Falling for Fall Florals

I love fall and all of the brilliant colors! I love the way the trees are turning from green into the bright yellows, reds, and oranges.

Because I like bright colors, I was drawn to this beautiful bright aqua printed pleated blouse from J Crew Factory during their recent 50% off sale. I wanted to show a couple of different looks so you can dress it up or down and get your money's worth. I had meetings earlier in the day and wanted to dress it up but then came home and got more casual. Notice in both looks I am carrying my Phillip Lim for Target bags! 

Here's the dressier or more professional look wearing this Old Navy leather trimmed zipped cardigan, tweed skirt, and heels:





Here's the more casual look wearing oxblood jeans and booties:






How else would you wear this top? 

Thanks for reading and following along!

    Ooh! I love both of your looks, but I love the shirt paired with the burgundy jeans. The colors all blend together perfect for fall. I would pair this top with mustard yellow. Either a cardigan or even a skirt. It's really pretty!

      Thank you, Heather! I agree about the mustard- I have a cardigan that color so I might try it that way next time. Thanks for the suggestion!

Sunday Style: Green

Image
Green is my favorite color. I think it brings out the color in my eyes and it looks great with my skin tone.There's lots of sayings with green in them too. Give the green light. Green thumb. Going green. (Make no mistake- I didn't say Go Green- that's for all you Spartan fans out there). Green around the gills. Green with envy- well, don't be green with envy but I am sitting here in sunny Florida enjoying the warm weather and time with family and friends... This green dress has been hanging in my closet for a while but this was the first time that I got it out. I scored it on a major sale but just haven't had a chance to wear it. I always say why wait for a special occasion?  What I love most about this dress is the neckline. I tell you all the time that it's hard for me to wear a straight skirt or dress and this is no exception. I like the look of it but I do think I'll spend a few more dollars and have it tailored a little more. I paired nude pumps...

Sunday Style: JJ’s House

Image
It’s been said in various ways that clothes don’t make the person, the person makes the clothes. I believe this to be exceptionally true in this beautiful dress that I am wearing in today’s post! This dress literally made me wish that I was heading out to the opera or a benefit dinner. I love that I get to wear and model a lot of clothes and some just feel more special than others. This dress was custom made for me so I got all the feels while I was zipping it up and looking in the mirror. It fits like a glove and I could not be more in love with it!  Let’s talk about  JJ’s House  for a minute. They have all sorts of dresses for special occasions, including bridal wear! I picked out a dress and did my measurements and sent them in with my order. They even called me once to make sure that my measurements were correct so they made sure to make the dress correctly!  This  dress  has gorgeous nude tulle with a black lace overlay. I literally felt like a princes...
