The perfect fall dress

The perfect fall dress is one that is floral and has some romantic detail like a flutter sleeve or ruffles. That's how I feel about this midi dress from Old Navy, and it's now less than $25!

Old Navy haul- try on session

Happy Saturday! Instead of my usual round up I thought I'd share my recent Old Navy haul with you in the form of a try on session. Excuse the dirty mirror, messy room and wet hair. This is real life.

First up is the crochet lace yoke shift dress. It's a cute dress in a perfect color for fall. It's thin but perfect for our warm falls. My only complaint is that it's tight under the arms and has a weird fit due to the crochet top going over part of the sleeve. I'm wearing a small but might try a medium if my store has one. Other than the underarms, it fits well.

Here's the back and a close up of the texture of the top.

Hello there sweatshirt- Definitely a keeper. Super soft, not too thick and not too slouchy. Wearing a small.

Floral midi skirt- yes I layered over the dress. I wish it had pockets but it's a cute skirt with lots of potential.

Flutter sleeve waisted midi- it's longer than a midi on me. I ordered it in a regular because petite wa not available. This dress is lined and I love the sleeves. I'm undecided about the length. It would probably look better on me the length of the above skirt. 

Open front tassel hem cardigan- small. The sleeves are snug on this and they don't layer well over other tops but might work well with tanks and sleeveless tops. I'm on the fence about it. The tassels tend to get tangled together too.

Happy Shopping!

One outfit two bags

I thought it would be fun to take a look at one outfit styled with two difference bags. Accessories can sometimes change up the whole look of an outfit.

Remember the long cardigans everyone was swooning over during the July Nsale? I bought one but found this one at Old Navy for less money and actually like it better. I try not to wear too long of layers due to my height, or lack of. I love the pockets on the front. This exact one doesn't seem to be available, but I've linked up it's twin and some other options.

Thank you

THANK YOU to our veterans! Thank you for protecting the freedoms we have, to vote and to disagree. I must say I'm sorely disappointed at the actions of some in our country over this election. It is what it is, whether you agree or not. I don't think our veterans fought for you to have the right to show your behind. To disagree, yes, to be ugly, no. It's disrespectful. So for today, let's set it aside and be thankful we still live where we can vote.

This blouse, sweater vest and the booties are some of my Nsale purchases. The blouse and vest are pretty much sold out now, but I've tried to find some similar items. I love the slight boho feel to this outfit. I think I'm going to be wearing this vest a lot during the fall and winter. We have mild winters so I can layer this and feel cozy vibes without being too warm. If you've been looking for a trendy item to add to your fall wardrobe, I'd recommend a long sweater vest.

 

Are you ready for tonight? We dress up and have other adults and kids who dress up in theme to hand out candy at our house. We are having an evil carnival theme this year. 50-100 kids and adults usually pass through our driveway each year, but who knows, maybe not this year. They have to walk through a clown's mouth to get in and some people are pretty scared of clowns. Ha!

White jeans for fall

White jeans are totally acceptable after Labor Day now. Taking white jeans into fall is easily done by pairing them with neutral colors. I'm pairing mine with this Old Navy tee that I raved about in this post. This is my fall formula- jeans+tee+booties. It's still too warm for much else, but at least it's cool enough for jeans most evenings.

For just a couple of days each year, we get to dress business casual on my job as opposed to business attire. That means these sandals would not be allowed at the office, but are allowed at training or a conference. I eagerly took the opportunity to wear these wide leg pants again with a tee, and threw on a blazer to keep it on the business side (and to keep warm in those cold conference rooms.)

 

Hope your week is off to a great start!
