Orange you glad... it's fall? it's almost Friday? Cheesy title, I know. I sometimes struggle to come up with a catchy title or really anything to say. I have been told by a reader that they like my blog because I don't ramble about a lot of unrelated things and get right to the outfit details. So I guess it's a good thing I don't always have a lot to say.

 

I got this cardigan a couple of years ago and love to wear it each fall. I've paired it with black and polka dots before and with navy. This is a first with grey and leopard, and I love this combination.

After sharing a couple of  more casual looks the past two days, it's back to business today. You've seen this suit many times before, but the blouse is a new addition to my closet via the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. Most anything pairs well with this suit, but I love this blouse with it for this time of year. A cluster pearl necklace or a chunky pearl necklace is a great accessory to have to for business or casual. They polish up any look.

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!
