there’s nothing like cooler weather after a very hot summer. it’s exciting to access another season of clothes in your wardrobe. you feel fresh and new! as with any wardrobe, it’s best to be able to mix new and old pieces.  this tank is ancient. it’s probably 5 years old.  i’ve held onto it for years simply because i liked the geometric print and it’s easy to wash (i’m not worried about ruining this piece).  paired with a new necklace and new asos pencil skirt (both with interesting geometric prints), the tank now has a new life!  add booties and a little bit of fur, and you’ve got a great look for cooler weather.

a good sport

i haven’t invested in too many sporty pieces, but here i’ve added a taste of the popular trend.  the faux leather leggings and the zipper booties add elements of sport to this look and really transitions this look from summer to fall.  this summery top contrasts well with these very “heavy” bottom pieces.  with lightweight blazer, i have a new look for fall.  (since i’m crazy about blazers, it’s no surprise i added one here!)  with these transitional pieces,  i promise to be a good sport once fall is truly here.  i’m looking forward to a change of weather:) trust me!

happy labor day!  whether laboring for love, family, purpose, reward or a combination thereof, today is a day to relax and take some “me” time. thankfully, the modern worker bee no longer has to succumb to traditional suiting and mundane colors.  here, i love these playful colors and prints.  the giraffe microprint on this blouse is “too-die-for.”  while i’m always serious about my work, i like to wear easy-going, happy clothing.  hopefully, it’s a reflection of my positive attitude and labor of love.  have a good one!
