While I am trying to hang onto the last few weeks of summer, I can’t help but continue to think about my fall wardrobe and the first day of school. I know I sound like a student, but teachers get that back to school feeling as well — haha. A staple in my closet is and has always been some sort of cardigan. Cardigans complement any outfit and are a versatile piece for anyone. Classic style is very important to me but I love to add flare whenever I can. Enter the polka dot!
How fun are polka dots? The answer — totally fun! In my opinion the polka dot design has never totally gone “out” of style. This past year designers have been incorporating the design for both fall and winter and it has been all over the runways — making the polka dots trendy again. Interesting that a style made famous by Minnie mouse is a hot trend this fall. Naturally, when I saw this particular cardi set from J.Crew I was instantly in love. Not only does it incorporate polka dot but red too! The best part about this particular cardigan set is the polka dots are a bit sparkly 🙂 Let’s be honest, we all can use a little sparkle in our lives. This is such a “me” outfit, especially for work. It’s classic with a hint of trend. I love this because it is really the type of outfit that is flattering for any body type and can be used for work or play. Versatility is super important to me and if you have read previous posts you will see that it is a common theme for me.
Typical scenario – go to work with this outfit, come home throw on a pair of jeans and I am off to sports practices, doctors appointments or to the grocery store with the kiddies. I am always looking for articles of clothing that will fit my lifestyle and all the running around – lol. Why not look stylish running around town? One of my favorite reasons for writing this blog is show that as you move into a different part of your life… it does not mean your personal style should go out the window. I think for me that happened for a few years after having my first child. I got into a fashion rut as I like to call it… but I feel like over the last couple of years I have found my way back and was inspired to share that with you all. XOXO
To add to this look I wore my FAVORITE pants! I have these pants in all the colors available… They are the J.Crew ponte pant and they are fabulous. The pant has a higher waist and are thicker than a legging and are super comfortable. The quality of the material is top-notch and will last forever. I have had mine for a couple of years and they still look brand new. The pants are a staple in the J.Crew line and I highly recommend them!
These beauties are Lucky Brand and they are the perfect fall bootie. If you are shopping around for a black bootie, stop right here. This shoe is so comfortable I can walk around for hours in them. I am on my feet teaching most of the day therefore, comfort is key! The perforated design and the darker stacked heel make this shoe pretty darn awesome.
Thanks for reading and stop by again!
