With fall just around the corner & a school already underway in some places, it’s time to start planning ahead! Recently, I’ve been more drawn to building up my collection of white & cream tops. Also, I’m excited to seize the opportunity to wear pumpkin hues!
In person, this top looks both comfortable for under a puffer vest or flannel or professional with a plaid trouser & ankle boots. My go-to is the black as the texture will enhance any look with a printed pair of pants, but I do love the other colors, too! I’m certainly not rushing the end of summer, but I’m excited to break these out with wide leg jeans, faux leather leggings, or a utility skirt.
With fall fashion here, you can explore your preppy or grunge 90s style with a variety of ribbed & striped sweater options @H&M for when the cooler weather finally arrives. If you’re into the minimalist or monochromatic look, these sweaters–even with some stripe–are for you. Consider mixing neutrals to get the most out of your wardrobe with any of these sweater varieties!
With fall around the corner, retailers have the Halloween season on the brain. Not only is home decor hitting shelves, but also Halloween-inspired fashion to mix into your wardrobe. I was never really one to go literal with festive clothing until I became a mother & now, I’m loving stylish & surprising details in my wardrobe to signify a holiday.
When I first saw the foil pumpkin top, I thought it had rose gold flowers on it & I was on board; however, I love the pumpkins & I’m super excited to find trendy ways to incorporate this into my wardrobe. Also, if headed to a Halloween-themed gathering (minus costumes), the ghosts are a playful option. Either tee can be paired with jeans or joggers, as well as faux leather leggings or a denim skirt, along with ankle boots or sneakers.
It’s no wonder pull-on pants are all the rage in fashion these days. Post-COVID style has majorly changed & while the masses are hungry for chic duds, comfort is key! Meanwhile, the 90s are smashing into this mentality & here we have a casual, yet stylish option for pants to mix & match with our everyday & work wardrobe.
While I’m not one to wear paler colors on my bottom half, I do love the dusty rose look of these. Additionally, these can be styled with a tucked in pullover sweater & layered necklaces or with a flannel & puffer vest. How would you style these pants? Are you on board with the pull-on pants trend? How often would you work these into your professional wardrobe?

My favorite all-time article of clothing has to be a cardigan. I love the way it completes a look & highlights a color story in an outfit. Additionally, I get really excited about finding cardigans with various details, such as different necklines, sleeve lengths, or button adornments. However, a classic cardigan can take you far this coming fall, especially when paired with a blouse & joggers, a knotted graphic tee & jeans, or over a sheath dress with mules.
These timeless cardigans are not only cozy, but also available in 8 colors that will get you through fall, winter, & the cooler spring months. Which color do you like the best? How do you usually style a cardigan? Where are you shopping for fall staple pieces?

Who doesn’t love an outfit that you don’t even have to think about putting together? Well, that’s why matching sets, whether for a casual loungewear look, date night, or teacher outfit, are the biggest trend this coming fall. Matching sets don’t have to just include sleepwear, especially when a more utilitarian & minimalist 90s aesthetic is dominating retailers. Take a look at the matching sets below!
I love the inclusivity of both styles, especially with different skirt lengths, but I’m really impressed with the ease of taking these from day to night as well. For either look, the pieces can be coordinated with other wardrobe staples, such as a knotted graphic tee, button-down shirt, or light wash jeans. Not to mention that the shoe possibilities are endless with loafers, mules, sneakers, or ankle boots.
Once the weather transitions from hot & muggy to cool & crisp, it’ll be time to break out the outerwear options. Fall fashions are in full force right now & there are so many cute & affordable options to freshen up last year’s fall wardrobe & top off your look in style.
I love the ease of this jacket, which looks like a sweat jacket with a belted blazer silhouette. It’s perfect for casual Fridays or a teacher outfit with a button-down or blouse & jeans or topping a peasant dress & cowboy boots to transition into the next season. While I love the olive hue, I do have my eye on the versatility of the black jacket.
Recently, my sneaker collection has slowly expanded, especially since I love a subtle & casual footwear options for running errands or heading to the park with the family. I’m all about the comfortable, no fuss, & neutral style of a sneaker to keep me going when out & about.
The frayed & distressed look sets these apart from other sneakers, along with the fact that they’re a pull-on, instead of needing to be tied with laces. The texture is perfect for any casual look & time of the year. How would you style these sneakers? Which color do you like best? Where do you ship for casual footwear?

When putting an outfit together for a work day, sometimes the more subtle & professional you look, the better. However, it’s the minor details that make all the difference. For example, a flutter sleeve!
I love the color variety of these tops, along with the flattering v-neck & shoulder details. I imagine styling this with plaid pants & a cardigan, a pencil skirt & flywaway blazer, or hoop earrings & jeans. Also, I have my eye on the pumpkin hue, perfect for matching with black, navy, olive, khaki, & brown separates. How would you style this top? Which color do you like best?

