2 ways to wear TWEED

Tweed is a classic piece that has reared it's head through fashion once or twice...alright maybe a few more times than that.  It has such a cozy element to it, yet is completely chic.
I love the idea of pairing tweed with a unexpected patterned pant for the weekend; add a pop of color and a great jewelry piece for a bit of interest and you're cozy and put together for what ever your Saturday has in store.

I also love the classic element to Tweed.  A tweed dress with leather accents adds a bit of edge.  Style this classically with a bold shoe, chic handbag and colorful statement and you're ready to go challenge corporate America.

the art of layering - 3 looks to help you layer like a pro!

The quintessential fall look is a layered one.  As the temps drop it's all you want to do, right?  Take that sweater and pop it over your favorite button up; but, if you're like me you drool over looks all over Pinterest that are effortlessly chic and cozy yet still look incredibly put together.

Today I've styled three of my favorite ways to layer for fall.

I can't decide which is my favorite - which is yours?

sweatshirt lux - 2 ways to wear!

We've been seeing them all over the past few months.   Chic, adorable, and cozy sweatshirts.  How do you wear a sweatshirt, though, without looking like you're going camping?  With the new styles that are out, it's pretty simple!
Balance out your looks; if it's a baggy sweatshirt, keep other pieces streamlined and chic.
If a more fitted sweatshirt is your style, feel free to play around with baggy, slouchy pieces to ground your look.

I've rounded up two styles below;
Edgy Fem - for our fierce ladies who love comfort and commanding the attention of a room.
Prepster Chic - for our more casual ladies.  Adding the boyfriend fit jean and pointy flat make this look perfect for weekend errands or lunch with your gal pals.

Which look is your favorite?

wear now & later - white pants

Have we all caught on to the white pant trend?  I mean, I definitely have a pair but am still oozing with envy any time I see another blogger pull them off better, or in a different style.  Aaaand I still get nervous wearing mine since I'm so accident prone, but Resolve has become my best friend (Yes, the carpet cleaner.  Yes, I use that on my clothing stains.  Yes, I just blew your mind).  

It is August though (and currently quite hot and humid here!) so there's a bit of summer left, but I don't think I'm alone in pre-thinking for fall.   I want to be sure my wardrobe is ready for transition.  You would think that white pants would be a seasonal special - one trend to come and go.  I invite you to consider that the between Memoral Day and Labor Day rule no longer applies.  Wear your white pants into fall... all the way into fall.  White is a shade which does pair extremely well with other earth and jewel tones which I mentioned in my 12 Transitional Pieces post and my Fall into Neutral Season post.

I styled a pair of cropped skinny white pants for now.  Wear these with bright, bold, and beautiful colors now.   A cool girl wedge and structured crossbody will add a little charm to your look!

The later look I took jewel toned blazer and a floral top to dress up a boyfriend fit pair of chino pants. A leopard flat, neutral bag and simple accessories keep this look grounded and casual chic.

Will you be wearing white this fall?
