Happy Monday all!
On Saturday I started packing up my Spring/Summer clothes (bummer!) and unpacking my Fall clothes. It was fun taking out my Fall clothes and seeing what I have. This time last year I was completely at a lost for how to wear my clothes, but now I’m excited about trying new combos. My outfit today is one of those experimental combos. While it’s not earth shattering or avant garde, its different for me. I’ve had this purple Gap v-neck sweater for almost 3 years and would only pair it with pants. I decided to wear it over my favorite JCPenney dress that I wore here. I added my ASOS Curve skinny bow belt to complete the look. I’m a huge fan of booties, so this was an opportunity for me to break in my new Bandolino suede booties. While the heel isn’t high, its narrow so needless to say I had a few near slips in the hallway at work today!
Have you unpacked your Fall clothes yet?
Have a wonderful evening!
Dress: JCPenney
Sweater: Gap Outlet

I can totally understand. I started on Saturday and got pooped after an hour!
Yes! May fall wardrobe has been out for a month. It’s the power of wishful thinking, lol!
I love how you threw the sweater on over the dress. Kind of a 70’s retro vibe. Love it!
Author
Yes, I was thinking 70s too! See great minds think alike!!!
Great outfit! Isn’t it wonderful to look at clothes through the eyes of a fashion blogger?!
Author
Yes! I feel like a whole new world of possibilities has been opened to me. Im not afraid to try and wear new things.
You look beautiful!
Author
Thank you so very much! 🙂
Oh I love it! I wouldn’t have thought of that!
Author
I was looking to do something different with my dress & decided to see how it looked. Im glad you liked it!
I love, love, love the look of a floral skirt with a pretty fall sweater, but never thought to pull a sweater over a dress! Very cute idea!
Author
Thank you! Its a great way to get different usage of your clothes. Turning a dress into skirt is something I plan to keep doing!
Such a cute look! Love the sweater over the dress, I definitely need to try that when fall finally comes to Texas. 😀

I cant wait to see how you rock your sweater & dress combo!
Fabulous look you have going here … we’re on opposite hemispheres so I’m unpacking spring/summer clothing, but thanks to all you northern ladies, I have lots of inspiration filed away.
Enjoy the season.

Thank you! I wish I we were experiencing Spring/Summer again! I cant wait to you use you as Spring/Summer inspiration for next year!
Cute! Here in the South we’re having alternating Fall/Summer weather. Pretty soon we’ll be running the heat at night and the AC during the day. 🙂
I have been experimenting with wearing my favorite cargo pants with wedges and boots instead of Topsiders and sandals as a nod to cooler temps.
Author
Your experiment sounds fun! I bet the cargo pants look great with the boots!
Girl you look GORG in purple. It is the perfect color for fall and I’ve seen so many beautiful hues of it on the runway. Honestly, I don’t put away anything but my sweaters during the warmer months so that’s all I have to pull back out. In the winter I don’t put away anything form summer, I just layer it up! lol Hope you are well my sweet cyber-friend! Kiah

Thank you hon! I love purple & cant wait to wear more jewel tones this Fall. Thank you for coming by my blog! You know I absolutely LOVE your style!
LOVE it!!! What a fresh, colorful spin on a classic look, and the tied neckline is right on trend. Ahhhhh, how I adore Bandolinos. It seems like I end up buying every pair of Bandolinos that I ever try on at Ross.
Author
I agree, Bandolino is addictive! I own several pairs myself. They are comfortable, stylish & reasonably priced.
unpacking winter clothing is like meeting old friends! although i am running out of room for my clothes (i should be honest, i have no idea where i am going to put them!) – i love your outfif – the pussy bow and a v neck (sounds like a drama show!) and your booties are gorgeous x

Thank you so much! I like layering & look forward to wearing different combinations!
Super cute look. Is that a vintage dress? If you love vintage, you have to check out my Etsy shop. We’ve got a great selection of plus size vintage clothing. If you do check it out, it would be great if you could mention it in your blog.

Thank you! No the dress isnt vintage. Its a dress I bought at JCPenney years ago.
I will definitely check out your Etsy shop & give you a shout out!
G, OMG, I love this look on you!! I’m about to try out this look myself.
Author
Yes!!! I want to see you rock these colors!!!
Too cute, and so ladylike. I’ve been wondering when the tights and hose could come out. I guess now’s as good a time as any, huh? I’m so excited to really bust out my fall clothing. I’ve already worn some blazers and cardigans, fall flats, and a khaki corduroy skirt… But I want to wear my brown thrifted sweater dress and boots and tights and things!
Author
Thank you! Seems like Fall is your favorite season!
It’s definitely right up there! I do also really love winter, lol. I really enjoy the colder months. =] It’s also when my favorite holidays take place.

While I hate Winter, I agree, it has the best holidays!
