What Nicole Wore: You're So Classic

This week has seemed hella long. I’ll be super happy to get back in my normal routine next week; just finding a time to do laundry was a real struggle…yikes.  Maybe one day I’ll get the hang of this time management thing.

This week I remixed this dress that I wore a few weeks ago on the blog.  It’s been in the mid 80s most of the week and I opted for pairing this cute plaid dress with neutral pieces like my jean vest, a light tan saddle bag, leather ankle boots and my black Kendra Scott druzy necklace. These pieces made the look more appropriate for the slowly transitioning seasons.

My jean vest is perfect for this time of the year — it’s great during the cool mornings, but isn’t too heavy (or hot) during the day. While everyone and their mother (and my mother for that fact) lists a jean jacket as one of their wardrobe essentials, I actually don’t own one. I know. I haven’t found a fit that I love and I’m big on not settling for bad sizing or a cut that I don’t like.

This dress comes in a lightweight fabric and the crochet hem adds a feminine touch onto this classic print that we all love. Another plus is the flattering cut. There’s a couple different dress styles that I enjoy, but something about the fit and flare always draws me in. Being pear shaped, I always want to accentuate my waist, so the nipped in waist is a win-win for me.

These booties are the latest addition to my shoe collection. I’d been looking for a pair with a small heel, maximum comfort and in a shade of leather that I loved. This pair has a 1 3/4 inch square heel that makes it possible for me to wear them all day and stand on my feet for eight hours at work.

What Nicole Wore: Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice

Happy Wednesday and happy first day of autumn! While the mornings have been in the mid 50s lately, it’s still warming up to the mid 80s by the afternoon. Still, I found a chance to pull my herringbone vest out of storage earlier this week and went for it. I haven’t moved my vest collection out of my cedar closet and into my actual closet yet, but this may be the way I start dealing with cold mornings and hot afternoons. This fun buffalo plaid vest (under $30) is always super fun to wear.
What Nicole Wore: Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice

Vests have been my fall staples for awhile now and what I really love about the herringbone print is how well it goes with other patterns. Here are a couple past examples of looks with the “it” vest of fall: with stripes, with buffalo plaid, and with a graphic sweater. I’ve had this vest for two years now and the quality is really good — the down filling makes it super warm and I like how lightweight it is as well. I always hold out for a sale when I’m buying these vests from JCF, $108 is steep in my opinion, and can usually get the price down to somewhere between $55-$65.

Still not super cheap, but I do find the fit and materials superior to the similar style vests I’ve purchased from various boutiques at a similar price point. I would recommend sizing down if you’re looking at ordering this year’s J Crew Factory version.  If you like the black piping as opposed to the steel gray they’re offering this year, several boutiques are carrying that black.

I snagged this new Elisa necklace a few weeks ago while Kendra Scott was donating a percentage of proceeds to cancer research and am so in love! I wear my silver and gold druzy Elisa pretty frequently — the daintiness of the style is perfect for necklace layering and the druzy options are an awesome tiny, shiny statement.

I knew I wanted to have this one when it first came out because the pewter chain and black druzy really called to me. I love how these pieces can go with everything.

I love when the weather cools down but isn’t slap you in the face cold, so I’m looking forward to being able to take tea in my Kate Spade travel mug, hot apple cider with cinnamon, pumpkin cookies (I’m a big believer that pumpkin is something you eat and don’t drink, no PSLs here), and seeing the leaves change.

9.21.15 | Taking Summer Favorites to Fall

September 21, 2015

I’m convinced I’m going to be living in summer weather for at least another month, but for the sake of being hopeful that fall is out there, somewhere, headed my way (eventually), I thought I’d wrap up some of my favorite outfits from this summer and how/if I’m planning on taking the clothing items from them into the fall season that officially starts this Wednesday. Anyone else excited about transitioning pieces already in their wardrobe and not just buying new things?

What Nicole Wore: Summer Faves

This vest has been on everyone’s fall staples list for 5ever, but I just got around to buying one this summer. Already fighting the urge to wear it every single day, so you can count on it making lots more appearances on the blog. I particularly love it layered over a plaid shirt with white jeans (rule breaker over here hey!)

What Nicole Wore: Olive You
old navy shirt + new york and company pants {old | last seen here} + triangle pendant necklace {under $1.50, ships free} + nail polish + sunglasses via five below {similar + splurge}

I love the thick material of this shirt for the cooler mornings we’ve been having lately. Olive is one of the colors that’s huge for this fall and this twill button down seemed like a good staple to add into my closet since we all know that I love button downs. I took the rule breaker route and paired it with my white polka dot cropped pants.  What Nicole Wore: Olive YouI have a decent size nail polish collection but this shade is one of my favorites for fall and is so complementary on different skin tones. I love that it has creme polish qualities with just a touch of small gold flecks.

I love all the pendant necklaces that have been popping up and this gold triangle was calling to me, especially at a price point that’s less than my typical Starbucks order. These necklaces are great for layering as well which has been my jam.

old navy purse {old, similar here and here | last seen here}

This purse is one of my favorites and a size and style I highly recommend. The bag is big enough for keys, a mini wallet, lip gloss and a few other essentials and of course has the super ideal cross body strap.  I end up using this purse weekly when I run out to the grocery store or to dinner with a friend. It’s also been to Europe with me and was perfect for tourist activities. It easily fit my Canon, sunglasses and any passes I needed to hang on to.

What Nicole Wore: Hound It
hm houndstooth dress {old, similar | last seen here} + druzy fringe necklace c/o modern and chic boutique + forever 21 leather jacket {similar}

I had to break out my leather jacket for the morning earlier this week. We’re starting to slowly move towards changing seasons which means cool mornings that end with a HOT afternoon and evening. This houndstooth dress is one of my favorite H&M sale finds. The thicker material and 3/4 sleeve makes it perfect for fall and winter.

This druzy tassel necklace was sent to me by Modern + Chic Boutique and we’ve teamed up with a special offer just for you. Head over to my Instagram to find out all the details on how you can get one of the seven colors for free!
