Fall Trends To Refresh Your Wardrobe

Fall Trends To Refresh Your Wardrobe

Good morning, Pretty Ladies,

Need a little wardrobe refresh for fall?

If you want to refresh your fall wardrobe, I’ve got some top picks that will keep you looking stylish all season long without breaking the bank! Something about the change of season makes you want to add a few new pieces to your wardrobe. 

Today, I am sharing a few essential items you could add to your Fall wardrobe that work now for a tremendous summer-to-fall transition and that you’ll be able to style all through the Fall season. I always say, “A great and affordable way to stay current” is adding on-trend accessories to your wardrobe each season. 

Accessories finish off the outfit while also changing its look. Have you ever noticed how you can change a basic outfit just by styling it with your accessories?

My girlfriends Cindy, Suzane, and Dawn are joining me today to share FALL for our monthly blog hop. I’ve linked them below, and you want to see what they’re sharing today, as I know it will be amazing.

Adding a few essential accessories to your wardrobe

On-trend Fall Accessories 

Fall Trends To Refresh Your Wardrobe


Belts

Belts have been an accessory trend, from designer to Amazon finds, for the last few years. This fall, you’ll see even more, from thin to wide. Belts add interest, flatter your figure, draw attention to your waist, and add texture to your outfit.

Belts are for every style, whether you’re a quiet Luxury classic dresser, a girl who wears mostly work wear, jeans, a tee shirt, a dresser, or that country gal. Several cute belts are on trend this season in every shape, thickness, and style. 

Here are a couple I love and a couple I’ve styled.

Shop Belts Below:

Fall Trends To Refresh Your Wardrobe

Chunky earring 

The 80s-style chunky gold workwear earrings started making a comeback last year, and they’re making an even bigger statement this year. 

I picked up this designer-inspired pair at the end of 22 and have been wearing them weekly ever since. I love the classic feel, yet they’re just the perfect size to wear casually with jeans and a tee, great for work wear, and great with dresses. These aren’t heavy, and the quality is fantastic for $12-14, compared to the $890-1400 designer look-alikes. 

Here are a few more affordable, on-trend, chunky earrings to refresh your wardrobe.

Bangle Bracelets

I’ve always been a bangle bracelet girl. I love a good arm party or arm candy stack, and bangles are a great way to add texture, color, and interest to any look for any season. 

However, we are seeing them coming in strong for Fall. A great stack I’ve owned for years is my BudhaGirl all-weather bangles. I’ve enjoyed these waterproof bangles because they’re light and can be worn underwater. They also take all the guesswork out of creating a stack. You can purchase the 3/5/7/9 stack bundles. 

I am a “more” kind of gal, and I adore you. Mix these bangles with your other favorite arm party bangles and bracelets. 

Here’s the Budha girl bangles I own:

I’ve created a few bracelet stacks that would be perfect for the summer-fall transition and would significantly refresh your wardrobe.

Shop the Leopard Dress and Bangles HERE

Fall Necklace trend

Pendant necklaces are making a comeback. I love a suitable statement pendant. They add a longer line to your outfit, giving the illusion of length, so if you need a little height or a slimming effect, a pendant necklace does that. 

I love necklace stacks, and it’s okay if you do, too. There are still a variety of ways to style them.

Pearls and Chunky bold gold pieces are also on trend and a great way to refresh your wardrobe.

Outfit Details On Trend For Spring

Lady’s Jackets came on the scene for Fall and Winter last year, and we see them in huge numbers this year. Ranging in prices from Amazon finds to Luxury, these cute pieces are great for dressing up jeans and a tee or perfect with slacks and pencil skirts for Fall.

Shoes

Ladylike shoes bring a touch of unexpected fancy-femme to fall’s hot denim silhouettes.

Cap-toe shoes, ballet flats, Mary Janes, pointed-toe shoes, classic loafers, and feminine details like a kitten heel with embellishments and buckle detail are some of the shoes we will see this fall. Shoes are a great way to update your look and can be affordable. Red is hot for shoes, and leopard print is some of the shoes we will see this fall.

Fall color trends

Adding Trending colors

Color trends are easy to incorporate and a great way to update your wardrobe.  

Shades of green, with olive green coming in on top. There is a lot of brown. Red is still popular, but plum/Wine and Terracotta/ Pumpkin are coming in strong.

As I’ve shared before, Something about the change of season makes you want to add a few new pieces to your wardrobe. Adding color trends is an easy way you can incorporate a trend without being too “trendy” if you like me and have more of a chic, classic style and like to add a pop of whimsy or something that makes a statement. Color is a great way to incorporate something new. Whether it’s the latest accessories, shoes, a bag, or a new arrival of clothing, a trending Color can easily update some of your classic pieces. 

