Ten Fall Trends

Today I'm sharing 10 Fall 2017 trends and how I feel about each of them. I typically am not one to explore crazy trends, but I can definitely get behind many of the trends that are happening right now! However, there are also several on this list that I am not so sure about...

1. Statement sleeves- 100% YES! Ruffle sleeves, bell sleeves, balloon sleeves, tie sleeves... I love them all! Outfit details: Bell sleeve tunic // Leggings // Boots

2. The color red- I like red! This trend isn't that crazy, but I honestly don't have much red in my wardrobe. However, I did just get this red dress because I thought it would be perfect for the holidays! I got it from a boutique in Memphis called Indigo. The following link is to Nordstrom because Indigo does not have it online. It is the same dress though! Outfit Details: Dress // Shoes (32% off) // Clutch // Earrings // Bracelets

3. Velvet- I'm not so into this one. Other people look cute in it, but it's not as much my style. Ok, so I wrote this caption before I searched for velvet things. My opinion has changed. I now like several velvet things, especially the Tory Burch bag and Sam Edelman shoes below. I'm still not crazy about velvet clothes, but I guess I can get behind certain velvet shoes and handbags.

4. Victorian detail- I like more moderate Victorian details. I think Victorian necklines can be very pretty. However, I have discovered that many Victorian style pieces are WAY out of my price range and some are WAY too eccentric for me. For example, the first dress pictured below is $2,005. Disclaimer- I do not like all of the pieces I am sharing below, just trying to give an overview of Victorian details. I do like the second and third items I linked though.

5. Florals- I am so picky about florals, but I do love this floral dress!

6. Ruffles- YES times 4 billion. I love all ruffles. Outfit Details: Dress // Crossbody Bag

7. Metallic- I like some metallic clothing, but I cannot pull off the shoes.

8. Pearl embellished everything- LOVE! Ok, this trend actually did the opposite of what several other trends did to me. I really loved the pieces I have seen several bloggers post about. They look so cute in their pearl embellished jeans and pearl embellished booties. However, the more pearl embellished pieces I found, the less I loved it. I still like it, but I don't love it like I initially thought I did.

9. Asymmetrical details- My opinion varies so much in this category. However, we do all love this Free People top that has an asymmetrical hem.

10. LEOPARD PRINT! If you read my post last week, you are well aware that I am loving the leopard print trend. If you missed it, click here to check it out! Or you can click here to go to my leopard print dress shown below!

What do you think about these trends? I think ruffles has to be my number 1 favorite. But statement sleeves and leopard print are right behind ruffles! Thanks so much for reading! Have a great day!

Old Navy Try On Session

Y'all, I went to Old Navy yesterday, and they have way too many cute fall things! And more good news- everything is up to 50% off for the big fall sale! I tried on quite a few items and only ended up buying 3 of them (this blanket scarf and this tunic in 2 colors) because #budgeting. However, I now have a list of so many fabulous things that I want!

Details of the outfit I wore to Old Navy: my favorite Old Navy tunic that I have in 9 colors // my favorite leggings that are so comfortable // my favorite new wedges that are $33.99 and like walking on clouds // crossbody bag (clearly the theme of this outfit was comfort)

Long and Lean Tunic- The first thing I tried on was this tunic that I mentioned above (and have in 9 colors and actually wore to the store). I clearly do not need another one. However, they now come in a luxe material that is so soft and comfortable. If you don't have one of these, I highly suggest it! The length makes it perfect to wear with leggings or skinny jeans! And it comes in several different colors.

Relaxed Soft-Washed Classic Shirt- The name says it all. This button-down is so soft and classic. I'm loving the colors of their plaids right now.

Relaxed Soft-Washed Classic Shirt 2- I tried it on in this print too because I have the dress version of this windowpane shirt, and I love it! 

Puffer Vest- I knew I had to try this on as soon as I walked in. It makes so many outfits so much cuter. It's also fleece lined and very warm. It comes in 5 other colors if pink is not your thing. However, pink is my thing, and I really like the blush pink option too. :)

Quilted Vest- Everyone needs one of these for fall! It's such a cute layering piece that is lightweight and will not make you too warm. This one comes in 5 other colors too.

Long Moto Jacket- This is one of those nice, thick jackets that should be pricy, but because it's from Old Navy, you can get it for a steal. My store had it in black and red, and I just saw that it also comes in a pretty blush color, and oh my goodness, I love it even more!! This is a great quality coat for a fraction of the price of most nice coats.

