Pleated Leather Skirt

Top: J. Crew (similar) // Skirt: J. Crew // Shoes: Prada (similar) // Bag: Chloe

Recently, I’ve fallen in love with leather pieces. I own so many styles of leather skirts, jackets, and more! There are so many ways to style them…you can match your leather pieces or you can pair it with other pieces from your closet. I like to wear one leather piece at a time and find other pieces to match it! 🙂

This skirt also looks really cute with a plain white tee, but I chose a striped one for today’s outfit. I also wore my black wedges and my go-to black bag!

Plaid Dress

Dress: Madewell (similar from Scotch & Soda and Vanilla Monkey) // Shoes: YSL (similar)
Belt: J. Crew

One of my favorite patterns to wear in the fall is plaid! I love plaid shirts and dresses like this one. This dress is an old Madewell dress but there are many similar dresses being sold. It is a shirt dress, so I always add a belt so I don’t look like I’m drowning in it. This dress also has pockets which makes it a definite staple in my closet!

You’ve also seen me where these boots before. They are my go-to shoes for fall outfits! I would love to own the black leather pair to go with my darker outfits.

Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale

Top (similar) // Jeans // Sandals // Bag // Necklace

It’s finally the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale! This is one of the few sales that I visit every January and August. The August one is always better though in my opinion 🙂

I was up at 6:55am this morning to make sure I was one of the first to get my items. By the time 7 hit, there was already an online queue of over 1500! After an hour, it was at over 100,000 people waiting to get on the site.

Here are the items I bought:

The first item was the Brewster T-Shirt dress in Multi More Lovers Coral. I love Lilly’s t-shirt dresses because they are super cute and comfy. I usually throw one on the days I’m busy and don’t have too much time to make an outfit.

The next item I bought was the Harper Shirt dress in Pool Blue Any Fins Possible. Same goes with the previous, super comfy and cute. I love this one especially because it has pom poms on the neckline. My sister owns this one and I loved hers…when I saw it was part of the After Party Sale, I had to buy it!

The last dress I bought was the Dusk Strappy Silk Slip Dress in Multi Lovers Coral. I love the silk dresses and adding a cardigan on top. The best part about Lilly Pulitzer is that if you buy one solid color item, it will go with most items! This is because LP reuses a lot of the same colors in items and patterns 🙂

I also bought two Elsa tops in Flamingo Pink Southern Charm and Sea Blue Flirty Sea. Elsa tops are my (and a lot of others) favorite top from LP. The top shown in my outfit is an Elsa top too! They are over 1/2 off on the sale now 🙂

If you didn’t get to the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale right when it started, don’t worry, there are still a lot of great items and sizes available!

Cableknit Sweater

Sweater // Shorts // Watch // Loafers // Bag

I was so excited this morning to pull out my favorite cableknit sweater. The high temperature for today was around 60 degrees along with some rain showers and wind. This resulted in the perfect weather to wear this sweater! It wasn’t cold enough though for me to ditch my shorts quite yet. 🙂 I’m going to try and wear them as much as I can before it gets too cold!

This is a pretty simple outfit so I felt comfortable using my LV bag. I don’t use this bag with outfits that are already busy because then it would be too busy and overwhelming.

I also wore my favorite loafers (own them in black too!) and my classic DW watch! This watch is one of my favorites because you can change the watch bands on them. This navy and white band is one of my other favorites that I like to switch to every so often!

Fall Transition Dress

Dress // The Nines // Similar dress

Boots // Saint Laurent // similar shoes

I have finally stopped into the Nines in Detroit Lakes, MN! So many people have recommended this store to me. The store had a lot of clothes from their brand but also others such as Hudson jeans.

I picked up this cute dress that is SO similar to the Socialite one at Nordstroms (which I’ve been wanting to buy ever since the Anniversary Sale).

To make it a transitional dress for fall, I wore my much loved Saint Laurent boots! This would also be cute with black shoes and accessories.

Up with Yellow and the Green

Top // Madewell

Jeans // J. Brand

Boots // Saint Laurent // similar

Watch // Daniel Wellington

Bag // Gucci // similar

Necklace // Etsy

Sunglasses // Ray-Ban

With it finally August, I feel like it’s acceptable now to bring out my flannels. It’s still pretty warm out, but with lightweight flannels and rain to keep the temperature down, flannels can be completely wearable at the end of summer.

I bought this flannel from the Nordstroms Anniversary Sale from Madewell. What really caught my eye about it was that it was navy, green, and yellow.

As I am from North Dakota, I tend to buy anything with green and yellow, the colors for NDSU! I can’t wait to pull this out for the many football games I’ll be attending.

Another favorite from this outfit are these boots! Suede is such a staple in fall. These boots will go with nearly every fall outfit you have! I love them so much that I’m thinking about buying the black leather version of them. 😀 Toms also has a similar, cheaper version of these shoes!

One of my other staples for fall is this Daniel Wellington watch. It’s a classic timepiece and as with the boots, it goes with most outfits. You can also change out the wrist band for other leather or braided pieces to match even more styles!
