autumn

Now, it’s fall in Arizona but that doesn’t mean it has cooled down at all. In fact, Tucson has me thinking that it is still summer. It’s probably ninety degrees here but all of us fashionistas are just trying to pull out the skinny jeans and cozy sweaters. Alas, it’s not possible. So, here I am trying to find a fall outfit for hot weather.

So, I’ve settled on this look: combining fall textures with more minimal coverage to save myself from heatstroke.

I’m loving the satin look lately, especially in dainty slips and camis. This cami is Free People, but was my #poshfind for ten dollars. TEN DOLLARS. There are 4 colors available at 6pm (on sale, holla) but only two colors left on the Free People site. The faux leather skirt is also from Free People and it one of my most versatile skirts. I’ve worn it with tights to work, I’ve worn it to the bars, and I’ve worn it to class. I’ve gotten numerous compliments on it and, here’s the real kicker, if you wear it to the bar and someone spills on you, it rolls right off. That’s right. It’s not waterproof but it is a bit of a water repellent. Win-win.

I showcased the Urban Outfitters necklace and my Steve Madden booties in a previous post, and they are honestly still just as great in this outfit. The exact booties are sold out, but you can find similar ones here.

The jacket is one of my new favorite things; I wear it everywhere. It’s an oversized jacket in a size small from Nordstrom Rack. I think this one may be sold out, but Nordstrom Rack had my favorite deals on distressed denim jackets. Plus, they are so in style right now that you can practically find them anywhere.

I’m also back at it again with the Sashka Co. bracelets. I love them. They are so easy to weave into any outfit and you can feel good doing it. Sashka Co. is a socially responsible company that employs women in Nepal and all of their bracelets are handmade. I’m all about corporate social responsibility so I love their business model. Their bracelets are inexpensive, cute, and easy to stack so they are perfect for today’s layered looks.

    It finally got cold in GA but just a month ago I was doing the same thing. Sometimes it’s style vs comfort and sometimes style wins!
