wearing: bold earrings (on major sale!) / lipstick / classic green blouse c/o ModCloth (avl in more colors!) / black vegan moto jacket c/o Modcloth (under $100!) / fall jeans / black handbag / bold white and silver statement ring / nail polish / belt (vintage Prada-also love this one) / white fall booties /

Can you tell I am excited to start wearing my new fall clothing? Thankfully we have foggy mornings, so I have been able to wear my new fall clothing in the morning before the fog burns off. In the afternoon when the sun is shining, I can change into shorts and a tee.

I love this blouse and moto jacket I picked up last month at the ModCloth FitShop San Francisco. It was such a fun shopping experience, and I love the new additions to my wardrobe I picked up. This vegan moto jacket is really soft and comfy; plus it’s a classic closet staple priced under $100. In addition, designers are loving moto jackets this fall, so there are quite a few hitting store shelves for the new autumn season. This one is affordable and it’s vegan! Love that!

You may see these jeans a lot this fall! They are my favorite new pair of jeans. The denim is really soft, and the fit is so comfortable. I want to wear them everyday!

Also need to give another shout-out to these boots. They are super comfortable, and the split shank makes them easy to wear as a transition shoe from summer into fall. Love that!

This is a really comfortable, casual outfit I can wear now and into the fall season. I love finding transitional pieces which can carry me from late summer into the fall season.

My cute little ten-year-old son took these photos. He did a pretty good job didn’t he? I was very relieved to look at the camera roll and not see any blurry photos. He did a great job holding the camera steady and mostly straight! I only had a few sideways photos that needed to be straightened. haha

Thanks for stopping by!

wide leg pants summer 2018

There are so many great summer 2018 sales and deals right now! I want to share with you all these sales before they are gone! Fall 2018 is hitting store shelves, and stores are eager to clear out all of their summer merchandise. Of course, temperatures won’t go down until October, so there is plenty of summer weather left for wearing these pieces!

These comfortable wide-leg black trousers also come in two additional colors, and are on major sale for under $20! Grab a pair before they are gone! The olive top I am wearing, which also comes in additional colors, also happens to be on major sale for well under $20. It’s great with trousers, skirts, and jeans. This is the perfect top to wear now, and well into the fall season. Love that!

blue valentino tango pumps fall 2016

These pumps are my go-to heels when I need to be dressed up. I have owned them for a couple of years and they are comfortable, chic, and easy to walk in. I cannot believe the amazing discount they are on right now! You can grab a pair of these Valentino pumps for yourself at a fraction of the price I paid online here. I also created a shopping widget with both heel lengths below. I own the shorter heel in red, and the tall one in slate. I love them both! If you are looking for a designer deal, this is it!

Also, keep in mind not all retailers are discounting this shoe, so it’s still regular price at department stores. These online deals on these shoes are amazing. These shoes are not a close-out, so they will still be around for awhile! I plan on snapping up a black pair; just need to decide which heel height to get!

denim dresses summer 2018

This denim dress is a go-to for brunch, meeting up for lunch, shopping, church, and anytime I want to wear a dress! The shoulders can be worn on, or one-shoulder off, or both shoulders off; so it can be worn day into evening too! This denim dress is on major sale, so be sure to grab one before it is gone!

summer stripe dress

I’m a sucker for stripes, and this dress is fabulous on hot days. It’s really comfortable and flattering, love that! I can’t believe what a great deal it is right now. If you need a sundress, this is the one! You can snap one up before it’s gone forever online here.

The ultimate no iron shirt for women

how to wear a mens style shirt for women no iron wrinkle free fashionable work tote fits laptop timeless no iron shirt chicosno iron shirt wrinkle freewrinkle free classic shirt women

wearing: lipstick / convertible necklace (wearing middle tier) c/o Chico’s (last seen here) / white tank top / blue and white stripe no iron shirt for women c/o Chico’s / mixed metal bracelets / Dior summer nail polish / summer tote bag (full review here) / white and silver watch / fall 2018 jeans / black espadrilles (super comfy and on major sale!!)

One of my least favorite activities to do around the house is the ironing. I have to lug the ironing board out of the laundry room, open it (and mine always sticks), then I have to pull out the iron, heat it up, tell the kids not to run in the house because they will knock it over and die, and then I have to iron out all the wrinkles on an article of clothing only to have it re-wrinkle when someone puts it on or sits in the car. It’s like an endless cycle-much like that run-on sentence of mine explaining why I don’t like to iron!

When I was working with Chico’s on my travel wardrobe for my recent trip to Seattle, they suggested I try out their no iron shirt too. I don’t normally wear men’s style shirts, but the thought of a wrinkle free garment sparked my interest, so I accepted it! My husband has a closet full of wrinkle-free dress shirts he wears for work, which I have always envied, so I wanted one too! His clothing is professional, yet it’s all wash and wear. Why can’t women’s clothing be wash and wear too?

This no iron shirt for women from Chico’s is a dream come true. While it can get an occasional crease from sitting in the car, it doesn’t look like it needs any ironing; and it comes out of the wash wrinkle free. Love that!

The menswear trend is still going strong as we head into the fall season. So, I love being able to wear it now. This shirt is classic, and offers both the menswear look, and feminine appeal. I love the 3/4 sleeves and chic button row on the back. It’s like a classic suit shirt with a twist. This shirt can easily be worn under a blazer during the day at work, then when the blazer is removed, it can carry you into the weekend. Love!

I wore this outfit the other day at Santana Row when I met my friend Dawn from Fashion Should Be Fun for lunch at Pizza Antica. It was really comfortable and easy to wear in the hot weather. I’m not as tan as I look in the photo of us together, but maybe we can pretend I am that tan?? haha I really wish I was!