As the casual days of fall are approaching, so are the fabulous fall colors that can be worn for any kind of outfit, especially loungewear. If you’re like me & you have an “around the house” / “off duty” wardrobe, then you’ll love the comfort & versatility in these tops below!
I love the idea of pairing this cozy top with velvet leggings on a chilly fall Sunday, a puffer jacket & jeans when heading out pumpkin picking, or with faux leather pants & ankle boots to dress up this oversized piece. I’ll tell you, Time & Tru never fails when it comes to comfy clothing as most of my “off-duty” pieces are from this brand. I’m especially loving this option to mix with my patterned leggings for some playful & stylish looks when baking with my daughter or heading to the store.
As we’re about to reenter cardigan season, I’m struggling to hold out on investing in any more fall pieces (for budget purposes), but I can’t stop thinking about this cardigan, which is not only chic, but looks so comfortable for a variety of outfits!
Sometimes when I’m putting an outfit together, I think about pattern first–if I want to wear florals, leopard, or lines. This cardigan is a stylish two-in-one with each half of the front devoted to an oversized leopard print & preppy argyle. I’d like to style this with faux leather leggings & sneakers, skinny pants & ballet flats, or jeans & ankle booties for fall.
90s trends have taken over summer & they’re not stopping for fall, including neutral sweater vests, which transition nicely from season-to-season. Pair a sweater vest with high waist trousers, plaid ankle pants, distressed boyfriend jeans, or under a blazer, & your look is complete, especially if coordinating in sleek, neutral tones.
Also, a sweater vest is perfect for over a button down shirt & straight leg pants or with a statement necklace, satin midi skirt, & loafers. How would you style this item? Which color do you like the best? Do you like to wear sweater vests?

Even though we’ve been talking a bit about fall boots & hoodies, let’s not forget about how summer is still very much shining brightly & mules are here to stay! When it comes to designer footwear, there are so many options, but who doesn’t love an affordable look-alike that saves you money?
As seen above, Dolce Vita’s Pilton mule (@Dolce Vita) is a stylish option for a variety of outfits & I do love the various colors, but not the $125.00 price! However, if you love the texture & twisted band combination & you’re looking for your next going-out heel, check out below:
These neutral, affordable options are perfect for any bridal shower guest look, a family barbecue, or girls’ night out. Not to mention that these will certainly carry over well into next spring too! Which color do you like best? How do you feel about the twisted band detail? How often do you wear mules?

As of late, hoodies have been evolving & why shouldn’t they? Loungewear & athleisure are becoming more & more popular, thanks to The ‘Gram, & major retailers are getting on board with this trend.
As I look ahead on my calendar to cooler days ahead–not to wish the rest of the summer away–my family is planning to attend fall festivals & go pumpkin picking. A stylish hoodie like this is perfect for those occasions, not to mention when wanting to look cute running out & about on the weekends.
Teachers everywhere, rejoice! Also, if you’re obsessed with all things “pumpkin spiced,” get your wardrobe ready for these must-have fall midi dresses that you can wear now & well into the holiday season!
I’m constantly torn over blogging about summer or fall fashion since there’s so much of both right now that is on sale & brand new, but a frequent question I get from friends & followers is how to build a capsule wardrobe. While this post isn’t going into great detail about the specifics of that, the best piece of advice I always give is to find pieces that you can wear multiple seasons & that layer well for a variety of occasion.
There is so much possibility with this top as the satin texture instantly dresses up any pair of jeans & slides, linen shorts & wedges, or peasant skirt & sneakers, but it can also be made even more sophisticated with a pencil skirt & stilettos, plaid trousers & ankle boots, or faux leather leggings & sneakers. This top is ideal for a professional look, a holiday dinner, happy hour, or date night. Keep an eye out for upcoming back-to-school deals from Old Navy to get a discount on this top that’ll be sure to rotate frequently in your wardrobe!
As much as we’re in the thick of summer & the heat waves are unpredictable, it’s always a good idea to look ahead. With fall being just around the corner, it’s time to–unfortunately–start thinking about how to transition our sunny day wardrobe into our fall favorites. That includes cardigans to wear over lacy tanks & printed crop tops with jeans & linen shorts.

