Fashion Friday: Edition wherefore art thou fall?

September 23, 2016 ·

So yesterday was the first day of fall. And there is allegedly cooler weather on the way next week, but I can’t get my hopes up. I feel like at this point all I know is the heat. And I’m so tired of it.

This is going to be a quick Fashion Friday because I just got back home and am trying to get to bed at a decent hour, but make sure you don’t miss the latest episode of The Big Boo Cast because we were so tickled to have Beth Moore as our special guest. You can listen to it here.

Here are some cute things I found this week:

1. sole society cut-out bootie

I really like these booties because the cut out on the side makes them a little different than the norm and you can wear them even if it still happens to be 97 degrees outside. They also come in black and a coffee color.

2. boo tee

How cute would this be for Halloween? They have a bunch of cute t-shirts, but this one is my personal favorite.

3. j.crew factory printed henley blouse

f3812_mf6970

I love the bright colors in this and think it would look especially great paired with black pants or a black skirt for the office. But could be equally great with jeans.

4. bar pendant necklace

_11118912

This is a great accessory that would go with just about any outfit and it’s only $18.

5. deep v-neck pullover

_12569120

This sweater has a ton of great reviews and it’s 40% off so just $31.20. Apparently it runs big. It also comes in black, red and tan.

6. billabong paisley dress/tunic

_13261565

I really like this and at 32″ long it is definitely more in tunic territory than dress territory. It would look so good with black leggings and boots.

7. madewell flannel oversized ex-boyfriend shirt

Madewell has a big sale going on with an additional 30% off sale items. I love this plaid shirt. It’s on sale for $74.50 but additional 30% off with code AUTUMNUP at checkout. The code is only good through midnight Friday night.

8. macrame duster

Anthropologie also has 30% off all sale items with the discount automatically taken at checkout. I like this and think it would be a great accent to a lot of outfits, equally great over all white or paired with a cute striped shirt, jeans and boots. Or even over a dress!

9. made well lisbon o-ring bucket bag

f5774_br6794

I think this bag is gorgeous. It also comes in black and and a beautiful gray color. It’s definitely an investment piece but is on sale for $194.50 with an additional 30% off with code AUTUMNUP at checkout.

10. love again dress

51240-1-gry

Someone emailed me this week to tell me about a cute boutique called The Mint Julep Boutique. I looked around and was immediately a fan. They have a bunch of great things at great prices. That dress above is one of my favorites, along with this neapolitan nirvana cardigan. The truth is I can hardly decide what I like the best.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

    ex boyfriend flannel and love again dress…well played! ๐Ÿ™‚ I saw that “boo” t this morning online too, so cute! I love Mindy Mae’s Market and if there was a walk in store near me I would probably be in big trouble! ๐Ÿ™‚ Can’t wait to listen to the new podcast, just listened to #64 while blogging yesterday and was hilariously laughing throughout!

    I had a Beavis & Butthead moment because of the “Boo Tee” shirt. I’m 43, dangerously close to 44, will those moments never cease? Anyway, I love The Mint Julep Boutique, SO cute, esp for my 21 & 14 yr old daughters. But for me too, because I don’t care who says I ca’t wear “that” after 40!

    I saw the macrame duster on the Anthro sale rack last week. The lady in the store said it looks amazing with so many different outfits. It just wasn’t in my size, darn! Bring on the cooler weather, which in Texas means 80s, but I’ll take it!

Who is Melanie?

Melanie ShankleMy name is Melanie and, in some strange twist of fate, Iโ€™m also known as Big Mama because I started this blog in July of 2006 when my daughter, Caroline, was not quite three years old and I was in the process of convincing her that BIG girls use the potty and BIG girls donโ€™t have pacifiers, thus she thought BIG was the highest compliment in the land and began referring to me as BIG MAMA.Read More
