DFT Prospect Prospects 205
Well, hello there! Fall has definitely arrived in California, and we can all rejoice in breaking out the sweaters, scarves & boots we’ve had in storage. I have a “healthy” collection of sweaters, mostly in the neutral color range (cream, black, grey, etc.) but my fall wardrobe was calling out for something crimson. I came across this Forever 21 sweater recently when browsing their website, and for around $20, I knew I couldn’t go wrong.. It has a slouchy fit, nice open weave, and a back cut-out detail that I love.
Speaking of neutrals, I’ve come to learn that leopard-print really can act as one, when it’s paired with the right tones! It can look great paired with cobalt, olive, magenta, really any shade, including other neutrals. I’ve been wearing these ankle-strap flats from Sole Society at least a couple times a week recently, and if you’re on the fence as to whether you should pick up a pair because you’re not sure what you’ll wear them with, I say, do it! Life is too short to wear boring shoes 😉

Playful Plaid

DFT Centennial Plaza Choices15 (1)I’m so excited to bring to the blog another look featuring designs from Layered by Cake boutique!
Shannon (LBC’s owner and stylist), and I met for the first time at an event I was volunteering at, Scarlet Threads Boutique. I noticed right away her great fashion sense and energy, but after speaking with her for an hour or so, I learned of her beautiful passion for wanting to help women discover the power of great style. It’s great working with local small business-owners, and Shannon has such a great eye for what will be on-trend but not “trendy” for the season.
When she asked me to stop by and pick out some of my favorite looks to photograph for Dressed for Time, I was immediately drawn to this plaid button-down. The mix of navy, peach and baby blue was unexpected, yet a no-brainer. When it gets a bit cooler, I would button it up and pair it with this navy cardigan, a belt, and a heavier jacket on top.
