Stripes fall 2017 is a hot trend which started on the fall 2017 runways and has hit the streets for the upcoming cool weather season. I absolutely love stripes; especially when they are mixed up and going in all different directions. haha That is how they were shown on the runways!!

This stripes blouse for fall 2017 has turned into a great late summer, early fall piece. The fabric is lightweight, so it is easy to wear when the temperatures are in the 70’s. It is supposed to be a one shoulder top, but it appears to have slide up my shoulder when we took these pictures. It still looks cute! I just love this blouse!

I wore this outfit to meet up with my friend Laura from Have-Need-Want at Santana Row on Wednesday evening. It was fun for us both to take a little mommy break and get some adult time to ourselves! Big thanks to our hubbies who fed our kids dinner while we ate out!!

We met at 5pm in order to attend Kendra Scott’s fall collection kick-off party. Oh my! This collection is to-die-for! Watch for an upcoming post all about the fall collection. I really love it!

After the party, Laura and I ate a yummy dinner at Left Bank, and then window shopped around the Row. We did end up splurging a little bit at Sugarfina. So much for trying to lose ten pounds! Haha, those pounds are never going to come off me!

Stay tuned! Next week I will post my recap of the Kendra Scott fall kick-off party and show you all of my favorites from her beautiful new fall collection!

wearing: blush and gold dangle earrings / Chanel lipstick / mustard fall peplum top / pale blue nail polish / Fendi satchel / black leather and rose gold watch / dark rinse girlfriend jeans / Gucci slides (also love this pair under $100)

Our weather finally dropped back into the high seventies, so I can finally wear my summer into fall wardrobe without overheating! Yay! This mustard, fall peplum top has been hanging in my closet waiting to be worn during the late summer/early fall transition season. I’m so happy I can wear it now. It’s perfect for the current weather!

I love the fall, mustard color of this peplum top, along with the funky ruffle sleeves. The fabric is lightweight, making it appear to be a fall peplum top yet offering the comfort of a summer blouse. Love that!

These slides are super comfy too; and the whole outfit was great to slip on after my workout, and to wear throughout the day. I took my kids out to lunch at Sino Santana Row, and then I dragged them with me while I ran errands. Then, I worked for a few hours, and after I worked, I brought my girls to their archery practice. This outfit was perfect for my busy day. Love that!

Comfortable fall outfits are key now that we are ten days away from school starting! Eeek! I have two kids going back to school, and one I will be homeschooling; so life is busy right now as I get everyone ready. How is August starting out for you? Are you super busy too?

Thanks for stopping by!

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?
