Embroidered Dreams

It's no secret that I'm obsessed with embroidery at the moment. I think out of the last 5 pieces of clothing I've purchased, 4 of them have had embroidery of some sort. So clearly, it's safe to say that I'm a big fan of this trend. And as a big fan, the more embroidery - the merrier. So when I saw this moto jacket and maxi dress on Chicwish, I knew that they were a match made in heaven. I mean, come on! This is what embroidery dreams are made of!

This jacket is so versatile. I can't wait to style it throughout this season! It's perfect with dresses, jeans, skirts - the possibilities are endless. And whew - can we take a moment of silence for this dress? How gorgeous. I love that the sleeves and hem are sheer with just the embroidery detailing. Drama at it's finest.

Seeing Burgundy

Burgundy will forever be my favorite fall color. Followed closely by olive. But this maxi dress is 

a) the perfect burgundy shade 

b) the softest thing ever (duh - it's from the Pure Jill Collection)

c) long and warm and perfect for fall

I love when clothing feels like pajamas and this my friends, fits the bill. It's so comfy and it's thick enough to be warm, but not too thick that you feel like you're wearing a ridiculous amount of fabric. It's perfect with booties for the fall - but I plan on styling it tall boots in the winter!

And of course I added my favorite fall accessories - a good blanket scarf and a military jacket. Shop this look below!

Stripes, Dots, Plaid....Oh My!

In my opinion, you can never have enough pattern in your life. Although I will be the first to admit, mixing patterns can totally go wrong.....I've found when you stick to the basics, everything in moderation turns out just right. Stripes, dots, plaid - the best. When it comes to fall, layers are key! So I love to have a scarf handy anytime I'm heading out for a long day!

This tunic from one of my new favorite boutiques, Wit &Whimsy, is the perfect fall piece. It's long enough to wear with jeans or leggings, and if you're not a giant (such as myself) you could totally wear it as a dress! It has cute little pocket details on the front and is super comfy! 

I topped it off with this perfect military jacket from J.Coda - which comes in both olive and nude! I'm wearing a size large for reference. It's the easiest layering item for fall - comfy, casual and goes with literally anything. I'm wearing the olive - but I am so tempted to get the nude as well! I love grabbing this on-the-go! Because if your weather is anything like Arkansas, it can go from warm and sunny to freezing at the drop of a hat.

Metallics for Fall

Chunky scarves....plaid....booties, you could say I'm currently in fall fashion heaven. I know I've said this before, but I will NEVER get sick of fall fashion! It's my all time favorite. So when I saw this plaid midi-dress with metallic stripes from Maude, I knew it needed to come home with me. 

Best. Decision. Ever. Y'all - this shirt dress is such a good length, and super soft! Plus it can be worn as a dress (as pictured here) or you can style it open as a long kimono! I decided to pair it with one of my favorite scarves and some metallic accessories. Although this shirt dress will be getting plenty of wear this fall, I'm also excited to wear it this winter - it'll be perfect for the holidays!

Biker Chic with Zaful

This is my "biker babe" meets Sandy from Grease look. Hah! There's just something about a leather (or faux in my case) jacket. Put it on, and instantly feel like you're too cool for school. This one is under $40! And of course, top it off with a choker and some geometric sunnies and you're ready to conquer the world.  And the best news - the jacket, choker AND sunglasses together are under $50! Such a steal. Head over to my friends at Zaful to get them! I styled mine with my fave pair of dark flare jeans along with a black tank, but this would look cute over a dress as well! You can also pair it scarves as we head into fall! Zaful has tons of great transitional pieces at affordable prices!

Transitioning to Fall with Chicwish

 Fall is finally {almost} here! I am beyond ready. Love ya summer - but I want boots, layers and pumpkin flavored everything. So here are a few of my tips and tricks to transition your summer wardrobe into fall!

1. Don't underestimate the power of a good maxi skirt (or dress).

2. When in doubt....add a military vest. Layers are your friend! I throw a vest or utility jacket over almost everything in the fall.

3. Stock up on scarves! You can style them loosely with jeans and a tee for an instant fall-friendly look.

4. Last but not least - slowly start introducing darker colors. You can do this with accessories, lipstick or even nail polish!

Happy {almost} fall my friends!

Fall Pattern Play + Lots of Layers

It is finally cooling off here in Arkansas and I couldn't wait to pull out all the plaid in my closet. This buffalo check vest is from Old Navy and is super affordable! Y'all know I love pattern mixing, so I paired it with my striped baseball sweatshirt from J.Crew. And with Arkansas weather - you never know what you're going to get, so I tied a military jacket around my waist just in case! I'm a firm believer that you can never have too many layers during the fall.

I also wanted to share my brand new phone case from Mophie with you guys! Not only does it charge your phone, but it supports a good cause! For every sale of the (PRODUCT) RED juice pack, Mophie will contribute 5% to The Global Fund to help elminate AIDS! It's a win win. Shop this look below!

Mad for Plaid

Okay, it's finally beginning to feel like fall and I could not be more ecstatic! Fall is my all-time favorite season - hot chocolate, fireplaces, crisp weather and pumpkin everything? There's nothing better! So in honor of the changing weather, I obviously had to bring out my favorite fall print - plaid! Who doesn't love a good plaid? I've got tons of plaid shirts (even a vest) - but can you believe that this is my first plaid dress?! Yeah - neither can I! How have I been living without this my entire life? Seriously goes with everything. I paired it with my military vest and booties here - but think how cute it will be with a sweater, leggings and riding boots once it's a little colder! Mine's from http://pureheartsboutique.com/ and will definitely be on repeat all season. Be sure to use code "MUSINGSOFGLITTER" for 20% off your purchase! Shop this look below!

Fall Transitions

Do y'all remember this skirt? I styled it a few weeks ago (check it out here) with a crop top - but today I'm showing you how to make your fave midi skirts fall-friendly. This sweater from Loft is SO SOFT! If they had it in other colors, I would own them all. It's cute with jeans, skirts, shorts - even tied over a dress. So I figured it would be the perfect piece to pair with my TJ Sewer skirt to transition into cooler weather! And to glam it up a little, I added in my Lisi Lerch Tassel Earrings and studded heels. Check it out below!
