Heading into Fall

I guess between cleaning out my closet and the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, I have fall's cooler temps and beautiful scenery on my mind. I'm hoping with August comes milder weather and more time outside (football here we come!).

I fell in love with this new J. Crew sweater when I saw it in their most recent catalog and was delighted when it was on sale (with an additional 40% off with code STYLE40) already. To be honest, I'm not sure why, but I immediately ordered it, knowing I'd wear it to death in all of the colors. I state my confusion because I'm usually the ~~cheap ass~~ one waiting for everything to go on sale AFTER the season is over. This time it seems to have worked out in my favor.

I love colder weather, but enjoy it even more when I'm comfortable. This sweater is going to get me through these in-between temps and more. I plan on wearing it now with shorts, ankle pants, and a skirt or two. Later, pairing it with jeans, scarves, and boots. OH, I'm so ready.

Look4Less: Swiss Dots

I'll be honest, this edition of L4L is a close one. Each blouse below varies in price depending on what discount is currently running, so one day they might be vastly different, but other days could be a matter of dollars. Either way, they are both reasonable!

The Old Navy version is quite similar to the J. Crew one I've had my eye on for awhile. I have not seen the ON one in person, but I can assure you, the J. Crew one is a beauty. Perfect to dress up or down, tuck in or leave out, it's a great layering piece. Swiss dots always grab my attention. It's a texture I just can't get enough of and is perfect for mixing. I just have to decide what color I want...

Spring Uniform

After being in Florida this weekend, I think I'm officially ready for spring...or at least chilly weather with the sun shining on you. I love cold weather, but nothing beats cold weather when the sun is out. I've been going through my closet looking for outfit ideas [a little tougher than usual because my closets keep collapsing from the weight...oops] and I keep mentally dressing myself in clothes more appropriate for the spring time temperatures. I currently have a notepad full of outfit ideas sitting on my desk at work. I would freeze to death if I tried to wear any of them now without a heavy layer, but where's the fun in that? All I know is that as soon as the temperatures get a little warmer, I'll be wearing all of my cotton shift dresses with a chambray shirt underneath, booties, a statement necklace, and probably some type of vest. Easy as a prostitute.

Outfit Inspiration

I saw one of my dear friends, Lauren Conrad, wearing this simple, feminine outfit the other week and I thought, "That is so perfect for a dinner date, and if I'm lucky, with friends and if I'm luckier, with a person of the opposite sex." So naturally, I wanted to recreate it and show you all...if for nothing else, to prove that I have the potential to clean up nicely...just in case it's you that asks me out to dinner.

Cap Toes

I'm not sure if I would label cap toe shoes, especially flats, a trend. I'm not saying they're not insanely popular right now [as they should be], but rather that these are yet again a classic design that gets amped up in colors of the moment as opposed to being "brought back" or a "revival." Cap toes will always be a sartorial staple to me, even though I will venture to say I may not own the ones that started it all anytime soon. Nonetheless, I appreciate all the new and exciting variations to this ever lasting style. I most recently purchased this version from Old Navy in a neon yellow color that apparently has since sold out. There are enough variations for you to find something that works with your closet though. Good luck hunting!

[I would like to take a second to say THANK YOU to my beautiful friends Lindsey from Teach Chic, Laura, and Tippi. Because of your gracious birthday presents, I am now the proud owner of this shirt that I professed my love for yesterday, this absolutely adorable dress, and perfect top!!!]
