I've been playing around in some Instagram style challenges and doing so has made me realize that I have a very limited number of fall florals. Three blouses to be exact. Hmmm... excuse for shopping? lol. This blouse is one of them. It has an amazing array of colors- red, burgundy and rusts in the mix. I decided to pair it with the rust pants and pull out those shades.

Speaking of Instragram. Are you following me? You will find sneak peaks of things before they make the blog and some things that never make the blog. I'm finding it to be a fun little community too.

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.

Happy long weekend! Here are my Labor Day weekend sale picks, all with a look to the upcoming fall season. Macy's is offering up to and extra 20% off with code SUPER. I am in love with those two piece oxfords. They are going on my wish list. How cute would they be with a pair of boyfriend jeans, a white tee, and that faux leather moto jacket? Take another 20% off the jacket at Lord and Taylor with code LABORDAY.

Loft is having a buy one, get one 50% off sale on some items, extra 50% off sale items and my favorite jeans are at one of their lowest price points, no code needed. I scooped up this cute scarf yesterday for $7 and some change.

JCrew factory is having a 50% off sale. I jumped the gun and ordered the sleeveless sweater a couple of weeks ago at 40% off and I'm keeping it. It's soft with a nice structured fit. Not too sloppy or slouchy. The skirt is on it's way to me now because I outgrew (lol) my other leopard print skirt.

Happy Shopping! Let me know what deals you find!

Thanks for sticking with me through all the hair complaining. I went back to my stylist last Friday and told her I just couldn't style the other cut daily. You can see I went back to short hair. It's pretty much a short layered bob, and we've still got a little work to do on the cut, but it's so much easier than trying to work with those layers at the previous length. It took me 4 minutes to style my hair Monday morning. 4 minutes people! I love it.

 

I bought this blouse during the Nsale. I went for wear now and wear in our 'hot" fall items during the sale.  When it cools down a little more, I'll wear this with olive jeans. I threw this together to wear to lunch with the hubby last Saturday. Blush works equally well with olive or grey. (BTW, it's on sale now for a lower price than it was during the Nsale- I guess I should have waited.)

This outfit was created out of a need for something that didn't need ironing and could get me out the door  quickly. I had already wasted too much time on hair. I was pretty sure that I had already worn something similar but I couldn't find it in my archives.  You can see five ways I've previously worn these pants here and a look back at the blouse here. I suppose this outfit would be another nod to fall.

 

My attempt to style the new haircut led to some accidental waves and curls, so I just went with it and created beachy waves all over. I actually got compliments on my hair this day. I attempted the waves two other days before I got my hair cut again, but they didn't turn out quite as well as they did this day. I have a lot of hair, thick hair. Curling or creating beachy waves takes a lot of time that I usually don't have in the mornings. I am NOT a morning person.

I guess all of the fall posts have gotten to me. I grabbed some fall looking pieces from my closet last week and put together this outfit. The light color pants and shoes acknowledge that it is still summer.

 

I hinted about a week ago that I had gotten a hair cut. Here it is, or at least version one. I got rid of the long angled pieces in front and my stylist cut some layers. I'm blessed with really thick hair and it gets so heavy at a certain point. We had hoped the layers would give it more movement and help with the weight. It was better but something about this cut was not quite right. I could not style it. After about ten frustrating days, I returned to the salon on Friday and got another cut. A cut I like and can style and get out the door in ten minutes with. That's the way I like it. So, bear with this week's post and then you can see the new haircut.
