Grey's Fan

It's official. Tennessee weather is more confusing than Arkansas'. When I took these photos, it was 50 degrees outside....and now its 80. Like, what? But thank goodness for layers! This grey trench coat is so luxe and beautiful. Which, coming from J.Jill is exactly what I expect! It's the perfect neutral for all those fall and winter outfits! But it does run a little big, so size down. I'm wearing a medium here and could probably have gotten away with a small. But, I do like having a little bit of extra room so I can wear bulky sweaters underneath without feeling like a sausage. I also snagged this beautiful blush sweater - again, perfect neutral. Bonus, it's super soft and cozy. This sweater will for sure be a staple in my closet all fall!

I love adding bold accessories to neutral outfits. It's one of my favorite ways to make each outfit feel new and fun. So I finished this look off with these gorgeous fan earrings from Maude. And then topped my favorite bag off with this gorgeous scarf that supports the compassion fund! 100% of proceeds from the purchase of this scarf will be donated to community based organizations that directly help women in need.

Happy shopping!

Most Transitional Summer Piece

This jumpsuit from my favorite little boutique, Shop Maude, is 70's inspired summer perfection. I am so in obsessed. But even better is the fact that it's going to be the perfect transitional piece for fall. Can't you just envision this with a military jacket thrown over the top? Perfection. AND you can wear this piece with or without the off shoulder ruffle - on hot days, I've just been styling mine as "strapless" and not pulling the ruffle over the shoulders.

It's the prettiest dusty rose/rust color which is flattering on any skin tone. It's a silky material making it pajama comfortable. But fair warning - this fabric does get pretty wrinkly, especially in the heat. I'm not a stickler for that, so it doesn't bother me! But if you like that freshly pressed look - this fabric may drive you nuts.

And let's take a moment for these sunglasses. Like, how gorgeous are these? They come in several colors (I'm wearing the orange) and are pretty oversized. Definitely a statement, but they're so incredibly retro fabulous, I think I need every single color.

Back to Basics

Back to basics today on the blog. Is there anything better really? This is my go-to weekend outfit when I need to look cute, but still want to be comfy enough to run errands. I pretty much live in jean jackets recently (in case you haven't noticed) - so that was a given. I've literally been leaving one in my car because you can always throw it on; they go with everything! My current fave pairing with denim is stripes. I know...another shocker. But seriously y'all, you can't EVER go wrong with a striped dress. This one is from Shop Maude. It's perfectly lightweight and flowy which makes it awesome for the summer months, but I will warn you that this one is a little sheer - but nothing that a good slip can't fix! 

I'm from Fayetteville, so I couldn't resist snapping up this Fay hat as well! Perfect for second day-hair, or for those days you just aren't feeling it. Finally, I threw on my white Keds. Granted, I'm slightly biased as I interned fro Keds - but being totally real they're just the best shoes for running around! Still super cute, but also super comfortable. I call them my "fashionable sneakers" because they feel like tennis shoes without all the bulk.

Cropped Floral Jumpsuit

Okay....I felt WAY too cool in this outfit. But I mean - c'mon. It's a cropped floral jumpsuit! Every time I put this on, it never fails to make me feel super trendy.  Leave it to Maude to always have the perfect pieces to fill my (closet's) heart's desire. It will be gorgeous by itself when it gets a little warmer out - but for now, I'm perfectly happy to style it with a leather bomber. I know some people out there hate styling navy and black together, but I think they compliment each other well. Plus, I'll take any excuse to throw a leather bomber on, let's be real.

Mellow Yellow Layers

It's been so incredibly warm here - it was 80 degrees this week! But regardless, I'm not quite ready to jump into a summer wardrobe yet. So, of course, I've been wearing all of my jackets non-stop to slowly begin the transition to spring. 

Layers are always my best friend when it comes to (what seems like) the ever-changing weather. This dress from my fave boutique, Maude, is one of the easiest pieces to layer. You could pair it with tights or leggings, a jean jacket or moto jacket (like I have on here) or just wear it by itself. The possibilities are endless with a good staple dress. AND this dress comes in a pretty blush color as well! Pretty sure I need them both. Shop this look below!

Is it Spring Yet?

Pink? Ruffles? Flowers? Check, check, check. Pretty sure my 5 year old self loves this dress just as much as my 24 year old self does. I am in love with this pretty blush number! It's from my favorite local boutique, Shop Maude. Not only is it fun to twirl in (obvious bonus) but it's perfect for spring - which will be here before we know it! It is spaghetti straps, so you could easily wear it on it's own, but while it's still a little cool out, I'll be wearing mine with a denim jacket! 

And little tip - I was browsing through Anthropologie's website the other day and low and behold I saw this very dress....for $60 MORE! What? That's nonsense. Grab this beauty for a steal while you can here!

I also wore my hair up in a milkmaid braid (so easy - just two braids pinned up) which I find is a perfect pair for jean jackets, or really anything with a collar. I find that wearing your hair up with collars always makes it look a little sleeker. And of course I pulled out my favorite pair of statement earrings (yes...I have them in multiple colors).

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!
