How To Simplify Your Life

You hear about spring cleaning every year right as the seasons change from winter to spring but you never hear anybody say they're going to 'fall clean'.  After a busy summer, I think it is important to have a few ways to simplify your life to get you back on track before the seasons shift.  Read along to find a few easy ways to make your life a little more simple before the fall and winter craziness starts controlling you. Plus, find these fall outfit details at the bottom of this post!

Blue Peplum

Floral Peplum Tank (only $16 and available in all sizes) || High-waisted White Denim Pants || Leather Wrap Watch (without studs) || Sunglasses || Wedges: via Marshalls; very similar || Handbag; smaller version || Kendra Scott 'Kiri' Necklace || Kendra Scott 'Perry' Necklace || Gold Bracelet || Lip color in 'plumful' lustre || Earrings 

I had a few days off work last week and naturally spent one of those afternoons visiting Nordstrom, where I found this stunning peplum floral tank on the clearance rack.  Shockingly, it is still available online too in multiple sizes for only $16 (I'm wearing a medium).  This top will for sure be on repeat this summer.  I also found my new favorite year-round lip color in "plumful- lustre" which is the perfect plum shade suitable for all seasons.  

Guess what tomorrow is?! My sweet dog, Colbie (aka Colbersons, Colbs, Colbasindog, Clobs) will be 4 years old tomorrow. Just a big 4 year old piece of chocolate pie.  Where has the time gone?

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  Mine was very, very relaxing and was just what I needed. I basically just ate a bunch of snacks, cheered my boyfriend and mom on in a 10-mile run, and made a few trips to Target (not for #TargetforLilly ... bless all of those brave souls).  I've had weekends packed with events and things to do for the past month or so but this one was completely free of plans and wonderful.  I did get to see one of my best friends though who introduced me to my latest obsession... Kate Spade sunglasses.  Thanks, Erin. These are next on my summer wish list, along with these beauties.  I then moseyed on over to the Gucci section and discovered these beautiful pieces of plastic.  *looked at price tag* *moseyed back to Kate Spade*. Maybe one day. Anyways, we all made plans to see Eric Church together this week and I absolutely cannot wait.  

This maxi I'm wearing in this post is $18... yep, eighteen doll hairs.  I've also linked a few other "tropical-esque" maxis below that your wallet will seriously thank you for.  Couldn't you just live in these...? You can't find anything more comfortable and versatile for warm weather.

Teal & Floral

Blazer (under $35!) || Suede Boots || Floral Ruched Dress (less than $50) || Sunglasses || Earrings || Clutch <-- love that color || Turquoise and Gold Bracelet || Watch c/o HandPicked (love this one) 

I mentioned in the last post that this past Sunday was spent celebrating Founder's Day and Groundbreaking for the sorority I joined in college, Delta Gamma.  Because I graduated a few years ago, it was really fun getting to see so many people I haven't seen in a while.  I got to see an old roomie of mine, who now lives in NYC, and it made me so happy! As for my outfit, I saw this floral ruched dress online and the colors and pattern screamed SPRING.  The weather this week has actually been really weird so I paired it with light suede boots and I surprisingly loved the way it turned out! It will be freezing in the morning and then really nice and warm in the afternoon so I can't ever decide what shoes to wear these days.  Soon it'll be wedge and sandal weather and it'll be a no brainer.  

FYI- This nail polish is my absolute favorite color for this time of year.  Such a fun and unique shade.  

Have a great day! Thanks for reading.
