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!

Happy long weekend! Here are my Labor Day weekend sale picks, all with a look to the upcoming fall season. Macy's is offering up to and extra 20% off with code SUPER. I am in love with those two piece oxfords. They are going on my wish list. How cute would they be with a pair of boyfriend jeans, a white tee, and that faux leather moto jacket? Take another 20% off the jacket at Lord and Taylor with code LABORDAY.

Loft is having a buy one, get one 50% off sale on some items, extra 50% off sale items and my favorite jeans are at one of their lowest price points, no code needed. I scooped up this cute scarf yesterday for $7 and some change.

JCrew factory is having a 50% off sale. I jumped the gun and ordered the sleeveless sweater a couple of weeks ago at 40% off and I'm keeping it. It's soft with a nice structured fit. Not too sloppy or slouchy. The skirt is on it's way to me now because I outgrew (lol) my other leopard print skirt.

Happy Shopping! Let me know what deals you find!

Thanks for sticking with me through all the hair complaining. I went back to my stylist last Friday and told her I just couldn't style the other cut daily. You can see I went back to short hair. It's pretty much a short layered bob, and we've still got a little work to do on the cut, but it's so much easier than trying to work with those layers at the previous length. It took me 4 minutes to style my hair Monday morning. 4 minutes people! I love it.

 

I bought this blouse during the Nsale. I went for wear now and wear in our 'hot" fall items during the sale.  When it cools down a little more, I'll wear this with olive jeans. I threw this together to wear to lunch with the hubby last Saturday. Blush works equally well with olive or grey. (BTW, it's on sale now for a lower price than it was during the Nsale- I guess I should have waited.)

Another day of the layered hair cut.... I thought I was getting the hang of styling it, but it looked pretty pathetic by the end of the day. On the next washing after this, I could do nothing with it. I just couldn't wear it straight and I really don't have time for curling daily. Anyway, I'm sure you are tired of hearing me complain by now. Some of you left some nice comments on yesterdays post. Thanks. That was the day after the cut when I still had some of the salon styling going on. Once I washed it myself, it was all over.

 

At least I can always find happy shoes in my closet. I don't wear these much (last seen HERE and HERE, but pulled them out for an Instagram challenge on print mixing. I have to be careful about print mixing in a conservative office, but mine is relaxed enough to get away with some subtle mixing  once in a while. I doubt I'd wear this outfit to court, but I'd definitely wear the shoes to court with a solid outfit.

Boy, if you look at that list of shops above, you can tell I will shop just about anywhere and I'm not partial to anyone. I do have places I shop at more than others, but that's quite a list up there. I got this tee at the first of the year on clearance from Banana Republic. It was too cold for it then and I forgot about it. I finally pulled it out and styled it with this midi skirt. A graphic tee and a midi skirt always make a fun combination. I added a little more glam with the red clutch and leopard heels.

 

Hope you are having a great week!

This outfit was created out of a need for something that didn't need ironing and could get me out the door  quickly. I had already wasted too much time on hair. I was pretty sure that I had already worn something similar but I couldn't find it in my archives.  You can see five ways I've previously worn these pants here and a look back at the blouse here. I suppose this outfit would be another nod to fall.

 

My attempt to style the new haircut led to some accidental waves and curls, so I just went with it and created beachy waves all over. I actually got compliments on my hair this day. I attempted the waves two other days before I got my hair cut again, but they didn't turn out quite as well as they did this day. I have a lot of hair, thick hair. Curling or creating beachy waves takes a lot of time that I usually don't have in the mornings. I am NOT a morning person.
