day to night outfit idea: white and silver dangle earrings / Chanel lipstick / black one shoulder ruffle top (only $44!!)  / YSL fall nail polish / Chloe handbag / black and silver watch / black and silver striped palazzo pants / slate blue pumps (color sold out, avl in black, silver, pewter or light blue with 1″ heel))

Oh the humidity! We have been “enjoying” weather in the nineties over the past few days, and yesterday, the humidity was mid-west level. I had to stop and look around, just to make sure I was home and not on vacation in the middle of the country! I’m so glad I had this day to night outfit idea to wear now; which is perfect for transitioning from summer into fall.

These palazzo pants are under $20, and they are SO COMFORTABLE! They flow like a skirt, but offer the comfort of pants. Love that! They were perfect for meeting my friend Dawn for lunch at Santana Row, and also for going out to dinner with my husband later that night. Perfect day to night outfit idea for a hot summer night!

Quick shout-out for Sino at Santana Row; it is where Dawn and I enjoyed lunch. If you are local to the Bay Area, be sure to check out their dim sum. It is so good! I have eaten there multiple times, and every time I go the food is absolutely delicious. Love!

Now that I have YSL’s Studio 54 themed nail polish collection for fall, I felt inspired to add some sparkle to a day to night outfit which was lightweight enough to wear now, and well into the fall season. I just love the sparkling silver stripes on these palazzo pants, they are so festive and fun!

These pants also look chic with a slouchy tee and mules for a more casual, urban-relaxed look. I look forward to wearing them for the rest of the summer season; and well into the fall season!

Thanks for stopping by!

Early fall casual outfit

 in Bay Area Fashion / General Fashion  tagged baublebar / fall 2017 / givenchy / outfits by

wearing: bold gold statement earrings c/o Bauble Bar / Chanel summer lipstick / fall black and white striped sweater / black layering tank top / fall dark rinse girlfriend jeans / Givenchy handbag / fall 2017 YSL nail polish / fall embroidered mules

First off, my apologies for the slightly blurry photos in this post. My adorable nine-year-old son really wanted to take my pictures and see them on the Internet, so I let him be my photographer for the day. He tried really hard, and did a good job considering he is new to using a DSLR camera!

This casual fall outfit for the early fall season is already turning into my favorite look. Although it is not fall yet, I have been sneaking in my fall wardrobe during the morning hours when the fog is in, or has just burned off. I can handle wearing heavier clothing until about 11am, and then I need to switch back to my summer wardrobe. I can tell this thin sweater will be a go-to item once the temperatures cool down around October.

The sweater is really comfortable, but it does hit right at my belt-line. To correct this, I wear a black tank top underneath the thin sweater in order to make sure my belly is not exposed. No-one wants to see that! haha

The sleeves on this sweater really elevate it from a basic fall knit to something special. I love the belt details on the arms which have a slight bell silhouette. My kids get a kick out of it! They think the sleeves are “really fun!”

I wore this outfit out to an early lunch the other day with my kids. I took them to Straits at Santana Row, and we enjoyed a yummy lunch; and ordered too much food. Can I just tell you, we had leftovers for days!!

These fall 2017 slides were comfortable for walking around, and I love that I can wear them in any weather. At least I can rock a fall trend all day, any day, during the rest of summer and into fall with these mules!

Which fall 2017 trends are you in love with, and are rocking right now?

I love a tiered sleeve top for fall 2017 I can wear now! This fun top with tiered sleeves for fall is lightweight and breezy, making it easy to wear on cool, summer days, when the fog is in; or temperatures remain in the seventies.

The tiered sleeve trend picked up pace during the spring/summer season, and is maintaining popularity as move into the fall 2017 season. The runways for fall 2017 showed both bell sleeves, and tiered sleeves, for the cool weather season. This means the tiered sleeve trend is here to stay; at least for the fall/winter season. We will find out in September what is in store for spring 2018!

This top with tiered sleeves for fall 2017 is a great way to rock the tiered sleeve trend this autumn season. The fabric is lightweight, and the overall silhouette of the blouse is conservative enough to be worn on a daily basis. It also comes in a classic, crisp white fabric. White is fabulous for fall, because white after Labor Day is all the rage! Love!

A top with tiered sleeves can be worn several different ways for the fall season. Of course the obvious is with jeans, but it also looks fabulous with wide leg, cropped pants, a pencil skirt, or skinny cigarette pants. I love how tiered sleeve tops look with slides or booties for fall; a trendier footwear style balances out the slightly avant-garde look of the tiered sleeves.

My tiered sleeve top is currently part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and the price will go up to retail on August 6, 2017. So if you like my top, now is the time to snag one! Otherwise, I found a few fabulous tops with tiered sleeves for the fall season, that you can wear now, and assembled them into scrolling widget below.

What do you think of the statement sleeve trend? More specifically, tiered sleeves?
