Denim Tuxedo

Denim is one of those essentials that you can never have enough. Finding more and more unique denim pieces is definitely my jam right now. When I spotted these cropped ripped jeans, it gave me the feels. But told myself to wait till they went on sale. You bet the sale gods were listening and made it happen! Not going to lie, they are much higher waisted than I normally wear. I'm thinking I would have picked up these one's instead which are an inch lower (short torso problems). But the higher the waist the better, right?! And these are not the pants to wear when you want to eat a lot-lol!

Is anyone already shopping for the holidays? Crazy how we are technically in the holiday season. I' mean 'hello Starbucks red cups' are here. Well, except at my Starbucks for some reason. This year I've been looking for brands that give back for gifts. These friendship bracelets (wearing this and this) are so cute and come in tons of colors and Pura Vida gives back to local Costa Rican artisans with every purchase. Wouldn't they be a nice stocking stuffers? Hopefully, my girlfriends aren't reading this;)

Thank you for linking up! This week our picks are Yana from A Handful of Stories and from Konstantina from K Meets Style!

10 Fall Hats Under $60

Oh, Fall how I love you! Mainly, it's for the layering and all the amazing accessories. You bet I'm a hat girl. Let's face it-you can get an extra dirty hair day in when dry shampoo won't do. Last year, I really came into scooping up a good hat (pictured above). It definitely takes a lot of scouting, but when you find one and on budget it's like finding that extra $20 in your pocket. I recently picked up this one and found a bunch of other one's that have the perfect shape, brim size, and budget-friendly.

Over and over I kept wondering how to handle this weeks election. Nothing but silence. From what you see here on this blog and social (if you follow there), politics don't seem to fit into anything I present. And I rarely have something shock me to the core where I feel utterly numb. There was nothing to post or could I bring myself to fake things (no one wants that). Everyone around me is numb and under this great fog. I'm not trying to pick sides or contribute more fuel to the fire. Because the reality is this is where we are. Change is hard regardless if you want this or not.  It shouldn't be about division any more. Truly, hope for peace and kindness towards one another.

Thank you so much for listening and letting me say what's on my heart without judgement!

Even though I feel a little stuck, moving forward is the only option. So thank you for linking up. We loved Sarah from Trendy and Tidy and Roxanne from Glass of Glam!
