Wishing you all the happiest of Thanksgivings with loads of quality time with your family and friends.  I will be taking a little blogging sabbatical to soak up some QT with my little ladies & hubs. See y'all next week--Happy Thanksgiving!

Pretty Graphic

blouse (Kate Spade, AJs Casuals, Lexington), pants (J.Crew on SALE), heels (Plenty by Tracy Reese--THESE on SALE), belt (J.Crew), clutch (Treesje), bangles (J.Crew), watch (Cartier), shades (Colors in OptiCS), ring (Lagos)

I immediately feel crisp & polished when wearing this Kate Spade lovely.  A fresh graphic with a darling bow tie..really, what's not to love?  I'm also picturing this blouse sleek & simple with skinnies and a Cobalt Blue Heel.  Take a gander at this look and some other current Kate Spade cravings below.  Make it a good one!

Double Mint

 jeans (J.Crew shallow sea), vest (J.Crew), shoes (Halogen, Bloomingdales),  chambray & striped tank (J.Crew), necklace (Banana Republic), bracelets (GAP, Jcrew, Adele of Lex), flats (Via Spiga), bag (Prada), belt (Gucci), watch (Cartier), shades (Colors in OptiCS), ring (David Yurman)

Double the pleasure, Double the fun!  Indeed, these Jeans have NOT done me wrong thus far.  I've owned them for approximately 3 weeks and have repeated the heck outta' them.  Seriously--worn these suckers with a light gray sweatshirt, camel blouse, navy & white striped Tee, White Blazer anchored with Black....Too many options to count!  They won't disappoint me in the fall either---all the colors above (navy, gray, or camel) in a good cozy sweater with some chucks or flat ankle boots--they'll do the trick indeed.

Y'all make it a good one!

Tweak the Dress

dress (Zara--sold out, similars BELOW),  jacket & belt (J.Crew),  leopard flats (Kate Spade), plaid flats (daniblack Monkees of Lexington, KY), trench (Zara, similar BELOW), spike bracelet (Asos & Stella & Dot), necklace (J.Crew single option HERE), clutch (vintage Gucci), watch (Tag Heuer), shades (Colors in OptiCS), ring (David Yurman), bag (Louis Vuitton Mon Monogram)

Staple.  This navy dress, my dears, is a nice, solid, staple.  It can be worn alone (sans belt if you so choose). It can be worn with a leather or UTILITARIAN JACKET (a must for the FALL).  It can be worn with a trench.  It WILL be worn with tights this fall/winter.  It can be paired with ballets, sandals, or heels.  It can be layered over a collared shirt.  It can be neutral or splashed with color (pink, turq, yellow, red, green).  It is without a doubt one of my fave lovelies in my closet!  So much so that I am super tempted to snag one of these pups below:
