Fall Whimsy

I was messing around on Polyvore to create a Fall outfit for Roxy of Effortless Anthropolgie's "Show Your Style Challenge". While creating the outfit I was looking for pieces that can easily transition from Summer to Fall. This Midi skirt from Anthro is a Summer staple, but with cozy layers in warm Fall colors you can take this skirt from one season to the next!

Be sure to check out the challenge and enter yourself! Effortless Anthropologie is a very fun blog, and Roxy is a very smart character who is always informative.

Mom Shorts

We are all very familiar with the "Mom Jean". We also have our opinions about it. Known as the man repeller, I personally think that there are a few lucky bodies (and booties) out there that can pull off a "mom jean" and look fabulous. I unfortunately am not one of those lucky few, so in come the "mom shorts". Literally, these are my mother's shorts. I got them hemmed a bit shorter and threw on a belt, and voila! I'm lucky to have a mom that doesn't throw anything away because I always find something I want whenever I visit. I threw on a comfy soft shirt and a bold cardigan (do you see a rust pattern yet?) to complete the easy casual look.

Cropped

My days in LA are coming to an end and I'm a little sad. Leaving here means going back to the grind, and I so do not like the grind. It also means going back to the cold. Will the mist in SF ever come to an end?!?!

This top is new and I am such a fan of it's classic feel with an edge. While it is a button down t-shirt, it's cropped in the front, long in the back, and it's a great standout rust color. I'm in love. This makes getting dressed so simple.

Peacock Punch

I have to say that the past week and half that I've spent enjoying the sunshine has been Ah-mayyy-zing!!! My skin needed Vitamin D desperately. Wearing shorts, dresses, and lightweight tops has been so wonderful, I'm a little sad I have to go back to foggy, misty San Francisco soon. All good things must come to an end...

This little number is very bright, I know, but I felt it was appropriate since it's been so beautiful! The dress is an oldie but goodie, and the shoes are new thanks to my mama :) I love mixing plum and mustard. Any purple and yellow combo is perfect in my eyes.

Monochromatic

This outfit is probably one of my favorites. It's not anything special, this I will admit to, but for some reason I just feel that good in it. Maybe because I get to wear my lazy day shirt out. The big boxy t-shirt and the high waisted shorts carry a certain simple and chic essence about them. When I put them together I feel laid-back, super comfy, and I know I look put together, especially with the accessories piled on. It's a monochromatic look but I broke up the colors with a thin peach toned patent belt which I think helped bring a little dimension to the outfit.

Ethnic Florals

Today I felt like wearing something super breezy and lightweight to fight the heat. I also wanted to wear my new flea market finds. This outfit came to mind. The top is as breezy as the skirt is airy. I also saw an opportunity to experiment with more prints, and I think this combo looks great. The floral water color print seemed neutral enough to handle the bold ethnic print of the top without clashing or losing it's presence. Then I topped it off with my new finds :)
