festive for fall!

Tis the season, everyone! And, no, I'm not talking about Christmas (yet!!). If you live up North, you've probably already been experiencing symptoms of fall, but for us Southerners, fall has just begun to show its face in our hometowns. The leaves are becoming crispy and colorful, the winds are becoming brisk and blustery, and I am quickly settling into my favorite season of the year.

Soft and cozy sweaters have been my saving grace as the weather fluctuates between 50 and 80 degrees. This Gap sweater is the perfect weight because it's warm enough to guard against chilly breezes, but it's also light enough that it's not uncomfortably hot in the sunlight. I love accessorizing the neutral cream and navy palette with fun jewelry!

Sweater: Gap
Jeans: American Eagle
Necklaces: The Shiny Mix, Shop I Love Jewelry
Bag: Thrifted
Loafers: J.Crew Factory

rough and tough

Hey, guys! Long time, no see chat :)! I hope that you all have been having a great summer so far! I know that I'm SO relieved to have the pressure of school/grades off of my plate for the moment being. Speaking of what is on my plate this summer, I am participating in a summer program where I am living on a college campus for six weeks and taking classes (but there are no grades!!). Therefore, I am not sure how frequent the posts will be on the blog, considering all else that's going on in my life right now. I just wanted to let y'all know that I'm not abandoning you; I'm just getting down to bidness over here!!

Anywho, today's look is super fun for me! My style is generally pretty delicate and feminine, but I don't believe in trying to make my fashion sense fit into a particular mold. I've really been enjoying exploring other areas of fashion, like getting a little edgy every now and then. The key to feeling comfortable with rocking new trends for me is to combine a few experimental pieces with my staples.  I really love how this tweed shirt with a leather collar and a pair of slightly rugged jean shorts can mesh so seamlessly with my modern statement necklace and black sandals.

Shirt: Mossimo (Target)

Shorts: Bailey via Delia's

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

Sandals: Madewell (sold out but similar here!)

Belt: Merona via Target

Necklace: The Shiny Mix

Thanks so much for checking my newest blog post here on P & P! Even though it's not necessarily practical for my everyday wear, I am liking incorporating some grungier pieces into my wardrobe. Let me know if you have any suggestions of must-have pieces that I should look at in the comments section. I really appreciate your support, and I hope that each of you has a fabulous day!

P.S. My Fourth of July outfit post will be coming soon, so keep an eye out for that! ;)
