Transitioning




Kate Spade earrings
Stella and Dot "Serenity" necklace
Express portofino shirt (Kelly Green)
Natasha Couture link bracelet
JCrew Factory skirt
Michael Kors "Lilly" bag (option)
JCrew "Emery" heeled sandals

Labor Day naturally makes me think of transitioning my wardrobe to be more fall appropriate. I wouldn't even necessarily say fall "appropriate." I really just mean I'm trying to incorporate some of my new fall purchases into these end of summer outfits. I ordered this portofino shirt from Express because I already have a polka dot version that's easily become one of my favorite pieces. The fit of these shirts is just amazing and easy, so I would highly recommend stocking up for fall. Then there's this bag. I'll have to save my entire Fall Haul for a different post, but this bag was part of a recent (yet another) outlet mall haul. I'm honestly not a huge Michael Kors bag fan. I generally love his shoes, but his bags I'm usually meh about. I was seriously craving a buttery soft cognac bag though, and this one was perfect. After all the small bags I've been carrying lately, it was nice to throw all my junk into this and tote it around for the day. And did I mention how buttery soft it was? Or the fact that it was barely $120? How sweet it is indeed.

On a final note, I just had to share this photo. The husband takes photos of me before we leave for work every morning. There was a hummingbird hovering about 6 inches above his head as he took this. I wish you guys could have seen my point of view from this pic! My expression sums it up!

    1. I almost wore a pink top with the skirt, but it felt too spring to me. The green worked out great! Thank you for the sweet note!
