Flower Sandals Girl

Shirt: Modcloth, Jeans: Thrifted, Tank: NY&Co, Sandals: Vintage - Ebay, Earrings: Local Handmade

I wore my favorite sandals one last time before packing them in for a long winters nap. I'll miss you! Farewell little sandals! And...I'm going to be lazy in this one and sit in the grass.

Cobalt Girl

 Skirt & Blouse: Thrifted, Heels: Target, Bracelet: F21

 In an attempt to clean out my closet and pack up summer stuff to make way for fall stuff I ran across this skirt. Hmm. Where has that been?! Under that big pile. Oh. I thought I would give it a whirl and paired it with this little silk blouse I got on my yard sale adventure about a month ago. I don't get to yard sales as much as I would like. I means getting up early and I just always give into sleeping.

Since I'm kind of a petite girl and definitely pear shaped, I like these types of skirts. Why? Well, because I can fake out where my waist really is! Foolery! If you are shaped like me then the next time your at the thrift store, grab a skirt like this that might be a little smaller in the waist so you can wear it up a little higher than normal. It makes you look taller and a wee bit thinner!

Shades of Brown Girl

Knit Dress: Chadwicks, Blazer: Forever21, Wedges: Steve Madden, Scarf: Birthday gift from Lauren, Necklace & Bracelet: Silpada (thanks Tracey!)

Have you ever seen this many shades of brown?! Ok, so you probably have. I am embracing the fall leaf colors and opting for some autumnal hues in my day. I didn't think I was ready for this but turns out this outfit actually made me feel pretty good! I thought it might make me a bit on the sad side since I am not wanting to admit summer is over, but it didn't. Whew!

Mod Girl

 Top, Pants: Thrifted, Boots: Madden Girl

The outfit really didn't inspire me very much but I was running late for work and grab an old standby - black pants - and ran out the door. But I tried to do something a little different with hair and makeup. I went with a more mod look with heavy black eyeliner and pink frosty lips. I pulled my hair into a high bun and held my bangs back with a wide headband. I ended up really enjoying it. Next time though, I'm going to ditch the black work pants that have been a staple in my closet since I began working in the corporate world and wear a little mod mini instead!

Little Bug's Room

I love spending time in my little boy's room. It is so bright and cheerful - full of color! Adults seem to get lost in earth tones and all neutrals when we decorate our areas but a kids room is a place to go wild!

Lime Green Jeans Girl

Pants, Blouse, Jacket & Purse: Thrifted, Pumps: Target

I really wanted to incorporate my lime green jeans that I found over the summer into the fall. I paired them with black and a polka dot top to bump up the sophistication a bit. The first time I wore these jeans I paired them with a cropped sweater and kept it casual. This time I wanted to see just what these jeans were capable of! Next challenge: work lime jeans into winter wardrobe.
