The calendar says Fall, but the weather outside is definitely still in transition mode. Transitioning seasons is all about mixing pieces from both the past and upcoming season. For today’s look, I paired a perfect for spring and summer kimono with my favorite fall booties. I picked up this lightweight kimono last week from the Dao Chloe Dao Boutique in Houston. First off, if you are in Houston, you need to check this place out. The boutique features Chloe’s amazing and beautiful designs, as well as more affordably priced items hand-picked by Chloe. I have been a fan of hers since Project Runway, and love seeing her shows at Fashion Houston. I love her style and always leave her store with some fun new pieces. My favorite thing about this kimono is the color scheme. The colors are a great earth tone for fall, but are on the lighter side which is perfect for spring and summer too. In summer, I would definitely pair this with some shorts and a tank top. I managed to find the exact one at an online boutique and linked it above. I also shared some more kimonos that I think our perfect for transitional weather in the little widget below. For fall, I am all about pairing kimonos with a simple tee and booties! These booties are last season, but I linked a near identical pair that cost way less than mine! When the weather is even cooler, kimonos can also be paired with skinny jeans and riding boots. If you want to go for a full 70s vibe, pair it with flared jeans instead of skinny jeans. Thanks for stopping by the blog this week, and Happy Friday!!!

Happy First Day of Fall!! Okay, in Texas we are still about a month away from cool fall weather, but I figured I can still celebrate on the blog! When I first laid eyes on this scarf from Manoosh, I thought of this maroon dress. I love how the color palette of the scarf works with the wine color of the dress. Plus, the scarf is called Autumnscape, I mean it was meant for the first day of Autumn! I have mentioned Manoosh scarves before in this post. All of their scarves are based on abstract artwork. I always enjoy finding unique pieces, and these scarves definitely fit the one of a kind feel. Plaid and solid color scarves will be taking over soon, and I love that these Manoosh scarves have a different look to them. I was drawn to the earthy tones in this particular one, but their fall collection has even more pretty color options. These brown boots are a few years old and have some definite wear and tear on them, but they definitely come back to life with this earth-toned ensemble. I linked a similar pair for ya’ll above. Happy Wednesday and Happy Fall! Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

And so another work week begins…
I probably wear my most girlboss outfits on Mondays. Monday sets the tone for how the whole work week will go. I always feel like if my outfit says “Let’s do this,” then I will feel more ready to tackle the day ahead. Peplum tops are a favorite of mine for their versatility. I often pair them with pencil skirts for the office for that conquer the day look. On weekends, I will toss this top on with skinny jeans, heels and a cute clutch (HOW CUTE IS THIS ONE) for a casual dressy look for dinner or drinks. I like the high neck of this one because it works really well with bib statement necklaces like this one from Gorjana. I also pair this top with my Baublebar bib necklace for a more dramatic look when I wear with jeans. I have had this one for a few years, but I linked some similar tops. This is definitely a top style to have in multiple colors. I think I might need a black one soon!! Happy Monday Ya’ll! May your coffee be strong and your Monday be short!

I read this post on Instagram the other day that said something like, I’m ready for cool fall temps, but once they get here I’m like I can’t wait for spring. That post was so me! Every year in September I am so ready for fall weather so I can start wearing all my fabulous fall fashion items, but after a few weeks I start to miss my dresses and wedges. If I had to pick my favorite look for fall, this is it! I love long tunics with skinny jeans and boots. This olive color is perfect for fall and will work perfect under a tan jacket this winter. Ya’ll these boots are officially back on sale for under $140! I haven’t had the chance to wear them outside of blog photos, but they area really comfortable. I like that they have room to tuck in my jeans. If you have a wider calf, they also come in a wide-calf version too. I am already trying to find ways to style these boots with some dresses, so I can start wearing on our next cool day. I originally tried them on with a dress, so I know they will be super cute with one.
My poor little pup had to have dental surgery yesterday to have her chipped tooth fixed. My plans this weekend are for lots of cuddles as she recovers and as we celebrate her 4th Birthday. I know she is going to love that she gets to eat nothing but wet food for a whole week while her stitches heal. We only feed her wet food on special occasions or when she has been a really good puppy. When we give it to her, it is like nothing else exists while she eats. Happy Friday Ya’ll and thanks for stopping by the blog this week!
