Fall Layers

So...it's already basically winter in Arkansas, but I'm soaking up all the fall fashion I can get. I have a new found love for over the knee boots. They're perfect for when you still want to wear a dress - but it's freezing out. Plus, this pair is super comfy {and won't break the bank which is always a plus}.

For me, layers are a necessity in the fall. I'm hot one minute and freezing the next. This corduroy shirt dress is literally the best! You can wear it by itself or wear it open and layer it with anything. Plus, it's a great neutral color, so it goes with everything! When I'm running out the door, I can grab it whenever I think I may need a jacket later. It was the perfect pair for this lace-up dress. It's short sleeve - but it's pretty thick! Which I love because it's not clingy and it's heavy enough to hang well. Both of these dresses are from my friends over at Shop Maude. If you haven't checked them out yet, you're missing out! One of my all-time favorite boutiques.

And no outfit is complete without a little bling. Y'all know I can never say enough fabulous things about Kendra Scott. And this earring/necklace combo is no different. Plus their new line of necklaces have the best clasp ever. You can slide the clasp to make the necklace into a choker, or a pendant or anywhere in between!

Donut Stop Believing

If there's one thing I've learned from grad school so far - it's that I might {quite possibly} be a stress eater. Yes, I know it's horrible, but I've been living off of pizza, oreos and chips for the past 3 weeks. But the all-time best comfort food? Hands down a good donut. So clearly I needed this "Donut Stop Believing" tee! Not only does it feature my favorite food, but it's a good reminder to keep on moving along towards my goal! Grad school is KICKING my butt - but I've realized I've just got to keep my head down and power through! Also, if you haven't checked out Arsenic and Lace yet - you need to! They make this adorable tee and tons of others! Any Gilmore Girl fans out there? They have the perfect tee for you (and me, I'll probably end up ordering one). I'm team Dean forever!

And let's talk about these sunnies for a second. If you're like me - you buy a pair of expensive sunglasses but then never wear them because you're afraid you'll scratch/break them! Well friends, I have the solution! Nectar Sunglasses offers fashion forward sunnies at a price that won't break your bank. So take them hiking, biking, rafting - wherever you want - without the stress! Okay, I'm off to bed (yes, it's 9pm) because like I said, grad school is definitely beginning to take a toll and these 6am mornings aren't getting any easier. Hah! Night all!

Sorry I've been slightly MIA lately, but let's just say graduate school is going to be keeping me pretty busy for the next two years! So although, I'm going to do my best to keep up with the blog - I may not be posting quite as much as I did this summer! It's only week one of grad school and y'all! I'm exhausted already! Okay, but back to fashion. Can we talk about these tassel earrings for a second? Holy moly - I'm obsessed! I officially have two colors (turquoise and white)....and I seriously want them ALL! They're such a fun statement piece! On the downside, I will say that they're pretty heavy. So I personally can't wear them for a full day, I just wear mine to church or events here and there so I don't do any damage to my ear lobes! And although this outfit is fairly "4th of July" themed - I loved the navy and red paired with the bright turquoise! Y'all know I'm typically a stripes kind of girl, I've been loving gingham this summer! My dress is from Two by Vince Camuto, but sadly it's sold out! So I linked similar below!
