Fall Vibes

November 21, 2016

Fall Vibes - Full Outfit Details There are a few things for me that give off those quintessential fall vibes… Colors of mustard, burgundy, and cognac; nubby textures of corduroy, soft knits in the form of open cardigans, scarves and slouchy caps; knee-high boots to keep out the new chill in the air. It’s finally starting to look like we can begin wearing these items in southern California! It’s actually been raining on and off today, which, totally random side note, makes people in my area drive soooooo slow. Like 10 under the speed limit slow, I was almost late to work today!
If you happened to read my latest Stitch Fix review, you may have seen that these corduroy pants were not exactly love at first sight, that was until I tried them on. They’re so soft, provide a whole lot of warmth, and the color is much more versatile than I initially thought it would be.
I’d love to know, what are your fall staples?

Mini Florals & Knee-High Boots

December 9, 2015

DFT Prospect Prospects02Well, hello loves!
I hope everyone is doing well and keeping mostly sane around these crazy holiday times. Mark and I braved Costco AND Sam’s Club yesterday and managed to get out of there relatively unscathed (and spent under $100!). I saw a lot of folks stressed out and I wanted to tell them to just calm down and enjoy this time. The holidays for me have never been about “winning” or who has the best of something, or even worse, who got the best gifts. It’s about family, friends, awesome food, relaxing and fun times!

Now for the outfit, because you knew I would get there eventually.. haha! I’ve had this floral print dress for maybe a decade and I seem to only wear it in the fall because I think it works so well paired with rich cognac and ruby tones. Dark florals are one of my favorite trends this year, because they are the perfect blend of feminine and edgy, kind of what I’m all about 😉

Playful Plaid

October 31, 2015

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.

Fringe Binge

October 2, 2015

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.
