Greens on Greens and a Giveaway

Slowly. One by one. I am clearing these green leaf photos out of my drafts box. Because let's face it. Fall is here. And most things are dead by now. And by most things, I mean everything on the Alpine Loop... more on that later. You might remember this diddy from my closet transition post - which, doesn't it seem odd that my fall outfit has a summer backdrop? whatevs... But I loved this outfit too much to not show you the details. So let's do it.

Dress: c\o Lands End \\ Cardigan: Downeast Basics \\ Scarf: Soel \\ Boots: TJ Maxx

And of course, and outfit post isn't an outfit post without a little something extra! I am teaming up with some beautiful women to celebrate in Miss Bree hitting 300 posts. And what is up for grabs? $50 for Etsy. Just in time for you to start your holiday shopping for friends and family... and yourself, duh! Want to know my fave Etsy shop? Well, even if you don't. I am telling you anyway! Chevron and Lace. She makes a ton of baby things, has an adorable fox costume up, and is currently breaking into woman's clothing. I am totally obsessed with her stuff... so much that I just bought a special dress from her. You can look forward to that later though! What would you buy on Etsy? What is your fave shop?

The Giveaway will close on October 30th and we will announce the winners on Halloween. :)

Good Luck!

He Doesn't Like It

I figured it was time to get this outfit out of my drafts for two reasons. First. Leaves aren't green any more. Who am I trying to fool? Second. I learned this weekend that Adam does not like this dress. I tried to wear it two or three different times and every time he would say, "Can I pick out your outfit?" Eventually I just looked and him and said, "Do you not like this dress or something!?" And he said, with the sweetest little smile, "No, I don't." And when I asked for an explanation he said, "I don't know!? There is just something about it..." Well, jokes on you Adam. Because I like it and I will just keep it and wear it went he goes back to Arizona for baseball.

Dress: SexyModest \\ Extender Slip: c\o Fancy Slips \\ Shoes: Target

Bracelet: c/o Lands End \\ Necklace: Gifted from Etsy

And while the leaves aren't green anymore, this dress is still a keeper. Because even though I have turned Adam into a male fashionista (he would kill me for saying that... but fact is fact) this dress stays. And truth be told, I don't care who doesn't like it! Something about that gold chain pattern won my heart. Do you have any items that your friends or husband don't like but you love? Are you going to stick it to the man with me? Or am I a lone wolf over here?

Without a Smile || Giveaway

A long, long time ago I posted about Notes and Knots and said the full outfit would be coming soon. Well here we are one whole month later with the outfit for your viewing pleasure. This has been my favorite casual outfit lately. It is easy, simple, and comfy to all ends. You might remember me mentioning I am a spandex girl before. So add my favorite chambray to spandex and hair pulled back with a cute headband? You have a winner! Like. A serious winner. It is great for lounging and running errands. Then, if you are going out that night or meeting up with a friend throw on some fun flats and a bold necklace and it is transformed from relaxed to snazzy! But in addition to that... remember, you are never fully dressed without a smile! That is a hint, hint to hang around until the end of the post to hear about teeth!

Chambray: Gap \\ Leggings: Walmart \\ Shoes: Forever Young

Headband: c/o Notes and Knots \\ Necklace: Bluebird Bride

Okay. So I mentioned smiles and that forever famous Annie song. My smile is something I take pride in. I work hard to keep it nice. So hard that I pulled out all my baby teeth (ones that weren't even loose) in 3rd grade so I could get braces sooner.. I know. That is is pushing it. But Fast forward after all the braces, dentist appointments, and Crest Whitestrips... this last year my wedding gift from my brother and his wife was a whitening kit for Adam and myself. LOVED it. And today, thanks to Marz Orthodontics you can win your own teeth whitening!

Blazer Love

I've developed a blazer obsession lately. Whenever Adam and I go out to walk the mall, that's right - I said walk the mall because we ain't go no money, I seem to find my way to the blazer section. It could be to do with the fact that last month we had a lesson on being business professional at work. Or it could just be the grown up in me... because let's face it, I am 25 now. And that is a milestone marker. No matter what the cause, I love me some blazers! And beyond that, I love to keep my blazers trendy and fresh with some accessories. When I saw this tassel necklace on Style Lately I KNEW it would be perfect for a blazer outfit. It has just enough flair while keeping it classy.

Jeans: Gap \\ Tee: Gap \\ Blazer: Forever 21

Necklace: c/o Style Lately \\ Earrings: c/o  Le Tote \\ Shoes: Forever Young 

I love shopping at Style Lately because they have a lot of different items at great prices. You can shop their flash deals or their regular store. I have a huge wishlist from their store, starting with the liquid leggings. But like I said earlier, I am a sucker for accessories that help keep my grown up attire trendy. I am loving this necklace too. What about you? What do you gravitate towards at the store? What is your favorite way to keep your outfits young and trendy?

Bringing Flowers With Me

Very quickly the summer colors are turning into golds, reds, and oranges. And so I am embracing the last moments of greens and sun by wearing all my summer pastels one last time before they get packed away. Let me set the record straight, I am an equal color clothing opportunist. They aren't getting packed away because they are pastels, but they are getting packed away because they are summer clothes. And summer clothes don't fly here in cold, cold Utah with snow that reaches into March. But at least I can hold onto some summer with pastel pumps and floral necklaces. What do you think?

Dress: Little Black Fashion Truck \\ Cardigan: Cotton On \\ Belt: Little Black Fashion Truck \\ Shoes: Famous Footwear

Necklace: c/o Our World Boutique \\ Braclet: Miss America Tradeshow \\ Watch: JCPenny

I am all about making my outfits fit all seasons and the necklace is perfect for just that. With the bold flowers and rhinestone accents it works for anything summer, but it is also a great statement piece to wear with a chunky sweater and come boots once fall rolls in full force. So when the flowers are all frozen and gone, I am going to bring the flowers with me! What items do you have that bring spring into fall? Is your jewelry friendly for all seasons? Are you a jewel-tones only for fall or a mix in the pastels girl?
