Warm knitted sweaters and coffee with besties…these are a few of my favorite things. Today I’m so excited to take a break from all of the Cyber Week sale madness to share this fun feature I got to shoot with one of my besties who also happens to be a blogger babe, Olivia from Livvyland. A quick disclaimer though:  our entire outfits do happen to be on major sale due to the amazing sale happening at Express right now, so if you’re in need of some cozy new sweaters, now is definitely the time to buy!

While I’ve met lots of amazing bloggers since starting my blog two and a half years ago, Olivia and I actually knew each other before we began our bloggy blog lives. In fact, we both decided to start our blogs at the same time while we were working together at Kendra Scott. I seriously don’t know what I would have done if not for her support at the beginning, and still to this day, she is my go-to when I need some encouragement or simply need a vent sesh in this amazing-but-also-crazy profession of blogging.

Something I’ve learned since I went full-time with my blog just over a year ago is the importance of taking time off to have some girl time. Whether you’re running a blog or a bakery, having your own business means after-hours and weekends don’t really exist, so in order to keep your sanity (especially during the craziness of the holidays season!), it’s so important to make time with your gal pals a priority. For this shoot, we decided to do just that: a besties coffee date at the most darling spot in Austin to grab coffee and a few pastries, Elizabeth Street Cafe.

Now back to our outfits. Express is one of my go-to’s when it comes to finding classics and basics at amazing prices, and what’s even better, they’re currently running a sale featuring up to 50% off everything online. The cozy knit sweaters and jeans/pants combinations Olivia and I wore in this shoot are currently 40% off. This off the shoulder light pink beauty was calling my name for reasons that are probably obvious if you’ve followed me for a while. I LOVE anything off-the-shoulder and pink is probably my fave color to wear. The off shoulder sweater is perfectly oversized (it could almost be worn as a dress!) and also comes in black, grey and burgundy color options. I paired the sweater with a pair of dark wash skinny jeans with just the right amount of rips. I love Express jeans (the fit is amazing!) and these are only $47 right now! I topped my outfit off with an ultra cozy and cute pom beanie (just $14 in the sale!)

For Olivia’s look, she opted for this cozy chic knit turtleneck sweater in the perfect neutral hue. She paired these amazing burgundy corduroy leggings (I think I need a pair now too!) Her entire outfit is also 40% off in the Express sale.
