There was a time about two weeks ago when it actually felt a little cool outside in the mornings. And the evenings were pleasant and made me want to sit outside. But now the heat has returned with a vengeance and boy is it angry.

I really need to find a way to live in Montana or maybe even Canada from May until October every year.

Here are some cute things I found this week:

1. elan long sweater cardigan

This is an actual picture of me in this sweater because I knew I wanted it the moment I saw it. It’s the perfect sweater when you live somewhere that doesn’t get super cold.

This is super soft and just a great weight. I love that you can dress it up or dress it down.

It’s $99 but you can get 15% off site wide with code MELANIE15 at checkout.

2. vintage havana waffle knit pants

This is the cutest, softest set. I cannot even tell you how dreamy it feels. This is how you wear pajamas outside of your home in a socially acceptable way.

The pants are $69 but you can get 15% off site wide with code MELANIE15 at checkout.

And the waffle knit cardigan is sold separately.

It’s also $69.

3. z supply waffle henley

This henley is the kind of top that I will throw on a million times over the next six months. It’s long enough to wear with leggings, looks cute with jeans and is just so unbelievably soft.

It’s $89 but an extra 15% off site wide with code MELANIE15 at checkout.

4. risen Cameron wide leg trouser jeans

I have looked far and wide at various jeans for fall and these are about the best I have found. This Risen brand is so reliable and so flattering on everyone.

They are $69 but an extra 15% off site wide with code MELANIE15 at checkout.

5. hutch long sleeve v-neck wrap maxi dress

I have had a bunch of people message me and ask about a good dress for a fall wedding and, you know, maybe a fall regatta gala. This dress is perfection for that. I think a wrap dress is flattering on just about everyone and the colors in this are so dreamy.

This is $230.

6. Thea twofer sweater dress

I love these twofer dresses and think they are just such an easy way to look so put together. This one with this floral skirt is everything.

It’s $180.

7. lace v-neck button down top

This is the prettiest, softest lace top. It looks so great with just a pair of jeans, but could easily be dressed up.

It’s $32.99 but has a 10% off coupon.

8. suede platform wedges

If you are looking for a fun, colorful pair of suede wedges without a big price point, these are super cute. I adore this green for a fun pop of color.

These are $47.99 and come in several color options.

9. ’94 half zip

Old Navy has released a ’94 vintage collection to celebrate their 30 year anniversary and this half zip fleece takes me back. There is also a rugby dress that has my heart if you are interested in such.

It comes in several color options and is $39.94 but an extra 20% off at checkout.

10. be all you can be camo pants

I bought these camo pants last spring and love them. They are so cute with a t-shirt and a denim jacket. Or with a sweater and boots.

They are $64 and also come in olive green if you’re more a solid color girl.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.

A few weeks ago, a friend texted me and said they were looking for something on my blog and a link took them to a page filled with Chinese writing. And that made me realize that I hadn’t changed anything around here for a long time and, while I guess this is still technically a blog, I only use it to post Fashion Friday and podcast show notes. So it felt like it was time to just simplify it and clean it up a little bit. You know, bring it into the year of our Lord 2024.

Anyway, here are some cute things I found this week:

1. maeve long sleeve mock neck blouse

When I’m telling you that leopard is everywhere for fall and winter, I mean it is everwhere. This is the prettiest top and would look so great with black pants, a black slip skirt or jeans.

It’s $108.

2. cable muscle sweater tee

This is the kind of sweater top I love because it is perfect for fall in the south. This also comes in ivory, but chocolate brown is a big color for fall and I like it because it’s different than anything else I have.

This is $118.

3. twofer layered sweater vest

I have always loved a layered look that doesn’t actually require me to layer. This is just so darling and perfect with jeans.

It’s $128.

4. pilcro crewneck waffle sweater

A waffle knit anything is one of life’s greatest joys in my opinion. This also comes in a maroon color, but this blue is so dreamy.

It’s $158.

5. pinch sleeveless tiered maxi dress

This is such a great fall dress because you can wear it like this for now and then layer a sweater or denim jacket over it later.

It’s $99.

6. oversized women’s denim jacket

Speaking of denim jacket, I love this oversized denim shirt jacket. It comes in a bunch of different color options but I really love this olive green.

It’s $41.99.

7. floral bubble sleeve print dress

This is the most darling dress. Love the cut and the bright color.

It’s $149. It also comes in a tan colorway if you want something a little more subtle.

8. burgundy stripe mini shirt dress

This dress doesn’t look great with those loafers, but it’s maroon and white so perfect for game day. I’d wer it with cowboy boots or some fun sneakers.

It’s $44.99 and also comes in a solid light chambray and a blue and white stripe.

9. joygirl pleated tennis skirt

I have really been into my tennis skirts this summer and this is one of the best ones I’ve found. It’s lightweight and longer in the back than in the front. Plus, the pleats are just so cute.

This is $29.99 and comes in a bunch of color options. I got the medium.

10. dolce vita bobby platform sandals

Listen, these shoes are like a unicorn. Sophie had them on at our live show last spring and told me they were so comfortable. So I bought this almond suede color and they are like a dream. I don’t know how a heel is this comfortable but I can truly walk in these all day and not hate myself. They are almost sold out so run if you want them.

They do come in some other colors. They are $144.

That’s it for today.

Have a good Friday.
