How To Dress Up A Chunky Sweater

livvyland-blog-olivia-watson-austin-texas-fashion-blogger-mauve-blush-sweater-white-denim-peep-toe-booties-fall-outfit-idea-8Hey ladies – happy Halloween! I hope your week is off to a great start and you’re indulging in aaaall the candy today. 😉 Blake and I are excited to go trick or treating with my niece and nephew for a bit, then head home and pass out candy in our neighborhood…it’s our first Halloween in the new house…kind of a milestone, right? Ready to meet some more neighbors and see all the cute kiddos in their costumes – big day ahead!

As y’all know, sweaters are probably my favorite wardrobe piece when it comes to fall and winter wardrobes. They’re ultra cozy, flattering and can be dressed up or down. Normally when you think of a chunky sweater, it’s paired with jeans and cool sneakers or flats…so today I’m excited to style the cuuuutest sweater in a more dressed up way!

Sweater Weather

livvyland-blog-olivia-watson-mauve-mock-neck-sweater-levis-501-jeans-urban-outfitters-fortress-of-inca-tan-leather-slides-5Hey friends! How’s your week going? Things have been busy but good in my world – my best friend Elissa is still in town and so we’ve been spending tons of time together (yay!) and yesterday took my niece and nephew on a little play date to an inflatable jump gym. The place is HUGE and we were literally the only people there…soooo of course Liss and I kicked off our shoes and jumped around (and sweat a LOT…and realized we are old and our bodies aren’t as agile as they once were haha) for over an hour. It was sooo fun! I miss being a kid…so carefree and easy. Adulthood is weird, ha! Anyhoo, after stuffing our faces with concession stand treats (ice cream, Cheetos, candy, gatorade), Elissa and I were pretty much zombies while the kiddos danced to the Trolls soundtrack on the ride home. Needless to say, it was a great day – always so thankful for quality time with my family and friends…social media is cool and all, but it’s the real life stuff that matters!

Aaand now for my outfit details… 😉 I am forever failing at a solid transition from life to “okay let’s talk about this sweater”…ya know? Ha, doing my best over here! (But seriously…this sweater is SO GOOD!).

The Perfect Fall Floral Dress (40% Off!)

Happy Saturday, friends! Hope your weekend is off to a great start. 🙂 Blake and I are enjoying ACL festival this weekend (Jay-Z killed it last night!) and excited to take on day two today. I am a granny so am only going Friday/Saturday…can’t hang like I used to…ha! This year has been particularly special for a couple of reasons…reason one is that I’m partnering with TicketCity for the fest and living the VIP life (first time for me…free food + drinks/swag bags, beauty stations (how cool is that?!) and lots of shade and air conditioning…no complaints here! 😉 Reason two is that I’ve realized I’m not quite the festival gal I thought I was and am now hanging with the parents that bring lawn chairs and sit waaaay in the back haha. It was 8pm last night and I legit thought it was 11pm…who have I become?! I watched all the college kids dancing their butts off to DJ sets (glitter in their hair, on their faces) and I slowly but surely came to terms with the fact that I am getting older…and I fully embrace it. I got home completely sober and watched an episode of RHONY (current guilty pleasure). ACL by day, sweatpants and fully hydrated + catching up on my shows by night…life is good at age 27!

Cozy In Cashmere

livvyland-blog-olivia-watson-free-people-vegan-leather-mini-skirt-cashmere-tan-sweater-sezane-studded-bucket-bag-9A cold front hit Austin this morning and ohhh my goodness I could not be more grateful! I went for a long walk this morning to clear my head and soak up the gorgeous, crisp weather and felt revived as soon as I got home. Nothing like a true season change to bring some positive juju and make me feel inspired and motivated. I hope y’all are having a great start to your week, too!

One of my favorite color combinations at the moment is black and tan. I know I know, 2016 Olivia would have been terrified to wear so much black (always been my constant struggle!), but 2017 Olivia has finally gotten into a rhythm of incorporating more black pieces…and I must admit, I am LOVING it! Chic and timeless, you can’t go wrong investing in black staples to build your wardrobe. Aaand speaking of fall staples: this ultra cozy cashmere sweater (under $100!).

Floral Jumpsuit

livvyland-blog-olivia-watson-austin-texas-fashion-blogger-floral-jumpsuit-free-people-black-leather-jacket-8Happy weekend, loves! Any big plans on the agenda? Blake and I celebrated his cousin’s 50th birthday with a giant shindig last night and we had so much fun! It was “decade” themed – so guests wore costumes from any decade between the 70s-90s…everyone got decked out! Blake went as 1970s John McEnroe and I dressed as 70s tennis pro Chrissie Evert…wigs, sweatbands, tube socks…we went full-on major dork mode (…the best!). Anyhoo, it’s currently 6pm and I am still recovering from my hangover (…if that’s any indication of a reaaaally solid night haha) and sore from all the dancing! Blake literally had to drag me off the dance floor and to our car…get some tequila in me and apparently I go from calm granny to crazy party girl…ha!

Hey gals! How’s your week going? I’ve been battling a serious case of the flu the last couple of days and thus, been in a bit of zombie-mode. Sleeping a lot, drinking tons of fluids and watching too much Real Housewives (…seriously someone stop me….it’s getting out of hand, ha!). This morning I felt well enough to edit some outfit photos from the weekend and I’m excited to share a go-to fall uniform (…and head-to-toe neutrals look) featuring a killer pair of ankle booties (and a fun red pair further into this post…).

Coziest Fall Sweater

livvyland-blog-olivia-watson-austin-texas-fashion-blogger-free-people-oversize-striped-sweater-boho-chic-3
Happy first day of October! Hope y’all are soaking up some lovely weather (it is absolutely stunning today in Austin!) and relaxing this weekend. After a crazy few weeks of travel (Amsterdam, Iceland, New York & Los Angeles…wowza!), I am so thankful to be home and resting. I had an absolute blast visiting friends and creating some amazing memories, but I can definitely tell my body needs some sleep and lounge time without an agenda. Thus, this weekend was spent being a complete couch potato and I have zero complaints about it! 😉

That said, I’m keeping it extra short & sweet today! Sharing all my outfit details below…(this sweater = magical!!).
