Have you ever had to go to back to back events – one casual, the other dressier – with NO time to change in between?
Last week, I had to rush between two overlapping blogger events – a preview of the new Nordstrom Rack in Dallas and a press screening for the Universal Pictures’ film “About Time“. More to come on both soon.
For the Nordstrom Rack event, I wanted to be stylish yet comfortable. One of my blogging assignments was to put together three outfits while I was there – so quick changes in the fitting room were a must.
I started with two comfortable basics – my faux leather leggings and an over-sized cobalt blue sweater – then paired them simply with my leopard flats.

In the car on the way to the press screening, I swapped out my flats for some ankle boots and added a leopard scarf. Instantly dressier.

Lesson learned – there’s no need to do a full outfit change when going between events. Start with a good base then swap out a few accessories in the car and you’re good to go!

Dressed up, embellished sweatshirts have been on the scene for a little while. This fall, they’re everywhere and I can see why. It’s easy to love a trend that takes your favorite comfy, casual piece and makes it perfectly appropriate for just about anything.
Who knew a sweatshirt could be so chic?

Olive, army green, whatever you want to call it – it’s a color that’s definitely having a moment this fall.
I recently discovered just how much I love it paired up with black.

If you haven’t jumped on board the olive train yet, now’s the perfect time. There are plenty of affordable pieces to update your wardrobe in stores now. Here are six of my faves.
1. Cargo Skinnies
The studded details and cargo pockets on these skinny pants make them extra special. Wear them cuffed with ankle boots or tucked into your favorite riding boot.

2. Open Weave Sweater
Your black leggings just found their perfect mate! This metallic open weave sweater adds a pretty sheen of army green.

3. Camp Dress
This camp dress would look great belted and paired with black ankle boots.

4. Camo Blouse
A pretty, feminine camo blouse adds flair to basic black jeans and pencil skirts.

5. Military Jacket
Every girl needs a military jacket in her collection. It’s fall’s perfect finishing layer. Pair it with black and white stripes.

6. Military Vest
Already have a military jacket? Then consider adding a vest.

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been featuring pieces from my Wallis weekend getaway wardrobe. This wardrobe was part of the Miraval and Wallis mom’s weekend getaway prize. Although my magical weekend at Miraval resort is over, I’ll be styling my Wallis wardrobe staples throughout the fall.
Today’s outfit features three of my favorite pieces from the collection – this sheer floral blouse, a lightweight striped open front cardigan and my favorite – the black and stone Juno bag.

About a month ago, I fell in love with this outfit found on Pinterest after searching for ways to pair up my oxfords. I couldn’t wait for the weather to cool down to recreate it. It’s the perfect combo of preppy casual with menswear details – a navy blazer, boyfriend jeans and oxfords.