Olive Green:

Olive green evokes space, wisdom, and compassion for humanity. It is also associated with harmony, diplomacy, and self-love.… Olive green represents the traditional color of peace.

This is a great color that pairs well with all the shades of fall; it looks preppy with navy and Chic & casual with denim.

Shades of Red:

Red is a powerful color and super fun to incorporate into your wardrobe. Everyone has a shade of red that works with their skin tone, blue or orange tones. Find the one that works for you. 

I am a blue-tone red girl. Last year, I started adding red pops with my accessories: a great bag, fun bow flats, a pair of red tennis shoes, a red belt, and even a red cashmere sweater and blazer. And I must say they were some of my favorite pieces, which I’ve worn repeatedly. 

They added that pop, yet worked with my classic workwear, dressed up a button-up and jeans to accessorize my summer style. 

Fall Trends To Refresh Your Wardrobe

Shop this Fall transition look HERE.

Terracotta, or I Like to call it, Pumpkin.

Pumpkin is a color I love in the fall, and it pairs very well with Leopard and denim. It’s a fun color for the season but can be tricky for some skin tones to wear. Incorporating this color into your wardrobe is a great way; if it does not look great, try it with accessories or a fun pair of pants or jeans. This color is great with cream, brown, and olive green shades.

Leopard is an all-time favorite and, in my eyes, a classic pattern that is also neutral. Whether you want to add a pop to your accessories or wear it from head to toe, leopard is a must this year.

Staple colors:

The staple colors, like shades of green, camel, beige, etc., are always favorites during fall. You know I am a big fan of ivory/cream and could wear it daily. In the fall, it pairs well with everything.

Denim:

Denim is always going to be a fall staple. Last year, we saw denim on Denim looks in a strong way, and that will continue this year, as will more denim dresses, all styles of denim jeans and pants, and a variety of denim jackets in all shapes and styles. 

3 Trendy Dresses from Target Perfect for Fall Transition

Denim dresses in every style and lengths are a must this season

Our oldest son is getting married on August 24th, and I know it will be here so fast. As we’re getting closer, I’ve been emotional several times. Maybe this will help me have my emotions under control by the wedding week. 

I haven’t done a Favorite Things wrap-up in a while, where I share what I have been loving and wearing or using on repeat. I thought sharing for our monthly blog hop with Dawn, Cindy, and Suzanne today would be fun. They’ll be sharing their July Best Sellers, favorites for summer, or things they love. Their blogs are linked below, so head over to them and see what they shared today.

—Things I am loving lately—

I could say “Favorite Things,” but my True favorite things aren’t “things”… It’s family, & friends, entertaining/hosting, making a home a home-cooking, gardening and traveling, and wandering boutiques, bookstores, and antique stores. 

So, with that said …. Things I am loving lately will do! Ox

10 Favorite Things 

Fashion

Eric Javits, budha girls, jeffery campbell

Eric Jervits bag, Budha Girl Bracelets, Jeffery Campbell sandals

Bags

Eric Jervits has a straw/rattan bag that comes with a clutch. The quality is impressive. It is fully lined, and the leather trim detail makes it sturdy and a piece you can use season after season. It truly goes with everything from pool attire to shorts and dresses.

Amazon Seamless Panties– If you love skims or hanky-panky thong panties, you’ll love these seamless packs of the BEST buttery-soft panties for under $19. They stay put, don’t roll, and are genuinely seamless—no panty lines, no matter what you wear! I give these as gifts to my girlfriends who like things, and they adore them and always purchase more! This is a genuine BEST SELLER for me.

Shoes

Jeffery Campell Sandals– Linques Flip Flop: A polished, link-shaped buckle and diagonally slanted square-toe top, this sleek flip-flop is crafted from smooth leather. Jeffrey Campbell consistently delivers a range of edgy, on-trend footwear, from bold shapes to versatile basics. Year after year, the fun-loving brand’s fresh, lively silhouettes delight, inspire, and never disappoint. I genuinely love his shoes, and these are a pair I’ve been living in all summer. They go with everything from shorts to linen pants, jeans, and sundresses. If you pack correctly, you could take these on a trip and go from pool to evening with these shoes.

Jeans

Oversized Cuffed Jeans– I am completely obsessed and have several pairs in various washes, brands, and price points. I’ve always loved a cuffed boyfriend’s jeans and even a straight leg. (to be honest, I’ve been wearing for years, and it’s always been a great way to wear jeans that might be just a hair too short because of my height. I could cuff them and make them look right. It always felt a little French-inspired. You can get wide-leg, patch-pocket, and straight-leg denim in various washes and price points. Let me tell you, I am in love with them all. I am sharing below all the styles I’ve been wearing on repeat for the last couple of months, and I even have this Risen pair in a lighter wash arriving tomorrow.

