Cardigan- Loft  option  option
skirt- JCP
shoes- Payless  option  option
earrings- Nordstrom (sold out) option
necklace- Kendra Scott

I usually pick out my outfit for work the night before. Sometimes, however, I just don't have time, or I am just too tired. This was one of those nights and mornings. I didn't pick out anything and was running short on time for ironing, so I took a quick look around the closet and came out with this. Thanks to Classy Yet Trendy's ebooks, this was pretty much a no brainer. The cardigan was worn during the spring for many of my outfits that I put together from the Workwear Capsule Wardrobe: Spring 2017.  I definitely recommend checking out the ebooks for fall- Essential capsule, French minimalist, and work wear, even if you don't follow them to the letter as a capsule. So in a pinch, grab a cardigan, top, and pencil skirt. Add some accessories. Done.

SO... I've been displaced for four days now due to Irma. I think our property has fared okay, just more fences and trees down. Not sure about the inside- we took in water during Matthew last year in a couple of rooms through the windows. We took extra precautions this year, so we will see, when we are finally allowed back. I'm on four days with my in-laws who have never been my favorite people. I'm gracious for a safe place to be, but really? what happened to disciplining children and pets? We have our dog and she minds well. No she is not comfortable with her situation, but she will quieten down when we tell her to. I've had to listen to another dog bark in the house with us for nearly 24 hours and her owner refused to even say anything to her "because it won't do any good". ???? "The dog is just in a strange place and we will have to get used to it." What? I'm in a strange place too. Can't wait to go back to peace and quite even if it's wet.

Nautical


I couldn't help but wear a nautical look one more time before summer officially ends. This is also a version of one of my 10X10 outfits.

Olive swing dress


I have worn this swing dress many ways this summer, some of which did not make the blog. Since olive has become a neutral, year round color, I will be wearing it right into fall.
