So excited to finally have that fall weather back! I officially put away all of my summer clothes and am in fall mode. Even though it looks like the summer weather might be back to play for just a little longer in Portland (i’m kind of ok with it!) But this look is that ideal first of fall weather go to for me. All I need is a good boot and a cozy sweater. This sweater is SO unique too. I love the details and the more boxy fit. It’s so soft too, great for cooler weather.

I’m always on the hunt for the perfect black jeans and I finally found them! I wish I could share a link but I got them during the Need Supply sale (this fit is the Pen fit) and unfortunately they’re gone now! But I found they they are similar to this style from Khaite! Also I just got this pair from Agolde for fall too and they’re a similar high waisted fit! And the denim is sooo soft! These boots also pair with them SO well so be prepared to see a lot of looks with this jean and boot combo.

What I’m Wearing: Top: Need Supply (they went out of business, sorry!), Jeans: NEED via Need Supply (check out black jean styles here and here), Boots: Miista via Shopbop, Bag: Saks Fifth Avenue (found thrifted!)

Start getting your closet ready for fall with some of my favorite fall must haves!

  1. Coats!! Literally my favorite thing about fall especially puffer coats and plaid/blazers
  2. Boots! Like I said above, I love a good go to boot and jean combo. Make sure you have a favorite boot to start the foundation of a good outfit!
  3. Sweaters! Who doesn’t love a good cozy sweater. I’m loving oversized, flannel style sweaters this year too

First off I want to say I hope everyone on the west coast is staying safe. It’s been a crazy past few days here in Portland. The air quality is SO bad and I have been making sure to stay home as much as possible. It’s so disheartening seeing all of the homes and environment destroyed here in Oregon and all along the west coast. We’re praying for rain over here.

There’s no easy way to ease into talking about clothes and fashion from that but fall weather is creeping up here and I am honestly looking forward to cooler temps for a bit. These knits from Carven are ideal summer to fall pieces. Light enough to wear with jeans or trousers but also great to layer under coats as it cools down even more.

I hope these looks inspire you a little bit as the weather starts to cool down. Is it still warm where you live?

What I’m Wearing: Knits: c/o Carven, White Denim: & Other Stories, Slacks: & Other Stories

I’ve decided to start sharing more of the in between outfits. The ones I’ve been wearing around the house to stay sane and inspired during quarantine. This is one of those outfits that I would love to wear but don’t really have anywhere to where it too. I found this insanely beautiful green top while thrifting yesterday, and even though I’m pretty sure it’s a mens shirt from the 70s and 4 sizes too big, I love it. It reminds me of something super modern from Lorod too.

The pants were another thrifted find. They’re vintage Levi’s and I almost skipped on them because I thought they would be too small. Turns out taking a chance on them was the way to go. They’re a little snug but I am able to zip them up! Lol and they are literally perfect together!

What I’m wearing: Top: Vintage, Pants: Vintage, Shoes: St. Agni (shop more sandals here), Ring: Wilhelmina Garcia

Try saying that title 5 times fast lol

I’ve been loving the checkered trend just like most people have! I first got this rug for my bedroom and fell in love with the checkered trend ever since. The trend has been popping up even more in fashion and when I saw this top, I had to have it! It’s been a little too hot for an outfit like this but it’s fun to dream of fall and cooler days ahead. Who else is ready to get cozy again in sweaters, puffers, jeans….all the best things?!

White jeans are going to be something I wear after september and into fall. Does anyone even follow fashion rules anymore? I think it’s time we ditch all of them and just wear what we want.

Also in case you don’t follow me on instagram, I had a huge life change recently. Unfortunately, my fiance and I of 7 years, decided to go our separate ways. I ended up moving into a new apartment (I’m keeping both of the dogs of course!) and just taking things day by day. I love this new place and have been taking this time to be single and independent. Anyways, just wanted to share that update especially since you will be seeing my new apartment on here! <3

Styling a Floral Dress Three Ways

Having pieces that I can style multiple ways has been more important than ever to me. Times are tough. So rewearing and restyling something is what I want to share more on my blog going forward. Plus I love sharing different ways to style things because one look might inspire you more than another and I love being able to provide options with you! And I feel like floral dresses are the perfect versatile summer piece.

My mood really is what decides how I am going to style something. For instance, the first look is a little mix of casual and edgy. Pairing the black, chunky sandals with the chain detailed bag is a cool balance against the girly dress. This is an outfit I might wear to a casual hangout with friends. If I want the dress to be a little more comfortable and even more casual, I will pair with sneakers! Dresses and sneakers is one of my favorite ways to bring out tomboy style into my looks.

For the last look, this one is a little more girly compared to the other two and ideal for a date night! I actually asked everyone on instagram which look they like best and the heels and baguette bag won! Let me know your favorite!

What I’m Wearing: Dress: c/o With Jean (Shop more casual dresses here or floral dresses here)

Look One: Bag: The Marc Jacobs Pillow Bag, Shoes: Birkenstock x Proenza Schouler, Sunglasses: RTCO Berlin

Look Two: Sneakers: New Balance, Socks: Vintage, Bag: Georgia

Look Three: Baguette Bag (I don’t remember the brand! But here are similar bags here!) Shoes: LOQ
