End-of-Summer Bright Accessories

For a date night this weekend, I mixed this no-nonsense utility romper with some fun accessories: teal Manolos, an vibrant, vintage silk scarf of my mom's (a pen pal from Japan sent it to her nearly 50 years ago), and my favorite coral purse, which never seems to photograph the true color it is in person, which is a lovely, vibrant coral without too much red, pink, or neon mixed in there.

As of this posting there were still a few sizes of the utility romper I'm wearing available, but it seems like they might be going fast. In case you miss snagging one in your size, here are a few other rompers at Anthropogie that have a similar vibe:

Hope you enjoyed this gorgeous weekend! Thanks for reading!

Orange + Gold

From the title of this post, you were probably expecting something a little more autumn-y than this outfit, but we have had record high temperatures in Denver over the last couple weeks. I'm getting as much mileage out of my summer clothes as I can while it lasts!

Hope you have a great week!

Luau

Quick post today to share a fun, tropical look I wore to a luau while I was in Hawaii. I received this cute polka-dot dress (another Anthro petites win!) not long before my trip, and I knew it had to come with me. It read a couple review that indicated it ran small, so I went up a size, which ended up fitting just right. I am bummed I didn't get a good photo of the back--it has a great criss-cross detail and cut-outs that make it interesting, but it can still be worn with either a regular or a strapless bra. I am considering picking one up in another color after realizing how flattering, travel-friendly and comfortable this one is.

I hope you had a fabulous weekend and are enjoying the beginning of summer!

P.S. Just wanted to add one thing--I've added a feature onto the blog where you can simply hover over any photo to pin it to Pinterest (I've been meaning to do this for ages!). Hope that makes pinning a little simpler for you!

Tweed & Jeans

I happened upon this great sweater-jacket at LOFT recently, and loved how it had the structured look of a blazer, but the softness and comfort of a sweater. It has been easy to style for work or more casually, as I have here.

I like that I've been seeing more bootcut jeans around after having all-skinnies-all-the-time for the last few years. I pulled these Paige jeans out of my closet and decided they paired well with the tweed jacket. The style I'm wearing is the Laurel Canyon, which is still available and is a great fit for petite, slim-hipped ladies. The sizing runs relatively small, and the low rise ensures that the waistband fits snugly and doesn't gap. Although I generally wear a 23 in denim, I wear a 24 in this style.

Fall Break

I took a little trip to Arizona over the holiday weekend and enjoyed some summery weather and sunshine for a few days. It was nice to relax a bit and visit with some old friends! I wore this ensemble for an evening out--it was just right for a warm November evening.

Pardon Moi

Around this time last year, I picked up ASOS' "Bonjour" sweater and loved it, styling it here, here, here. When I saw that the same concept was back in the form of this "Pardon Moi" slogan sweater, I quickly snagged one. I like that this sweater is available in petite and regular sizing--the "Bonjour" sweater only came in regular, and the petite means it's not quite as long on the bottom. This sweater does have a relaxed fit, so if you're considering it and want a closer fit, order one size down.

Have a great week, everyone!

Wine Country Wedding

I spent last weekend in Sonoma for a friend's gorgeous vineyard wedding. I had never been there before, and I loved it--it was hard to get enough of the food, wine, and scenery. I'm hoping I'll be able to go back sometime soon!

Hello, Yellow

This outfit is another from my Chicago trip (wish I were still there!). Although the jeans I'm wearing here are white, they are a favorite travel pair. They're the 7FAM Slim Illusion Skinny, which are nice and stretchy. They also hold their shape wonderfully through a day of sitting on planes and trains, hiking around sightseeing, and taking them off and putting them back on again many times while shopping. I'm thinking I'll have to order another pair in a darker color for fall and winter! (Note: if you end up deciding to get a pair for yourself, go down a size.)

P.S. Don't forget that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is going on now through August 5, 2013, when prices go back up to full retail. They have a bunch of amazing fall pieces on sale--my favorites are these Tory Burch riding boots, this Michael Kors trench (available in petite sizing!), and these pretty kate spade earrings that match the bracelet I'm wearing in this post.

Pretty Midi

This midi skirt was another great ASOS find recently--I love the fuller silhouette, jersey material, and not-obviously-elastic elastic waistband. So comfy! Hope you're having a great day, everyone!

Casual Friday: White Denim

I am so happy it's Friday! It's been a long, long week. In these photos, I'm wearing one of my favorite Casual Friday ensembles for summer: white denim and a navy blazer. It's just the right mix of comfortable and polished, and it's perfect for a dressed-down day at the office. Have a wonderful weekend!
