OOTD: Wedding Attire

I'm so late in posting this, but Matt and I went to a wedding a few weeks ago and I chose this taupe dress for the night. For fall weddings, I have such a hard time picking out what to wear since it's technically "fall" but it's still 80+ degrees here in California. Do I dress for the weather or the season? I figured this strapless beauty would be the perfect choice with my earrings from Very Jane.

I had been eyeing the Morgan Maxi forever, but couldn't decide on a color. I wanted to choose a color I didn't already have in my closet and one that could be worn year round. I was debating between the navy and the maroon, but when the taupe restocked I immediately added it to my cart and checked out. The dress is so soft, has lots of room in the chest, length, and waist. It would have been the perfect pregnancy dress and reminded me a lot of the dress I wore to my baby shower, but with pockets. As you can tell, it's really long and I wore it with wedges, but forgot to put them on for the pictures.

What do you like to wear when the season is changing? Do you dress for the season or the weather?

Shopaholic + Must Reads

Question of the month: Lots of questions because it's the SHOPAHOLIC TAG!!

THE QUESTIONS:

1. Would you consider yourself a shopaholic?
I don't think I'm still a full-blown shopaholic, but my husband definitely begs to differ.

2. How would you classify your style?
Simple, comfortable, easy to wear. I don't really buy prints, but lean more to solids,  I love to layer and mix and match my wardrobe staples. 
 
3. What store can you not leave without buying at least one thing?
Target! It used to be Nordstrom, but that was a long time ago I feel like now. 

4. Where do you find the best deals?
Lately it's been Old Navy (and totally Carter's) using different online coupons I've found.

5. What designer are you willing to splurge for?
Michael Kors all the way, I love so many of their items. I'm eyeing a watch and putting it on my Christmas list for Santa.

6. Do you have a "go to" shopping outfit?
Dark skinny jeans, white tank top, and slip on sandals. It's something that easy to try clothes on with and see how they pair with the items I'm looking at.  Plus, with a tank, I can always slip a top or dress over it without having to completely strip down if I'm feeling lazy.

7. What is your guilty pleasure? (Aside from make up)
Nail polish and cream/ivory tops. I love cream/ivory, it's a softer white and can be worn all year long.

8. What is one staple clothing piece you cannot live without?
Dark skinny jeans- they just go with everything and are so easy to wear.

9. What is a trend you hope never goes out of style?
Tunic style tops! I love longer shirts, they cover my my tummy and are easy to layer.  Plus, they were great with my bump last year.

10. What trend did you love that passed way to quickly?
I can't really say. I've spent most of the past year pregnant and didn't get to try many trends. Usually, I think even if something is "trendy" if you wear it well, just rock it!

11. Who is your fashion icon?
There's so many, but I truly love Blake Lively's style. She always looks chic, she wears different pieces, and I adore her wardrobe choices both on the red carpet and her street style.

OOTD: Date Night

La'Rue Essential Long Sleeve Tunic - Charcoal

Forever 21 Skinny Jeans

Old Navy Booties

Sequin Clutch from Very Jane

This top is one of my favorites ever. It's long and soft and perfect for a cozy, chic outfit. I love how it drapes and how it feels like I'm wearing pjs. These boots are so comfortable too, I didn't have to break them in at all and I wear them almost daily. I've been dying to use this clutch more, but sequins are hard to wear because they can snag your clothes and if you put it under your bare arm it scratches. It's definitely something that's great to look at, but hard to wear. 

Happy Hump Day!
