This is an outfit from late August (time travel, yay), but you can already see fall writ large all over it. Full disclosure: it was probably too cold for shorts that day, but I was deep in my denial. And, look here – I’m only 9 months late to the orchid trend, but I’m committed. Actually, I just have a mania about matching. Can you spot all the colour pairs in this outfit? (Hint: there are 3.)

matching. all. the. things

And, guys, sorry about the hair. Some days, when you’re at home with kidlets, this counts as effort. I kinda miss those days.

I couldn’t let the summer end without wearing my potato sack one final (really final) time. We had some great times together; I couldn’t have asked for more from a $13 piece of chambray, really.

Let’s look at my nails:

Pretty. Still loving this Free People cuff. Not the most practical piece of jewelry (it easily twists off my wrist), but it adds a dash of style to the most basic of basic outfits.

Stripes + Khaki

everything but the belt, Old Navy; belt, Gap

Aaaand … I’m officially all out of post titles. I guess I could have called this one “Head to Toe Old Navy”, because it is. Except for the belt … which is Gap. Same difference.

stripey

You will remember that I reviewed this dress last month, and was lukewarmish on the price. I had every intention of not getting it … and then the Labour Day sales rolled around, and this dress ended up being a one-day special. $12, you guys. I caved. Listen, I’ve yielded to worse temptations in my day.
