Fall, please hurry up.

So Saturday was a great day for us Texans, we finally got a sneak preview of fall. I high of 68 was so relaxing and joyful. I absolutely love the fall and I am so excited for cuddles and pumpkin spice lattes.

The transition from summer to fall can be tricky though. Do I wear a sweater? Or is it okay to still wear a sundress? Well, my friends, now is the time to experiment with BOTH.

An over-sized sweater is always a go-to item for me. They’re so comfortable yet look so chic. I was lucky and found this one at a thrift store, I’ve had it for years and it is still my favorite! Since it wasn’t super cold, I decided to throw on some distressed shorts. The combination of the sweater and the shorts kept me exactly as warm as I needed to be. Ankle boots are my favorite thing ever oh my goodness. I can’t get enough. They go with literally EVERYTHING ladies, I promise they’re a good investment. I put them on to dress up my outfit a bit and they kept my toes nice and cozy. To finish it all, I layered some gold necklaces and that was it!

This awkward in-between weather is actually the best. It gives you the chance to mix things up and create some unique outfits!

On a side-note: I’m loving the middle part right now, what do you think? It’s nice to change things up a bit. Although, I do feel like Jesus! LOL

Black and White

After a long weekend, I was not ready to go back to school today. But since I was forced to, I decided to dress up a little to make me feel better about being locked up for 8 hours.

Today I went for a basic, black and white outfit. I put on my favorite jeans from American Eagle and a new button-up blouse with a pretty plaid print from Forever 21. To dress it up some more I put on some chunky earrings, and cool d’orsay flats from Nine West.

For hair and makeup, I did a big teased up bun for extra drama and simple eye shadow with winged eyeliner. And of course I had to have a pop of color, so I swiped on some hot pink lipstick (Revlon ColorStay in Muse)!

So in love with this look and how bright my lips look against my simple outfit. Whenever you run out of ideas for clothes, try something new with your makeup!

Summer School

Just because summer is over doesn’t mean that you have to put away all of your cute summer clothes! As fall is coming around the corner, I am squeezing in my last opportunities to wear my favorite summer pieces.

I absolutely love this maxi dress (Marshall’s, $20). It is so beautiful and delicate and it definitely makes a statement. Even though I had to cover up the back of my dress, the front is still just as stunning. The loose cardigan doesn’t overwhelm the dress, and the slouchy shape keeps it relaxed and bohemian. I really wanted the detailing on the dress to pop, so I opted for simple shoes and accessories.

Transitioning clothes into different seasons is simple, don’t be afraid to overstep fashion boundaries.

The Dream of the 90’s is Alive

Yes, it is true. The dream of the 90’s is alive, my friends.

Well maybe that isn’t true.. but for me it totally is.

Yesterday was my first day of my Senior year of high school and I decided to come back with a bang. Recently, I have been OBSESSED with the 90’s. High waisted jeans, flannels tied around the waist, dark nails, messy hair, and of course The White Stripes. So because of this, everything I have purchased for back to school has been 90’s inspired. If I can’t grow up in the 90’s I can at least pretend that I am.

I found this super cute, high neck dress at Forever 21 and I am in love with it. To show off the neckline, I wore my (newly dyed, omg so punk rock) hair in a messy pony and added some over-sized stud earring for drama. A pair of funky black flats and cool stackable rings completed this simple yet totally cool outfit.

I am SO excited about this school year and my new, edgy look.

On another note, yes I know I have not posted in over 2 weeks (gasp!) but, I will now be back to posting on an everyday basis.

What are your fashion inspirations?? Follow me on Pinterest to see what I’m loving at the moment.

So Pretty

The combination of lace and a pretty skirt makes me feel so fancy and girly. Lace is a classic piece and it goes with pretty much anything. I love the blue skirt with this because it is so bright and fun for summer and really adds some extra flavor to the piece. I added ankle strap sandals for a retro feel and that’s all that was needed to complete the look. Not much needs to go into an outfit to make it look classy and chic.
