Fall style buys

Hey y'all!  Although cooler temps are nowhere near Florida yet, I am feeling the urge to switch gears into some new fall fashion.  I ordered a few things way outside my norm and I am hoping that once these arrive, I am feeling just as confident to actually wear them!  I have read about lots of fun buys lately and here are a few of mine.  Most of these were from the Loft sale last weekend but a couple weeks before that, I snagged this adorable embroidered dress.

I have seen this chiffon dress styled many times on Pinterest and although I wouldn't normally pick something so attention getting, once I clicked thru the link and saw how amazingly cheap it is, I went ahead and stuck this bad body in my cart.  The shipping tracking showed it left China, is in Jamaica now and headed to me soon.  I hope to have as many adventures in this once it arrives.  :)

I ordered this coated cotton moto jacket to toughen up my sweet chiffon dress and also to throw over a white tee and jeans for a casual date night.  I am hoping the cotton is a little cooler than leather would be.  

I also grabbed a couple pairs of jeans to spruce up my pickings.  I have been on dark blue for a while so I grabbed a lighter rinse with a little destruction and darker rinse to experiment a little.  I am not feeling as confident about the dark coated pair but decided to try since they were on sale.  

 

I am on the hunt for a pretty plaid scarf for the fall.  I am thinking either lighter Burberry-like shades or black-based plaid.  We shall see.  I haven't been to the mall much lately but need to take a couple lunches at the food court and take a quick stroll to see what I can find.  

What do you have on your fall-fashion radar?  Can't wait to read all about it.  

Hope your week is off to a great start!

What I thought about what I bought

What I thought about what I bought by eporter-217 featuring high heel shoes

1. Michael Kors heels: These are GREAT.  Really.  I first bought the black and went back for the snakeskin.  The are really comfy all day long.  The heel is a little lower than I realized when I ordered them but the comfort you get wearing them is worth it.  For me, they are best with ankle length pants or dresses and skirts since my pants are tailored for a higher heel.

2. Tazo Passion Fruit Tea:  This is great hot or cold.  I love hot tea and was craving something a little lighter as we get into spring.  I drank enough chai and cocoa through the cool months.

3.  Ann Taylor Loft Julie Skinny pants:  These new pants are so cute.  I don't have the body for super skinny and I don't like bootleg so these are a good alternative.  I put these on to show my husband but he thought they were a little too sexy for work.  I was so bummed.  I knew they were fitted but I thought they looked so good. I have decided to take his advice for now and save them for a day when I have an after-work cocktail hour to attend.

4.  C.Wonder iPhone 5s battery extender:  Another great buy.  I got this during one of their 50% off sales and it is great.  My husband just asked me to order him one too.  I don't plan to use this everyday but on those occasions I will be away from my charger for an extended period of time (think weekend adventures) it will be perfect.  I just used it during Spring Break and it took my phone from 20% to 85%.

5.  C.Wonder sweater:  I didn't love this.  I liked the idea of the built-in, removable collar but it needs a little more structure.  It also got pilled easily.  Maybe during cooler months when you can layer up a tank or cami, this would work.  I thought it would be a good spring transition but it's too warm to layer, here in Florida.  Although this brand has a lot of looks I love, I probably wouldn't buy this sweater again.
