Can't Wait for Fall

After waiting weeks and weeks to finally have an opportunity to wear my new favorite boots, I gave up on the weather and decided to wear them, even though it's still crazy hot outside. I fell in love with these boots about two months ago and was so excited when they arrived on my doorstep. They fit perfectly and I am dying for the temps to drop so I can wear them everyday. Seriously, I may be in them every day.

I also decided to try something a little different and wear a baseball cap with this outfit. I wanted to keep it really simple even with all the bling up top. I always think I look terrible in hats and love how cute they are on everyone else so I scooped this one up while on a work trip a few weeks ago and decided to play with the look. Well, I still think I look stupid in hats but I get an A for effort, right?

Subtle Sparkle

Even though temperatures are still in the low 90s these days, I can't seem to get fall looks off my mind. Because of this, I decided it's finally time to start wearing scarves again, even if I have to sweat a little in the process. I wore this scarf last weekend while heading out with mom to get a quick pedicure before flying out to Utah. It was a perfect outfit to go from spa chair to airplane seat, especially because I always get so cold while flying. Between the light sweater I brought on board and this sparkly scarf, I was perfectly set for the crazy changes in temperature. The only thing I wasn't prepared for: ridiculous flight delays.

Fall Transition

With Labor Day just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about transitioning to fall clothing (yay!) and starting to put the summer clothes back in the closet until next year. One of my favorite pieces of clothing for the cooler months is my J.Crew leather jacket so it should come as no surprise that it's the first thing I am pulling out this year. It is such a great staple for transitioning as it is great for layering and warmth during those cooler nights. A leather jacket and a light scarf scream fall to me and I can't wait to keep wearing this combo as we head into September and October. 

Linking up with Tara today.

Baseball Sweater

I think I bought this baseball sweater at least twelve months ago and this is the first time I have actually pulled it out of my closet. I have always been a huuuge fan of baseball tees but for some reason, I hate the way they look on me. I am not sure if it's the angles or the colors or what-- but I always love them so much more on other people.

Well, this sweater was also not really what I expected when it arrived in the mail, but I kind of love it for the summer. I think I always envisioned it as more of a fall piece, but now that I have paired it with shorts and sandals, I am kinda loving the way it all comes together. Perhaps I should have pulled this out of my closet at the beginning of summer and gotten a few more wears out of it.

That Shirt

Okay, here it is... the one shirt I have been dying to own for years. I know that people rave about Equipment blouses and now I totally understand what all of the hype is about. I think I would have worn this shirt every day for the past week but, letsbehonest, it's silk, and it's rained every. single. day. this week. Ew. Also, I am pretty sure it would have been frowned upon to wear this shirt each day to my 10 year high school reunion we had over the weekend. 

Fourth of July Prep

We are only a little over a week out from my favorite holiday of the year: Fourth of July. It's no secret that I've been stocking up on patriotic gear and this upcoming holiday will not be in short supply of red, white and blue. I am still trying to figure out my plans for the holiday weekend, but at least I know my wardrobe is ready to go. I plan on wearing my stars and stripes up to the beach and Tahoe and then making a plan to see fireworks.

Tonight is my event at Veritas, can't wait to see y'all there!
