The dress that doesn't quit

If you don't own a chambray dress, then you should. It's the one piece in my closet that just won't quit. It's almost as good, or better, than having the classic chambray shirt.

Harper and Jewels picks





These are five of my favorite things available from Harper and Jewels right now. The tee shirts are so fun and I'm into bar necklaces right now. This one comes in silver or gold and can be monogrammed or engraved with full name.

Save even more on my picks or any order from Harper and Jewels with code SOUTHERNCHIC.

Hang in there- it's almost Friday!

5 More fall trends to try

Happy Friday and First Day of Fall! It's going to be in the high 80's again, so I don't think mother nature read the calendar. Nonetheless, I can still find ways to incorporate fall trends into my wardrobe. Did you catch my previous 5 fall trends to try post? Here are five more:

Happy Labor Day Weekend to those of us in the U.S.! There are some great sales this weekend, so it's time to stock up on those end of summer items that will carry us into fall, or start planning our fall wardrobes. If you are just lost as to what to wear this fall, then consider joining the GYPO Style Challenge Fall 2017.

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!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale try on session




Hello there! Yes it's another Nordstrom Anniversary Sale post. I promise I'll back off after this, but the sale will open to the public tomorrow and this might help you in your decisions if you have yet to start shopping.  I love these kinds of posts from other bloggers because I like to see items on real people, not models. So I decided to share my own try on session from my orders with you. My apologies for the bad lighting. Our bedroom is very dark and the hubby wants it that way for sleep. I personally cannot see a thing in there and I don't know how I make it out of the house some days with anything on that coordinates. I also don't really have a full length mirror, just the mirrored doors on my antique wardrobe. And I'm not very good at mirror selfies.... so... keeping it very real.

The first things to arrive were the Halogen scallop edge sweater  and the Bp vneck pullover. I ordered in both regular and petite sizes and couldn't make either work in this scallop sweater. It's one of those on me that just rolls and creates rolls and you can also see the waist band of your pants through it. All of that is just yuck to me. Some bloggers seemed to like this piece. I think if you are more slender and have a longer torso than me, it might work. Don't fret about it being sold out. Mine is on it's way back to inventory.

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.

Cardigan- TJMaxx  option  option  option
tank- Loft  option  option
jeans- Loft
booties- JCP  option  option

I love teal and orange for a fall combination. And yes, it's fall and I'm wearing a tank under that lightweight cardigan. I told you we had another hot spell, so this is my fall. It's real fall, not fantasy fall.
 
Hope your week is going well. We received some sad and disappointing news this week, so we could use your prayers.

How to dress for fall when it's hot




Tee- Old Navy
boyfriend jeans- Loft  option  option
shoes- Target  option  option   option
bracelet- Alex and Ani  option  option
bag-TJMaxx  option  option
earrings- JCP  option  option
 
We had some weekend errands to run weekend before last and  the temperatures were back up to HOT. So how do you still feel a little like fall? Grab your loose comfy boyfriend jeans and throw on a fall colored tee.  (Yes, I have the same one in grey and I love it.) To elevate the jeans+tee outfit, add some cute flats and accessories. In this case, I went with leopard flats because leopard reminds me of fall. I don't feel completely dressed when I don't have on some accessory, so I have been reaching for this Alex and Ani bracelet a lot when I want to keep it low key but still have my "fix".
 
Hope you have a fabulous week!  Please know that I always appreciate your comments. It may take me while to respond or acknowledge them, but I do read them and treasure them.
