Navy, khaki and cognac


As I end summer and start transitioning to fall, I tend to switch to outfits that are more neutral or non-seasonal. A combo of navy, khaki, and cognac makes for one of those outfits.

Out of the blue

necklace- Loft  option  option
 
I rarely wear a shirt untucked to work but this tunic style top looks so much better untucked. I love the mix of burgundy and cobalt. This is an outfit I'd repeat again.

Cookies are calling me and demanding to be decorated so I'm cutting this short. Have a great rest of the week.

Rust and teal




Blazer- Old  option  option
blouse- Limited  option  option  option
pants- JCPenney (on sale) option
shoes- Payless  option  option
belt- Belk option
necklace- JCrew Factory   option
earrings- Cato- option
 
 
I could wear this outfit over and over again. I loved it that much. It's another pairing of teal and orange and it's a fall favorite. There is also a bit of navy blue in the blouse so I'm sure you will see this top again in another color scheme but I'm loving this one for now.
 
Sorry to cut it short but you know it's the most wonderful time of the  year, so that means a juggling act to get it all done.

Hurricane break




Blazer- TJMaxx  option  option  option

I've been on a little break thanks to Hurricane Matthew. Our county started a mandatory evacuation at 7:00 a.m. last Thursday. I had just gotten the call to not report to work at 6:30 a.m. I had not yet began packing to evacuate because I thought I was going to have to go to work and we thought we might stay if Matthew stayed at level 3 or less. He kept bouncing up and down a level so we complied with the evacuation and went about 70 miles inland to my parents. They don't have the best internet service so I didn't touch anything blog related while I was there.
 
As soon as we got the word we could come back, we came home and fired up a generator to save the food in our fridge and freezer. We also found that our front bedroom took in water, likely from the window and maybe at the foundation. We will have to replace carpet in that room. Thanks Matt.  The frustrating thing is that we have lived with the contents of my husband's office space and some of the attic contents around us for the month prior thanks to baby brother Hermine and an AC pan that overflowed in the attic during that storm. The ceiling and attic floor had to be repaired. We were just ready to move the hubby's stuff back in his room the day we had to evacuate. Some of it got thrown in there before leaving. Now we have that stuff plus the contents of the other bedroom stacked around the house. I feel like I'm living in a flea market. But you know what? It's just stuff. And it will get repaired, and hopefully some of it NOT replaced. I'm sick of stuff after shuffling things around for a month. We really need to downsize our possessions. After this experience with this storm, I've decided that even some of the things I thought were important are not. What's important are the memories attached to them and I'll always have those memories and life experiences. 
 
Our house is otherwise fine. We have a couple of trees down to deal with but thankfully they fell away from the house and not on it. I realize others did not fare so well through this storm and other storms. Please keep praying for everyone involved.  I'm so grateful for everything. God is good.
 
Now, about this outfit. I decided to add a new burgundy/wine blazer to the fall/winter wardrobe. (Did you catch my fall color series? I've got more burgundy picks in the series.) I first ordered this one from The Limited but stumbled on the one I'm wearing at TJMaxx for less money.  The other pieces are old but it's refreshing sometimes to just have one new piece to mix in with the others.

More neutrals for fall





Blazer- old option  option  option
top-JCP old  option  option  option
pants- Loft
belt- Belk  option
shoes- Payless  option  option
necklace- JCrew Factory  option  option
 
One of the easiest ways for me to shift from summer to fall is to shift to neutrals. Even when the calendar says fall, sometimes full on fall color doesn't seem right when it's still hot.
 
 This top is one of my favorites but hasn't been worn in a while. It's the perfect top to switch between work and casual with its ruffle cap sleeve, especially when the temps are still warm. See how I wore it with shorts here.
 
I tried to keep this from being too boring by going with the cognac heels instead of black. If you want to be a little more trendier, try this block heel pair. Block heels are in this fall.

Early fall work wear





Blazer- Limited  option
top-JCP  option  option
pants- Loft  option  option  option
belt- Belks  option
necklace- JCP  option  option
earrings- JCP   option     option
 
Fall is still very warm for us here so transition outfits and early fall outfits have more to do with color and pattern than with your typical fall pieces like scarves and sweaters. This orange top paired with navy and plaid made a perfect fall office outfit without being too warm. I love the booties with the ankle pants too. I typically save these booties for the spring (seen here) due to their lighter color but I'm utilizing them for  fall transitions until it gets a little cooler and I can bust out my suede booties.
 
It started raining while I was taking these photos. Ignore the rain drops.
 
Hope your week is off to a great start.
