Spotted

I kind of feel like light colored denim has the same stigma as white after labor day.  But this season it’s all about light denim-all year round.  And while I have been all about wearing lighter washes with sweaters and button downs, for some reason, I was having a hard time coming up with ways to style my denim jacket. But thank goodness for Pinterest which inspired me to try it back to leopard.  And I have to say, I am pretty sure this won’t be the last you’ll see of it this season!

Mad for Plaid

I love plaid.  Which is lucky for me, because it’s a key trend this fall season.  And while I am so excited for all of the different ways I have up my sleeve to style this beloved print, right now, I am loving it paired back to leather and chiffon.  A slightly masculine spin on a pretty fall dress, if you will (click here to see how I styled this dress last year)…

Neutrals

I love fall fashion.  And by love, I mean really love.  There is just something so appealing to me about layering on sweaters, cute jackets, and lots of jewelry.  And neutral colors?  Forget about it.  As much as I am a tried-and-true color girl, this time of year, army green and anything in a neutral color palette is what you’ll find me reaching for. Ok, well maybe with a little pop of color…

Blazer of Glory

One thing I feel like I often neglect to write about on this blog is the importance of owning a fantastic black blazer.  I think because I wear them for work nearly every day, I forget that it’s a piece not everyone might own.  But with the weather changing, I am finding that I am reaching for my blazers not only for work, but also to wear as a light jacket back to my favorite destroyed skinnies and a tried-and-true graphic tee.  They really are the perfect piece for so many different occasions and something everyone should have in their closet…

American Eagle Part Three

Happy Friday everyone!  And welcome to the third and final installment of my Bloggers Do It Better feature with American Eagle!  This outfit was my personal favorite of the three. Which should come as no surprise, because as I’ve said time and time again on this blog, there is nothing I love more than mixing something sweet back to something a little more gritty-especially when there is a little (or a lot) of sparkle involved…

Up On The Roof

When the weather cools down, one of the first things I typically find myself reaching for is anything leopard.  And while a lot of times the leopard pieces I wear tend to be shoes and accessories, it’s awfully hard to beat a good leopard top.  Especially when paired back to a fun moto jacket and a favorite pair of skinnies…

Camo Couture

Since I’m heading down south tomorrow, it seems I’ve got camo on my mind.  And believe it or not, camo just happens to be one of my very favorite prints.  Maybe it’s the Montana girl in me, or maybe it’s the years I spent below the Mason Dixon line-either way, I couldn’t be happier that it’s an important print for the season.  Kinda feels right up my alley-especially dolled up a little!

P.S. Can you believe it’s October already?  Holy cow!  Where on earth did the month of September go?

Geometric

I love a good geometric print, but it’s not very often that I’m drawn to one enough to actually purchase and wear one.  I suppose it’s one of those things that just lies outside of my fashion comfort zone.  And to be totally honest, even though I write a blog chronicling my daily outfits, believe it or not, it is still pretty easy to get stuck in a fashion rut.  So I am constantly reminding myself to step out of that comfort zone and try something new.  Even if it’s something as seemingly small as trying out a new pattern…

I would love to hear how you all step out of your fashion zone!  Or if you don’t yet, what is it that feels out of reach?

Hope you are all having a wonderful week!  Thank you so much for stopping by!

Leopard Kicks

It’s no secret that I love leopard.  So I couldn’t be more excited that leopard is really in this season.  And I feel pretty strongly that one must-have-item every gal should add to her closet this Fall is a pair of leopard shoes.  So whether you pick pumps, wedges, flats, or boots, just be sure to find your perfect leopard pair to help take your style up a notch this Fall!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  It certainly felt like fall here, but it was lovely.  I am heading to my Alma mater this Thursday to celebrate Homecoming and my 10 year reunion-and I am so excited that I can hardly stand it.  I am sure it will make this week go by extra slow (of course!).

Vegas Recap

If you follow me on Instagram, then you know that J and I were in Las Vegas last week for a long weekend and a bike race.  We had a fantastic time and spent our days riding our road bikes through the Red Rock Canyon, attending Interbike, doing a little shopping, and (mostly) lounging by the pool.  It was a fun and relaxing few days.  But I have to say, my favorite part was the excuse to get extra dressed up for dinner in the evenings.  And any excuse to throw on a little extra sparkle is a good enough excuse for me…
