Autumn is coming...



I look so mean...

Close up of the coat



It's coming quick. Fall, I mean. Summer is running away and we can't capture it. I miss it. :( But, now that it's fall. Autumn, such a beautiful time. Leaves falling, beautiful scenery to look at. I've had to adjust my wardrobe into fall mode, a change I don't mind, but I do wish that it was summer still. Possibly because of the amazing summer I had. But that's another story and another post. I digress. This outfit was based largely on the jacket. It's actually my brother's, but he was trying to give it away so I rescued it from the pile and made it my own. I had to belt it to get it to fit, but other than that, it's a really good jacket (although I am taking it to the tailor to get more fitted in the waist). I wore it with a thermal, my skinny cargos, and gold kicks.
P.S. I looked really mean in the majority of these pictures and it was truly hard to choose pictures. So that's why there's so little.

1 Dress, 5 WAYS!!!!

(The Dress)
In this recession, it's not very wise to be spend money on a million different dresses. Why not find one versatile dress and accesorize it to look different everytime? I took up this challenge with a regular dress I bought at Macy's. I pretty much accesorized it with different jackets and belts...

Next, I added a purple cropped bomber jacket. The purple draws the eye up and the cut of the jacket should make an hourglass shape and create a slim waist...

For an edgier look, I put on a black blazer over the dress and tied a white belt to bring the eye to the waist.
For a preppier polished look, I added a blouse to the mix and tied a ribbon to keep it from being plain...
I kept the top buttons unbuttons to make the pretty ruffles peek out and then tied it below the waist.
Last look...
I used my navy military jacket and tied it with the same with white belt, used in the blazer look. The jacket gave the dress a tougher feel and made it more casual...
Looks amazingly adorable, right? One of my favorite looks with the dress.
I also tried the dress out with a glittery belt on the blazer and military jacket... I decided that it would be a little too much to wear casually... But for a night out, it would be so cute...
and . Needless to say, it looked super cute with the miltary jacket because it was a great combination. But it did make the blazer more polished and refined.
Remember everything can look a different way, if you pair it with the right things. Good luck, my pretties!!!