Jewelry

Budha Girl Bracelets-BuDhaGirl Gold All Weather Bangles, remarkable bangles redefine elegance with their weightless, soundless, waterproof, and TSA-proof design. Crafted to perfection, each set comprises nine bangles, symbolizing intentions for the day. Wear them anywhere, as their soundless and waterproof nature ensures seamless integration into any setting. If you wear only one stack of bracelets, I will pick these! They go with everything and can even be worn in the pool. Wear it all year long. 

For the Home

things I am loving

A steamer for clothes—a clothes steamer with fast wrinkle removal and a large 300ml tank. It is ideal for all fabrics, is easy to use, is compact, and is a portable travel garment steamer. I use this every day! It’s easy to use, fills, and heats up almost instantly.

 

things I am loving

Bud vases—This small flower bud vase set of 12 features a transparent glass vase surface decorated with a retro embossed pattern. It is elegant and classic, and it can be used for center table decoration, enhancing the style of the interior space! On Sale right now, $21.99, 24% off a set of 12. I’ve used it on the dining room tables, nightstands, kitchen island, and even outside on the patio. I originally purchased them to mix with glass vases I already owned for the garden bridal shower I threw for my future daughter-in-love.

Flats Styled from Day to Night with Ally Shoes

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. Ours was pretty busy! I had a baby shower to go to, and my nephew got into town with his friend, which meant we had a house full of boys for Sunday breakfast and dinner. My love language is cooking and hosting, so my heart was whole. 

Today kicks off the Nordstrom Sale, open for everyone to shop. Let me tell you, it’s a great sale this year. I have several blog posts and an Instagram post & Highlights with all my picks that I think you would love. Items have been selling fast, but they do restock throughout the sale. Make sure to follow me on Instagram for all the up-to-date info. I created a Nordstrom collection over on LTK HERE to make shopping for you easy. The sale goes until 8/4. With that said, I will be covering it until the end. It’s my favorite sale to shop all year, as I genuinely believe there are great pieces and deep discounts on items typically not on sale. 

My Try-on Haul HERE

Ally Shoes

Now, after that little life catch, let’s get to today’s blog post, all about flats Styled from Day to Night with Ally Shoes. I love a great pair of flats, maybe because I am tall? Perhaps because I feel like you can style them in so many ways and that they are appropriate for many of life’s everyday occasions. 

Ally Shoes is a new brand that I have fallen in love with. Today, I will share a little behind-the-scenes reason and an easy outfit you can take from a casual day look to a night look with just a couple of accessory changes. 

 

Flats Styled from Day to Night with Ally Shoes— Styled Day to Night—

 How cute are these tweed Cap Toe  flats  by Ally shoes 

You can take shoes from Day to night, style them casually, wear them for work wear, or dress up for drinks with friends! 

I am a sucker for a cute flat, and I love the mixture of textiles with this pretty shoe. Tweed is a classic and elegant textile with a rich feel; adding the patient leather cap toe elevates the whole shoe and gives it that designer feel.

About this look

Want an easy outfit combo you can wear from Day to night by making additions and swap-outs? I’ve got you covered. This formula can be quickly followed with any top or bottom.

Pick your base outfit- I choose a tank top and wide-leg cuff denim jeans here. Then, you select your Ally shoes. I decided on the Textured cap toe flat from the London collection ( a limited edition). These are considered the base piece of your outfit. This base is cute, but let’s take it up a notch with the finishing touches and accessories! For the Bangle bracelets, a statement ring, Gold hoops, and a tote. Regarding the Day look, accessories are the “icing on the cake,” They can be used to finish any outfit. 

The easy part is taking this look to a nighttime look or even a more appropriate work look. Same base pieces, and adding a #rd piece to the blazer, in this case, it a cropped blazer to add balance to the high-waisted front patch pocket wide leg jeans. Switching out the bag to a more structured bag gives the whole look a more professional look. Lastly, I changed the hoops for a classic gold and pearl elevated earring and the casual bangles for a collection of gold bald bracelets. 

By making these easy changes, you created two different looks you could wear for many everyday occasions.

About Ally Shoes

Ally Shoes is an innovative fashion brand designed for women by women. They make luxury footwear more accessible for women on the move. They re-engineered the statement heel with a podiatric surgeon to create a flexible structure that secures your foot and looks fabulous – now adding flats and boots to offer more inclusive, stylish, and comfortable dress shoes to all women. 

WHAT MAKES ALLY Shoes UNIQUE

-Patented Internal Structure

-To alleviate pain, they put precise cushioning under the three pressure points in your feet (heel cup support, arch support, and toe crest support). Patent Pending Internal Structure & Padded Insole.

