I think this outfit is full of fall trends: stripes, burgundy, and leopard. The weather is still warm so we don’t have to put away the short sleeves and bare legs just yet. In full disclosure, I haven’t worn this outfit yet but it’s on the lineup for this next week. I purchased the top and skirt on my mini shopping spree earlier this month and this is one of the outfits I put together in the dressing room. I think I’ll add a scarf when I wear it for real this week, since it’s technically fall now and scarves are another awesome fall trend.

If I’m going to wear something to work in an office, my general rule is to throw a blazer on it! My office has a very lax dress code so I don’t have to dress professionally (and a few times I haven’t, I’ve just worn shorts and a tee shirt because it was so hot outside) but I usually prefer to dress less casually when I’m in an office setting. So, to dress up this flowy tank a bit (where I last wore it for a date night) I threw this blazer on it. Adding a completer piece, even if it’s just an unstructured blazer like this one, makes me feel much more put together.

I think this is my new favorite outfit! I love the lace of the tank and the stripes in the blazer and the wedge in the shoe. I wore it to the office and then out for a casual dinner. It was pretty hot out so a few times the blazer had to go, and the outfit looked just as cute without it.

I’m extremely happy that Stitch Fix sent this top because I love the lace-front top trend; it’s so pretty and can be dressed up or down. I had a lace-ish tank before this one but it wasn’t as versatile. So, as soon as I saw this one in my box, I knew it was a keeper even though it was too long in the shoulders and I had to get them shortened. Definitely worth the extra expense! I can see so many different outfits with it both now and in the fall/winter. It’s definitely my new favorite top.

OBLIGATORY FENCE-LEANING SHOT! 🙂

I don’t have a whole lot to say about this outfit except that before I started reading style blogs, I never would have worn stripes with polkda dots. However, I did hear one of the nurses at the clinic where I intern once a week say that he knew “stripes and dots don’t mix” and I had to hold my tongue because, as you can see, sir, they most certainly do!

I thought about wearing my new pink sandals but I didn’t want to go overboard with the pink, so I opted for the white canvas shoes instead. Shorts and Keds definitely take my back to my childhood because I lived in them every summer.

It was way too hot out for a cardigan so it had to go! We were lucky at got these photos in just before it started raining, so it was really muggy out, too. Ugh, sometimes summer is just too much.

This is the charm bracelet Nick got me this past Valentine’s Day and of course I adore it (mostly because I picked it out, hehe). I would like to add an ampersand charm and another ‘n’ charm. Maybe even a c. And maybe a 2 to make it squared!

I call this my “Doppler Effect” shirt because it reminds me of Sheldon’s Halloween costume in one of the first seasons of The Big Bang Theory. The stripes are great, of course, but what really sold me was the crossed-straps in the back. How cute is that? And no color goes with navy better than pink, hence the sandals.

I wore this outfit to lunch, and then to sell an arm and a leg for new tires. Seriously, they’re so expensive but with the amount of driving I do on a weekly basis, car maintenence is very important.  There’s your PSA for the day!
