I had fun styling this poncho for summer, but I am so ready to start wearing this thing in the fall and winter! When I originally purchased this poncho in the #NSale a couple months ago, this outfit was almost exactly what I had in mind. I actually pictured it with my tall black riding boots, but it’s still a teeny bit to warm for those beauties. I typically roll my jeans when I wear booties, but I decided to try tucking this pair into them. This pair has a more legging fit and is tight at the ankle, so it fits well inside the bootie without looking to bulky around the ankle. These shoes are a few years old and while looking for similar pairs, I stumbled upon the two gorgeous pairs linked by Nine West. They are not really similar, but I love the design of them. They have cool cutouts on them and are just beautiful so the shoe lover in me had to share them!! Ponchos are a great layering piece to have around for fall and winter. They have a blanket look to them, and are perfect paired with a casual tee. I also love this one with a black long sleeved tee. If you want to be comfy and warm while still looking chic, then a poncho is perfect addition to your look. I’m someone who is always cold, and I love being able to wrap up in my blanket poncho when I am cold. This week seemed to go by so slow! One of those weeks where you think it’s Thursday, but it’s really only Tuesday. My days have been like that all week, and I am so ready for this weekend!! Thanks for stopping by the blog this week! I hope you all have a LOOOOOONG weekend! 🙂

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!!!

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!

During fall and winter, I love layered looks. An easy layered look is to toss on a fun jacket or blazer over your top. You can also wear an over-sized sweater over long tunics and tops. One layering technique that I love is adding a sweater vest. I have a couple that I wear in spring and summer, but I really wanted to add a few that would work in fall and winter. This one from The Mint Julep Boutique was pretty much exactly what I had in mind when I started my search. For starters, I love the charcoal color. This dark gray works with so many colors which increases the number of outfits I can create out of it. I also love the fringe trim to add a fun little detail to the vest. The knit design of this sweater vest was also a big selling point for me. It just says cozy and warm all over it. Sweater vests are great to toss on over silk blouses or long sleeve shirts, dresses, t-shirts, and even a tank top on a warm fall day. When shopping for layered pieces keep in mind how you plan on layering it. If you plan on using a piece over a thick item like a sweater, you may want to consider sizing up or at least make sure to have some space for a thick sweater. If you are going to layer over something thinner like this silk blouse, then you should be ok to stick with your normal size.
I have partnered with The Mint Julep Boutique to give one lucky reader a $25 E-Gift Card to the boutique. Giveaway is open to US Residents only. Head to the end of the post to enter and Good Luck!
