It’s rainy and yucky today; I paired my ankle booties with a black and baby blue striped 3/4 length sleeve top, a black tank underneath, skinny dark blue jeans, and some black socks, because today’s the first day my feet have been COLD.

Get ready to see me to rock these now till next spring. Definitely a fave item right now; what skirt?

Today is my first time wearing these cutie booties I snagged earlier this summer. They are sort of like ankle rain boots but with a little swagger? I got the stank eye from my friend, D.D’Agostino of Bethesda, MD, when I asked her in the store, “how do these look?” (insert stank eye look) then I shrugged and the only answer she could give was “you’re the fashionista”. That was enough for me to get these bad boys. They are SO comfortable.

This time around, I went a bit more casual, still loving to layer with a purple tank under my rose colored flirty sleeve top. To add some edge, I slipped on my brown chunky and studded belt and my gold metallic bandeau top flip flips let me live easy (cus I’m that kind of girl …). If you haven’t met my bumble bee yellow bag yet, say hello… she’s been my bff all year…

Don’t get it twisted: this is not a repeat skirt day. Today’s look was all about timing/scheduling. I was able to utilize my current fave piece of the moment (which could quite possibly be my summer’s pièce de résistance…) not only last week, but this week, that is timely fashion and taking advantage of the last few days of summer.

While riding scrub in traffic on the way home from a weekend in The Woods, I amused myself by taking snaps of my feet. Hey, a girl has to be fabulous and entertained!

As we inched closer to home, I was thrilled with what was accomplished over the weekend. Sun kissed from golfing, more enjoyment out of my new-but-never-really-worn gold
metallic-bandeau-bathing suit-top-looking flip flops. Plus, a drop of bright and bold on my toes (compliments of J.Lim; polish # 59). Whew, what a mouthful!

While we experience the last few weeks of summer, I have been pulling out all the short sleeves and skirts and wearing them all…yes all because here I am wearing a cream colored skirt I haven’t worn in AGES. It is an item in good shape and something I didn’t throw into my annual yard sale. Since pulling this item from my dressing room I have worn it so many times the past few weeks! Yank out something old and give it new life with a trendy top; like this blue and white striped ruffle blouse. A soft woven belt adds pizzazz and a colorful orange purse will draw the attention in! What can you mix/match before the weather gets too cold?