Plush Turtleneck Tunic- This tunic will be my uniform this fall. I LOVE THIS! The all caps were necessary because I can't express to you in text how much I love this tunic. It is SO soft, the perfect length to wear with leggings or skinny jeans, and such a cute style! 

Plush Turtleneck Tunic 2- I tried it on in this pretty wine color too. However, I actually ended up buying the green one pictured above and a charcoal gray color that I did not get a picture of. It comes in 6 colors, and I want to own one of each. I will definitely get my money's worth out of this cute tunic!

Blanket Scarf- I have never owned a blanket scarf, and when I saw this, I knew I had to get it. I absolutely love how chunky it is, and I love the colors. Don't you think they are perfect for fall? It comes in 13 other prints too, and I love so many of them!

Stevie Ponte Knit Pants- Have you heard of these?? They are called pants, but they feel like extremely comfortable leggings. Ummm, teachers (and every working woman), please order these. You will want to wear them every single day.

Rockstar Jeggings- If you don't have these yet, do yourself a favor and get them now! I have black, white, several shades of blue, navy, and gray. I tried on this sateen pair yesterday, but you can click here if you're interested in a classic blue pair.

Suede Block Heel Booties- I loved these the second I saw them. They are such a classic pair of booties that will go with everything! They were really hard to show you in a picture when I had them on, so I also took a picture of them on the shelf. There are several colors, and I don't think you could go wrong with any of them. Also, I didn't see these in the store, but I just found these  suede tassel zip booties online, and they are adorable too!

Navy Swing Dress- I have this in 2 colors and seriously considered getting this navy one. It's one of those dresses you can wear for so many different occasions.

Mock Neck Sweater Swing Dress- I think this was the only thing I tried on that I did not like. I love it on the hanger and I love the mock neck, but it was too long and swingy on me. 

I also feel the need to include these dresses that I already have because I think they are fall must-haves, and I have each style in 2 colors!

Plaid Shirtdress

Flute Sleeve Shift Dress

Have you gotten anything from Old Navy lately? I'm so impressed by their fall selection. Thanks so much for reading! Have a great day!

Wednesday Wishlist: Fall Items for Under $50

I haven't done a Wednesday Wishlist in a while, and this one is a little different from my usual posts. I typically include quite a few things from one retailer. Today I've rounded up 15 items from all over the web, but what is the same about all of them is that they are each under $50!

Leopard Print Pouch

Statement Earrings (so cute! come in 12 colors)

St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse

Batiste Dry Shampoo

Dressing Your Babies and Toddlers for Back to School, Fall, and the Holidays!

My friend Sarah is back for her second time guest blogging on Art Fashion Fun today! If you missed her first post, click here to check it out- How to Make Your Southern Babies and Toddlers Look Like They Stepped Out of a Boutique Without Paying Boutique Prices!. I can talk all things fashion for women, but when it comes to babies and toddlers, I don't have a clue. Therefore, I'm excited to let Sarah share her wealth of knowledge! So with that, I'm going to let her take it away!

**********

My pledge sister recently texted me this: "Hey buddy! How are you? Come visit soon!!! I am so excited I am having a girl soon. I need to dress her as cute as you do. Where should I look for her? You have the best taste!" I thought... Me? Omg. What a compliment. I wanted to tell her all of my secrets immediately!

This is how I responded... OMG, you're too sweet. You made my day. Here is my list....

My online favorites:

• Smockingbird (pumpkin shirt pictured below)
• Smocked Auctions
• Cecil and Lou

*Tip: Smocked Auctions is an awesome site and gives you "points when you buy." Once you have enough points you use them for free clothes! Genius!

Favorite groups to join on Facebook: 

• Smocking Hot Mamas (without entitlement)
• Smocks Rock
• Smocked Boutique Resale
• *Flirtees (pictured below)

*More about Flirtees: A local Huntsville lady named Susie Fortner (Flirtees4u@gmail.com) personalizes shirts and dresses for 0-12 year olds and cheerleader outfits for your favorite team!! 

