Embracing my inner California girl, I threw on a pair of booties and short shorts for a hot day in Michigan. The weather was not too hot for me though (obviously). After all, I did wear a black sweater! (The silk camisole was very airy though, so that balanced my outfit out; plus, I was comfortable in and out of shade all day.)
The booties that I am wearing were purchased from Sears a couple of years ago. This had to be the, say, third time I even really wore them? I have no idea how come I did not put these booties into good play, but I for sure am going to this upcoming fall! I'm probably digging these more because (1) my style continues to grow and change, and (2) I can envision the pieces in my closet that would work well with these booties more so now compared to when I first bought them.
This entire outfit is pretty much how I start to transition into fall-wear. I keep certain things such as shorts and breezy tops in rotation because the weather is still pretty hot. However, sweaters get unpacked. (Although I never officially put them away. Eh.) They're perfect for those balmy, late-summer nights. Another thing that comes into play are booties! They are key to my summer to fall clothes transition. The amount of times that they can be worn is re-dunk-u-lous.
I have no idea how fashion bloggers narrow all of their posts down to, like, three/four photos. It's impossible for me! "Oh my gosh! I don't look stupid in that one; I must post it!" is what I do when reviewing all of the photos that I (or someone else) took [of me]. As a female, you probably understand me, no? No...it's just me, okay. That's cool, too. (Not really; I'm just trying to comfort my hurt ego.)
Does an overload of photos bother y'all? I actually don't mind them because this blog is sort of like my journal. I enjoy seeing good photos of myself (no matter how grainy they may be -- I honestly need a better camera), so I feel as if I am going to continue doing a photo overhaul. But don't worry! I hardly get a ton of good photos of myself, so don't worry about it being too much. (Haha!)
This bootie is the cause of my lust. Honestly, these are one of the most comfiest, yet stylish boots that I have come across that do not break the bank ($39.99) {I tried them on when at Sears earlier}. Sears tend to be iffy on their shoes; however, when I do find a pair from there, I love, love, love them! The quality is generally amazing, too. I am thinking that next Friday I am going to buy these. Note: This bootie runs a size small.
This bootie is a nice alternate to the prior bootie, although I am loving the first ones more. I haven't tried these booties on, but they look amazing. Plus, they are on sale for $19.99 versus their original $49.99.
I love the different textures on this boot! Although the price is kind of out of my budget ($95.99 on sale, $119.99 regular) {hey, I have no job and get an allowance - I'm still 15!}, I love this boot. Maybe I could convince my mum to splurge a little on me. ;)
More set inspiration. Hey, hey, hey. I can officially say that I have survived the first week of school. It's Friday now, and I am plenty excited to sleep in tomorrow, and not have anything to do (aside from watching reruns of Friends, How I Met Your Mother, and Full House). I can already feel myself slipping into 'don't-really-care' syndrome that I experience every school year (essentially me not caring what the heck I wear to school because it's too much of a hassle). However, I want to try and not get into it so quickly. This means more shopping for me (yippee!) Anyhoo, how has your week been? I hope it was fabulous!
For now, I am going to share with you some more fall pieces that I have come up with. Enjoy your Friday, y'all! You may (or may not) see me around these parts this weekend. Don't look for me! ;) Haha.
Song Choice: 'Stutter' by Marianas Trench. I truly adore this song. There is no exaggeration coming from me here. Just click play below.
I want to complain about Autumn coming. I really want to tell you that I hate it and wish that it stayed away forever because it's stealing the time that I could be spending with Summer. Not cool. Buuuuut, sadly I cannot. It would be a big fat lie if I were to say that I despised Autumn. What I actually despise is the return of school. But that is not the point. The point is that I love Autumn. So so so so so so much. The reason behind my not-so-hidden affair with Autumn (sorry Summer!)? Oh, I think it's because of the super chic booties, the oh-so-comfy, thick sweaters, football season, Halloween and...oh right, the mixture of my two affairs, Summer and Fall. Hm...that is something that I can celebrate.
Okay, I have to point out that those rainboots are completely fascinating. The take on rainboots are quickly changing from traditional to a little bit of everything. I can totally dig it (HAHAH, oh no. did I really just say that?). That emerald sweater is also fabulous. Slouchy, oversized goodness is what I can envision myself wearing this Fall. Add in a leather jacket, and I think I will be complete.
Song Choice: 'I Hope You Dance' by Lee Ann Womack. This song is really inspirational and just a nice song, overall. The amazing voice of Lee Ann is also a great factor on why I'm loving this song. So, y'know what, give it a listen below. See what I'm talking about.
