H&M Blazer, H&M Top (old), New York and Company Jeans, DSW Heels, Watch was a gift

I am a firm believer that a blazer can completely transform an outfit. This outfit started as a jeans-and-tee combo, but with a slouchy blazer, it becomes polished without sacrificing comfort. These heels are some of my favorites, and I hadn’t worn them in a while, so I added them to the mix for an edgy touch.

Spring in Your Step

boots

I love so many things about fall, and one that tops the list has to be the shoes. Lots of open-toe pairs can transition into September with tights, and heels are acceptable all year round. The thing that gets me is the boots. I have a slight addiction – boots in all colors and ages and styles and heights! I love that there are endless possibilities with boots – there’s riding, combat, ankle, cowboy, stiletto, mid-calf, furry…the list goes on. Not to mention they go with everything, from your favorite jeans to a cute mini to a casual dress. My favorite combo is over-the-knee boots with an above-the-knee, high-waisted skirt: it eliminates the need for tights and still looks cute. These are my top picks from the shoe parade.

Vintage Charm

Vintage Top, Forever 21 Shorts, Sandals from DSW, Vintage Necklaces

I recently found a bunch of gorgeous vintage jewelry that I can’t wait to sprinkle over my outfits. These two pendant necklaces are simple enough that I thought it was appropriate to layer them. I’m also not usually one for crop tops, but this light and airy vintage one is just long enough that it meets in the middle with what is probably my favorite pair of shorts. I’m ready for the weather to cool down, but sadly my fall clothes will have to wait a bit longer.

Trend Spotting: Rose-Colored Glasses

red

This season, the color red was huge – particularly in the dress department. While a solid red dress is almost always appropriate when it’s time to dress up, looking like a tube of lipstick every day is maybe more than a bit too much. Instead, try mixing pops of red into a neutral outfit to make an impact – above are some of my latest cherry-hued finds.

Accessory Spy

accessoriesOne of my favorite things when it comes to fashion is a nice piece of statement jewelry. Spring brought with it the statement earring trend (which I am still fully embracing), but a chunky cuff bracelet or classic statement necklace still packs the same punch. I was very happy to see this fall that statement accessories are still in, and very abundant at that. Here are my top picks for the coming months. A big bonus? Everything is under $30!
