Pumpkin spice and everything nice- Saturday Shopping

Fall is coming (at least on the calendar - in my climate one would not know otherwise) and along with it all of it's rich glorious colors. For the next few weeks, we will be exploring those colors.  One of my favorite fall colors is what Pantone is calling Potter's Clay this year. Call it rust, pumpkin spice, or orange. Here's a collection of some great pieces in that color, all under $100, except for the dress, and most under $50.

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?

Floral and lace top





Blouse- Nordstrom on sale!
shorts- Old Navy  option  option
shoes- Target (old)  option  option
ring- House of Harlow/ cuff- Slate both via Rocksbox (FREE month with code FondaBFF)
beaded bracelet- made by me  option
purse- Nine West via TJMaxx  option
 
I'm not sure why I waited to style this top until now. It was an Nsale purchase and I guess in my mind I thought I had to wait until closer to fall. I love the fall print and colors in this, but it's still not quite time/ cool enough to pull out the olive jeans or burgundy jeans and the sweater vest. You bet when it is, I'll be wearing this top with those items. For now, I'm relying on my trusty boyfriend shorts and rose gold sandals. You've seen these pieces on major repeat this summer. I'm not sorry either. If you learn one thing from me, it's how to mix and remix and wear the same items.
 
Who is also itching to decorate their home for fall? I used to love to decorate each season and holiday, but this past year I put out some neutral items and pretty much left them there all year. I just don't seem to have time for it. Check out five ways to decorate for fall  here, using faux pumpkins, lanterns,  and vases.

A little more white







White linen blazer- Calvin Klein via Belk
cowl neck top- Banana Republic (old)  option  option
skirt- Nordstrom on sale  option
shoes- Payless  option
necklace- online boutique  option
 
I will definitely be wearing white after Labor Day, but maybe not this blazer. I wore this outfit to work last week. This is a linen blazer, so I may retire it for the season once the calendar says fall, but I will continue to wear my heavier weight white blazer and white jeans. (This blazer is vanilla, not bright white, so it's a good choice for year round wear.)
 
While red, white and blue is definitely a summer color combo, I find it to be neutral enough to wear year round.  I'm pairing my blazer with my red skirt purchased during the Nsale. (FYi, it's on sale for cheaper than the Nsale price. I'm beginning to think  either I suck at Nsale shopping or it's the sale is a rip off. This is the second piece this has happened with.)  You've already seen one outfit with it here. This is definitely going to be a year round piece for me. It will pair nicely with a sweater and boots this winter.
