Morning gang, hope y'all have had a lovely week---been a beauty here in the Bluegrass! The Oxford Shirt.... man is this sucker versatile. I know, I tout the word 'versatility' all the stinkin' time, but in this transitional phase we're embarking on season wise, it is of the utmost importance in my opinion. I promise you all the Oxford Shirt will give you so much bang for your buck year round. Clearly I'm diggin' it solo. It is also the perfect layering piece (think under SWEATERS, BLAZERS, JACKETS, with PRINTED PANTS all buttoned up with a STATEMENT NECKLACE under a folded collar)--such a goodin' with endless options! Crisp, fresh, versatile equals a perfect recipe for a closet staple! Make it a good one!

Got a little fall teaser this weekend with some mild temps--it was just a perfect excuse to break out this little number! Yet another fall staple I think is a must--the Tweed Jacket. I am just loving it dressed up and clearly dressed down. So much so that I'm definitely thinking of snagging another one of these lovelies--check out some fun options below, y'all have a great start to the week:
New LunchBox, Backpack, Threads...could only mean one thing...Back to School Shopping! Hands down one of my most fave times of year as a kid. I can vividly remember getting home with all of my new goodies, laying them out on my bed, and getting down to the business of the "First Day of School Outfit." Now my big gal is heading back to 1st grade next week and while she wears the standard khaki/polo school uniform, it got me thinking...What would my back to school uniform look like if I was to head back to the hallowed halls of SFHS? I love the idea of the traditional khaki/collared shirt all buttoned, tucked, and prepster; however, I would definitely spruce her up a bit with bold hues, bags, and baubles! If I may make a suggestion for a fall staple purchase...the SchoolBoy Blazer.
I have had this one for at least 5 seasons, I never tire of it, it goes with so many darn things, I am definitely getting it in another shade this season--it's just a goodin! Y'all can shop pieces of the look below if you so choose:
dress (Milly, Bella Rose, Lex, KY or HERE), trench (Zara old, Love this GAP trench), shoes (Nine West), clutch (JJ Winters--alternate colors), shades (Colors in OptiCS), bracelet (J.Crew & Voce, Lexington KY), necklace (Stella & Dot), watch (Cartier), ring (David Yurman)
Aside from the print which I am completely digging with this frock, this lovely is beyond versatile! Not only do the colors give you many options to play with, I took the liberty of tossing on a trench to show it will easily transition to fall. Try Removing the rope belt and replace her with a brown one or how about trying her out with a leopard-esque printed shoe (shop the look below).... This number gets an "A" in my book for transitional wear! Moral of the story, just because it may appear to be a summer frock at first glance, with a few simple changes, you can transform summer into fall look quite simply! Hope y'all have a great start to the week....make it a good one!
