Purple Pants and Ankle Boots - Fashion of the Season!

Well I finally found a pair of purple pants this weekend!  Added bonus, they have a cool floral scroll pattern in the corduroy fabric that adds great depth.  Where can you find these, check out Ann Taylor Loft - I picked them up at 60% off in stores but you can get them at 40% now!!  Not only are they pretty different, but this color is so in for the fall!

Strolling through the mall, I stopped in Bakers to see what they had.  Ankle boots are in this year so my eye quickly was drawn to this cute pair.  Here is a similar pair from their site, but the ones I picked up were on sale for $39.99 and the color is a little lighter.  Not only are they ankle boots but the side zipper is a great detail.

Since the pants were such a statement I toned it down with a simple gray shirt and scarf.  I wanted the pants and boots to be the focus :)  It's pretty cold in the morning so I threw on a sweatshirt jacket I found at Marshalls.  The button detail gives it the perfect touch! 

Tip: Pick up a pair of ankle boots (with a side zipper if you can)!  Don't be afraid to add some bright skinny pants to your wardrobe, purple/burgundy is a hit fall color this season!

Chili Red Skinnys

Well I couldn't wait to wear my new red skinny pants so Monday it was!  I've been on the hunt for a pair for a while but finally found them at Gap this weekend!  Check out my previous post to find out more about my deal on them! Let's just say, you need to fit in a trip! I love the zippers at the ankle, great detail!  Here are the pants, only thing is there is no red left online.

To go with the bright chili red pants, I went with a cozy sweater also from Gap.  The gray and black color block look went perfect with this pants.  For shoes I chose a pair of flats I picked up at Marshalls last spring by Tahari - their style went perfect with the rest of the look!

Tip: Get yourself a pair of red pants - its a must!

Color Block Scarf - AWESOME sale at GAP!

Well it was a beautiful weekend in RI, crisp fall air and nothing but sun!  My saturday morning started with reading an email from GAP - 40% off all sale items.  Well you know what that led to... a trip to the GAP!  You'll see some of my fashion finds this week but lets start with this color block scarf.

I'll be wearing these soon but here they are - finally a pair of red pants!  Don't get me wrong, I've tried on red pants anywhere I see them but they never are right.  Love the zippers at the ankle and the chili red color!  How much? $48.99 on sale and then another 40% off - $29!!

Tip:  Make your way to Gap this week - you can't miss this sale - great fashion finds!    

I wanted to share some pictures from my sunday at the beach... beautiful day!

First Fall Sweater - Weekend Fashion Find

Well this morning was pretty crisp - the reality that Fall has set in.  It was one of those mornings that I wanted to wear something cozy.  I thought I'd be saving it for a colder day, but I ended up picking my weekend fashion find!  What do you think?  I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it.  A long tan sweater, with accent yellow stripes - the style and fit are what make it.  I love the oversized collar and pockets - the subtle detail give it great styling.

Best part?  I spotted it for $15.00 on Marshalls clearance rack - can't get better than that!

Pairing it with a plain white T and dark straight leg jeans left the focus on the sweater.  Simple yet really cute! :)

Tip:  Get in the stores and check out the clearance racks - there are perfect fall pieces just hanging there!

Stripes, Buttons and Puckers

Today's look was powered by stripes - big bold stripes.  This is one of my favorite finds from my trip to the Jersey Shore, yup its the one you see Snooky and Pauly D strollin' on... Seaside :) 

One of my favorite stores can be found on the Seaside Boardwalk - Lucky Lady... What I'd give to be able to shop there more than once a year!  I literally love everything about the place - clothes, accessories, shoes - all great fashion finds that I'm sure you'd love too!  

I bought a few other things, but this button up balloon top is a Lucky Lady find.  The bold stripes/color block look is great for the summer but I also think the color scheme is perfect for a fall transition.  The detail on this shirt is what sold me.  Notice the button close sleeves and the pucker waistline in the front and back.  

Being so bold and bright I knew I wanted to keep the rest simple.  Since the shirt is a balloon style, I paired skinny dark jeans for bottoms.  I also kept the shoes simple, with a basic black and brown sandal.  For accessories I chose my gold watch and Alex and Ani bangles, the brushed gold is perfect for the autumn tones of the shirt.  

If you ever make a trip to the shore, make sure to make a stop at Lucky Lady - I promise you won't be disappointed!  

Casual blues and grays

Today I went with blues and grays.  I love this blue button up, the two chest pockets are my favorite details.  This was an Ann Taylor Loft find - of course on the sale wall!  To add some kick to it, I wore one of my favorite silver necklaces, its on the chunkier side but goes well because the shirt is so plain.  For bottoms I went with a pair of skinny gray pants and cute flats!  This outfit was on the plain side, but all worked well together!
