Dressing for Fall When It's Still Hot

top (dress version) // skirt // sweater // booties // purse // earrings c/o

Happy Friday! It's hard to think of Fall around here with the temps hitting the 100's and 90's. Okay, maybe I am thinking about Fall. I'm dreaming of it. It doesn't seem like it's anywhere insight, but I sure keep trying. Is anyone else having crazy temperatures, too? And if I can just ask the weather gods to please send some cooler temps because this girl has suffered all summer without AC in her car? Once we got passed August, I thought I survived. And if you're wondering why I tortured myself 1) I worked a place where we parked in a structure (so shade all day) and 2) my drive home was in a canyon (aka more shade).  But now I keep carrying around cardigans and wearing booties mixed in with some of my summer pieces like this top and currently thinking this top could work right now. 

Now, let's flashback to last year's look here. Nothing like stripes, right? 

Thanks for linking up with us last week! We hope you'll join us again! Our picks this week are Amy Ann from Straight A Style and Kileen from Cute and Little!

In Love With M

stripe top (size xs) option for under $10 // bralette // skirt (old, similar) // espadrilles // tote

If you haven't noticed yet I've been on a huge Madewell kick. I know, I know. I'm like years behind on this one. It's funny because I think it's that I actually prefer shopping them online verse in store. But every time they have a sale I have a shopping wishlist that I'm ready to bounce on. This top (talked about here) was an additional 40% off and got it for under $25. Basically, it was near to nothing. It sold out on their site, but you can find some sizes available here. They are having another sale guys and I've been eying these cute shorts, this jacket, and this denim dress. Someone.stop.me. Did I mention that I just got another order from them yesterday? #obsessedalot

Now that you know my obsession, we can flashback to last year's look here. This is one of those dresses I bought on a whim and ended up being a dress that I put on when I want some compliments. Does anyone else do that? Because we all those days we could use a boost;)

Thank you SO much for linking up with us! There were so many amazing outfits. Our two favorites were Alice from TYPENU and Alicia from Between the Pearls.

Colorless + Linkup

tank // skirt // sandals (old, love these) // tote // aviators

Okay, I can explain. In the past week, we went to Phoenix and Tucson to spend some time with friends. And by went I mean we road tripped. Oh, and we definitely ate! Turns out, I couldn't eat a whole pizza. #sad Then, I came back and started my new job the day after. Oh, my goodness it's great! But....the commute is killing me! And you guys it's closer to home. Like I don't even know how it's possible to take 2 hours each way. So basically blogging has gone to the back burner this past week. I'm trying to get into the groove of things again, so hopefully you can bare with me.

But if you can't tell my brain is a little all over the place. Maybe it's the commute. Maybe my eyes are tired from looking at a screen like 98% of the day. However, this is a look I wore in Phoenix. Also, the only outfit pictures I took. Opps! Basically, it was all basics and colorless. As we haven't noticed but most of my outfits are becoming neutral and basics. It was only till now that the boyfriend realized that everything I wore is colorless. We had a deep conversation about it. Maybe he's on board. Maybe he isn't. But he know's he really doesn't have a choice.

Funny enough, this weeks flashback look is from our trip last year to Phoenix. I almost packed this dress with me, but the neutrals had my heart.

  Thank you a MILLION linking up with us last week! Hope you'll join in this week!

What I Wish I was Wearing

grey sweater // crossbody bag // arrow studs // lip crayon // nail polish in modern love // otk boots // jean skirt

It really is sweater weather in LA and it has me dreaming up fall looks. While I already have this jean skirt (styled here) and love, I'm trying to keep wearing it as temps drop. Maybe it's an excuse to finally take the plunge and pick up those otk boots that I basically cannot stop thinking about. 

Flashback Fashion Friday's Linking #20

floral top // jean skirt (runs large) // tan hat (size medium) // purse (similar) // booties (sample sale find, but love these)

Happy Friday people! If I could hug Friday, I would. In the meantime, let's talk skirts. I don't what it is but I have really been into skirts. Okay, maybe it's because they really are having a moment and all over the internets. I had my eye on another jean skirt in addition to my button down jean skirt. Totally sold the second I put this free people skirt on. It has that good kind of stretch that makes the tush look ahhh-mazing! It does run big in the waist, so make sure to size down. Oh and clearly my latest obsession is this hat! Yup two posts in a row guys. It comes in 3 sizes and super affordable. Take that as a hint that I will be wearing it a lot around here.

And you know what time it is? It's flashback Friday time! You can never go wrong with a jean jacket and dress combo seen here. I have had that jacket for a few years now and wear it all year long. The dress though needs to be pulled out again. I really want to do a more bundled look with a bomber jacket, tights and boots. 

Thank you for joining last week! We love having returning friends and new faces join in each week!

Flashback Fashion Friday's Linkup #13

floral top (sold out, other colors) // jean skirt // tote // aviators

Fri-yay! I just want to squeeze you! I'll spare you all the details, but let's just say it's been one of those weeks. You know the kind where your bank freezes your bank card because online shopping at some UK company called Topshop seems suspicious. Okay, I just spilled it. You guys I can't online shop for a good 7-10 business days till I get my new card. I begged them to let me at least get my Topshop order in. You guys I really am crushing hard on these tassel flats! My shopping carts are full and staring at me. I'm trying to see this as a sign that I should relax on the shopping. #staypositve

But it's Friday and that whole bank situation isn't going to get me down. We have linkup and I can't believe it's already #13! Time sure is flying. Now, let's flashback to last year when I went wine tasting. You can see the full post here. This swing dress is still one of my favorites and love that it's comfy (aka loose so I can eat as much as I want)

Thank YOU for linking up last week! We hope you'll join Jessica and I this week. We get excited to see your outfits and posts!
