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. 😉

In case you don’t know, WE ARE OFFICIALLY IN MY BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!!!

What I Wore: Go Jane Wedges

With weddings comes a lot of events, which means a lot of outfits! This can get pretty painful on your wallet pretty quickly, but that’s where budget shopping comes into play! This outfit, which is totally one of my new favorites, was under $60! My absolute favorite part of it were the shoes (big surprise). I don’t know if you all remember, but I had have a slight obsession with these Aldo wedges. I wanted them in every color, but with their current price tag, I would be lucky if I could swing one. That is, until I saw these super similar ones at GoJane.com for a quarter of the price! They come in a wide array of fun summer colors as well, and are very comfortable. Take it from me: I was wearing them for 12+ hours this day and I didn’t want to saw my feet off (always an accomplishment).

Lovable Friday

1. Zig Zag Shift

This dress has been haunting me for weeks. Usually, that means I should buy it. But I went on kind of a shopping binge while the hubs was gone so I am on a current shopping freeze (ugh, I hate those). So I will just admire from afar (hate doing that too) for now. For those of you that don’t have to window shop, check out the beautiful shop, Spool No. 72. They have some gorgeous pieces. This is actually my runner up!

What I Wore: Social Saturday

For being someone that adores color and brights, I have been deathly afraid to give color blocking a whirl. Maybe I fear that I will just take the idea and run with it. After all, once you give me access to color, I tend to turn into a crazy 6-year-old child. But, I had a lot of fun putting this one together. So much fun, in fact, that I may just try it again. 😉

I am in love with this airy blouse from Conversation Pieces. It is the perfect spring item to pair with a great pair of colored skinnies, which I did for a very busy Saturday with friends. I had to work in the morning, quickly followed by a girls lunch at Scotty’s Landing and then an amazing Panther game with more friends. I had to make sure I looked comfortable and cute, and this definitely fit the bill.

I added this fun nautical jacket for the hockey game, and I am so glad I did! It was absolutely freezing for this Miami girl, but the team’s amazing shots and nerve-wracking moments proved to provide a little warmth here and there.
