I’ve always loved matchy-matchy looks and have never been great at “not” matching on purpose. And now that is finally working in my favor! This may look like a dress, but it is actually a separate tie-neck blouse and flirty flounce skirt. I LOVE love LOVE it as a dress but am SO excited to pair this blouse with my favorite flares for Fall. And the skirt will be perfect for date night with a silky camisole and blazer. I thought about photographing all three looks and doing a three ways to wear feature and then I went outside in the blazing heat and decided not to have a heat stroke instead. LOL.

When I was on the hunt for the perfect dress for opening day, I pulled at least twenty dresses into my fitting room. This dress was one of them. While I knew it probably wasn’t exactly what I was looking for for the big day, I knew it HAD to come home with me.  Everything by Flynn Skye is so feminine & romantic…definitely one of my favorite brands!

I am NOT ready for Fall just yet so instead of stocking up on the usual darker hues & heavier materials, I’ve been adding pieces to my wardrobe that can easily be transitioned to Fall with minor adjustments! And as luck would have it, I recently partnered with Banana Republic to share a couple of my “almost” Fall favorites! First up, I immediately fell in LOVE with the neckline (and color scheme) of this tank. I don’t own anything like it! For Summer I paired it with cream shorts and these nude heels. But come Fall (and cooler temps), I will be pairing it with my favorite skinny jeans, my cognac leather jacket and some taupe booties. Or I may just wear these same heels again! I feel like I haven’t been wearing heels as often as I used to but these are SO comfortable that I can promise you will be seeing much more of them here on the blog! So tell me friends…are YOU looking forward to sweater weather already or are you dragging your heels like me?

P.S. If you are loving this tank as much as I am, you can snag it now for less than $30! Hurry…they are going fast! Also, for anyone curious about sizing, I would say that both the tank (I am wearing a size small) and the heels run true to size!

I LIVE for the Summer months but I have to admit I have a spot soft for Fall colors. I recently bought this tank and skirt and was so excited when my new Cu Totes bag arrived and matched perfectly! A friend of one of my besties (of over 20+ years) has a gorgeous line of handmade totes/clutches and she surprised me with this one. Seriously…you HAVE to check out Cu Totes. I guarantee you will fall in love! I’m already eyeing this clutch for my next purchase!
