Layering a Midi Dress and a Giveaway!

Layering a Midi Dress and a Giveaway - Fall Outift with Leopard Heels Hello, loves!
Two things I’m excited about in this post.. Actually, three, now that I think about it! First off, it’s finally temperature-appropriate to start layering again! I’m totally in to throwing a vest or sweater over a midi dress. Print mixing could get tricky here, so I prefer to keep the pieces basic and then accessorize with something more colorful, like jewelry or a great scarf. Second, I’m so in love with these new stone pieces from Ronnie M Jewelry. The long tassel necklace and wrap bracelet are handmade by an awesome lady entrepreneur, Veronica. She’s one of those women who is so proud and excited about what she creates, her enthusiasm for the line is infectious. Her website is now live, and I’m obsessed with all of the new fall-perfect goodies.
Last but not least, I’m excited to share a giveaway that’s currently going on Instagram. I’ve partnered with I Shop Simply to give away store credit to their expansive online boutique! I love this site because the inventory is constantly being updated with of-the-moment dresses, skirts, and tops, along with basics like tanks and tees at AMAZING prices. This midi dress, still available on the site, is only $27, and made of the softest stretch fabric. So flattering and versatile, definitely a win-win in my book! I’d also pair it with a plaid scarf and sneakers or a sparkly statement necklace and pumps. On top of that, I Shop Simply is offering 10% off to all of my readers with the code “dressedfortime” at checkout.

The contest ends Monday night, so be sure to head on over and enter for your chance to win 😀

One Item, 5 Ways ~ Downtown Chic

DFT- Downtown Tracks for keeps03 Look number 4 in the One Item, Five Ways series!
I had to admit, this may be my favorite of all of the looks that we shot for this series. I love how versatile it is! I could wear this pairing to work, on a date, out shopping or to one of my favorite outings, brunch with the girls.
Army green jackets have always been a staple in my wardrobe, and I feel like they’re an essential when the cooler weather hits. Some are super lightweight, like this JcPenney version that I’m wearing, unlined and with roll-up sleeves, and others can be fully insulated with hoods. They’re fantastic for adding a touch of edge to temper an outfit that’s a bit fancy or girly.

Fringe Binge

DFT-Club Sh_t Choices31 Love love love this fringe kimono! It has amazing colors throughout the pattern that allow for some great shade pairings.. a teal bag, purple and blue bracelets, orangey-brown boots.. And is an ideal layering piece for making the transition from summer to fall. Kimonos can easily add that “third-piece” finishing touch when worn with a tank and shorts, a shirt and jeans, or leggings and a slim-fit tunic.

Cali Cool Date Night

DSC_0062It’s difficult sometimes to make jeans and heels seem fresh for a date, but I say it’s all in the details. These D’orsay pumps have this sexy little curvature to them that I love. Cuffing the jeans (a style tip I picked up from Shannon at Layered by Cake Boutique) allows more skin to peek out to highlight the footwear (also helpful in this sweltering heat, they act as vents when you’re wearing skinny jeans haha!) Another fun detail from this look is the one-shouldered top from the quarterly blouse subscription service, Elizabeth & Clarke. It’s a flirty element that doesn’t leave you feeling too bare. I topped it all off with a very summery and fun scenic clutch that holds just the essentials.. cell phone, compact mirror, lipstick, gum, eyeliner, perfume vial, and credit cards/ID.