Brands: 

• Little English
• Beaufort Bonnet (see photos below)
• Shrimp and Grits
• Blanks Boutiques (blanks that you get appliqués and monograms on)- cheap, easy, and cute. Find a monogram lady now!! Lol
• Matilda Jane (when they are older)
• Kissy Kissy gowns are a MUST!!! Mine lived in Kissy Kissy for first 3 months or more!
• Silkberry- softest PJs
• Southern Sunshine Clothes
• Posh Pickle (also pictured below)

*The key is to bargain shop and buy from other moms online. You can get things that you would normally get at a boutique for like $20 or less. It's in the details! Simple is best in my opinion! A big bow and cute socks/shoes to compliment the outfit ties it all together.

The Beaufort Bonnet Company

Posh Pickle

Home shows to go to: If you have a rep in your area, go see the clothes. You don't have to buy everything you see! I usually go and buy one super cute outfit, and they always last!

• Red Beans
• The Beaufort Bonnet Company
• Alice Kathleen
• Shrimp and Grits
• Shades Kids
• Matilda Jane

Here is a breakdown:

Dresses: SO many online boutiques have lots of back to school options. Cecil and Lou is among my favorite for online choices, but they can take a while to ship, especially if it's a pre-order or if you get it monogrammed. My advice- go ahead and get it and let a local person monogram! Smockingbird Clothing is among my favorites as well. They ship fast and have great options for back to school and fall! I love reds, greens, blues, and of course pinks for fall. Also, invest in a super cute blouse for layering and putting under dresses and jumpers (Shrimp and Grits has the cutest IMO). Also, monogram the collar if you can. I also LOVE corduroy smocked dresses and jumpers in the fall! 

Janie- Cecil and Lou, Anne Byrom- The Smocking Bug

Janie- Cecil and Lou, Anne Byrom- Southern Sunshine Kids Brand

Bubbles: Cecil and Lou, Smockingbird, Smocked Overstocks (Shrimp and Grits at a discount), also Smocking Hot Mamas Facebook group (the one that says without entitlement). You can search at the top for whatever you want, whether it be Matilda Jane size 6, boys bubble 3 months, or Hunter Boots. You can get deals from these moms who are purging! I get the majority of my girls' clothes this way! Also, I love Shades Kids- online or a local rep.

Shoes: CHUS!!!! These are the new craze, and they're amazing! They are like Keds but cuter because they have a bow (removable), and they come in almost every color imaginable (pictured below in red). Livie and Luca has the cutest boots too! Also, Uggs for fall/winter and Saddle Oxfords for boys and girls!! I love love love pink and brown saddle oxfords on girls. It took me a while to get used to this, but it's so precious and PERFECT with tall socks for fall/colder weather and the School Girl look.

Socks: Jeffries eyelet socks and Jeffries tall socks! Get the thicker ones bc the thin ones wear quickly. Also, get a cute tiny monogram on the top of the socks! (Online or local Boutiques)

Bows: Wee Ones Bows- local boutique or online! Every color and every size! (bow size depends on age)

Shirts and Bottoms: Blanks Boutique! You can get long sleeve blanks shirts, long sleeve dresses and also a variety of colors in corduroy pants to match. Shrimp and Grits has cute pants/tops outfits for boys and girls, as well as Smocked Auctions, Cecil and Lou, Smockingbird, and Mini Boden. 

Coats: You can't go wrong with any style Widgeon Coat (pictured below) or a classic pea coat! Angel Dear also has darling options.

TEAM Spirit!

Roll Tide, War Eagle, Hotty Toddy, Go Dawgs, or Go Bulldogs? I dress my girls in Alabama gear every Friday during football season, and I love it! Check out Smocked Auctions, Cecil and Lou, and other online places for cute bubbles, dresses, and shirts. Like I mentioned earlier, Flirtees also has really great options (as shown in the first picture below)!

*How To Purge*

I've tried selling on Facebook sites, selling on local sites, creating my own page for selling locally, Bagsy online, selling to friends and friends of friends, donating to my children's preschool... but I still have A TON!

I have also recently tried consigning at a local shop. I hung dresses on hangers (they even told me they'd give me some if I swing by- which is amazing because all of my hangers are full), folded up Pjs and whatever else doesn't need to hang, and I dropped it off! It was so, so easy! I drop off about once a month, and they send me a check in the mail. I also find things in there I want to buy, so it works out!

Thank you so much to Sarah for all your hard work and time spent on this post! Are her 2 girls (and their outfits) not the cutest things you've ever seen?! We would love to hear from you! Comment below and Sarah will answer any questions you have!

