Bridging Seasons

Hey everyone, happy Friday!  Today I want to talk about those times of year that are a bit tricky to dress for: transition months.  My tried and true formula for September is to stick with warm weather basics (skirts, open toe shoes, etc) in autumn appropriate hues. I will hold on to every last bit of summer for as long as I can, but this look was a great way to start incorporating some of my new purchases while staying comfortable during the last days of summer.

Outfit Details – Tee: Banana Republic | Jacket: White House Black Market (old, similar here and here) | Skirt: JPR (more colors here!) | Heels: Banana Republic |

Fall Fabrics

Hello everyone, welcome back!  Lately I have been scoping out the fall fashion scene, so I took a look back into my closet to see what items I always wear during autumn months.  Leather and denim are two staples that I can’t imagine going through October without!  Paired together, they make a chic combination that will transition well from cool August days (with sandals) into colder days with a pair of ankle boots!

Purple Principles

Hey everyone, happy Monday!  Today’s outfit is another look at this pretty purple blouse from Express (last worn here).  I’ll take as many classic shirts as you can give me, so it’s really no surprise that I’ve found infinite ways to wear this one.  I find purple to be a surprisingly versatile color, and love that it’s so on trend this year!

Outfit Details – Shirt: Express | Skirt: J.Crew | Heels: Topshop | Purse: Vera Bradley | Necklace: Elizabeth and James | Watch: Fossil | Earrings: Banana Republic

Thanks so much for reading – have a wonderful week!

Hello everyone, welcome back!  Do any of you have any exciting plans for the weekend?? Michaela and I are heading to New York again for some beach and family time, so make sure to follow along on Instagram and Snapchat (@chummer17).

I love pairing together colors close on the color wheel, and blush and red are no exception.

Chambray Season

Hello everyone, welcome back!  Today’s post is 100% inspired by my momma.  A few weekends ago I saw her in a chambray and white jeans going to a party and thought she looked so cute I decided to wear the same outfit.  Almost.  She paired hers with a cute pair of blue and white Sperry’s, while I chose to incorporate shades of brown into mine.

Pastels In Amherst

IMG_0622.jpg

Welcome back everyone – happy Monday!  I hope you all had a great weekend!  This look is actually from two weekends ago.  B took me out to Western Mass for a little surprise trip (more on that tomorrow!) but on our way back we stopped in Amherst for a couple hours for dinner and to explore the town a bit (we went to High Horse and sat outside in the beautiful patio!)  I wasn’t sure what we were doing, so I just tossed in some skirts and tops and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I loved the light and airy feel these colors brought together!

Happy Hump Day everyone!  I am so obsessed with how the pinks in this outfit play off the white to create a beautiful summer color palette!  This outfit would be perfect for evening in a breezy seaside town!
