This week was full of mostly traveling outfits. I headed out on a trip through Texas for The Paleo Kitchen to do a couple book signings and try lots of restaurants. You can see all the food I shoved in my face here. The signings meant I wore A LOT more make up then I usually do and dressed in skirts I can barely walk in. It was lovely. Especially in 103 degree weather. Thankfully everywhere in Texas is air conditioned like a motha effa.
Anywho, not only am I sharing outfits with you today but I’m also sharing with you a giveaway for my new favorite bag line. It’s called Kelly Moore and I’ve teamed up with them to give away one free bag of choice, a $249 value! Not only are their bags incredibly stylist but they also are super versatile and can store your laptop, your camera, and really anything else you want! Sign up below!

This outfit was put together for a sushi date night at Ifish before I headed out to Texas. It’s our second favorite sushi place in town, after Izakaya Den, but it’s a lot closer to our house.

- Black shorts: Pink’s Boutique for $20.00
- Flowy top: Starlet Boutique for $30.00

Once I landed in Dallas, I headed out to lunch with Jenni and Ben from The Urban Poser. It was stupid hot in Texas BUT everywhere you walk in is just like walking into a cooler, so I packed a little sweater with me everywhere I went.

- Yellow zipper clutch from Common Threads for $20
This outfit was for my signing in Dallas at Half Price Books. Even though pencil skirts are hard to walk in, I still LOVE them. They hug in all the right places.

- Small gold rings from Francesca’s for $10
This was probably my favorite outfit of the entire trip. Even though I was dripping sweat everywhere because the AC broke during our event at CrossFit Central, literally dripping sweat down the back of my legs and having the catch my boob sweat in the bottom of my crop top, I STILL loved it. Once I found this top at NastyGal, I knew I wanted to pair it with a pop of turquoise color because I absolutely love color and turquoise together.
- Zeal of Approval Heel from from ModCloth with bows on the back, by Qupid for $43 (here is a similar pair as well)
- Black high waisted skirt from Express for $70 (used a coupon to get $25 off – PS their coupons are awesome!)

- Turquoise earrings from Francesca’s for $15
- Gold bracelets from Francesca’s for $14 each
- Gold rings from Francesca’s for $10
- Coral Bracelet from Hailee Grace Boutique for $12
This was my last outfit of the trip, that I wore at Blue Willow Bookshop. I wanted to wear a dress since I wore two black skirts in a row, but the only dresses I was finding that I really liked were around $300. And ain’t nobody got time for that. Meaning me. And time meaning money. So I found this orange straight dress from H&M for super cheap. It’s not my favorite and I probably won’t wear it again, but it did the trick for that day.
- Open toe booties from Nordstrom Rack by Vince Camuto for $70
- Orange dress from H&M for $25
- Necklace from H&M for $20
- Spiral ring from H&M for $10
- Silver diamond ring from Stitch and Stone for $20

A beautiful mess! In Kelly Green please please please 🙂
The Libby in Orange please!!
Love the Kelly Boy bag in Caramel. Always seem to have too many items for just a purse, so this would be a great dual purpose bag for me.
I want to win! I need a new bag, and these bags look awesome!
Oooh I love the Chapel! Gotta have it.
The Dark Brown bag suits me the best! Thanks for this opportunity!
No question, no doubt the Esther bag rocks!
what do you usually order at ifish? i love it but have not yet been since transitioning to paleo. also, i think the orange dress is so cute on you! definitely wear again!!
I always get regular sushi there (can’t remember what the rolls are called) because my stomach feels just fine with rice!
Oh my gosh Juli, I LOVE your style!! And your budget friendliness!! I am all about being stylish on a budget and you seemed to have pulled that off spectacularly. I will definitely look forward to more of these posts! And of course I’m always here for the food… haha!! Keep up the awesome work!!
