When it comes to shopping, I am not very good at purchasing items in advance for an upcoming season.  Instead, I am more of a buy now, wear now kind of girl.  So this time of year gets to be a little tricky for me.  While August is one of my favorite times to shop because of all of the amazing deals, summer is also running short on time, so I want to be careful and not purchase things that I am going to have to put away in a few weeks.  So instead, I look for transitional items to add to my wardrobe that I can wear now and wear later.  And this dress is a great example.  I had been eyeing it in a bright pink color for quite sometime, but when it recently went on sale, I ultimately decided to buy it in burgundy because not only can I wear it now, but it will look great layered with leopard, and booties, and jackets and sweaters!

Dress: Nordstrom | Necklace: JCrew (old), this is at the top of my wishlist| Rings: Kendra Scott, Stella & Dot | Cuff: Stella & Dot | Sunnies: Nordstrom Rack (cheapies) | Bag: Alexander Wang | Pumps: Gilt (obsessed! AND they are on major sale for under $25!)

Hope your week is off to a fantastic start!
