Little Floral Dress

Dress (similar here and here) - LOFT / Jacket - J. Crew Factory / Sandals - Ann Taylor / Bag - Sole Society

Jeff and I are homebodies by nature - what can I say, we just really love our couch!! I think honestly if we didn't think about it, we could easily end up spending an entire Saturday inside. So every now and then I put my foot down and force out to explore, especially on a beautiful weekend like we just had. Lincoln Square is really close to our house and is full of some really cute streets that are fun to wander down, and of course tons of restaurants and shops and bars too!

I almost didn't have Jeff snap any pictures while we were out, but I actually chose to share this dress from last summer again because I was in stores a couple weekends ago and saw something incredibly similar on the racks. Like I swear, the same cut with the ruffle at the bottom, and a really similar pattern. Well, lo and behold, I cannot find it anywhere online. Ugh, major blogger fail right there.

I guess though, it's good to see that I do rewear pieces all the time, even if I'm not sharing them on repeat here! Really, I've been in this dress a ton over the past few weeks since it's so lightweight and breezy, but the palette is a little softer as we start to transition into fall colors. I honestly often struggle between showing you what I'm really wearing every day, and wanting to show you only new stuff so you won't get bored.

So tell me - do you prefer to see new items only? Or do you like seeing how I remix my wardrobe?

Gray & Tassels

Tee - LOFT / Shorts (similar) - Gap / Sandals (similar) - Sole Society / Necklace (and similar in fall colors) - BaubleBar / Watch - Wristology / Bag - Old Navy

I wanted to wear this fun tassel necklace all summer, but only managed it once #struggs. Now that fall is around the corner, it has finally become my go-to piece (I'm thinking about grabbing this pretty red version for fall!). The whole '70s thing has been really big this summer (I'm looking at you, off the shoulder tops and fringe) and it's definitely going to stick around through the fall. Speaking of fall (I know, I know, I'm not ready either) pairing a three-quarters sleeve tee like this one from LOFT with distressed shorts and sandals is a great way to start to transition your wardrobe into fall while staying cool in the heat that showed up again this week.

How are you transitioning your wardrobe for fall?

Transitioning White

Dress - Target / Vest - Old Navy / Booties - Sam Edelman / Necklace - Yuni Kelley (similar) / Watch - Kate Spade

It may be after Labor Day, but I'm still in white. While the weather continues to cooperate (at least for today) and it still is technically summer, I'm going to keep on rocking this little white dress.  Paired with my utility vest and booties, it feels perfectly appropriate as a transition outfit to fall.

I wore this earlier this week for a quest over to Wicker Park for trivia night. I think we've finally found a trivia program that I can really get behind, because A) they cater heavily to my intense knowledge of the Home Alone franchise, and B) we've come in second twice. Of course, some of my friends aren't as cool with the whole "not winning" thing, so I said next time we go our team name should be, "Always a bridesmaid."

Are you still in white?  Or have you packed it away until next year?

Fall Style Now

Shirt - JCrew Factory / Shorts - Gap (old) / Boots - Sam Edelman / Belt - Old Navy / Necklaces - JCrew Factory and gifted / Watch - Kate Spade

Whenever I get new clothes, I get super excited and want to wear them right away, even if they aren't quite weather or season appropriate.  Such was the case with this plaid button down and the booties I picked up during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  I figured I would have to wait to wear them, but this button down is surprisingly light, and with some (super short) shorts these boots feel seasonally appropriate.  While I'm loving that they work for summertime, I'm also excited to layer this shirt under a sweater come fall, and rocking these boots with some skinny or boyfriend jeans or even with tights and a skirt.

Do you wear your new clothes right away?  Or are you sitting on your fall purchases, waiting for cooler weather?