-Inclusive Size Range of 18 sizes 

 MADE-TO-ORDER PROCESS- truly made just for you ✔️

Having shoes made to order makes you feel so special! I loved this process; Ally Shoes sends you a custom shoe fitting kit to ensure they get your shoes to fit just right. I would have thought this would cost a fortune, and their shoes are a fraction of the cost of designer shoes.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try-on Haul 2024

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try-on Haul 2024

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try-on Haul 2024

 Hello Pretty ladies, 

Yesterday, I headed to Nordstrom to try on the items I loved and had on my wish list in-store. I wanted to give you outfit inspirations and details on how the Items fit and what they looked like. Please view my full try-on here and save my highlights Here.

This sale has received extensive coverage; it is a great time to get deep discounts. However, this doesn’t mean you must go crazy and purchase just because it’s on sale. Be intentional with your purchases and inventory, as well as your needs and wishes.

Things I look for during the sale… Besides the six things I purchase every year, View HERE!

A few essential items to consider are Investment pieces, Cashmere, designer, Quality coats, bags, or sunglasses (Crewneck Cashmere Sweater), Shoes, and Premium denim. I look for brands that don’t often go on sale and take advantage of the opportunity to grab a few essential items I’ve been wanting. Which one is always a Free People sweater? I love the quality and fit, and they always have the style I love. 

The NSALE is always a great time to grab denim. Everyone should own at least one pair of premium denim for their wardrobe, and the NSALE is a great place to grab a pair on sale. Take note that Nordstrom’s sale also features several designer brands, or, I like to say, “Splurges.” This is a great time to score a key piece or two at discounted prices. View my Nordstrom tips Video HERE.

The Good Stuff

Let’s get to the good stuff: “Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try-on Haul 2024.” Please note that some items sell out fast; they do restock throughout the sale, and you can add it to your wish list or check with me on LTK or in my stories and HERE as I update as the sale goes on.

I hope you enjoy seeing some of the pieces I own and a peek at my wish list, I am swooning over them. Perfect pieces to add to your Summer wardrobe, transition into Fall, and pieces you’ll live in all Winter! This Sale is the best price of the Year and makes for a great time to stock up. I will share my anniversary and beauty picks later in the week.

Apply here to shop for the Cardholder sale from July 9th to August 4th. Store sales will open to the public from July 15th to August 4th. Are you a cardholder?

Things to Know about the Sale

Link to apply for Nordstrom card HERE

If you want to score early access, apply for a Nordstrom credit card ASAP. The retailer offers two types of cards, a retail credit card and a Visa credit card, which provide the same benefits and are eligible for early access to the Anniversary Sale. While your cardmember status depends on yearly spending amounts (shared below), all cardmembers automatically start at Influencer status, which means you’ll get an extra four days to shop the Sale before it opens to everyone.

Insider tips

Early access for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins tomorrow for Cardholders, and even I can’t stop until the 11th! The bummer is that things start selling quickly, so I have some tips!

  • Shop online! This is where you will find the most extensive selection!
  • Add to Wishlist! If you see something you love, add it to your wishlist, so the day you’re able to shop, you can immediately “add to cart”!
  • Add a different size! If the size you are looking for sells out in your size, add a different size to your shopping bag and check back often as things get returned and stocked! I’ve even had luck exchanging after the sale for the correct size and color.
  • Expedite Shipping! For $20, this bumps your order and gives you a better chance to get what you want!

How I am Breaking Down the Sale:

What I will be sharing from the Nordstrom sale is broken down. I feel breaking the Sale down and scaling it into categories is essential. Hopefully, you will find this method easier and won’t feel overwhelmed. Please note that I go through every sale item and think about what a great deal is and what closet staples are great to add without going overboard. I also choose items that are hard to find on Sale, so shopping for them now may be your only chance to get them on Sale. Follow my Shop.

Melanoma Cancer Journey
—Part 7–

—3rd Laser surgery & Update— and STAGES

➡️Slide through  slides ➡️
To view process ⚠️SLIDE 6 is crazy

 12 weeks  after my First (Scar revision treatment) laser treatment round 3 CO2 doing Excel V Laser treatment.

🚨Scar revision 
C02 2 kinds of laser
Deep core - (first 2 treatments)
Or EXcel V - (3rd treatment)
*Excel V - redness & topical
*Deca- core & topical 

I was diagnosed in December, Surgery in January and my first laser in February.

I’ve been sharing this Journey in hopes to help encourage you to make a skin check up appointment. 

Melanoma Cancer is deadly and very different from Skin Cancer.

Melanoma cancer is deadly,  early detection is key, before it can spread to lymph nodes, organs, &  blood. 

If your new here or just seeing this post, I have 6 other parts with all the info and my Journey to date in Feed and stores saved to highlights with more info.

Thank you for all the kind messages, comments and prayers! I appreciate you being apart of my tribe.

Thank you and NOW make your Skin Appointment! 

I am happy to answer any questions in Dm
