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.

Jeans and booties

jeans- Loft

booties- Target  option  option  option

bracelet- Kendra Scott

necklace- JCRew Factory  option

earrings- JCP  option  option

 

I wore this outfit twice last week. It was just so easy to put together. Accessories take it  a notch above just jeans and a tee. The ankle booties are my nod to fall and that's about all I can do in the heat we still have. At least it did cool off enough to wear jeans. I hear we may have low 80s next week. I guess that's better than high 80s and 90.

 

Hope you had a great week. It has been a busy one for me, so I'm really looking forward to the weekend!

Falling into the trenches

 

Sleeveless trench- via Poshmark  similar option option

shirt- JCrew Factory

skirt- Nordstrom  option   option   option

shoes- Payless   option  option  option

bracelet- Charmed Stacks  option

 

Well,  that was a cheesy post title but I've never claimed to be good at catchy titles. This outfit does incorporate a trench and a fall colored pencil skirt, along with one of my go to button down blouses. I bet I can't even count how many times or ways I've worn this shirt. That would probably make a fun post to round up all the ways. It's a little difficult to find sleeveless trenches to link up, but this trench vest would look equally well with a pencil skirt and make other cute fall outfits.

 

You may notice something wrong with my right eye. I have had "inflammation" in it for the past week. It actually started a week prior with a sinus infection, cleared up then came back after the sinus infection was gone. The doctor says it is not infected, but it's inflammation. Other than the sinus infection, I can't really find a cause. Sometimes this condition is linked to other inflammatory conditions in the body but I don't have any of those. Nonetheless, I have had this red, sometimes painful eye for a week. It is beginning to get better, but I'd appreciate a few prayers for full healing.

Power suit with edge

pants- Gap  suit

blouse- Nordstrom  similar

belt- Target  option

necklace- Rocksbox  option

shoes- Ann Klein  similar

 

I wear this black suit a lot, but I hesitate to post it on the blog each time. How many times do you need to see the black power suit? It has its benefits- it's conservative, it's easy to throw on and go and almost anything goes with it. I decided to share it this time because I wanted to show you that you can add a little color and edge and still be professional.  I added this spike necklace and snakeskin belt. The blouse adds a pop of color.

 

Hope your week is going well.
