We’ve been having the craziest tropical weather here in Southern CA. It’s been SO hot and SO humid and then all of a sudden yesterday we had a FULL day of rain. But by the end of the week, we are expecting temps in the upper 80’s again! So as much as I want to start pulling out my jeans, sweaters & boots…it looks like I am going to have to keep trying to put a Fall spin on my Summer favorites.

P.S. Unfortunately all of the items I’m wearing today are sold out or no longer available (well, except the watch & fringe clutch) but I did finally update my “Shop With Me” page to include a roundup of my favorite Summer to Fall transitional pieces! Check it out here.

Oh, and I almost forgot! It’s Wednesday Linkup Day! Please feel free to add your #ootd to the linkup below. All I ask is that you link back to The Stylish Housewife in your post. Unfortunately, brands promoting their online boutiques will be removed from the linkup. I can’t wait to see what you guys are wearing!

OMG you guys…remember how I told you that my husband and I are obsessed with Orange is the New Black? We are on the third season and only have like four more episodes to watch! I am already depressed knowing that we will have to wait until next year for season 4! UGH. So I bought myself this tank as an homage to my favorite show. Not even sure I’m using that word right (it’s past my bed time AGAIN)…but you know what I mean. Also, this month’s Fabletics collection was dance-inspired so think lots of lace, strappy details and romantic prints. Which was perfect for me since I am still loving my barre classes! Have you tried Fabletics yet? You can learn more and/or sign up here.

With this crazy heat wave we’ve been having, there is absolutely NO WAY I am getting anywhere near a blow dryer. So instead of posting pics of me looking like a literal HOT MESS, I decided to share a few ways I’ve worn flared jeans here on the blog. You know, people always say…if you haven’t worn it/them in over a year, then you should get rid of it/them. I will never believe this…hence the reason I am a bit of a hoarder when it comes to clothing…but I digress. Some of the jeans above are new-ish and one of them (bottom left) are probably close to ten years old. All of them are still in my closet but I just added this pair to the mix just last week. They aren’t too flared…more of a modern flare/bootcut. A few of the older styles I have are too loose above the knee and I personally prefer them to be a little more fitted. So these fit the bill. Now all I need is for the temp to drop at least 10-20 degrees so I can wear them!

Yesterday it was 86 degrees in my house and 93 outside. And it’s supposed to be even warmer the next couple of days. On a positive note, I think I may have finally convinced my husband that WE NEED AIR CONDITIONING. I hate to complain about warm weather because I LIVE for sunny days. But I am starting to get just a teensy bit envious of all of the cute Fall fashion I am seeing on the blogosphere! Ssshhhhh…who said that? I think the heat is getting to me. =)

Oh you know, just another casual outfit to run to the store in. Kidding. Actually I was trying on outfits trying to figure out what to wear out for date night this weekend and decided to snap a few pics for the blog. I think we have a winner. Although even when I think I know what I’m wearing for a night out, I usually still end up changing last minute and running out the door with a pile of clothes on the floor behind me. Ha! Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!
