Peachy keen.

Peach and red are probably the most underrated color combo. I've decided...unofficially. And leopard just works with this duo might I add. 

We've been experiencing some picture perfect Fall weather. The colors have been exploding all over our neighborhood. Fall truly is the best in the Midwest and it's so fleeting. We are trying to soak up every Fall activity you can think of including but not limited to pumpkin patches, fests, parties...the list goes on.

Skirting formal.

Sometimes I want to dress up but I don't want to put forth the energy. You ever have those days? You don't want to wear jeans but you know you don't want to wear a LBD. I have a solution for that! This skirt

P/S Sunday's are always excluded from this scenario. On this day we wear no makeup and sweatpants. I'm sorry. I'm not sorry.

Watercolor.

This week's outfit posts are all about styling your moto jacket to create several different looks. One of my favorite unexpected ensembles is with a ladylike shift dress such as this bodycon one. I love the juxtaposition of classic meets tough in any size, shape or format. It's easily the most affordable way to get mileage out of summery prints and transition them into Fall.

Meet my version of Fall pastels...

On content and change...

I've had multiple conversations as of late regarding my blog rebrand and content shift. Seems only fitting I discuss the reasons why I focus more on fashion and less on family these days. Maybe you're not one to notice or care all that much but it's been weighing on my brain and let's face it...there's only so much that fits up there these days! 

It all started with a conversation I had with a local blogger momma about featuring our kiddos. Since then it's been reinforced by a couple other moms I respect and some of my peers in the industry. Let's just say this was an "aha" moment for me.

Q3 Style Round Up

The Q2 Style Round Up was tempered by layers and a heavier mix of pants. Q3 is clearly all about the dress...or legs I suppose. Summer is one of my favorite dress seasons as indicated above. That and color...lots of color! 

Hard to believe we've hit the last remaining months of the year. I feel like before we know it we will be talkin' turkeys and holiday decorations. Ooof!

I got it from my...man!

Sometime the best fashion inspiration comes from your husband's closet. And sometimes you need a break from flirty dresses and statement pieces. I completely endorse experimenting with your look based upon your mood. As exhibited here. 

I will tell you one thing...I was comfortable the day I shot this. It was pretty phenomenal.

Errands.

I've talked about this before but after a week of meetings and events and fancy dresses; all I want to do is throw on jeans and a flannel. Layering season is my favorite!

Fact: this is the first year I refused to buy sugary coffee drinks. Pumpkin lattes included. It's weird I realize but all I crave is black coffee. Is that odd?

#MBFW Day 3 favorites.

Rounding out my #NYFW experience with the final recap...Day 3. (Day 2 recap here) I apologize for the delay in posting today. Truth is, I'm tired. 70-hour work weeks will do that to you. Anyhoo, FASHION - let's discuss.

We kicked off the morning early for Lie Sangbong. (not easy when dehydration levels run high and caffeine levels are low) Lie Sangbong was new to me. 

By the time we walked out of the hotel that morning, it was 98 degrees. I swear. Which is why I so smartly wore a tweed suit. Observe.
