see the necessity of boots. It’s pretty dusty no matter where you step. I brought a pair of boots to wear while I’m up here in and in Abilene. Today I’m heading out of Abilene and towards the Amarillo area. The next few days are packed with outdoor areas and then I’m heading up even more north. Super excited about the whole week and can’t wait to share more adventures this week as we close out the year.
