Ode to summer


 I wish it were not only "ode to summer" but "ode to this heat"! But alas it's not, so I will seize this opportunity to wear the things in my closet that haven't been worn yet this summer, like this cold shoulder white top.

Navy, khaki and cognac


As I end summer and start transitioning to fall, I tend to switch to outfits that are more neutral or non-seasonal. A combo of navy, khaki, and cognac makes for one of those outfits.

How to wear a floral midi skirt now and later



You may recognize this floral midi skirt from my recent Old Navy haul post. I wore it with a light, striped tee for a summer look. I'm looking forward to wearing this skirt into fall with a few tweaks.

Now and later sale picks- Saturday shopping

We should all be sick of Nordstrom by now, but even though the Anniversary Sale is over, there are still some great things on sale at Nordstrom. No, these aren't new releases, but still great items to wear now and later for fall. Old Navy is also having a great sale this weekend on tops, dresses, and jeans. I've combined my picks from the two into a collection for you to shop. If my budget and closet had room, I'd have one of each in my closet.

Wear now/ wear later Loft sale picks

Happy Saturday! Loft is having a 50% off sale this weekend. Many of my picks will be less than $25 dollars with that discount. Use code SUMMER17 online. Prices are good in store too.  These deals are even better than many of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale deals and my Loft clothing is sticking with me season after season. Someone pointed out that there is only six weeks of summer left. For me there is a lot more hot weather left, but if six weeks were all I had, I'd probably start dropping off the summer purchases and start looking to things I could transition to fall. With that in mind, I've rounded up Loft items that can be worn now and later.

Fall transition outfit for date night

The hubby and I have both been sick and under the weather since the weekend so I haven't felt much like taking outfit photos. Since I don't have a real outfit for you today, here's one I created all from Nordstrom. Each item is currently on sale. I've yet to invest in a moto or biker jacket because we have so little cold weather, but it could make a nice piece for cool evenings out.  I think this outfit would make a fun fall date night outfit. A little girly and a little edgy.

Transitioning with gingham





skirt- Loft outlet  option  option  option
shoes- Target  option  option
purse- Nine West via TJMaxx  option  option
bracelet- made by me  option  option

How do you transition to fall when it's still 90 degrees outside? With a dark color but lightweight gingham button up and a skirt, of course! Add some leopard flats and you've got instant fall vibes. Even thought I consider leopard a year round neutral, I turn to it more in the fall. Had it not been 90 degrees out, I might have gone with more of a fall twist with booties, a felt hat and a bandana scarf at the neck, but I'm sure I would have turned heads, and for the wrong reasons, in our town had I done that. Most folks haven't given up shorts and tee shirts yet.

How do you transition to fall?

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.

Late summer vacation style




Boatneck Top- Forever21 - option  option
shorts- JCP  option
necklace- JCrew Factory  option
shoes- JCP  option options option
hat- Sears option option
sunnies- Ray-ban
 
I rarely get out of my pajamas or exercise clothes on weekends or holidays if I don't have to go somewhere. Monday was the exception. I decided to throw this on after my run and shower. No makeup, other than trying out a sample of Urban Decay matte stark naked lipstick I had lying around.
 
 This is an outfit I wear repeatedly on our fall or early summer vacations, but it's never made the blog, so I decided to take some shots and share it. It's comfy but sporty. The hat keeps the sun from baking my head and the shoes are comfy. If you live a cooler climate, you could swap the shorts for joggers or cargo pants. You could pair this with olive pants instead of khaki. I love olive and red. Jewelry is minimal- just a long tassel necklace. I find that long necklaces are more tolerable in the heat vs shorter ones that hang closer to my neck.
 
What's your go to weekend or vacation outfit?
