The calendar may say Fall arrived two weeks ago, but in the South we all know the temperature won't start to reflect the change of season until at least Halloween. So what's a girl to do when she wants to dress to reflect the season but doesn't want to die of heat stroke in the process? The easiest way is with color. Swap out the brights of Summer for the darks of Fall, like the deep red of this corduroy skirt. I've never been much for corduroy because it's never really that cold here, but this skirt is pretty thin and unlined so I didn't feel too warm in it. Unfortunately it's no longer available, but I linked to some similar ones below. I paired it with this white button-up cami I'd been eyeing on Amazon to keep things temperature appropriate and finished the look with these laser-cut peep-toe booties. And voila! A Fall outfit appropriate for near 100-degree temperatures.
I'm your mom friend who's probably overdressed for the occasion, would rather drink Mountain Dew than wine, and definitely stayed up too late reading last night. Thanks for joining me on this crazy journey!
Wow, these last two weeks passed in a blur! There's been a lot going on - so much so that it's actually kind of hard to focus on wha...
February Book Club Pick
Of course February's pick has to be a love story, and this Pretty Woman-esque tale feels right up my alley. Lottie and Huxley meet by pure chance, but it's not exactly a "meet cute" like you see in the movies. Lottie is on the prowl for a rich husband, and Huxley is trying to worm his way out of a business deal gone wrong. The two strike up a deal - Lottie moves into Huxley's mansion and pretends to be his fiancé. Nothing could go wrong, right? Except she falls for the lie.
