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.

Fall transition pieces on sale



I'm beginning to give in to the fact that fall is coming. Actually, I'm dying for the cooler weather to come, but I know it will still be too warm here for full on boots, scarves and sweaters. Instead, fall for me means changing the color palette of my wardrobe and adding in some booties.  Here are ten pieces currently on sale that would be great for fall transitioning.  That cognac tote is reversible and could be flipped over for a new tote come spring.

Pink vest




Sleeveless blazer- Banana Republic  option  option
floral blouse- The Limited
pants- Belk  option option
shoes- TJMaxx  option
bracelet- Charmed Stacks  option
 
Even though the shades of pinks differ from the blouse to the vest, I was pleasantly surprised and pleased with how this outfit turned out.  I love vests or sleeveless blazers but struggle with styling them because my favorite looks are to go sleeveless but I can't do that for work.
 
I'm also wearing the House of Harlow necklace again from my Rocksbox. It's a really pretty piece and I'm contemplating purchasing this one.
 
Hope you have a great weekend.

Easy summer style

 
 
 
 
Top- Cato  option   option   option
skirt- Loft outlet  option  option
shoes- Target  option  option
lips- Smashbox primrose
 
I love an easy, comfortable summer outfit. Let's be real, who wants to fuss with clothing in the heat? The last time I wore this top, I paired it with wide leg pants. This time I paired it with this chambray pull on skirt (red version here). This is such a comfy skirt. I should have worn it more this summer. Maybe I could pair it with a plaid shirt and booties for fall. What do you think?
 
This necklace was in my Rocksbox. Try out the service for a month free with code FONDABFF.

Chartreuse and dots





Blazer- Dress Barn   option  option
skirt- JCrew Factory option      option   option
blouse- JCPenney   option
earrings- JCPenney  option
necklace- JCrew Factory  option
shoes- TJMaxx  option  option
 
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.

I'm sure I've posted something very similar to this on the blog before, so if you recognize it as a repeat, my apologies.  While I do like to show you new ways to wear items, the truth is, I repeat outfits or similar versions all the time. It's life. It is getting out the door on time. I love this jacket and I've worn it a multitude of ways.
 
I do know for certain you haven't seen this necklace before,  unless you are following me on Instagram. The necklace is new. It's on major sale right now. Long necklaces have become my go to accessories for work attire.
