Hello Monday!  Fresh starts to the week always leave me so inspired and ready to reach for new goals.  When affordable closet picks are a part of that equation, it's always a win-win.  Okay, so here are my latest go-to's that work effortlessly as we begin the slow transition from summer to fall (hello khaki, black and animal prints).  And all of them weigh in at under $100!  This floral dress is so pretty and flattering on absolutely every body type.  I'm loving this block heeled ankle cuffed sandal in this gorgeous cognac shade that you can wear right now with whites and creams and again later with early fall hues  like this skirt.  Straw accessories are what we all want and need this moment.  This straw bag is the most versatile piece I own and it is what I reach for whether I'm wearing shorts and a cute tank top (love this one) or a pretty dress.  A great 
statement earring, fun shoe and beautiful pair of sunshades round out my money saving must-haves.  Making your wallet work for you with budget friendly picks like these is the best way to start a Monday.  Don't you think?  Haha, have a great one everybody!

Hello everyone...Happy Monday!  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  Mine was filled with moments of making the best of the rest of summer.  One trend I'm not at all ready to let go of is the off the shoulder look.  This style hit the scene last year and just completely caught fire this spring/summer.  I absolutely adore everything about it.  This gingham version is quite possibly my favorite of all.  I mean it just doesn't get any cuter.  At all, haha!  Pair it with shorts and sandals now and with denim and booties later.   I also think this version is the perfect transitional piece to wear now and wear later.  I especially love the olive green color (have you noticed it's turning up everywhere this fall?!)   know I couldn't be happier.  When you love a look this much, of course you tend to want to buy it up in all  styles and colors.  You can shop some of my other favorites in the links below.

With unofficial end of summer just mere days away, I'm rounding up the best pieces to put together for the perfect season ending look.  Layering warm weather pieces with autumn favorites creates an unmistakable page-turning look that can take you anyway from here.  I tend to build mine around one or two simple yet stellar pieces that can pair with others or stand on their own.  This gingham blouse is classic and timeless which is the reason why it works so well in so many scenarios.  Instead of putting it with summer's white shorts or cropped pants, I'm matching mine with this scalloped hem skirt and navy blue hunters.  Layer the look up a bit with a great silk scarf and this gorgeously soft cable knit sweater I can't wait to wear.  The color, the feel and the classic preppy essence are each amazing.  I'm also loving this ladylike bag that's pretty much on the top of my wish list right now and these pretty little planners that will keep everything I need right at my fingertips.  If summer must go, why not send it off in style?    You can shop the look in the thumbnails below.  Hope your Monday is off to a wonderful start!

It doesn't take a fortune to build a chic and fashion-forward wardrobe.  All it requires are the right staple pieces and a great eye for what works.  Today I'm highlighting one of the most classic options you need to make your wardrobe work for you…THE BLOUSE.  From crisp and clean to preppy and playful to effortlessly chic and stylish, the blouse has always been a favorite go-to for women throughout the fashion decades.  I have many styles I personally covet and continually reach for, no matter the occasion.  From lunch meetings on workdays to casual cool moments off duty, the blouse never disappoints.

Designers have been wonderful at giving us all the possible choices we could want.  We just need to take care of the styling.  Here we go….This gorgeous pick  from Equipment is perfect for wearing with a slim patterned pencil skirt and heels but also works just as beautifully with your favorited distressed denim, a killer belt and sexy heels.  Summer-to-fall is the perfect time to grab a brightly saturated hue like this and pair it with your favorite punchy shorts and even a pair of ballet flats.  Later, half-tuck it into some black skinny jeans, slip into your highest heel and grab this clutch…..ready, set, night out.

You can see what I mean about the possibilities being endless.  This site has some of my favorite styles that I never ever tire of.  I also love these choices for great blouses that fit like a glove {here, here and here}.  

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
