Fall Colors And A Fitness Issue

Hi Lovelies!

The colors are here. Well, sort of…they are starting to show at least! There is a red tree down the street from me and lots of yellow ones popping up all over! Eek! Who doesn’t love a little bit of fall color?

Get The Look:

Sweater: Charming Charlie, Tank top: Forever 21, Pants: New York and Company, Clutch: Charming Charlie, Scarf: Charming Charlie, Shoes: Payless Shoes

I really do love fall, especially here in Texas where you can have 65 degree days AND 85 degree days:) But, is anyone else having issues trying to work out with this whole time change thing? For some reason it has been SO much harder for me to get the motivation to work out when it’s dark outside so early. I ran 2.5 miles around my neighborhood last night, but I literally had to FORCE myself to do it. Argh! I’ve been doing so well and I cannot let it all go because darkness makes me unmotivated…lol! I’m also thinking about running a half marathon. My best friend and I have been talking about it for a month or so now, and I think it’s about time to take the plunge and just sign up for it. If I sign up for it I can’t back out, right? Right! Now, it’s time for that motivation to come back…..

How do you keep motivated to work out?

Until tomorrow…

Leopard Skirt By Phillip Lim For Target

Hi Lovelies!

It was a moment of weakness…but it was TOTALLY worth it…

Get The Look:
Skirt: Phillip Lim For Target
Top: Target
Clutch, bracelets, & watch: Charming Charlie
Heels: DSW
Sunnies: Chinatown in NYC
Cardigan: Loft

Isn’t it beautiful? I was in Target and there was only 1 left…talk about meant to be!?! I would have to say so! I have SUCH a thing for leopard print (and not just this season, forever) and mustard….well we all know how I feel about mustard!

I’m not sure if you can tell too well in the photos, but this top has tiny gold dots all over it. Tiny, glittery little dots and a Peter Pan collar, what more could a girl want? This is pretty much my new favorite outfit. So much so, that I have worn it 3 times already! This was my outfit for 2 of the Broadway shows we saw in New York City….and I may or may not have worn it again yesterday to work:)

Did you get anything from the Phillip Lim For Target Collection? How did you style it?

Until tomorrow…

A Perfect Mix of Summer and Fall

Hi Lovelies!

Happy Friday! This week went by SO fast I can’t believe it is already the weekend again! That’s one of the best parts of a 3 day weekend…the 4 day week afterwards!

Today’s outfit is a little bit of summer with just the right hint of fall for early September. The shorts and cowboy boots give it that cool summer look that we Texans still need here in the 100 degree heat, but the browns in the outfit give it just a touch of a fall!

I also can’t get enough of this camel necklace. It’s unlike anything I have seen before….everyone has an owl, but who else has a camel? Yeah…I thought so! I also had a man point out to me that it should be my hump day necklace because of that commercial with the camel. I will for sure be wearing this on a Wednesday next time:)

Get the Look:
Shirt: Target
Shorts: (To be honest, I don’t remember…)
Boots: Francesca’s Collections
Camel Necklace: Charming Charlie
Bracelet & Watch: Charming Charlie
Clutch: Charming Charlie
Earrings: Another vintage piece from my Mother In Law

It is still outrageously hot here in Austin. It has been 100 degrees all week long. I love heat, but I sure am ready for fall to come…I want apple cider and Halloween candy! Is anyone else out there trying to get into the fall feel without burning alive in jeans and scarves?!

Until next time…

One Outfit, Two Seasons

Hi Lovelies!

We are finally past hump day and one day closer to a 3 day weekend! Woohoo! This is going to be an exceptionally grand labor day weekend for me, as this year will be the first in 3 years that I have actually had it off of work! Oh, the joys of working in retail management…thank goodness for 8-5 jobs!

Now, on to today’s outfit! I bought this shirt back in the retail working days, when I bought everything just because I had a discount. I brought it home, I wore it once, and then it sat in green section of my closet for the next 6 months. Luckily, I was searching through my closet this past weekend, after buying the fabulous pink necklace you see below, and I decided that they would go so well together with some white skinny jeans and sandals! The bright pink color and white skinny jeans really helped to bring the deep teal into summer.

The second outfit came from my dilemma I spoke of earlier in the week: wearing white pants after labor day. I don’t have a problem with it, and in order to make EVERYONE else see that the rule is indeed stupid, I decided to show y’all just how to dress white denim for fall. So here you have it, summer fading in to fall:

Get The Summer Look:
Shirt: Charming Charlie
Skinnies: JCPenney
Necklace: Sam Moon
Sandals: Forever 21
Clutch: Charming Charlie
Sunglasses: Charming Charlie
Bow Bracelet: Old Navy
Other Bracelets: Charming Charlie

Get The Fall Look:
Shirt: Charming Charlie
Skinnies: JCPenney
Scarf: Charming Charlie
Boots: Charming Charlie
Clutch: Charming Charlie
Sunglasses: Charming Charlie
Bow Bracelet: Old Navy
Other Bracelets: Charming Charlie
Earrings: Vintage (my mother in law’s)

I hope I have convinced at least one person out there this week that you CAN do white pants after labor day:)

Until tomorrow…

Rules? They’re More Like Guidelines Anyways

Hi Lovelies!

The end of summer is drawing near, so I decided it is time to get my white pant posts in while I can! Although, I have to say, I’m not a strong believer of the no white pants past labor day rule. Especially in Texas, it’s more like a fashion guideline….for those people in the north who actually have fall and winter. Haha!

Pardon the frizzy, awkward mess that it my hair in these photos, it was extremely humid and actually looked like it was going to rain! (It didn’t.) That’s why my hair is actually blowing in some of the photos! What a nice change from the stagnant, hot weather we usually have in August.

I found this peplum top at Target (yes, I realize I have a problem) just before the Texas Style Council at the beginning of August. I wore it to the Lulu’s clothing swap and got a ton of compliments! I like how it is shorter in the front and longer in the back (mullet top!) And we all know how I feel about teal and coral…..
