CLASSY SASSY

plaid shirt anchor skirtPre-fall, spring

Plaid, Anchors, and Pearls

September 3, 2013

Hello, lovelies!

I hope everyone had a fun but restful Labor Day weekend (and maybe enjoyed the sales a little bit, too!).  If going back to work today is a little difficult, just remember that it is already Tuesday, and tomorrow will be halfway through the workweek.  Don’t you just love long weekends?? 😀

I had a wonderful weekend spent visiting my family, which I am sad to say, hadn’t visited in a couple of months!   We went boating and water tubing at my aunt and uncle’s lake house on Saturday (and celebrated my little sister’s birthday), spent Sunday at my other aunt and uncle’s house, and grilled out at my parents on Monday and came home late last night.  Nothing too spectacular or crazy (unless you count the giant spiders attacking my aunt and I on the jet ski!), but it was a great time spent with family.

SO, now that it is September, I am going to attempt to put away some of my bright summer clothes and wear only transitional outfits…I’m trying to persuade summer to make its exit!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shirt: American Eagle (similar) // Skirt: J.Crew Factory (exact, similar here, here, and here) // Shoes: gifted (similar) // Bag: Louis Vuitton // Necklace: heirloom | Belt:  Lilly Pulitzer (sold out) // Watch: Wet Seal (similar)

With this outfit, I am taking the summery nautical theme and adding a plaid button down to give it a fall twist.  Anchor print and anything else that is nautical are two things from summer fashion I do not want to see go, so pairing them with fall colors and patterns, you can keep them in rotation longer.  Some colors that could be paired with this nautical print are creams, camel, mustard would be a great choice, oxblood, etc.

Sorry but not sorry that I’ve been talking about fall fashion so much, I just can’t get enough of it!!  This week, the weather is supposed to be a little bit cooler than the last (no 90 degree nonsense), so you can expect to see me breaking out more of my fall pieces!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, and that your short work week will not be too difficult.  I can’t wait to hear about the Labor Day Sale goodies you all snagged! 🙂

What were some of your Labor Day weekend activities?

What fall colors/patterns would you pair with nautical-themed clothing?

    Haha girl, I am totally with you on the whole wanting fall to be here thing. I am just so ready for sweaters and hot chocolate! But, in Oklahoma we don't get fall until around late October, so I'm not expecting anything until then 🙁
