White jeans are totally acceptable after Labor Day now. Taking white jeans into fall is easily done by pairing them with neutral colors. I'm pairing mine with this Old Navy tee that I raved about in this post. This is my fall formula- jeans+tee+booties. It's still too warm for much else, but at least it's cool enough for jeans most evenings.

Camo and bling

I never wear this tee but I decided to give camo and bling a try. I mean, camo does have one of my favorite fall colors- olive. I doubt this will be on repeat, but it's fun to mix it up once in a while.

The one I didn't love



 
Blazer- Belk  option
top- Nordstrom   option
pants- Limited
shoes- Ann Klein  similar
bracelet- Kendra Scott
 
After I got this outfit on and wore it a couple of hours, I didn't like it at all. It  just didn't feel right. I'm not sure what it is. Maybe it's the shoes? Maybe the pants- I'm so over these pants and have just purchased a couple of new navy pairs to replace these. This length only works well with lower heels. I've never been a fan of the flare leg either. I love a good full trouser leg, but I've never been crazy about these. I've styled them multiple times on the blog, because if you work in an office environment, you will likely wear a navy suit or navy pants. I paid good money for them, so I hated to toss them right away. But I've gotten three years of wear from them, so they are going bye-bye. I'm not sure if I will ever recreate this outfit with the new navy pants either. I love the blouse and the blouse and blazer coordinate but I just don't love this. I may however try this blouse and blazer with a red skirt or pants. What do you think? Should I?
 
Even though I didn't love this outfit, I'm sharing it anyway, because this blog is real and this is what I really wear. You will see it all here- the good, the bad, and the ugly. Maybe someone else will love it as we all have different styles and tastes. Maybe someone can take inspiration from it, but make it better. I recently received a sweet comment from a reader thanking me for keeping it real. Thank you for your sweet comment Missy Mackenzie. This is definitely real today, lol.

Fall florals




Top- old- Target  option  option  option option

shoes- Payless  option  option  option
I've been playing around in some Instagram style challenges and doing so has made me realize that I have a very limited number of fall florals. Three blouses to be exact. Hmmm... excuse for shopping? lol. This blouse is one of them. It has an amazing array of colors- red, burgundy and rusts in the mix. I decided to pair it with the rust pants and pull out those shades.
Speaking of Instragram. Are you following me? You will find sneak peaks of things before they make the blog and some things that never make the blog. I'm finding it to be a fun little community too.
