Happy Hump Day all!

As you know, I love color blocking.  During the Summer it was easy to do but now that Fall is upon us, I was  facing a small dilemma…how do I color block in the Fall?    When I think  of Fall, I think of earthy colors  like browns and oranges.  Not wanting to slip back into the habit of wearing dark colors all the time, I had to find a solution.    While flipping through my latest issue of People Style Watch,  I solved my dilemma. The emergence of  jewel tones have come to my rescue!   After fishing through my closet, I came up with this color combo.    Now I can continue to color block all season long!

What jewel tones do you want to try?

Have a wonderful evening!

A Second Time Around

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!
