Happy Friday!  I’m sticking with my summer to fall transitional outfit theme of the week with this adorable coral sleeveless top.   Since Texas will still be on the warmer side for another month or more, I like to buy lightweight sleeveless or short sleeve tops in pretty fall colors.  The color makes me feel fall, but the style helps me survive the heat a little. This top also has super cute shoulder detailing too.  I think my hair covers it in all the pictures….

I kept this outfit super casual with my new AG jeans.  I love to cuff my skinny jeans and pair them with heels and mule sandals.  I think the cuff works so well with these taupe mule sandals.  These sandals have been getting a bit of wear over the past month with many of my jean outfits.  I love that they have a casual vibe, but with the right dress can also have a slightly dressier feel to them.

I am heading to a friend’s wedding this weekend.  I cannot wait to dance the night away.  Per my usual, I ordered a dress from Rent the Runway.  Stay tuned to Instagram for the big reveal. This one is a total stunner! Ya’ll have a great weekend!!

Hello ladies!! Well, I am officially back in Texas and home from my first New York Fashion Week.  It was a whirlwind a few days, and I can’t wait to share more with you soon.  The last few days, we experienced some nice fall weather, but back in Texas means back to the heat and all my summer faves like this black and white look.  Most of the runway shows I attended featured tons of black and white looks, so I think this a perfect post fashion week outfit.

This black and white cami was a late summer purchase.  I love pairing camis with jeans for a date night or to grab a drink or dinner with friends.  This one pairs perfectly with all the jean colors, but I love the contrast with the white jeans.  These brown booties provided the perfect color pop for this black and white look.  The suede and western style helps make this outfit look more fall while still helping me stay cool.  The western vibe of these boots also made me want to add a bit or turquoise into the overall look.  Hello gorgeous statement earrings.

I’m taking today off work to relax, recover and catch up on blog work.  I hope ya’ll have a fabulous week.  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friday Friends!!  I’m so excited for this weekend because I am celebrating my birthday all weekend long!  I have plans with friends on Saturday and family on Sunday.  My birthday is on Wednesday, so I took the day off work and scheduled a relaxing massage.  Last year, my birthday was during Hurricane Harvey, so I didn’t really do anything for it.  I’m celebrating a little extra this year instead.

As I start transitioning my wardrobe to fall, I have been adding a little more earth tone shades this year. I usually prefer dark jewel tones like burgundy and all the black and gray.  Earth tone shades are definitely going to popular this year because I have seen lots of pretty rust oranges, deep reds, and rose pinks.  All the colors of the perfect sunset.  This orange ruffle top fits that rust orange earth tone perfectly.  I love the ruffle details and the higher crop of the top.  It’s perfect to wear in summer and on hot fall days.

These gray suede mules were a Nordstrom Sale purchase of mine.  I’m obsessed with them.  I wear them mainly with cuffed jeans, but they also work with dresses and shorts.  The block heel makes them comfy and easy to walk in.  I have been loving all the mule style shoes out right now, so I plan to add a few more pairs this year.

I hope you all have a fabulous last weekend of August.  Don’t forget to head to my last post to enter the Anthropologie Gift Card Giveaway!!

Hello Ladies!!  Ya’ll I have been on the market for a cute striped maxi dress for quite some time.  I have tried on a few but most of them have been too long for my petite 5’3 height.  Too say I was excited when I found this striped dress in the petite section of Loft would probably be a slight understatement.  I love the overall slightly loose fit, the length is perfect with both flats and wedges on me, and I love the size of the stripes.  The narrow navy and white stripes gives this dress a fun nautical feel.  The navy stripe is also perfect for styling with my brown wedges and crossbody.  I could not resist adding in my yellow statement earrings to this outfit.

A striped maxi dress like this one will also cross well into early fall with the addition of a denim jacket.  The material on this one is a little heavy.  I probably would not wear it to an outdoor party in our heat, but it would definitely work indoors.

For all my Anthropologie lovers, at the end of today’s post, I am partnering with some other lovely blogger babes to give away an Anthro gift card!  Be sure to scroll down and enter!  Thanks for stopping by, and I hope ya’ll have a great week!
