FALL

Last week I went crazy and spent wayyy too much money shopping.

Most of these pieces I can start wearing now and will carry me into the fall. I feel like most of my fall shopping is done for now, with the exception of a few pieces.

Here's what I got:

(and how I plan on transitioning it from summer to fall)

1. Cheeta print tank top- what needs to be said, this piece will be great on its own now and will look perfect layered during the fall. I am in love with this print!

2. Khaki shorts- its Texas, it's not going to cool off untill at least November. I think the khaki will blend perfectly into fall with other browns, oranges and mustards pieces that I already own.

3. Rust colored Maxi - I've been wanting one of these for ages. It finally went on sale at Target. Not bad for $12!! I think this is a great color for fall and will go with several pieces I already own. This baby, a Vneck and a scarf for fall will be repeated daily.
4. Turquoise top- This pieces will be great on it own now for summer with shorts and can easily transition into fall with jeans, boots and a blazer.
5. Yellow Star Sweater- I opted to get this piece in a size larger than normal. I've been feeling a little body concious lately, and I feel like this piece will look perfect in a more relaxed fit. I love this print. Its so fun! This piece will be perfect with shorts when the weather is not 100 degrees and will work with jeans and boots as the temperatures continue to drop.
6. Pale neon green oxford- I've been wanting a great colored oxford for ages. Luckily Old Navy had a huge assortment of them in various colors. I decided on a pale neon. Sadly, this picture doesnt do it justice. I think oxfords are great for any time of year. The neon with work great for now and still be on trend in the fall with some black skinnies and boots.

What I'm still lusting over for fall:

black leather jacket

leather leggings

burgandy leggings

any thing with polka dots

ankle boots

What do you want for fall 2012?

What I Wish

Yesterday I decided to do something bold. I decided that I have lots of pretty clothes, and not enough time to wear them. I also came to the same realization that I do every two weeks: Im broke. So to kill to birds with one stone (METAPHOR! I would NEVER do that! comeon people!) I have decided that  I am not going to go shopping for a month. So boys and girls, that means that untill October 9th, (since I decided this yesterday) I will not buy ANYTHING - clarification- no clothes (new or used or online) no jewelry, no shoes, no purses. I am also going to try my hardest to not wear anything twice (except pants/shorts, because I dont have many of those). So I hope that you enjoy this little journey that I am taking. (PS- I totally plan on possibly buying something at Target on Tuesday- which Im not counting in my not buying rule. Its only for a limited time and Missoni. Missoni gets to break the rules.)

Also - Its September. In case you live under a rock. And in most places that means that the temperatures drop. I live in Texas. Its hot. Its still in the upper 90s.... It wont cool off here untill the  end of October maybe November. While would be awesome, except that I love cool weather! (NOT snowy icey weather) but cool, wear a sweater weather. And unfortunately we barely get that here. So untill then, here is what Im wishing I was able to wear 24/7. (This is also what I wish I could go buy! but because of the afor mentioned paragraph I cannot). Something comfy and easy, cuddled up on a couch reading a book and drinking a Pumpkin Spice Latte (Clarification: with pants on, and maybe boots. not in the fashion of Missus Emma Watson). Instead, Im still stuck with Iceed Coffees. Its still too dang hot for hot drinks. And that means that while most of you will post pictures of your adorable fall outfits, I will still be in summer gear, untill the temperatures cool down.
