Walk The Line

So my sister and I took these photos nearly a year ago, so this post has been a year in the making. Somehow I lost this post and it never was posted. Although my looks have changed since this, I had to share these pictures and look! We got a little weird and I decided to add and antler to these pictures and the production came out somewhat like a Lord of the Rings photo. Back to the look... As many of my readers know, I am a sucker for maxi dresses and maxi skirts so I felt the need to share with you all one of my favorite ways to wear maxi skirts in the fall. Pairing a sweater and tall boots with a maxi skirt allows some warmth especially when the chilly fall weather is just starting to become prevalent. 

Sweater: Forever 21 | Bag: Mossimo | Skirt: Beyond Vintage | Boots: Michael Kors 

Once again special thanks to my amazing sister at Climer Photography for taking my pictures, dealing with me, and allowing me to do weird things, like wear an antler as a crown. If you are interested in her work or want to inquire about getting photographs taken, click HERE. 

Until next time-

Follow Your Arrow

It's not quite fall weather yet, so its kind of a personal preference as to how you dress. If you want to embrace your fall wardrobe completely or if you want to spend a little more time in summer it's perfectly acceptable in the Midwest. And like Kacey Musgraves song points out, follow your arrow and choose what works best for you! What I like to do is combine fall and summer pieces to make a simple look that I can wear late summer into mid fall. So for this look I combined my combat boots and military jacket with a pretty girly lace dress and my awesome sister let me borrow her amazing boho leather bag. This is one of my favorite ways to transition between summer and fall with jackets and boots over summer dresses!

olive you

Olive all my blog followers and I LOVE the color olive! As the days of warm weather days are numbered and the fall days are slowly creeping in... While the weather is still warm and the evenings are starting to cool down, it is the perfect time to pull out your favorite maxi dresses and layer them with jackets and scarves. This summer, a local store went out of business and I was able to snag this great olive/military green maxi dress before it closed.  It is a great transitions dress not only because of the color but because of the weight and the cut. Now, yes the dress is low cut but it can easily be changed by adding a bandeau beneath it and a jacket and/or scarf over it. It is a great outfit for this pre-fall transitional weather! 

Dress: Audrey | Necklace: Urban Outfitters | Denim: American Eagle | Shoes: Mossimo 

What are some of your favorite ways to style a summer maxi dress for fall and pre-fall weather? Special thanks once again to my fabulous sister at Climer Photography for putting up with me and taking all of my blog pictures! Keep Checking back for new posts each week!

twenty-one

So we have finally hit a patch of slightly cooler and more pre-fall weather. How did I choose to dress in this less sweltering heat you ask?? I chose my go to traditional white after Labor Day piece. My weakness, my white forever twenty-one blazer in addition to a classic white silk tee shirt paired with a pair of destroyed denim shorts. I absolutely adore a classic white look with small hints of black in the sun glasses, cuff of the blazer, jewelry, purse, and shoes. It creates a cleaner look to the relaxed summer ease to transition into our pre-fall temps.

Bang Bang

The temperature just keeps rising and with that, the less clothing the cooler you stay. So how else to you stay cool while looking classic and effortless this weekend? A great way to keep classic looks is to find some of your favorite pieces that are black and white and add a pop of color. After taking these pictures the other day Mattel's Barbie showed a look on Instagram super similar which was just too ironic for me to not post my look this week as well. If you also grew up playing with Barbies and got a small amount of your love for fashion from her, then this look and her account may be something that you will love just as much! In this post my shirt, bag, and shoes have all been featured before. The shoes most recently in, "Ain't it fun?" top was previously in my "Destroyed Series" bag in "Mid-Week Moody."
