I’ve put a lot of thought to this whole dressing like it’s fall when it feels like summer thing and I think I’ve found the solution: dark colors, bare limbs, no layers. Those are the rules of fall here in the south.
This weekend we stayed late at the shop because the fine ladies of Emporium Pies had a pop-up shop on the square in McKinney. It’s all anyone of us at the shop could talk about all week. Rumor has it they are opening this fall which means Fridays will now be known as Pie-days at bloom. (I’m really proud of that one.)

I just came home from London to Florida and the weather has been quite drastic… I mean I was all fall-ed out and the second I got off the plane… took off layer by layer in rapid speed!

I am still having a hard time giving up the bright colors. Especially considering it is still hot enough in Dallas that I am still able to swim in the evenings. But I am slowly coming around and parting with my summer attire, much to my chagrin. Yay for bare limbs though!

Those shoes are great! You are seriously my favorite 😉

Beautiful look! I love the shirt tucked it. Super “classy-casual.” Work it, girl. 😉

And YOU’RE my favorite! I think you nailed the Southern Fall look. It’s so hot here in Florida and I’m so excited for Autumn dressing… I’m gonna have to give your tips a try.

That’s great fashion advice! I’ve been dying from the heat but ready to pull our my fall wardrobe. I’m trying your idea for now until the cold comes in 🙂

I love that skirt! Also if you could steal a few of those marble ties and ship them to me that would be great. I’m sure I could find a way to cut them into the perfect backsplash tiles 🙂

I want sooo badly to pull out my sweaters, but I know if I do I might spontaneously combust. Tried to wear a cardigan today, and wound up taking it off after like, 20 minutes.
Pie-days! Love it!
Great bag and tee!

This outfit and your hair and your big smile and Pie-day just brightened my day – you’re looking so happy! 🙂

I’m a huge fan of trumpet skirts. Loving this look. And I’d have to agree with your Fall rules. I’m in Atlanta, it’s 88 today. So today calls for sued heels, with shorts of course…

Love the outfit, as always! I was hoping one day you could do a post on the makeup brands/colours you use. Your makeup is sensational and we have similar colouring, so I’d love to copy it!
So cute!
Love how you styled this tee! I just got a great one from J.Crew that I can’t wait to wear! Also, pie-days sound amazing 🙂

You have beautiful legs. I hope that statement doesn’t make me sound like a creeper. 🙂
What size are you wearing for the T-shirt? Did you size up for the relaxed fit?
The surprise of tweed in this skirt is such a great pairing with the casual tee and metallic heels — definitely saving this outfit for inspiration later 🙂

I read your blog because I love the things you say & the way you write, but generally I feel a bit bummed because your style is way more preppy and colorful than mine (not insulting you, just saying I can’t really copy your outfits). This outfit, however, may have possibly made me shout “Yes!” in my mind. I’m not going to be someone who insists that you dress differently than your own style just so I can see it, that’s silly, but I do hope that, if you enjoyed this outfit, you’ll post some edgier looks in the future too. Either way, you pulled this off well, and I look forward to reading more of your intelligently funny posts!

First of all I would like to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question
which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you
center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I’ve
had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.
