Dressing A[cross] The Seasons

Day by day, fall is sneaking up on us, and as din posted about that summer chill, I definitely am starting to see that in our upcoming forecasts. 

One of my new pieces I'm so excited about, is this sheer cross dress. It's so lightweight, that on a hot day I can wear a lacy bandeau and skirt under it, or as it really gets chilly, I can wear a longer sleeve, and leggings or jeans. What do you think about the way I styled it here?

[ Summer Evenings ]

Summer's winding down-- at least for me. Trying to enjoy being outside as much as possible before fall soirée season roars in. I think I'll take a day trip tomorrow-- hmm, where should I go..

I can still hear the tune to Tevin Campbell's Strawberry Letter 23. Remember that one? Love it. Every time I hear it, I get a little pep to my step. Just as I do when I throw on an accent color as bold as this strawberry blazer. Add in an eye-catching clutch and I've got the makings for the soundtrack to my runway.

Life can be really hectic and at times make you feel like your going crazy. Just keep in mind, through the stress and madness, you are still in control. The excitement you have for your future is still possible. And that possibility is available now.

Because you, my dear, are sitting on top of the world.

[ Play Date ]

What better way to have a play date with the sun than a sun hat to offer shade and a summery dress? So grateful to have been out and about this past weekend because the forecast in the DMV is atrocious this week!

You know that feeling when you've been searching for an item for years and finally you just happen upon it? 

Yup, that one.

That's exactly how I felt when I stumbled across this Nine West straw hat at Macy's. Now [even more than before!] I'm looking forward to all the outdoor concerts this summer!

With Summer just around the corner, sandal season is coming upon us. I have been looking for a couple years now for a great black sandal to pop out at me. This year I have finally lucked out with 2 great finds!
