For many of us, Labor Day marks the end of summer, not only for style but lifestyle as well. With the kids back school, the lazy carefree days of summer shift, as new routines set in. I find the change of seasons to be exciting, an opportunity to re-set, but I am always so sad to let summer go. Last week we had some gorgeous weather and I had the opportunity to wear one of my favorite summer dresses to an evening out with the family. I’m usually not a ruffle kind of gal, but this dress had me the minute I spotted it. The bright colors, cold shoulder silhouette, body skimming (not tight) silhouette and length is everything I love. So in celebration of a fabulous summer, I’m sharing this look – a day I felt radiant, inside and out!

Dress: Adelyn @Nordstrom | Gold Star Clutch @Thredup | Bangles and Ring @Alexis Bittar | Earrings @Gorjana | Lace-Up Sandals @DolceVita| Nails Essie Gel Couture #15 (has lasted over a week on my fingers – not a chip!)

Come Friday, I’m all about relaxed jeans, flip flops and a soft cozy cardigan. And casual doesn’t need to be sloppy. You can easily elevate your casual looks by simply adding a few accessories like a leopard calf hair belt, a statement bag, sunnies or hair accessories.

Speaking of elevating, today’s topic on the blog includes a discussion on 5 easy pieces that will update what you already own, taking your looks this fall from meh to ✨fabulous✨!Link in bio to today’s all new #stylepost on the blog 🔝

Instagram post 2143199228003016189_1440303525 Shirtdress❤️ You gotta love a #shirtdress for its comfort and versatility 👗heck, I even wear mine with pants! I have a few in my wardrobe, but if you asked me which are my top two, it’d be the black one I’m wearing today from #bessandgeorgeclothing - the other would be my denim one.

What pieces do you consider to be wardrobe workhorses in your closet?

Instagram post 2142519460349715239_1440303525 “Dance for yourself. If someone understands, good. If not, no matter. Go right on doing what interests you, and do it until it stops interesting you.” – Louis Horst

Same goes for fashion...wear what you love, who cares what anyone else thinks? You weren’t getting dressed for them anyway 😜

I feel like a boho princess every time I wear this #dodobarordress ...outfit details, including deets on my clip on hair extension 🤔 can be found on today’s edition of #fridayfavorites #ontheblog 🔝 link in bio🔝

Do you have an outfit, look or accessory that makes you want to dance whenever you wear it? Do tell! I’d love to know!

It may be officially fall, but you’d never know out in these parts 🥵

#StyleTip : try wearing wear-now silhouettes in fall colors and heavier accessories for a transitional look. 
Outfit Deets:
Dress #zeromariacornejo 
#snakeskin mules #Nordstrom
Necklace: vintage for the ladies over at the #thriftedchicstylechallenge 
Sunnies: Kate Spade

How do you transition to #fallstyle when the weather is not playing along?
