Fall Flame and Teal

Oddly enough, one of my favorite color combinations for fall is flame and teal:

I think this color is actually being called "Fiesta" this season, but I will always think of it as "Flame" in honor of my favorite corduroy pants ever.


And I will always want to wear it with bright blue:

Especially in the fall.


To me, this is a very "fall" color combination.  It makes me think of bright autumn skies and bright autumn leaves and pumpkins.  Basically, it's perfect for fall.


At least I think so:

Cardigan: LOFT (similar)  Tee: Banana Republic
Skirt: Ann Taylor (similar)  Belt: Target (similar)  Sandals: Camper (similar)

Happy Friday, All!

A Little Dress-on-Dress Action

I haven't been engaging in very creative layering lately.  I usually just add a cardigan to whatever I'm wearing to combat the office AC.  I'm not even sure that counts as layering.  But today's look totally counts:

No cardigans here, just layered dress:

Both dresses are thrifted, the bottom dress is vintage and the top dress is from the 90s, and has a great sketched floral print:

Now, I'll probably be back to layering with cardigans tomorrow, as I do love cardigans and hate AC, but, for today, I went with a little dress-on-dress action:

Black dress: thrifted vintage (see similar below)  Belt: thrifted vintage
Floral dress: thrifted (similar below)  Sandals: c/o LTS (similar)

And I'd probably do it again.

Happy Wednesday, All!

And Pleats, Of Course

It may well be Fall now, but it still feels like summer.  Well, no, that's not true; it's no longer hellishly humid.  But, it's still warm.


Warm enough for star tees and sandals:

And pleats, of course.



In short, the weather is currently gorgeous and I'm getting all the wear I can out of summery pieces:

Tee: Gap (similar) (similar)  Skirt: thrifted vintage
Belt: LOFT (similar)  Sandals: Dune London "Ivanna"

Like star tees and sandals.  And pleats, of course.



Happy Monday, All!

No Nonsense Denim Leggings

I'm wearing white today:

And yes, it's after Labor Day.


The thing is, I received these white denim leggings from No Nonsense, and I like them too much to relegate them to summer wear only.  They are extremely comfortable, and are a surprisingly good length, even after washing.  I got them in XL and they fit snugly, without being too tight.  I will say though, that they are probably better suited for an "apple" shape than someone with a "curvier" shape; there is a bit of a gap in the waist for me.



So, yes, I'm wearing white after Labor Day:

Leggings: c/o No Nonsense  Tunic: Nordstrom Rack (similar)
Pendant: v. old Old Navy (similar)  Vest: Nordstrom (similar)  Shoes: Via Spiga (similar)

Thank goodness there are no rules against that sort of thing, right?



Happy Friday, All!

A Rusty Paisley

As soon as I received my lovely rust-colored boots from Long Tall Sally, I knew that I wanted to wear them with this dress:

So I did: 

And they are, I think, perfect with this dress which is a mix of blue and rust:

A sort of rusty paisley, if you will.

And, if you won't, I will:

Dress: thrifted vintage (see similar below)
Belt: thrifted vintage  Earrings: street fair (similar)  Boots: c/o LTS

Because for my money, a rusty paisley is a good paisley.

Happy Monday, All!
