Season Specific

I've finally figured out why I pondered the purchase of this top for far too long in the Winners dressing room. A great deal of my wardrobe is multi-seasonal. I like lightweight pants that can be worn alone in the summer or with high boots in the winter when it's more chilly. I also adore thinner sweaters that can be worn year round.

This top, while super pretty, is most certainly spring/summer only! I wore this today to brunch at Moxies with the hubby. FYI: the chipotle chicken quesedilla was so yummy.

Mrs Picky Pants

Sometimes it's just necessary to be picky about certain things - like life partners,  ketchup, and culottes. After ordering and returning a laughable pair of the cropped wide leg bottoms from Zara, I happened upon these on sale at Envy. They are so roomy and comfortable.

Earrings: What on Earth

I'm still thinking about getting them hemmed a few inches higher. What do you think? For those of you who don't know, I'm only 5'3''.

This fall, I plan on wearing these a lot with heeled boots or booties and maybe adding a bold sock.

Last Swing at Summer Style

As hard as it is to face, and as many years passed back-to-school as some of us are, September will always bring about fall clothing. I'm not ready for autumnal style quite yet, but I know the transition is going to start within the next few weeks.

TopShop has some fabulous things in store and on-line this season, including the shorts, sweater, and boots above. I'll be wearing my own brown faux leather shorts bare-legged for as long as possible, and then I'll throw some tights under them. Summer is still getting some attention via the nail polish, pink tinted shades, and punchy lip color. Not to compete with the bright lips, I picked a lovely neutral eye palette to finish the look. 

When does your sartorial brain switch to fall fashion?

The Heat is On

Thanks to a self tanning mishap last evening which needs to be evened out, the dress I panned to wear was swapped out this morning for pants. I cringed at the thought of not having my built-in AC (via dress) on what was one of the hottest days of the year, but these pants were surprisingly cool.

I've had this lacey top for ages but only started wearing it a lot quite recently. It goes with almost everything!
