Today I'm showing two ways to wear a plaid shirtdress. I've already worn it the first way, and I'm sure I'll wear the second outfit when I'm in a pinch and need to get out the door quickly. What's easier that a one piece dress and flats? I started with booties and a fringe crossbody bag. This dress is lightweight and the booties and bag give it enough fall flair that I can feel dressed for fall but not sweat in our warm fall temps.

The second way was just a quick change to leopard flats and an olive satchel.

Dress: Tommy Hilfiger/ Macys

purse: Nine West via TJMaxx  option

shoes- Target  option 

A plaid dress is a great workhorse to have in your closet for fall and winter. I can wear this dress now and when it's colder, I can add a cardigan, tights, and boots for a totally new look. A dress like this would also be nice with a blazer and pumps for work.

Fall favorites- boyfriend jeans and shades of orange. This was a perfect weekend outfit. This sweater is soft and cozy, yet lightweight- perfect for our form of fall.

 I've added a little more fringe to my wardrobe in the form of a crossbody bag. While I love all the fringe heels and booties out there, I'm afraid I won't love them forever so I'm sticking to small amounts of fringe now. I already own a poncho with fringe too so I'm not totally out of the loop.

I'm also loving this necklace. I'm petite with a short torso, so long necklaces (anything past 28 inches) tend to be too long for me. This one is the perfect length and goes with casual and work outfits.

And one more thing- The sweater has a zipper all the way down the back. Business in the front, party in the back! It's another one of my favorite details of this outfit.

Hope you're enjoying a day off!

Olive it

Olive it! I LOVE it! I'm glad to see olive is on trend this fall. I've recently added an olive satchel and olive jeans to my closet. Here are some more olive picks, $100 or less.

Mod Cloth tunic/ Vans/ Joe's cargo skinny jeans/ JCrew Factory tunic
Steve Madden tote/ Kenneth Cole Reaction tote/  River Island pumps

Of course you can always get your olive on with a military/utility jacket or with this cute cardigan.

Happy Shopping!

We hit enough of a dip in temps last weekend that I was able to wear a scarf. I layered it over this marsala/oxblood/burgundy tunic that I found at TJMaxx recently. I have a tie neck top in a similar shade but decided that it was tired after being worn repeatedly for the last few fall seasons. I was on the lookout for a new piece in this color, and was excited when I stumbled over this top. I'm also taking note of cobalt and burgundy/oxblood being mixed together this season, although I should have noticed last year because my scarf is from last season and it was already on trend with the two colors. I was inspire by this Bridgette Raes post to combine the tunic with grey dress pants. I would have loved to have added my cobalt heels, but I was wearing this out to a funeral visitation and had already been on my feet for 8 hours. They just couldn't take heels so I went with these comfy ballet flats.

 I love it when fall and winter present the opportunity to wear rich, vibrant jewel tones. They are not my go to colors, but I do like them for mixing things up once in a while. I ordered this skirt during the Nordstrom anniversary sale. It's a nice thick skirt with the perfect amount of stretch. I was hesitant about the color but I have lots of things in my closet to pair it with so I kept it. This paring was a little bit of a wild card pairing and a little out of my comfort zone, but I liked the end result. The leopard shoes and tortoise necklace and watch subtly tie it together.
