Loving the Blues!

JT loving the blues

This week has been so sunny and beautiful: cool mornings, warm afternoons and cool nights.

During the transition from summer to fall, you may not be able to break out your heavy tights; but there are ways to work in some of your fall favorites to make your look season appropriate.

With the cool mornings when you don’t want to wear a heavy jacket, try a simple cardigan in a warm hue. I love variations of blue and it’s so cool that teal is really hot this fall (no puns indented). I recently purchased this teal cardigan from Marshall’s and I coordinated it with this floral dress that I bought on sale at Macy’s about two years. I love the variations of blue and green tones in the dress and the cardigan works so well that you would think that they came together as a set.

Add a completely different color handbag so your look is not too monotone. A blue or green handbag would have made this outfit seem too ordinary This variation of color adds a bit spice to the outfit. Add variations of color to make your look different then everyone else. Who wants to be a carbon copy? Not me!

Working the Blues

For those early fall days, tights are not needed yet in my neck of the woods. I can go bare legged with my leather B. Makowsky studded cut out wedge sandals. My earrings are lever-backs amber sterling silver earrings. I am really loving the Amedeo bangle cameo bracelet so I work it with this outfit (notice that it’s a splash of red).

Vince Camuto Shoe Booties: Top Three Fall Must Haves

No pictures please! What!

I am loving the weekly mini series on what I love for fall and winter. What is genius is that these pieces of clothing that I am wearing that are “on trend now.” I have had for more than two years so it’s so good to buy pieces of clothing that can be workhorses in your wardrobe and can be worn for more than one season. One fall must have is a dress with bold prints.

JT’s Fall Must Haves

This weekend was simply beautiful, so bright, sunny and cool. My favorite time of the year is fall and winter. I spent a lot of time outside and it’s been so nice.

Print Dress: Chadwick’s, Purse: Dooney and Bourke, Boot Shoes: Vince Camuto

I bought this dress and number two must have the faux leather jacket about three years ago; but bright bold reds and grays are so hot right now. Pairing it with number three the gray tights and the Vince Camuto boot shootie is oh-so-chic. My sunglasses are a vintage Jackie O inspiration.

On location in my backyard. Love it!

These Vince Camuto shoes not only have an edge to them and the leather is so comfortable. I walked in them for hours and they were comfortable. The comfort level is that the shoe bootie is has a wedge heel. Wedge heels give more comfort. These shoes are so pretty it was love at first sight when I saw them. The gray tights off sets the whole outfit.
