Goodbye Gingham, Hello Danskos

It's been a while since I've done a fashion post here so I thought I'd share last Friday's outfit. It felt like my last opportunity to wear something sort of summery, so I did, white pants, gingham and all.

Top: Old Navy, Belt: JCrew Factory Store, Pants: JCrew

I was also loving the light that was filtering through our window shades that morning.

There's just something about it that makes me want to stay in bed all day and relax, but unfortunately, there are bills to be paid.

Well, this is probably one of the last fashion posts you'll see from me for a while. Once colder weather hits, my wardrobe gets pretty depressing and I become absolutely perplexed at what to wear to work.

Why I dislike fall/winter work wear:

• it's never warm enough
• pants rarely fit me well
• cute, well fitting blazers are too expensive
• I'm not good at layering
• business appropriate shoes never feel comfy on my feet. Danskos, here I come!

But while I don't enjoy fighting my closet each morning, I absolutely love casual wear in the evenings and weekends. 

My favorite casual wear:

• jeans
• Fryes
• rainboots
• hoodies
• cozy socks

Okay, fall, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. There are going to be some beautiful days ahead, but I just might look a little frumptastic in my Danskos and sweater piled on top of sweater.

Any tricks for dressing well in fall? What's your favorite item in your closet right now? The last item of clothing you purchased and got a heck of a deal on?

This gingham button down was actually on sale at Old Navy for $9.99 down from $24. It's always a nice reward for delaying a purchase when you see that little orange sticker or a sale sign. Happy Fashion Friday!