Anthropologie Sale Picks + Weekly Recap

Anthropologie Sale Picks

I woke up to a text from my mom yesterday saying that Anthropologie was having a sale! We've had our eye on a few things at Anthropologie for a while now, so I made a trip to Memphis yesterday to check it out. There were so many things I wanted. Of course. I ended up with 3 items that I will share with you below!

Dresses- 25% off

Plaid Tunic Dress- LOVE this one. Fall dresses are just so easy to throw on and go. Plus, they are so great to wear during this never-ending summer to fall transition period.

Hutch Dress- I grew to love the brand Hutch while working at my boutique job in Arkansas. This Hutch dress was a little long for me, but I still think it is such a pretty dress. It's so well made, and I love the mock neck. 

Ruffle Sleeve Dress- I tried this dress on a while back, and it is now marked down to under $95! It is a really soft material and also comes in black and red.

Fluttered Tunic Dress- I bought this dress earlier this season, and you can now get it for 25% off! I talked more about this dress in this blog post. I absolutely love it!

Off the Shoulder Dress- This picture is actually from a trip to Anthropologie I took in the spring. At the time, I actually ended up getting this dress in red. I stumbled upon this green one yesterday, and it was marked down from $148 to $39.95. I got one for Ebie and one for me. That is a steal!

Tops- 20% off

Ruffled Cowl Neck Pullover- It was love at first sight when I spotted this sweater. It was the first thing I saw when I walked in the door, and I immediately knew I had to have it. The details are so much prettier in real life. It's like a sand color with gold specks, and the ruffles are just too cute! I had to include 2 pictures to make sure you can see all of the ruffles! Thanks so much mama for this treat during YOUR birthday month! I know you will love yours too! Mailing it TODAY!

Ruffled Hem Pullover- If I had unlimited funds, I would have gotten this sweater too. Love the length and ruffle hem!

Leopard Print Cardigan- This cardigan that I got at the beginning of the season is now marked down $30! It's a good one!

Eri and Ali V-Neck Top- I cannot find this top online yet, but it is adorable. I will be looking for it to hit the web so I can update you. It comes in several colors and reminds me of my Free People thermal.

Bottoms- 15% off

Spanx Faux Leather Leggings- If you don't have these yet, grab them while they are on sale! They are so fabulous, comfortable, and flattering. I love that Anthropologie now carries them.

Leopard Skinny Jeans- My love of all things leopard continues! I grabbed these leopard skinny jeans yesterday because they were marked down from $118 to $69.95. I am aware they look AWFUL with the outfit I have on here. However, I'm going to style them this weekend with either my black or white Lush tunic, and I have a feeling I am going to be obsessed.

I'm so excited about the 3 things (this sweater, this dress, these jeans) I got yesterday, and I definitely have my eye on several other sweaters and dresses. It's a shame money doesn't grow on trees. :) Click here to check out the sale for yourself!

Fall Boot Guide

One of my best friends made my day the other day by texting me to ask for some fashion advice in regards to boots. So today I'm sharing a roundup of my favorite boots across the web, as well as the ones I own! 

Leather Riding Boots:

I got these Sam Edelman riding boots in black and brown last year. They have been my most worn boots, and I can't say enough positive things about them! I also love my Tory Burch riding boots. However, they are not currently on sale, so they are pricy at the moment.

Sweater // Leggings // Boots

Shirt // Leggings // Boots // Similar Purse

Suede Riding Boots:

The suede boots I own are these Jack Rogers Suede Boots. I love them, and I also just stumbled upon these black Jack Rogers boots when writing this post. They are marked down from $298 to $149.99, and oh my goodness, I think I NEED them!

Dress // Boots // Similar Purse

Over the Knee Boots:

I have these black OTK boots for $39.99, and my friend ended up getting these.

Rain Boots:

I have these glossy green Hunter boots and these Jack Rogers rain boots! Also, this dress is on sale plus an additional 30% off today with code THANKYOU. That makes it $20.30! I have it in 2 colors and am seriously considering a third for that price!

Dress // Boots

Am I missing any? I'm going to have to do a separate post for booties because there are too many cute ones to include in today's boot post. What are your favorite boots? Thanks so much for reading! Have a great day!

Nordstrom Rack Private Shopping Party

I wish I could say I was cool enough to have personally received an invitation to the Nordstrom Rack Private Shopping Party, but I only got to go because of a well-connected friend I have. When I was living in Arkansas and working at a high-end boutique, Emily was my manager turned great friend. Now, I am in Southaven, and she is in Memphis, so we are only about half an hour away from each other! 

