Fashion Friday: Edition September is here

I realize I didn’t post anything yesterday. I totally meant to but I had one of those completely uneventful days where I ran errands and returned phone calls and blah, blah, blah. Truth be told, I blame Diana Nyad. I just kept thinking why on earth would anyone want to read about my trip to HEB or listen to me lament about a two day old bee sting when a woman swam all the way from Cuba to Florida.

Part of me is just glad I’m not her friend in real life because that trumps so many things. “Oh, you couldn’t find the right brand of dog food at the grocery store? How terrible for you. Remember that time I swam for fifty-three hours with jellyfish and sharks?”

Not that she’d be like that. I’m just projecting what I would do if I ever swam from Cuba to Florida. Which, I can promise you, will never happen.

Anyway, let’s talk about clothes.

1. reva tunic

Love the colors in this. I think it would be a great fall transition piece with leggings and boots. Then throw a jacket on if the weather ever cools off.

2. 1969 legging cords

Listen. These feel like butter. You need a pair. And they come in a veritable rainbow of colors, including this maroon which makes me feel like I need to go to an Aggie game in November when it’s cold enough to wear them.

Gap also has a bootcut version for those of you who hate the skinny.

3. flowing embroidered top

After I lamented last week about the lack of maroon, I feel like the fashion world is mocking me. I did some shopping this week and it is EVERYWHERE. The problem is that most of it is featured on winter items like blazers and cords.

However, I saw this darling top at Zara and felt like some Texas A&M or Mississippi State fans could benefit from the knowledge that there is a cute maroon and white top that you can wear when it’s 90 degrees outside.

4. elora pullover

I would live in this all winter long.

5. fluid racerback tank

I saw these tanks at Gap the other day and fell in love. They are super soft and a great length for layering under jackets or sweaters or whatever.

6. abstract leggings

Patterned leggings are going to be a thing this year. I happen to like them, but I think the key is to find a top that’s long enough to help you pull them off. Preferably in a nice solid color.

7. bubble tea poncho

I have to tell you that I saw this in person at a local boutique the other day and audibly gasped. I love it so much. To quote Agnes “IT’S SO FLUFFY I COULD DIE”.

(It’s not really that fluffy but it is super soft and oh my word I would love it with jeans and boots and I might feed my family Ramen for a week so I can buy it.)

8. multistrand chain necklace

I bought a necklace like this last fall at Nordstrom and I wear it almost every day. It makes any plain t-shirt look a little fancy.

9. junior burnout tee

These are at Target right now and I love them. They are so soft. I know you’re thinking I am very fancy with my soft t-shirts from Target.

And you are correct.

10. game day boot socks

How much do I love these? SO MUCH. And they have them for all manner of schools so don’t be deterred if Texas A&M happens to not be your personal favorite.

That’s it for today.

Y’all have a great Friday.

Gig’em Aggies.
