What do you do when it’s 97 degrees outside(100% humidity) and you have to get blog photos accomplished? You head for the local shopping mall, that’s what you do! Ha! Between trying to keep any sort of a curl to stay in my hair and my photographer who is currently 8 months preggo(seriously feel for her right now!), we definitely have to get creative and come up with location alternatives for a bit. When you’re shooting four looks at a time, it gets unbearable standing out in that heat.
Enough about the heat though….let’s venture to cooler thoughts and chat early fall fashion. I’m a total sucker for just about anything olive green….jackets, vests, pants….I love them all and have quite a few of them. But what I didn’t have was an olive off the shoulder top! So naturally, when I was “window shopping” at Francesca’s a couple of weeks ago and spotted this top on the racks, I knew it was coming home with me.
Rules like ‘don’t wear white after Labor Day’ or ‘shoes matching the handbag’ are antiquated. Modern women should feel free to experiment.

I love the idea of pairing up a warm fall color with a bright white for transitioning into the next season. This is a look that can be worn now all the way through fall…yes, white pants and all.(The ‘no wearing white after Labor Day’ rule is long gone, friends!) In fact, fall booties with white denim is probably one of my very favorite combinations.
I scooped up this cognac hobo bag during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year and I could not love it more. I’ve been using it pretty much non-stop since it landed on my doorstep a few weeks ago. If you’re looking to invest in a great neutral bag, I highly recommend this one.
One last thing I wanted to point out that I did not show in these pictures is the fact that this long tassel necklace can be converted into a wrap bracelet! I completely forgot about this when we were taking pictures last week, but I’ll be showing it as a bracelet on the next round. It’s such a cool concept and I love how versatile it is with everyday outfits, especially with the colors of fall coming up soon!
On a personal note….so I’ve been going super low carb eating this week and I’m four days into it now. Seriously though, I feel like I’m DYING. I had been doing ok up until about noon today and I think I’ve just hit the proverbial wall. Nothing that I’m “supposed” to eat this week sounds appealing at all anymore. In fact, the thought of any of it makes me queasy. My goal was to make it though one week and then work toward doing it one more after that. 2 weeks total. That’s all. All I can think now is that I’ve got to come up with some other protein alternatives if I’m going to make it to the finish line. This girl is riding the struggle bus right now!! So if you have any suggestions, I’m all ears, friends! xo
