by 2 Comments

a professional look that pairs perfectly with your new Apple Watch // click for outfit details

I’m not gonna lie. I originally designed this outfit with a completely different watch. But then Apple released their new Watch yesterday. And I. Want. One.

Expect to see the Apple Watch in at least a few more blog posts. Because once I get my hands on one, I plan on wearing it with everything.

Oh, and if I were wearing this outfit, I’d cuff the jeans, like in this look that inspired this post.

1/ black blazer with contrast // 2/ cotton poplin tunic // 3/ dark denim jeans // 4/ amy necklace // 5/ apple watch //6/ slouchy tote // 7/ patent leather pumps

maxi skirt for fall with boots, scarf, statement necklace // click for outfit details

Maxi skirts are a ubiquitous summer staple. But that doesn’t mean you have to put them away when the temps start to drop. A maxi skirt can transition perfectly into fall. Just swap those sandals for short boots and top that tank with a cardigan (and a scarf if it’s chilly) and you’re all set!

1/ deep bank tank top // 2/ oversized ribbed cardigan // 3/ plaid silk maxi skirt // 4/ golden lightweight scarf // 5/ melissa necklace // 6/ bronze sequence ring // 7/ stem weekender bag // 8/ wedge ankle boots

how to wear a statement coat this fall

plaid statement coat and chunky chain necklace for fall // click for outfit details

I always feel a little conflicted at the start of fall. On one hand, it means the end of summer (and warm weather) and that winter is just around the corner. (Winter and I are not really friends.) On the other hand, fall fashion.

And fall really is the perfect time for fashion experimentation. Now that you don’t have to worry about sweating every time you walk outside, it’s easier to play with lots of different looks. Cooler mornings and evenings make layering not only possible, but essential. But, it’s not yet so cold that you need a million layers (and have to fight the desire to even leave the house in the cold).

So bring on fall fashion! Including a fantastic statement coat and some wedge booties. (Definitely my favorite type of heel.) This outfit could be perfect for a fall date night. You would certainly be the chicest person at the hay ride. (Or the football game. Because while I do like football, I like fashion more.)

1/ round collar wool coat // 2/ ripped boyfriend jeans // 3/ sheet sleeve tunic top // 4/ amy necklace // 5/ wings foldover clutch // 6/ wedge bootie

casual fall weekend style

casual fall weekend style // click for outfit details

It always seems a little crazy to talk about fall style when it’s still officially summer. (As someone who loves summer, it always makes me feel like I’m cheating a little.) But now that kids are back to school and there’s a slight chill in the morning and evening air, it’s hard to deny that fall is on it’s way.

This is one of those simple outfits that’s destined to become a fall uniform. The asymmetric hem makes a pretty basic shirt much more interesting, ankle boots are the way to go as we transition from summer to fall, and to top it all off, an easy to wear necklace.

With an outfit like this, it’s hard not to want fall to arrive!

1/ asymmetric sweater // 2/ slim boyfriend jeans // 3/ georgia necklace // 4/ wellspring clutch // 5/ ankle boots

daytime to date night

This is the perfect outfit to go from a day at work to meeting someone over drinks. (I’ll let you decide on the someone.) If your work doesn’t let you wear jeans (or it’s not casual Friday) you can always swap the denim for dress pants or a great skirt during the day and toss on the jeans before you hit the town!

1/ rose garden print top // 2/ slim fit boyfriend jeans // 3/ boxy blazer // 4/ daphne necklace // 5/ sequence ring // 6/ pensive pointed high heels

a weekend getaway by the water

I’ve spent the past week at the lake for our annual summer trip, so clearly I got visions of dockside gatherings on my mind. And while our trip is a campout (which equals more swimsuits and sweats than chic outfits) I can imagine wearing this outfit to a getaway involving brunch on the docks and evening strolls by the water.

1/ amy necklace // 2/ amy bracelet // 3/ grey espadrilles // 4/ striped refined tank // 5/ skinny jeans // 6/ kerri cardigan // 7/ stem weekend bag

an outfit that transitions from summer to fall

transition from summer to fall with these seven pieces // click for outfit details

As summer transitions into fall, the changing weather can make dressing tricky. It’s cooler in the mornings but hot in the afternoon. The secret to transitioning your wardrobe as the weather changes is to mix pieces you can layer together. A casual black dress is perfect for warm days, and if it’s cooler in the evenings, top it off with a military jacket. And as the weather starts to cool, you can mix in a pair of jeans to give your summer dresses even more distance.

Summer is, without a doubt, my favorite time of year. But at this point in the summer, I’m starting to dream of fall fashion. Fall style just affords you so many more options, what with all the layers. (After all, there’s only so much you can wear comfortably when it’s 88 degrees and 90 percent humidity.)

You could certainly pair this outfit with a more sensible shoe, but I love how mixing heels into this look takes the whole thing from potentially humdrum to high style.

1/ sleeveless blouse // 2/ book club glasses // 3/ lucy necklace // 4/ clydee heel // 5/ metallic thread cardigan // 6/ distressed jeans

how to dress up distressed denim

how to dress up distressed denim: featuring the melissa statement necklace by megan auman

Distressed jeans don’t always have to mean an outfit full of attitude. It can actually play a nice counterpart to a more uptown look, keeping an outfit like this from getting a little too polished. It makes for the perfect blend of feminine and edgy, topped off nicely by a statement necklace that adds a subtle hint of texture to a similar colored top.

1/ silk ruffle blouse // 2/ distressed jeans // 3/ melissa necklace // 4/ barrel bag // 5/ amy bracelet // 6/ amalia skimmer