Yes, it’s true. Fall is just around the corner, which means that richer, darker colors are on the horizon, along with more 90s throwbacks, like plaid & tiny florals. One such find includes this flutter blouse, which is a must-have for any weekend at a winery or fashionable day in the office.
When clicking on the new offerings by Tim & Tru, I was pleased to discover this blouse, which looks flowy & flattering, perfect to pair with dark denim jeans & a cardigan, a pencil skirt & pumps, or lace shorts & slides. This lightweight top is the perfect transitional piece as we move from summer to fall that’s both stylish & professional.
While everyone in the world is talking about the Barbie movie, it’s not only Margot Robbie & Ryan Gosling‘s performances that are being praised, but America Ferrera‘s empowering role as Gloria as well. During the film’s promotional tour earlier this month, while the cast journeyed from continent to continent, the Golden Globe & Emmy-winning actress took to Instagram in London in a chic & polished striped J.Crew button-down (that was customized with cropping), a leather midi pencil skirt by Matches, white stiletto pumps (shop similar here), & gold hammered earrings (shop similar here). However, for any Style Darling of any size, I was inspired to build this look from affordable, inclusive pieces!
The total ensemble isn’t hard to put together with classic wardrobe staples: a button-down shirt, pencil skirt, gold earrings, & heels; however, the stripe details, a faux leather texture, white contrast, & gold shine elevate the entire look. Try these recommended pieces below to recreate the look:
Even though it feels like there’s plenty of summer still ahead, fall is hitting stores with some unbelievable new styles, including footwear. Ankle boots aren’t going away this coming season & if you’re in need of a refresh in your shoe arsenal, then any of these will do, especially as 90s trends are hot.
I love the block heel, which offers extra support, but what’s also very special about these boots is the color variety. A neutral black or cognac makes for any great fall ensemble, but I am a fan of the olive style, which will enhance any plaid look. Which boots do you like the best?

Statement jewelry with a vintage nod is all the rage currently, especially as we transition from summer into fall. While the changing seasons are ahead of us, the time is now to catch the best deals of jewelry on sale, especially at J. Crew Factory!
The hammered texture is the perfect contrast & detail to pair against an abstract print, tiny florals, houndstooth, or polka dots. I love the variety of earrings, as well as the hammered necklace, which is perfect for layering with a pendant or long chain for any date night or happy hour gathering with friends.

Last summer, my entire fall & work wardrobe changed with Target’s A New Day tapered pull-on pants that felt like sweatpants, but appeared like perfect work pants! Currently, the pants, which cold out FAST, are back with more color variety & neutral prints.
I’m most excited about the burgundy pair. Also, I love the ankle length since I am 5’3″ & they fit perfectly. These are also versatile for casual & in-office days without feeling too stuffy. I can’t recommend these enough with a ruffled blouse & ballet flats, a button-down shirt & loafers, a pullover sweater & stilettos, & wrap top slides.
This season, there has been a lot of blending of pajamas with everyday loungewear, beachwear, & sportswear for women. And why not? We’re all running around so much & we want to be comfortable. If there’s anything that COVID-19 taught us, it’s to slow down. We can always dress up for extra special occasions, but when it comes to general casual dressing, it can still be both stylish & comfortable! Now that pajamas are being made more & more fashionably, why not get the most out of a garment & wear it during the day? It’s your secret (…kind of!)!
Any of these midi length dresses can be styled with a denim jacket or relaxed blazer, along with sneakers, braided slides, or jeweled flip-flops. Not to mention, they can also be accessorized with raffia earrings, bangles, or layered necklaces. How would you style these effortless dresses? Which color & pattern do you like best? Do you wear sleepwear during the day? For more stylish posts, check out: ribbed tanks for under $5, buckle mules by A New Day, & white skirt looks inspired by Taylor Swift & Priyanka Chopra-Jonas!

In the summer, a tank top is a versatile must-have. It’s always a good idea to maintain an array of colors to mix & match with bottoms, like shorts in a variety of materials, skirts of all lengths, & pants in any color or pattern, & jeans. This option, under $5, also has a rib texture & snug fit for when you want to show off your curves or contrast flowy bottoms.
I have quite a few of these to wear to bed, but also with wide leg tropical pants, linen shorts, or midi skirts. these have a 5-star rating & the color variety is so fun. How would you style these tanks? Which color is your favorite? Where are you shopping for summer essentials?

The summer of sets continues, especially with linen & cotton separates that are light & flowy, along with being interchangeable with other wardrobe staples. Back in April, I posted about Joyspun’s new sets, which have since expanded!
Wear these for a good night’s sleep or style them up with wedges or slides, a crossbody bag, & raffia hoop earrings. The possibilities are endless! How would you style these pieces? Do you wear sleepwear for day? Which color & print do you prefer? For more stylish posts, check out: chic buckle mules for fall, a cozy terry cover-up, & Olivia Rodrigo’s Vogue cover shoot!
