What Nicole Wore: American Plaid

I’m such a fan of plaid and with fall coming up am really struggling to resist all the cute pieces coming out. I bought this shirt last month knowing the mid-weight flannel would be something I could repeat and layer with once it cools down here. So far, I’ve only had a chance to pair it with shorts and summer skirts, but I’m okay with it.

This white midi skirt from Adorn Apparel seemed like the perfect way to wear this plaid and still be dressed appropriately for the humidity and heat I’m still feeling in Kentucky. I love the mesh inset at the bottom. I would recommend sizing down; I’m wearing the small here and am doing some alteration tricks with a safety pin until I can run it by my tailor.

Some of my favorite plaid pieces right now:

  • This tee that’s under $10
  • This plaid shirt dress would look super cute with a solid, bright scarf
  • this blue and green button down from Forever21 (under $20)
  • Pointy Toe Flats from Nordstrom
  • I’m loving the fall colors in this plaid button down from Old Navy
  • There two plaid blazers from Target (one + two)
  • This red plaid watch (#iLove)

Hope you have a great weekend; I’m working for a little bit, hopefully doing some shopping and maybe working on my DIY blanket scarf.

My Favorite Printed Shift Dress for Early Fall

September 9, 2015

I like layers and separates but sometimes you just want to throw on an item and be ready to go. This shift dress from Burlington is a piece I’ve had for years, but is one of my favorite pieces when I’m having a grab and go kind of mood. I really love that the neckline is jeweled so I don’t need to search through my jewelry and decide what necklace to wear when I’m running late.

Chambray, Tassels, and Yellow Pants – Oh MY!

September 4, 2015

It was pretty much love at first site when I saw this denim tasseled shirt on the Adorabelles instagram.  The shirt has so many fall possibilities in my mind so I added it to my closet. While it’s not available online at this time lots of cute items are! Currently dying over this gorgeous plaid, a scalloped romper that could replace a LBD and the cutest polka dot dress with tassels.

What Nicole Wore: Check Her Out

Ahhh how is it already September?!  You all know I love gingham more than the average human being and am always wearing my blue and black button downs. For whatever reason, I tend to reach for this one a lot less so I thought it would be perfect for today.

I just bought a gingham dress, finally! (similar) and I’m sure it’ll make a blog appearance sooner than later.
What Nicole Wore: Check Her Out

I love jewelry, but lately I can’t be bothered to put any on — especially with this late heat wave. They feel like an unnecessary layer, but if I were to wear this look in a couple weeks, once it cools down, I’d go with I’d probably wear my shorter marble necklace and a long gold pendant necklace.

Emily was sweet enough to send me this polish after I ohhh-ed and awww’ed after she posted a picture wearing it on Instagram and I’ve gotten so many compliments on it this week.
