Summer is almost over which means the sale opportunities are dwindling!  This is the second $12 dress I bought at Kohl’s.  Fit and flare is my go to style.  It’s the most complimentary for my figure (slightly pear).  It’s Lauren Conrad.  Usually her dresses have a waistline that is a little too high for me.  This one fits a little lower.  Still not perfect, but for $12, I know it’s something that no one else would notice but me.  I love the lace detail (it’s on the back too, but I forgot to get a picture of it) and it’s machine washable!  Perfect as a throw on dress and I bet if I ironed it :-), I could dress it up with heels.  I’m not sure the color comes through here but it’s a corally red.  Great for my skin tone!  The purse came from a golf outing giveaway (nice, right?–thanks for the invite, Elise).  It’s a Coach Peyton Swingback Crossbody bag (no longer available, but lots on Ebay). I had it made into a clutch (more on this in my next post).  The watch and sunglasses are from Target (seen here and here) and the flip flips are Lands’ End.  Nail Polish is Sally Hanson in Sheer Force (also seen here).

I had no idea what to wear today.  I have a meeting at 8:30 which is right after I take the kids to school so in the mad morning rush I had to make some quick choices.  In other words, I punted and it turned out pretty well.  Here is a perfect example of how you can pull together things that are already in your closet and make a totally new outfit. I have never worn all of these pieces together.

I grabbed my white and red striped 3/4 sleeve tee (Forever 21 circa 2011- similar here) and layered it under a loose denim dress (Kohl’s Sonoma, Clearance, as always) similar here. I rolled the dress sleeves up an extra 2 or 3 times so you could see the shirt underneath (inspiration here). Belted with a double belt with pewter buckles I bought at Banana Republic (also circa 2011). I like the double belt because it adds just a little something unexpected. A skinny belt wasn’t quite right and a thicker belt wasn’t it either.  This is just something in between that was working for me today.  The pewter buckles give a more casual thrown together look, which is exactly what this was (as you can see, I put a lot of thought into my belts–try this one). Finished off with black tights and suede booties DSW (White Mountain-2012).  The boots have a bit of a cowboy feel so If I were going to get a pair today, I might go for these. I have day 3 hair — so up or with a hat is necessary (Gray polka dotted fedora, Target-2012).  Note to self: need more hats for fall.  And I am not normally the type to rock a side pony, yet, here it is.  A little messy side bun, knot whatever it is, but I think I like it.
