Hello holiday weekend! I love the extended time off to spend with friends and family. This weekend will involve a little Mexican food, rough housing with my two favorite dogs and Game Night with a group of friends. Really excited for the break. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

When I am bored with my wardrobe choices, buying something new isn't always the answer. Then I just have more stuff that I am bored with. :) I spent some time this weekend rummaging through my closet to create new inventive outfits. The layering kimono and the dress are pieces that I have had for at least 7-10 years. Since the kimono has beautiful lace details, I thought it would be a great cover-up to this strapless dress...making it more work appropriate. It's something I haven't tried before but definitely a look that I love.

Another beautiful and HOT weekend. Love spending the afternoons catching up with friends and trying to find inspiration for my next house project. I picked up an amazing trunk this week for our side table in the living room but still need the "extras" to pull it all together. Girl on a mission!

The neighborhood next to mine has the most unique park with thoughtful landscaping and art on display. It is a great place to relax, walk around, and enjoy the outdoors. So I thought it was the perfect location to pair with my outfit.
Today's look involved re-mixing the wardrobe. I'm a collector when it comes to clothing, and I tend to forget about some great pieces I have that don't always get worn. I love this silk top with the ruffles at the neck...a loud piece with soft, unique details. Almost like wearing a piece of art.

My love for the Hawaiian look continues. Not only for the great colors and prints but of course it is a location where I would love to be at this moment. This top not only has a great print, but it also imitates the pajama trend that has emerged. Great retro piece that can be paired with everything. I even wore it has a fun cover-up to my high-waisted bathing suit at the beach. Now who can argue with something that cross functional? :)

I love that a basic tee can go with anything. My favorite combination is to pair it with a fun skirt. Not overly done but still put together. This is one of my go-to looks when I am in a rush in the morning. It doesn't require a lot of thought, and I know it will always look good. As per usual fashion rules, if you don't have a stash of basic tees in your closet, start with the neutral colors. Black, white, grey can be paired with a lot of options.

Continuing with my 90s story from yesterday, plaid was a big part of that period. Plaids will continue to be a trend for fall in all types of fabrications and silhouettes. Today I stuck with my favorite tomboy look and paired my plaid with boyfriend jeans and fun heels. These heels were a major bargain find. GoJane has become my official site to buy shoes. Great fashion styles for incredible prices. Check them out!

I am a child of the 80s-90s, and the fashion for this time will always have a special place in my heart. My favorite movie from this time is Clueless. It drew me into fashion and the character Cher is the girl I wanted to be. So with current fashion taking cues from the 90s, I decided to pull together my own look with a great velvet baby doll dress and booties. I love the texture of velvet and you can expect to see more of it this fall.
