Summer to fall work wear




Cardigan- Belk  option  option
blouse- Target  option  option
pants- Loft
belt- thrifted option
shoes- Payless  option  option
necklace- JCrew Factory
earrings- Sears option
bracelets- JCP/ Ann Taylor  option option
 
I  consider this blouse strictly a spring/ summer piece, but  I couldn't resist wearing it one more time. Paired with black pants and the olive cardigan, it makes a nice transition outfit from summer to fall.
 
I'm so glad this short week is over. I probably shouldn't even say that, just be grateful it was a short week, but things are getting busy again. Hope you had a good week. Enjoy the weekend.

Fall vibes

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.

NSale work wear picks

As promised on Saturday, here is a round up of some Nordstrom Anniversary sale business professional work pieces. (See some casual picks here.) These will make great investments as they can be mixed and matched with lot of things and worn many ways. The tops are all available in multiple colors and prints, and most everything else (pants, skirts, shoes) have multiple color options. (I wouldn't necessarily mix and match the color choices shown here, but all pieces come in colors they will work well with items you probably already have.)

Ya'll, I'll admit I've had a difficult time getting into the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. Everyone says it's one of the best ones ever, but I've been seeing everyone's picks and posts and I've not been overly impressed.  It's just that it's so hot here, and we may be wearing shorts into October, it's hard for me to even fathom that I need anything for fall.

Are you tired of seeing the same ol' thing over and over? I am. Just sayin. I know there are some popular items we all like, but I get tired of seeing them. But I will admit that the more I see the posts and the more I search the website, the more things grow on me. So I've been searching for some things that can be worn early fall in the South and layered later in the winter. I've also tried to pick some things that haven't been posted over and over, and I kept it under $100. I don't know about your, but some things just aren't in my budget, even on sale.

 I will also be sharing a business professional set of picks later, so make sure you are following me so you won't miss it. There truly are lots of great items out there and it's hard to stick them all in one post.

It's a great time to stock up on some classics and basics or dip your toes into a trend. The skinny neck scarf is coming onto the scene, so now might be a good time to give this trend a try. They have one in a floral print too. If you need boots, buy them now. I bought my cognac riding boots last year, so I don't need any this year. I've got the boots covered with a cognac pair, black pair, and a couple of heeled pairs for work. That's another reason I can't get into the sale- I've got most of my basics covered.

We are in the early access phase so you need a Nordstrom debit or credit card to shop. Sign up here.

 Happy Shopping!

Summertime blues

Something about summer time makes me want to quit work, stay home, lounge in the sun and wear cute short and skirt outfits. Posting about office attire during this season doesn't even seem right. But if you're stuck in my situation and stuck in an office during the summer, there are a few things you can do to lighten up your stuffy office attire.

Add white and bright colors to navy. I did exactly that here and went with a nude pump instead of a dark one. If I can't be out in the sun, I can bring a little of it in with me.

Still wearing cardigans

Yes, it's beginning to get hot outside and I'm still wearing cardigans. By mid-week, it's freezing in my office, so this extra layer is very welcomed. I pretty much copied this look straight from the Limited's site using their blouse and my own pants and cardigan.
 
Happy Friday!
