Slow and Steady Fall Wardrobe

I have a hard time deciding on clothes and I don't do much shopping I am more of a recycler. I am short and curvy so things are hard to fit my body. But I think all women have this problem, women's sizing is terrible and never consistent. I also feel guilty when I spend money on clothes even though Super Man encourages me to. So in an effort to improve my wardrobe and add quality not quantity while keeping a budget I am going to order a few pieces and keep it under $100 each paycheck. Here are my first few pieces...

Navy blazer ...I love the piping and I think it will be very neutral. I usually like this cut as well a little shorter in length.

Sheath dress with leather accent. Mine is actually all grey minus the red but they are both cute!

Booties ....I LOVE LOVE these and hope they are as cute on!!! They also come in a beautiful camel brown.

I will let you know how they work out I am not a huge online shopper but I am working on it ;)

Autumn Dreaming

Today's vacation day has been filled with a wonderful steady rainstorm complete with rolling thunder and a cool breeze. After having my coffee on the patio per the usual except this time I listened to the rain. Its interesting how after so much heat a little cool snap and the dancing drops of rain can make me completely content.

I know we will have several warm weeks left ahead of us but I couldn't help but start to dream of Autumn. Its a difficult time for me when it comes to putting my wardrobe together because its can be very warm one day and cool and crisp another. 

The summer was great and I am always a little sad to see it go however, by the time the 100 degree temps have been around for a few weeks I am eagerly awaiting cooler temps that make me want to buy school supplies, cozy light weight sweaters, bright fall colored plants, flavored coffee creamer, soups and cozy fluffy socks.

Here are some realistic transitional pieces I would like to add to my wardrobe. 

I hope you are having a lazy labor day and spending it the way you find most relaxing!
