I know my Southern California friends are wondering how the heck I am wearing sweaters & jeans in this heat wave but it’s for the LOVE of Fall fashion my friends. Old Navy has SO many cute poncho’s right now that I had to stock up now before they sell out! This geo print poncho is more of a sweater with buttons on the side so you have actual armholes. I wore a plain cream tank under it, but it would also be cute with a thin turtleneck under it when (IF) the temps ever decide to drop.

Outfit Details: Old Navy Geo Print Poncho, Old Navy Rock Star Super Skinnies, Michael Kors Runway Watch, Booties c/o Duo Boots

This wrap poncho doesn’t have armholes/sleeves so it is more like a blanket wrap but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the print. It is also totally reversible. The other side has the same print but it is light gray with the same print in black. Oh, and I finally found the perfect pair of Rockstar Skinnies. I think I’ve been trying the regular Rockstar Skinnies but the SUPER skinnies fit my calves/ankles so much better!

Well, once again we are in the middle of a crazy heat wave so as I type this I am sitting in my blazing hot house (83 in my house right now and 95 outside, no joke!) and dreaming of the day that I can actually wear this sweater without sweating. Don’t get me wrong….I LIVE for warm weather…but I prefer to be on a beach with a book or in the desert by the pool with a mojito in hand!!! But I also LOVE Fall fashion!!! So I am very excited to be styling not one but two looks today from Bailey44‘s new Fall Collection. I immediately fell in love with the Twisted Pair Sweater.  I mean, how could you not? It’s so unique! Although I originally wanted to wear it with my faux leather leggings (as shown on their website), that wasn’t an option so I decided to keep it edgy and wear it over a faux leather detailed drop waist dress and moto boots.

OUTFIT DETAILS: Twisted Pair Sweater c/o Bailey44, Twenty Dress, Demeter Boots c/o Ted & Muffy, Mango Sunglasses, Urban Outfitters Suede Saddle Bag

For my second look, I am wearing the stunning Valerie Dress. You can’t really tell in the pics but the cut-outs actually have a sheer mesh which I love. I don’t normally gravitate towards fitted dresses but I just thought it was so sophisticated and pretty that I had to give it a try. And I’m so glad I did because I was pleasantly surprised with how flattering it is on! Now all I need is for my hubby to take me out to a fancy dinner. For once, I know what I’ll be wearing!

I bought this dress several months ago and of course didn’t get around to wearing it until after Labor Day. So I guess it’s a good thing that I don’t follow fashion rules! Anywho…it is now sold out except for one size (the last time I checked) so I was SO excited when I came across this one (seriously….identical!) to share with you guys. And wouldn’t you know it…it sold out almost immediately! UGH. It even came in black too which I was going to grab for myself. The good news is that F21 usually re-stocks popular items so you can always click on the size you want and request that they e-mail you when/if it is back in stock. Oh, and I bought these shoes forever ago and just got around to wearing them too. I am amazed at how comfy they are! If you can call heels comfy…

Outfit Details:
ASOS Dress
Joe’s Jeans Heels (also available in black!)

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and this year I am participating in Paul Mitchell’s #PinkOutLoud campaign. Paul Mitchell has teamed up with Bright Pink to help educate women about the life-saving power of prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer. You too, can support this great cause and help spread the word by leaving your kiss mark in a creative way on Instagram or Twitter with hashtag #PINKOUTLOUD. Let’s get people clicking and inspire others to join the conversation about breast and ovarian cancer.

A few more ways for you to PINK OUT LOUD:
