Fashion Friday: Edition maybe the weather is about to cooperate

There’s an alleged cool front that’s supposed to blow in and finally make it feel like fall around here. Sadly, it has chosen the Saturday morning that we have an early soccer game so I’m going to get to stand around and shiver bright and early this weekend.

But I’m not really complaining because I’ll take that over this summer weather any day.

And now I’m just going to get to it.

Here’s some cute things I’ve found this week.

1. tiered pointelle sweater dress

Sweater dresses are tricky. They can look really good on. Or they can look really bad. And since I haven’t tried this one on then I don’t know how it might turn out.

However, I like it in pictures. And I think it would look darling with boots. Not to mention that all sale stuff at Anthro is an extra 25% off right now.

2. forever remembered elephant print top

This would look great with jeans or even a skirt. And it has little elephants all over it so you could totally wear it on election day if you’re into theme dressing.

I really try to avoid theme dressing these days, but I still have to resist the urge to wear animal prints when I go to the zoo.

Fortunately, I can’t remember the last time I went to the zoo.

3. cut it out dress

I love this. And it comes in some great colors. It would look good on its own if you’re young and have the legs, but it would also look great with black leggings.

4. level up dress

This is pretty bright. But I like it.

5. boiled wool blend peacoat

I love this peacoat. It’s a great cut and it comes in several good colors. Bonus, it’s also 40% off.

6. fall draped bead necklace

This is the perfect statement necklace in fall colors.

7. softest sweater scarves

These scarves are so soft and come in some really pretty colors. The perfect accent for different outfits.

8. beaded draped chain necklace

Forever 21 is a great resource for inexpensive jewelry. And I really like this necklace because it can add just a little something to a plain outfit. Another good tip is to buy two necklaces and put them together for extra impact.

9. chelsea lace cocktail dress

I love a lace dress. And this one might look good on its own, but I also think it might look good over jeans or leggings with a jacket over it.

10. change of seasons wrap cardi

In honor of the cool weather, I present this sweater. It looks like fashion in a blanket form.

That’s it for today.

Y’all have a great Friday.

    I was shopping the other day and one of my first thoughts was, “Would Big Mama think this was cute?”.
    Clearly I need help.

    Happy Friday!

    Ooooh – I love that “Change of Seasons Wrap Cardi” (as if we have “seasons” here in FL). But I could use it for a couple of months. LOVE. May have to bust out the Visa…

      This post confirmed my fear that if I wear something with an elephant on it people might think I’m a Republican. Best to avoid them, I think. Love that scarf, though!

    So, my goddess of fashion…are scarves still in?? I almost bought one but was concerned I’d missed the boat. Again. I’m not an early adapter…

    So, I went shopping this afternoon and thought I was “sufficiently stocked” for a while. And then you had to go and show us the gray wrap cardi. So not done shopping now.

    I cannot figure out how to properly wear a scarf. I love the necklace.

    We always want what we don’t have right? We have already had lows in the 30′s and high’s in the 50′s. I’m missing the summer weather.

    Thanks for the reminder NOT to wear anything with elephants on it right now! :-)
