It's finally Friday! We've made it to the glorious weekend. If you haven't noticed, I love flat lays! Like I said, I'll never claim to know it all, but flat lays give me a way of testing new looks together without dragging Rob with me to a cute spot to take a million pictures. Now, I'd love to have a professional photographer on call to be able to get gorgeous shots in picture perfect places, but that isn't in my budget! So, flat lays are the next best thing! I'm also going to compile a post wearing the flat lay looks, but I'm not quite there yet! Baby steps ;-) I love the contrast of the dark chambray dress with the tan scarf. The red boots really help make the red accents in the scarf pop, too! I finished the look of with a tan fall hat to tie the whole look together. I'm definitely going to have this on repeat as we transition into cooler temperatures. An unusually warm fall is an excuse to keep on wearing bright clothes. I paired this long sleeve Lilly Pulitzer with a blue moto jacket. The sleeves of this dress are mesh and they've got bubble out at the bottom. It's absolutely adorable. There's a lot going on with the dress, so I kept the shoes simple with some nude wedges. I paired this off shoulder gingham dress with nude wedges, a tan felt had and bright blue lens sunglasses. I will probably continue to wear off shoulder throughout the winder (yes, impracticable) but I just love the style. I keep this look transitional by pairing wedges with a felt hat. I also added gold dangle earrings to dress it up. I love this time of year. It's kind of like how you can dress up (or down) certain pieces. This time of year you can "summer-ify" or "fall-ify" different pieces to make a transitional look. It's too warm to bust out the Uggs, but not too warm for a fall hat. What are you favorite transitional looks? xoxo, Chelsea Shop The Looks:

As a girl on a budget, I'm always looking to spruce up my wardrobe, but I don't want to break the bank doing it. I've put together seven items that, in my mind, radiate all the fall feels and the colors remind me of the falling leaves.
I'd have to say that my favorite color of fall (right now) is marigold. I absolutely love how vibrant it is while still totally feeling like fall. Putting this together, I've realized I need to add more marigold to my wardrobe pronto! While, I won't be ditching my bright clothes for the entire fall, I am totally in love with rich fall hues. What are you favorite fall colors? xoxo, Chelsea Product Links:
I'm not sure if it's because I was a cheerleader my entire adolescent (and some adult) life but I love bows. The more the better. I love them on bags, shoes, jewelry, headbands, etc. Needless to say, I'm delighted that they're trendy right now on shirts. If you're like me, you're probably on a budget. So, I've found the bow top trend three ways and paired them with a less expensive version.
First up, is a more relaxed version of the trend. Inspiration was the $225 top from Bloomingdale's. While the less expensive version isn't exact, I tend to prefer the cheaper version. What about you? Next, is the bow tie collar blouse. I am absolutely in LOVE with the teal and pink Gucci blouse. It is probably my favorite bow shirt I've found. I'm seriously swooning over the color combination, the buttons, the cuffs and the collar. Unfortunately, spending over $1,000 on it is crazy unrealistic, so I found a similar shirt. While it isn't exact, it does have an adorable scalloped collar. I'm going to keep hunting to find a closer style. Finally, a bolder take on the bow trend. My inspiration is the Johanna Ortiz striped shirt with bows on the shoulders. It's a great spin on the bow trend and I just adore the style. It's been fun seeing different designers take on the bow obsession. I like this one because I'm crushing on statement sleeves and this puts my love of bows and statement sleeves together. Unfortunately, $995 for a top is a LOT, so I've found a similar version $40 from Chicwish. I love the bell sleeve with the ruffle details above the bows. This one is on my wish list for sure. All shirts are linked above in the smaller images below the collage. I'd love to hear from you! What do you think about the bow trend? Will you be incorporating it into your fall wardrobe? XOXO, Chelsea Fall is coming, fall is coming! Although it doesn't feel like it at all, it's almost time for the cutest clothes of the year. Fall fashion is my favorite! Most days you'll find me in workout clothes or a simple outfit composed of jeans and a plain top but that's not to say I don't love fashion, because I do! I absolutely love taking pieces that you wouldn't think would go together and making them work (think pattern mixing). I don't do it enough, so I used this blog to challenge myself. While I'll never claim to know it all about anything, here are some fall trendy outfits that I'm currently crushing on. Layering - whether it's adding a scarf or pairing a vest with a long sleeve shirt, I love layering. I think the great part about layering, is it makes pattern mixing easier because you're complementing the layer below it. Statement Sleeves! I have been obsessed with the statement sleeve trend and knew I wanted to continue that into the fall. I am in love with the polka dot shirt. The sleeves are to die for! Plus, I love that you can wear it with leggings or jeans. Definitely a versatile piece. "Leather" pants - I put leather in quotes because mine are faux leather or vegan leather as some stores are calling it.I love how you can dress them up or make them super casual with a pair of Chucks. Above, I've got them pair with a black tunic and vest with some fun smoking shoes. I've also paired it with the polka dot shirt and metallic gold pumps for a night out. Hats - I've got a bunch of hats that I never wear! A goal for myself this fall is to actually wear them. I love how they look when other people wear them. Time to step out of my comfort zone and rock all of the hats! Metallic / Statement Shoes - Between the metallic gold pumps, the sparkly smoking shoes and the metallic flats, I've included three of these in this post alone. They can take an outfit that might otherwise be pretty boring and pull together the look to make it look finished. I'm excited to pair to continue to pair these with my fall looks. What are some of your favorite fall looks?! xoxo, Wilk I've included links below (they're not affiliate links, just doing it for the love of fall) Shop the looks: |
