Alright, I’ve got some beef with mother nature. It’s October and in the 80′s, which just isn’t right. It’s not atypical of NorCal to get some hot days in September, but usually that is behind us by now. The freakishly warm weather is really cramping my Fall fashion…ha! Speaking of which, I’m seriously sick of all my clothes. Any one want to do a full on clothes swap with me?
Despite the heat, I still broke out my new burnt orange skinny jeans (Marshalls purchase) on Friday and paired it with a tee. They are so soft and will hopefully look good with boots in a few weeks:
But for Shoes-Day, I’m showing a summer-to-fall transition outfit (mostly because of the heat). I wore this to work last Tuesday:
White Gap trousers, orange Dolman top (over a tan cami), and orange sandals:
See, white for Summer (even past Labor Day which is silly rule IMO) and orange for Fall. Maybe it’s a stretch, but it works I think.
So why blame the bestie? Well every now and then, she’ll tell me she’s buying shoes. Then she sends me the links. Then I inevitably buy the exact same pair in the exact same size. And yes we even did this when she was living just a few miles (vs on the East Coast). So I blame the bestie for making me get these Mix 6 wedges (purchased from DSW.com) in a size 7.5. The wedge is extremely tall, but oddly comfortable as are the straps. They were a great surprise shoe and I’m pretty sure, on sale, they were in the $35-range.
Do you follow any of the fashion-season rules?
oh my gosh i love those pants!! the shoes are great too. yay for still being able to wear sandals!
The pants were a great find! Perfect for Fall!
I will totally take responsibility! I love those shoes with that outfit!! And I also love that we still buy the same pairs of shoes, even sometimes when it isn’t planned! It’s like we have a shoe connection that no amount of distance can stop. Hehehe
Can I say that I’m also digging the burnt orange hues on you?
When I posted this I realized that you are probably responsible for at least 60% of my shoe buying…ha! I love it. Also love that you just got the Nine West Rochas. We feed each other’s addiction
xo
I was just thinking the same thing about the Rochas. We certainly feed each other’s addiction. What are bestie’s for? Hehehe
I’d bet you’re responsible for at least 60% of what’s in my entire closet. It goes way beyond shoes. xo
I’ll email you my address to send me all of your clothes!
Okay, then you can send me yours!
Love both ensembles!
I’m definitely still wearing sandals on some days! I’m not complaining, though- I’m still not ready to transition. I love those shoes and ALMOST bought them over the summer. I wish I had!
You still should Megan — the price dropped even more it looks like. Wedges never really go out of style so you can wear them next Summer.
I love those shoes!! Really, she did you a favor by making you buy them. I mean, that was such a good deal it would have been foolish to pass up.
Haha yup, she did me a favor that’s for sure — that’s what besties are for =)
Love your outfits and those SHOES! I just ordered my first colored skinnies from American Eagle, they have 40% off plus another 15 online today so I bit the bullet. Crossing fingers they fit great!
Wow that’s a great deal! Good score
I really love those GAP pants…not sure why I can’t find nice things when I go to the GAP? Must be that you just look way better than me in their stuff.
Shanna, you seriously look AMAZING! Talk about a hot mama
