I’m still on a black and white kick from yesterday’s post. Today, I added a bit more color with bright purple shorts and a coral crossbody bag. Gold accessories make for the perfect final touch.

I can’t seem to pass up a boldly colored blazer if I tried. They’re the perfect way to dress up an otherwise casual outfit. Add hot pink to the mix and you know I’m sold. I think it looks especially sharp against a graphic print, but keep it under control by pairing it with monochromatic pieces.

Considering I live in Arizona where the temp doesn’t drop until November, I use the term “fall” pretty loosely. But even though we’re still in the triple digits, there are hints of autumn all around (Sbux Pumpkin Spice Latte!). From aisles of Halloween candy to racks full of coats (I start sweating just at the thought of outerwear in this weather), I can’t help but feel it’s time to put away the flip flops.
I’m left in a limbo of stylistic sorts. It’s too hot to fully embrace fall fashion, but it’s too late in the year to be prancing around in a tank top and cut-off denim. So after playing around in my closet last week, I accidentally concocted what might be the perfect solution. I combined a lightweight frock (you can’t see it, but the cut of the upper half totally reads summer sundress) with a boldly patterned button-up shirt (last seen here). Finally, the best of both worlds!
