Navy Days

 

coat (J.Crew on SALE), sweater & blouse (GAP, love THIS), bag (Kate Spade), chucks (Converse), belt (J.Crew), watch (Michael Kors), shades (Gucci), bracelets (GAP, BaubleBar, Stella & Dot, Adele of Lexington), ring (David Yurman)

If I had to sum up a go to look of mine, this would be it.  I'm a working mom who has a nano second to get ready most days and therefore a laid back look that is still pulled together is key.  And how about the color navy?  Pink, Green, Neon, Gray, Camel, Red, Orange, & Yellow all pair so beautifully with it.  I've almost worn out this sweater's welcome (remember THIS & THIS)--it is just too cozy to part with; however, I'm thinking THIS MADEWELL LOVELY would certainly be a nice substitute.  

PS:  Did you see last night's Playing Dress Up Post with Tops in Lex?  If only I could get all dolled up like that everyday!  Y'all make it a good one!

Dots & Spots

What's not to love about a good Polka Dot?  It's all the rage right now and basically adorns anything you see fit.  Yes, they look great with solids, but don't forget about stripes, checks, or even a small pop of leopard!   This lovely sweater is going to get major mileage this fall!  See below for other ways the Dot is gracing our presence.  Here's to a lovely weekend, gang (PS:  the kicks are on sale for $55)!
