There's a chill in the air Babes! Seriously, I felt it just the other day 😳 I wore a sleeveless jumpsuit (what was I thinking?) and low and behold a stiff breeze came along plus a parade of goosebumps as I raced to my car O_O
Now that we've landed in October, fall-like weather is indeed expected and inevitable. Since I moved to a mild climate, I have learned to style seasonal pieces across every season.
Take for instance this bright and sunny kimono. I purchased it towards the end of spring this year from a line that was specified for summer. However due to the material that it's made from (it has a good weight to it, not heavy, but not light either), its nice long & wide sleeves, plus a medium density lining, this kimono easily becomes a transitional fall piece. 
For this look I paired it with a silk top and matching jersey pants. I love this eggplant hue, notice how nicely it pulls out the lilac flowers on the kimono?!
Until next time,

Endless Chevron Topped with Orange-burst

TGIF Beauties!

I'd like you to imagine, a chevron maxi dress that never seems to end. Imagine a dress that was hemmed 3 inches shorter, yet it still skims just past your ankles.

I have such a dress, my chevron maxi dress truly feels endless. I've shared previously that I am not very fond of long dresses and skirts. Yet, I'm won over by the fact that that this dress is 100% cotton, and it's super cool and wearable even on the hottest of days.

 Okay, enough lounging, on to today's post =)

I'm naturally drawn to chevron prints because they're basically crooked stripes, and IMO stripes win every time.

I usually wear this dress by itself (see here), but I decided to switch things up. Worn with this silk blouse, it looks very much like a long maxi skirt versus a dress (which has stripes on top BTW).

I love sleeveless dresses because they offer versatility. They can be worn alone, with a top underneath, and or with a top on top ;)

Thank you for stopping by today, I wish you a fantastic weekend!

Today's post is short and sweet. One of the benefits of being married to a golfer is the beautiful views enjoyed from golf resorts; Perfect photo opportunities! I wore these jeans not too long ago,  but I wanted to wear them again. 
Have you ever had a hankering to wear something that you just wore not too long ago?
