The Best Summer-to-Fall Transitional Item

Similar Denim Jackets: (1), (2) // Maxi Dress // Wedge Riding Boots (on sale!!) // Similar Infinity Scarves: (1), (2) // Initial Charm Ring // Nail Polish

This is one of my favorite fall looks year after year. Maxi dresses are the perfect summer-to-fall transitional piece for your wardrobe. You can layer a cardigan or jacket (like this denim one) and add a scarf for an easy fall look. It's also a great fall style because it is easy to adjust it to the temperatures. On more summery fall days stick with a light weight cardigan and scarf, but on cooler days add a jacket and blanket scarf.

The key to transitioning your maxi dress into the fall is to choose your dress / dresses wisely. Maxi dresses made of lighter materials such as chiffon should be left for the summer months. Cotton dresses, in contrast, are perfect to wear in the fall. Dresses in solid colors such as navy, black or red are easiest to style for fall.

This has been an odd work week for me, having both yesterday & today as office days. It's been great to actually catch up on paper work & emails, but I do struggle with not getting distracted at my desk. Hopefully today I can buckle down and then start my weekend early!

The BEST ankle boots to elongate your legs (...and they are under $60!)

 Infinity Scarf: Aldo 

Denim: Levi's (love the rise of these!)

Boots: Joe Fresh 

Handbag: similar - here & here

I haven't shown you guys a casual 'what i wear on the weekend' post in a while, so I thought I'd show this cozy fall outfit. I love mixing stripes and plaid (as you may know from this post) so this is a go to weekend outfit for me.
 
These are hands down my go to fall boots. I initially grabbed these boots on a whim - while grocery shopping with my mom while I was visiting her! ha! - but I am SO glad I did. The "v" cut of the boots gives the illusion of length to your legs and is flattering on everybody!

Below is a round up of other "V front" boots that will have similar qualities in terms of lengthen the look of your legs. I gotta say the Joe Fresh ones are still my favourites though!

I had such a busy weekend and am definitely tired today! Does anyone else find October to be the busiest month of the year? 4 of my closest friends have their birthdays in October, my niece and goddaughter do as well, and then throw in Thanksgiving (Canadian) and Halloween and the month just seems to fly by! I hope you've all had a great month so far! See you back here on Wednesday (...at which time I will hopefully have caught up on sleep!)
