Olive Green Tank Top + Rose Gold Aviators
Hello Hello! How’s your week going? Mine has been smooth sailing so far. I’m headed out of town on a long weekend to South Texas, and I am ready for it. We are flying, and I thought it would be really smart to just pack a carry on since it’s such a short trip. I am so not a light packer. The next 2 nights will be filled with some outfit planning and probably a little editing, so I can fit all the things in my little bag. Any tips for flying with just a carry on are appreciated!
Now let’s talk fashion! This outfit is one that I would wear as a summer to fall transitional outfit. We stay in summer time temps through September and sometimes even October. My transitional outfits tend to feature summer pieces like wedges and tank tops, but in fall colors like olive green and brown. I also start pulling out my black skinny jeans just a bit more when September hits. If you want to amp up the fall in this outfit, you can change out my wedges for booties or even a pair of leopard flats. For cooler days, you can add a blue denim jacket to this look.
One color combo I love for the summer to fall transitional time is olive green and rose gold. Rose gold is a great jewelry color to wear year round, but it really shines against fall colors like olive green and burgundy. Over the summer, I added to my rose gold collection with a pair of rose gold aviators. It’s a decently affordable pair with a slightly bigger lens size compared to my other aviator sunglasses. The lens and frames are rose gold, but the lens is mirrored so you can’t really tell in the pics since it’s reflecting the pretty palm trees.
Hope the rest of your week goes well! Thanks for stopping by ya’ll!

Currently Craving: Backpacks
Hello Ladies! Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty low key and relaxing. It was really nice to have a pretty chill Saturday night. We did venture out a little during the day on Saturday. The 100 degree day proved too much for us, and we eventually retreated to the a/c and Netflix.
This past weekend in Texas was Tax Free Weekend. It always happens just before school starts, and you can buy school supplies and clothes tax free. One of my favorite items to buy every school year was a new backpack. Thanks to this school day must have turning into a trendy must have handbag, I can still sport my favorite back to school accessory. I rounded up a few of my top picks for backpacks for fall perfect for work, travel, and weekends.
My top two color choices for me would be black or burgundy. I think both will work well with a variety of outfits and have a professional look. This black one is super similar to my favorite travel backpack by Henri Bendel. It can be worn as both a backpack and crossbody. If you weren’t able to grab the Bendel one before they went out of business, you are in luck with this one! Brown bags are great for casual weekend looks. Both the brown and light pink bags will transition well into Spring and Summer too.
Are you a fan of the backpack handbag? Which number is your favorite?

Ya’ll I am so excited for today’s post, because I am madly in love with my new pink backpack purse! I have had my eye on the Jetsetter from Henri Bendel for quite some time now. I originally went to the store to check out the non-mini version, but it was just a bit too big for what I was looking for. When I saw they had made a mini version, I knew I needed it. It was all about waiting for the perfect color to come along. This pink color was just released earlier this week, and it was the perfect color that I was waiting for. It’s kind of a pink coral color, perfect for spring and summer. My favorite thing about this bag is that it is three bags in one – a backpack, crossbody, and satchel. The beige straps can unhook and move around to create different ways to carry this purse. I have a few trips planned this spring and summer, and this bag is going to be so perfect for travel or just running errands on weekends.
I also recently added a couple closet staples to my wardrobe. One is these new distressed skinny jeans. I like that they have minimal distressing and that the holes are backlined. Best part of these – the price tag! These babies come in at only $88! I did have to size down. I originally ordered my regular jean size, but after about an hour I knew I had to go down a size. I often will wear a new brand of jeans for about an hour around my house with tags on to see how they stretch. This was actually something a salesperson recommended to me once. I don’t do anything major just move around enough to see if they will stretch or not.
My other addition is this black top. I know nothing super special, but a black top like this is so versatile. I currently own one with a dolman/batwing sleeve and wear it all the time. The sleeve prevents me from being able to layer really well with it though which is why I wanted a new one. The 3/4 length sleeve and thin material makes it wearable year round. It comes in a few other color and print options too. I also just saw that a few of them are on sale for 40% off. I’m hoping the white goes on sale soon too. I mean it’s a closet staple. I should have it in multiple colors right?!?! Haha. Hope ya’ll have a great rest of your day and thanks for stopping by!