Emily- Shirt // Jeans // Shoes // Bag // Belt ; Me- Dress // Shoes // Crossbody Bag

Emily got an invitation to the Nordstrom Rack Private Shopping Party that took place in Memphis on Tuesday, and she invited me to tag along. This was extra special because the store had not opened yet. In fact, the grand opening is today! 

So we got to attend this big shopping party that included champagne, cookies, appetizers, and lots of amazing deals. I think that is pretty close to my definition of heaven. 

I have become an avid Nordstrom shopper in the past few months. However, I honestly did not know much about Nordstrom Rack until this event yesterday. They carry so many fabulous brands that are highly discounted. I have been ranting and raving about Free People the past 2 days, and I am so happy to know they carry it at Nordstrom Rack!

I got this Free People cardigan that is basically sold out everywhere, and it was on sale for 50% off! I already had the cream colored one and love it so much that I picked up this green one. I got it for my mom too. And Emily grabbed one. It is that great!

I cannot believe how many colors and sizes the Nordstrom Rack website still has in stock. We searched for this thing online for months, and we could always only find it on sale in a few sizes and barely any colors. If you like it, click here to be taken to it on Nordstrom Rack's website, and you can take your pick of which colors and size you want! 

I also grabbed this ruffle sleeve fleece dress for $18.97. It is going to be my new weekend uniform that I wear with leggings. They only have small left online, but it is a great one if that is your size! UPDATE- it is now sold out. I'm sorry!

Other things I couldn't believe they had for the prices they offered:

Ugg Slippers

Tory Burch Handbags, Wallets, and Shoes

Kate Spade Handbags, Wallets, and Earrings

Sam Edelman Shoes

Something else I did while I was there was I signed up for Nordstrom's Reward Program. I've been wanting to get a Nordstrom credit card, but that idea is sort of scary to me because I've never had a credit card for a specific store. I need to learn more about it to see the effect it could have on my credit score. The lady there did tell me it will not impact my credit score if I pay off my card on time. However, their Reward Program has nothing to do with a credit card. It is free and you just have to give them your name, phone number, and email address to sign up. Click here to sign up!

Once you sign up, you get rewards every time you shop at Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, and HauteLook. You can get points from online or in store purchases. And they have bonus points events from time to time, where you can get extra points. We got triple points when we shopped Tuesday because it was one of those bonus points events! Why am I just now learning about this?!?!?!? Who doesn't love to get free money to put towards their purchases?! Everyone should sign up for this!

One day soon I will apply for a Nordstrom credit card. You can click here if you want to go that route. You can earn more points and get more benefits as a Nordstrom cardholder. However, at the moment, I'm super excited about joining Nordstrom Rewards!

Here's a better shot at my outfit I was so excited to wear for this fun event! I loved Emily's too. I thought it was such a classic look paired with a fun leopard print belt!

Are you a big Nordstrom Rack shopper? I'm so happy to have learned more about it and to be a part of the Rewards Program. Thanks so much to Emily for the invite, and thanks so much to you for reading! Have a great day!

Brands I Love: Free People Part 2

Did you catch yesterday's Brands I Love: Free People Part 1 post? If not, you can click here to check it out. I talked about my number 1 favorite Free People top yesterday and several favorite dresses.

Today I'm sharing the rest of my Free People tops, which are my very favorite tops for fall and winter. Some of the price points are a little higher than I typically like to spend. However, items made by this brand are the best quality and will last you years and years and years!

Also, thanks to my mom and sister for taking pictures with me, and thanks to my dad for being our photographer! Sometimes I get sick of looking at pictures of me by myself over and over again, so I loved mixing things up and having them join me in a few shots! We all love Free People!

Details: My mom- Pullover // Jeans // Booties // Clutch, Me- Turtleneck // Leggings // Similar Shoes, Ebie- Plaid button-down // Jeans // Shoes

Cowl Neck Pullover- This is one of those sweaters you get your money's worth out of. It's so comfortable and a great length, so you can wear it with leggings or skinny jeans. I have my eye on this blue one and this oatmeal colored one. I shared my number 1 favorite Free People top yesterday, but this one is in my top 3 favorites!

