Sometimes we have items in our closet which we pair with one or two other items and wear them together throughout the season. This season, my burgundy satin skirt hasn’t been worn with the same pieces twice! I wear it about once or twice a week, and the outfit is always different. I don’t always photograph it, but three times I did! So, the three times I snaped a pic are shown here in this post.
I wanted to share this with you because for a skirt under $50, I am wearing it more than anything in my closet! It is really comfortable and easy to dress up or down. I can also adjust the outfit for the weather. As the weather cools down, I will start pairing it with long sleeves and jackets.
As the holiday season approaches, this satin skirt can also be worn with a sequin top, velvet top, and holiday sweater. Love that! So, buckle up, you will see me in this satin skirt many more times this year. Love it!

I finally got a pair of Ally ankle boots! If you have been following along, you know I suffer from Planter Fasciitis. Last year, I received a pair of Ally’s high heels and discovered that I too can wear heels without pain. It was groundbreaking! So, I have made a wish list a mile long of shoes from Ally and now I have added one pair from this list. Yes, I want more, but for now, let’s talk about these amazing ankle boots with arch support!
The ankle boots from Ally offer built-in arch support which feels like it was custom made for me. I can walk and stand for hours without pain in these boots. Love that!
The boot style is classic and with a pointed tote, so I know they will last for many years without needing to worry about them looking dated. This makes these boots an investment pair of shoes. You know I love a good investment piece!
Ally makes this ankle boot in two heel sizes, low and high. I got the high ones, but I have my eye on the low ones too, maybe I’ll get them in a different color. The high ones are perfect for the office, and I have also worn them with cropped jeans on the weekend; you know, to show them off.
Here are the shoes I currently own, or am wishing for, from Ally shoes:
If you are not sure about your size, check out the fit finder to find your perfect size. I wear a US 9 and for my Ally shoes I wear a 40.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you love Ally as much as I do!
Happy almost fall! Although temperatures outside are soaring, it is prime-time to organize our wardrobes for the upcoming fall season; after all, Labor Day is almost here!
Before running out to the mall and shopping until we drop, it is best to shop our closets first; this will help us save money and not purchase duplicates for our wardrobes. The styles from year to year don’t change that much, so chances are, we all have some of the most perfect items for fall already sitting in our drawers and closets.
So, without further ado, let’s take this article to our closets, and start shopping! The best part, this type of shopping is free! Love that!
The fall 2026 season is still understated; although we are starting to see some pops of color, they are traditional autumn hues thus season.
Step One: For the fall 2026 season, pull forward all items in neutral hues, dark berry/red shades, all the greens in your closets, dark yellows, quiet blues and dark purples. These will be the colors complementing your neutral shades of brown, ivory, black, grey, and beige.
Step Two: Move all of your obvious summer clothing to the back of your closet.
Step Three: Wide leg, barrel, and classic cut jeans are still here. Make sure those styles are moved forward in your closet. You want your jeans to be clean, no cute or frays, and in shades of medium to dark wash, black, brown, and beige.
Step Four: Anything your own in leather or suede, that is not a shoe or handbag, bring forward. This fall, suede and leather are hot, so you can rock that leather skirt, suede jacket, and more. If you don’t own anything leather, and love the look, add a suede jacket or skirt to your fall shopping list.
Step Five: Stripes! Horizontal stripes are still hot. Keep your summer stripes, your 2025 stripes, and your 2024 stripes in the front of your closet. They are still hot.
Step Six: Sweaters. Keep all of your short sleeve and cardigan sweaters front and center in your drawers. You will reach for these sweaters a lot during the fall season.
Step Seven: Nail Polish. Chances are you own pink nail polish. If not, check out Chanel’s new pink and Dior’s new pink. I love these.
Step Eight: Re-Read my handbag trend article and organize your handbag collection accordingly. Chances are that you own the perfect fall handbag already.
Step Nine: Pull out all your boots, loafers, classic high heels and Mary Janes. These are the footwear styles you will be rocking this fall season.
Step Ten: Did you save your pleated skirts from several years ago? I hope so! If not, you might add this flattering style to your shopping list for fall. Pleats are back bay-bee! Bring those pleats forward in your closet.
Well, that’s it! You can always refer to my fall trends post for more ideas about what to bring forward in your closet. In this post, I highlighted what I think most people have from recent fall seasons in their closets. Hopefully this saves you some money for the fall season. Enjoy filling in your wardrobe with a few new investment pieces! Remember, stay classic and look for high quality. Logos are a no-no.
Thanks for stopping by and stay fabulous!
XOXO
