September Favorites

I can't believe how quickly September went by, it's okay though because I love the month of October. It feels like it is now officially fall, of course not weather wise (it's still in the 90's here). But October means decorating for Halloween and all things pumpkin flavored! 

I have a busy month ahead, I will be packing up and moving out of my apartment. Then in the last week of October, my boyfriend and I will be celebrating our anniversary with a trip to Boston. This will make three trips there in just one year-- a little crazy! I'm looking forward to a little vacation and actual fall weather.








If you didn't see my post from last week make sure to shop my closet on Poshmark. I added a few more things over the weekend. Make sure to check back next week I'm sure I will continue adding more as I pack!

Poshmark

I came across Poshmark months ago, I created an account but never really used it. After recently cleaning out my closet I thought this would be a great time to start using my Poshmark account. I'm not sure why I didn't start using this site earlier. It's sort of like Pinterest meets a thrift store treasure hunt. The site looks similar to Pinterest only you can purchase everything!

 If you want to start using Poshmark or you already have an account, make sure you follow me by clicking the link below: 


Here's how Poshmark works, first sign up and create your account. If you want to sell items, take photos and upload them to your profile. Not ready to sell? No worries you can still browse. If you see something  that catches your eye you can share it with your followers, like it, or go ahead and purchase it. There are so many great deals on Poshmark, it's like an online treasure hunt.

Oldie but Goodie

This outfit is definitely an oldie but a goodie. I've had this skirt and top since college and I vividly remember having this outfit on non-stop repeat for about three months straight. I rediscovered how much I loved it while looking through old pictures recently and I decided to add the denim vest on top. Now I love it even more.

Floral Skirt

I love mixing old pieces with newer ones, it makes an old item feel new again. This skirt is another thing that has been in my closet for years. I haven't worn it in a long while and I thought it was perfect for a Sunday spent running errands with the boyfriend. 

Another thing I love, this bag. You guys are probably sick of seeing it but I love how it looks a little edgy. Most of my clothing is subdued or feminine but I can carry this bag with any look and it adds a little bit of edge.

Best LBD Ever

This really is the best LBD ever. I bought it years ago and I've probably worn it a gazillion times. I can dress it down with flats, style it professionally with a blazer or formally for special occasions. I don't own a whole ton of professional clothing so when I was getting ready early one morning (too early for my brain to function) I grabbed this dress. Throw on a blazer and heels and you would never know that I was half asleep-- thank goodness for Starbucks!

White After Labor Day?

I'm so happy that I decided to order this skort. I've worn it a ton already and I'm always thinking of a million different ways to style it. I already have a list of outfits planned for the cooler weather-- if it ever decides to get here. I'm thinking about ordering it in the white as well. I know, I know it's after labor day, but it's okay I'm a huge proponent for breaking the rules and wearing white in winter.

Still Summer

Forget everything I've said recently about wearing muted tones for fall. It's technically not fall yet and it sure doesn't feel like the weather is going to cool down anytime soon. I've decided to take these last few weeks of summer and wear all the brightly colored outfits I haven't worn yet this season. One piece I absolutely love is this sequined mini skirt which I haven't worn that much this summer. Second thought-- I just thought of a cute way to style this skirt for the winter time. And cue the fall excitement again.

Office Attire

I'm sorry I've been absent from blogging recently, but I have some good news. I started a new job this week; I'm so excited to start this new adventure! The first week of a new job is always stressful and a little hectic, plus I'm still working at my other job as well which makes my spare time super limited. Hence the lack of time to blog.

I did however have time to snap some photos of the outfit I wore for my first day. I'm not going to lie, I generally hate office attire. Don't get me wrong, there are tons of cute options out there. But I hate the mundane black and grey suits, plus it's difficult to find things that fit well and are figure flattering. I found this pencil skirt at Target a couple of weeks ago, it fits great and feels well-made. I couldn't pass up the fun leopard print, it's a great piece to add to an otherwise boring office outfit.

What are your thoughts on office attire, do you love it or hate it?