Details: Sweater // Faux leather leggings // Boots

Thermal Top- This is my newest top from Free People, and I love it! It is also in my top 3 favorites. It comes in 9 colors, and I want them all. I clearly have a thing for long tops I can wear with leggings, and this one is perfect for that. It also has thumbholes, which are always fun! I kinda bunched my sleeves up for the first picture, but you can see what they look like in the second picture! Also, they only had a large in the store, so you can see in the second picture that sizing up makes it a much slouchier fit. Some people prefer that. However, I went with the medium, and it is less slouchy but still flowy!

Details: Top // Leggings // Boots // Purse

Details: Top // Leggings

Button Front Blouse- I tried this top on a few weeks ago and loved it immediately. It is a classic button down shirt with a fun twist thanks to the sleeve details and cute hemline! I've had 3 people ask me to find clothing that is appropriate for work but also normal-looking for after work, and  I have to say this top is the winner! Perfect for work and play! I love versatile pieces like this one!

Details: Top // Leggings

Details: Top // Leggings

Plaid Tunic- I discovered this top during the big Nordstrom sale, and it sold out so quickly. I grabbed this blue one and the peach one because it is such a great plaid top with cute buttons down the sides. I saw where it came back in one size, so I linked it up. However, I'm scared it's going to be sold out again soon. If you ever see it in stock again, grab it!! This is my favorite plaid top I've ever owned.

Details: Plaid top // Faux Leather Leggings // Mules

Hooded Pullover- My mom found this top, and it is the perfect, cozy pullover. It runs really big. Size down one size. There is a lot of fabric, but we could not love it anymore!

Details: Pullover // Leggings // Slippers

Silk-Blend Cardigan- This cardigan was the It Cardigan last year, and we waited until it went on sale and grabbed it a couple months ago. It is still on sale!  My friend Emily and I picked it up in the pretty green color at Nordstrom Rack yesterday. More to come about that tomorrow! It is also available in select sizes and colors here and here.

Details: Cardigan // Tunic // Leggings // Boots

I'll leave you with one final group picture, as well as the Free People top I will be buying next.. my mom's shirt! It is another 0ne of those versatile tops that is adorable for work and play!

Brands I Love: Free People Part 1

I accidentally skipped my post in the Brands I Love series for the month of September, so this month, I am giving you 2 blog posts dedicated to 1 brand I love! Free People definitely deserves more than one blog post. I can confidently say that it is my favorite brand for sweaters and fall tops.

Today I'm sharing my very favorite top by Free People and some of my favorite dresses. Tomorrow I will be back to share the rest of my Free People tops and sweaters. 

Outfit Details: Our top // Ebie's jeans // Ebie's shoes // My mom's jeans // My mom's shoes // My leggings // My shoes

My Favorite Free People Top- If you have read my blog posts over the past couple of months, you have probably seen this top 10 times. It is called a thermal tee and is the perfect lightweight sweater material, which makes it perfect to wear in the fall and winter months down south. You can see in the photo above that it is a very versatile top and can be styled in various ways!

I have the mint and also want the beige. My mom and Ebie have the mint and beige ones. My mother in law has 2 of them. One of her best friends got one. My Tridelt house mother has one. It's such a great top y'all! I did size down to a small because Free People typically does run on the larger side. However, I think this top is supposed to have an oversized fit anyway. The length makes it the perfect top to wear with leggings or skinny jeans and boots AKA my fall uniform!

Perfectly Victorian Dress- Free People has brought this dress back several years in a row now because it does so well and sells out every year! I have it in mustard and my mom has it in blue. These exact colors are no longer available. However, I LOVE the black and pink ones that are available. The dress is so fun that all you have to do is throw on a cute pair of shoes and some simple accessories, and you've got the cutest outfit!

Embroidered Minidress- How pretty is this dress? I love the bright lilac color and the embroidery. If lilac is not your thing, it comes in 5 other colors and is one of those dresses that you will be so happy to have in your closet! So easy to throw on with a pair of booties now and a pair of leggings and boots later on (if it ever actually cools down).

Off the Shoulder Shift Dress- If I were still in college, I know I would have had this dress in red (even though it is not Alabama red) for gameday! However, now that I am out of college, I think I would get a lot more wear out of the black one. It comes in 4 colors and is so cute and fun!

Neutral Striped Dress- This was one of my favorite dresses of the summer! I love the neutral stripes, sleeves, and length. You can now get it on sale! I also got it in the other color way because I thought it was such a cute dress.

Magic Mystery Tunic- I actually got this last fall, but they brought it back again this year! It is considered a tunic, but it is basically dress length and looks adorable with leggings and boots! The fun bell sleeves are my favorite part!
