Basics and neutrals for fall

Tee- Old Navy  option

skirt- JCrew Factory  option

shoes- Payless  option  option  option

necklace- Rocksbox  option

bracelet- Kendra Scott  option

 

Yes, I'm calling this basics and neutrals because leopard is a neutral. I love it year round but gravitate towards it more in the fall. And a grey tee is a great basic to have, especially for my fall, not "Fantasy Fall" as Caroline from Un-Fancy would say.  We don't all have the boots, sweaters, scarves kind of fall (heck I don't get too much of that in winter) so we have to dress for the fall we have. Looks like mine is going to start out in the high 80's or 90s. This tee is perfect. It's the linen blend tee from Old Navy and has great drape and shape, loose but not sloppy. I want one in every color. As for the skirt, get used to it. I'm sure you will see it a lot. I can think of three more outfits off the top of my head without even going to my closet.

 

I'm getting as much wear out of this necklace as I can. It's a  Rocksbox exclusive (Try out Rocksbox for a month free with code FONDABFF). I will eventually be returning it because it's a bit out of my price range but I love it.

A little more summer

Shirt- TJMaxx  option 

skirt- JCPenney  option  option

shoes- TJMaxx  option  option  option

earrings- Jane.com  option  option

 

Some people treat Labor Day as the official end of summer. My calendar and the temperature still says summer, so you will still get a few summer looks from me. I am beginning to turn the color palette to fall, but today I'm sharing an outfit I wore about a week ago. I had a waitress in a restaurant just raving over this outfit and she wanted to recreate it for her date that night. My husband made a return trip to the salad bar and informed me that the waitress was still discussing my outfit and had other staff discussing it and fashion as well. LOL You never know who you will have an impact on.

 

If you are ready to turn to fall clothing, then you can still use this formula for a fall outfit. Tie up a darker gingham shirt with a denim pencil skirt and booties or a chambray with a fall color pencil skirt and some darker shooties or leopard pumps.

 

If you are blessed to have the day off, enjoy!

All of these pieces are old. There is nothing new for you to shop, but as one of you commented yesterday, if you have good pieces, you have a good wardrobe and can mix them up.  There is no need for new items all the time. This skirt has been mixed over and over and over again. Another great skirt like that from JCrew Factory would be this one.  I am in love. I had a leopard print skirt but um... it didn't fit anymore so I sold it. I  would love to have this one but I'm trying to watch my budget. I just ordered a couple of tops from JCrew Factory and just before that the necklaces I've been wearing. I tend to go through phases where nothing at a retailer interests me for a while, and then, suddenly, I'm in love with everything.

earrings- Target  option   option

 

This white linen blazer is the replacement for my other white blazer. You may remember me talking about looking for a replacement as the other one was getting a little worn and hard to clean. I still have it and it has a few wears left, but I'm loving this lighter weight linen version for our hot summers.

 

This outfit was one I've had the inspiration for pinned for two or three years now and finally got around to wearing it. What's not to love about white, pink and navy?

 

I love these Comfort Plus Payless pumps. Try them out with 15% off through Aug. 8 with code ZZSHOP.
