Changing My Spots

IMG_5707.JPG

Wanting to look fashion forward without losing your cool? In this unseasonably warm fall at least where I live it is cooler in the mornings and warming up by mid-day - so what is a girl to do? I am slowly adapting and these pieces are great for keeping me on trend for the season without covering me up completely. For all the outfit details, see below.  

The Dress

Twill Button-Front Shirt Dress
CAD $39.94

This Twill Button-Front Shirt Dress from Old Navy is day, night and work appropriate. A perfect combination of professional and chic. It is soft, comfortable, slightly fitted and true to size. In basic black this can be mixed with many layers whether it be leggings, scarves, jackets or even cardigans. A definite must have for these fall months.

The Details
·        Pointed collar, long sleeves, with buttoned cuffs, & curved hem.
·        Dress hits at knee.
·        100% rayon

The Scarf

BP. Leopard Print Scarf
USD $19.00         Item #5205058

This little beauty has thankfully been re-stocked as it was one of my favorite purchases from this years Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I have more leopard print scarves in my collection than I would care to admit but I always seem to find a use for them and they can be a beautiful statement piece that amps up any look. This one is lightweight with a soft fringe on the edge. If you don’t have one (or you just want another one – like me) Run Don’t Walk to order this one – you can’t beat the price.

The Boots

I love ankle booties paired with dresses this time of year. Mine shown were from BP in last years Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and unfortunately are no longer available. I did track down a similar style and colour here. I love the chunky stacked heel, tassel on the zipper and smooth leather.

The Bag

Once again, the bag pictured unfortunately was another purchase from last years Nordstrom anniversary sale but this Kate Spade bag is a nearly identical neutral to keep the look consistent. I love the pebbled leather, the crossbody strap and the size to take you anywhere.
