What I Wore: Autumnal

It’s kind of funny that I enjoy Fall so much because we don’t have any semblance of seasons here in Miami aside from hot and unbearable. But when this time of year rolls around, I get a little warm and fuzzy feeling in my heart that isn’t zapped out of me until the mention of Christmas (my least favorite holiday – although decorating is fun). I’m pretty sure it has a lot of do with Halloween being my number one favorite holiday and my wedding anniversary. Oh, and pumpkin everything.

That is why I decided it was high time to start dressing a little more autumnal. And yes, this is autumnal for Miami. All you readers that are cozy in your scarves, boots and hot chocolates: try not to hate too bad. 😉

What I Wore: Neon & Dots

Who doesn’t love to reconnect with their childhood? I personally love to dress like my inner 6-year-old princess. It makes me feel light, full of life and a little less anxiety ridden. After all, wouldn’t we all want to go back to those easy, simple times where our biggest concern was which My Little Pony needed the most brushing? I know I would.

This outfit has everything I absolutely adore: sparkles, dots and neon! I also decided to face my peplum problem head on and give it a whirl. Turns out us curvy girls can also sport the style after all! Just remember to pair it with heels to give you maximum height to equal out the extra volume. I decided to push my height even further with a high bun paired with this adorable Ban.do bow. I love love love bright statement pieces!

What I Wore: ColorBlock & Cars

Since we were headed to the park only one day out of the weekend, I had to make sure the outfit for it was extra fun, as well as airy. The Florida heat can be beyond brutal, so I needed to choose a fabric that would breathe, which is why I decided to take my new favorite blouse from H&M (remember it here?) and pair it with yellow for a fun color block effect. I added some blue accessories and just had one more little touch: my Mickey ears! I had forgotten how magical Disney could be – can’t wait to plan our next adventure with the Mouse!

What I Wore: Neon & Never Growing Up

As I mentioned earlier this week, the family and I went up to Orlando for the long weekend to visit Disney, and most importantly, to check out their new resort, The Art of Animation. The hotel consists of 4 themed areas: Cars, The Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo and The Lion King. We, of course, stayed in a Cars suite (my nephew is a huge huge fan) and enjoyed hanging out at their different pools and fun grounds. Like I’ve said before, I absolutely love that you can be a little more playful with your outfit choices at Disney, and I tend to go a lot more bright and playful than usual. After all, Disney World is one of the only places that allows you to never grow up. And well, you don’t have to tell me twice.

On to the neon!

What I Wore: Polka Dots & Hurricanes

Unfortunately, this weekend consisted of a whole lot of rain, wind and boredom thanks to Tropical Storm Isaac. That means there was basically zero opportunities for an outfit post. Luckily, the hubs and I took two last week so I had one in “storage.” Perfect! Plus, it’s a good one. I’m already a fan of polka dots, stripes and basically any girly pattern, so I am beside myself that dots are making a huge statement this Fall! I love going shopping and seeing a bunch of polkies everywhere – it’s just so fun and whimsical. And you know I love those two adjectives when choosing pieces to add to my wardrobe. Pair it with sparkles, and you might as well put a fork in me: I’m done.
