Military Chic

via

I have been a fan of army green, cargo, and pretty much anything military style for as long as I can remember and it's definitely popular for fall.  So this trend is right up my alley!  You can get anything from shoes to jackets in this print now.  I decided to go with a pair of jeans with studded detail.  I plan to rock these with black patent pumps, a heather gray tank/t-shirt and a black blazer or I may even switch it up and rock them with my gray suede pumps and a black tee...decisions, decisions!

Studded

I'm not usually a fan of a lot of embellishment, but I've been drooling over these studded items!

The Leather Peplum

Top (here), Jacket (here)

A leather peplum top is an absolute must have for fall...you can easily pair it with a pencil skirt or skinny jeans and instantly have a sexy, edgy, girly look.
And this jacket!!!!!!!  I have had my leather bomber jacket for many years now and still absolutely love it, but I mostly wear it with jeans or pants.  Although I have been tempted many times to rock it with skirts and dresses, it just never went well, but I have finally discovered the perfect leather jacket.  The leather and peplum style have just enough edge to be worn casually with jeans and sneakers/boots, but also enough femininity to be worn with a cocktail dress.

Dust 'It' Off and Try Again

I remember being super excited about this skirt when I purchased it...fast forward a year and it was hanging in my closet with the tags still on it.  The outfit I had in mind when I purchased it just didn't work out so well.  I originally thought I’d wear it with a pair of pumps and dress it up, but the material of the skirt just didn't go with the look so I decided I’d have to opt for a more casual ensemble so when I spotted this top in Zara a few weeks ago, I knew it would be perfect!  It wasn't just a plain cotton tank, it had detail that I knew the skirt needed so it wouldn't look so boring.  My wedges and orange clutch were the perfect additions...this is now one of my favorite outfits!  Lesson here - if you love an item and your original outfit idea doesn't pan out, give it another chance, you may end up loving it even more :)

White Hot

Love!  Love!  Love this blazer!  I need this in my life asap!  It's all in the details...collarless, crop back and white!  

A new wardrobe staple...it's a combination of 2 classic pieces - a white button down and black blazer in one with a modern twist!  If you're equally as enamored as I am, get yours here!

I'm back....sorry for the hiatus.  I was on vacation with my hubby celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary :)  

Our last night in Bermuda/Paradise called for dinner, drinks and dancing so I needed a dressy but comfy outfit.  I am a fan of skirts and dresses when dressing up, but when I know there will be dancing involved, I like to wear pants so I can move a lot more freely without flashing anyone :)   So I wore these pink silk (pajama style) pants, a white top and my favorite shoes from last summer.  These were my pop of color with every outfit last year.  I remembered wearing them with a pink dress and thought they'd be perfect with these pants.  I love the combination of the pink and blue!
