I don’t know about you, but around here the end of summer vacation is bittersweet. I wish it would last forever and I’m sad when Joshua heads back to school, but on the other hand…it means fall is just around the corner! I love fall. Like loooove it. I’m the stereotypical fall girl – bring on the hoodies, bonfires, colors and of course the pumpkin.

While hoodies can be a perfectly acceptable fall clothing option, sometimes you need to look a little more pulled together. This is a great fall date night outfit, it’s good for your budget and even includes a few Kate Spade items!

If you are looking for a little more trendy outfit, swap out the leopard ballet flats for a pair of wedge booties! Bonus: Wedges are easier to walk in than heels, so if you usually say no to a few extra inches try wedges!

Here is what we used!

It all starts with the basics. This sweater comes in a ton of different colors and is only $12.99. You can’t beat that!

Fall is all about the layers. This quilted vest will not only keep you warm, but it’s got such a versatile look! It can go with just about anything. And for $26.49 it’s a deal!

Twenty five dollar jeans? Yes please!

Pick your shoes! Do you want a pair of super trendy booties? (Only $20!) Or would you prefer a pair of cute leopard print flats? (Only $16.99!) Or maybe you want both…because that’s how I operate. 🙂

It’s time to accessorize starting with the handbag. This one is available in several colors and will always be a classic shape and style.

I’m all about casual fashion. I love my yoga pants and it is so easy to wear them since I work from home, but I’ve been making sure that they are only worn to the gym. (You know, for real yoga… 🙂 ) But maxi dresses are the dressed up version of yoga pants. Super comfortable, but still presentable. Easy to wear, but still adorable.

[Tweet “Maxi skirts are the classy yoga pants. You need them in your life. #Fashion #Style”]

It all started with the skirt. This one is available in lots of different colors and stripe patterns. It also has great reviews!

Get the skirt here for $22.98!

I have major problems with my feet. If I don’t wear shoes with good support, the arches hurt the next day. Recently I discovered Sanuk flip flops. Oh my gosh. Y’all. These are amazing. They feel SO good on. The shoe is made from the same material that yoga mats are made of. Once you try them you will fall in love. Luckily they have lots of colors and styles available!

Get the flip flops here for $22.94!

You can always count on Kohl’s for picking up great closet staples like this tank. I like my tanks long so they are perfect for layering and this one is the perfect length!

I think everyone needs a jean jacket in their closet. Effortless, chic and timeless, this jacket is slightly cropped and will quickly become a favorite!

Aviator sunglasses are universally flattering which means they look great on any face shape. They are classic and always my go to sunglasses.

Get the sunglasses here for $10.99!

Now I love diamonds like the next girl, but sometimes I want the look of diamonds but not the price of them. Ever since I took Josh to an amusement park and one of my diamond studs got lost, I have been much more aware of where I am wearing them too! I have this pair of Swarovski Zirconia earrings and the look good enough to be the real thing. For less than $20.

I love the classic look of this watch. It has good reviews as well!

Get the watch here for $27.00!

I love statement necklaces! They easily dress up basic t-shirts and tanks and are a great way to add a pop of color. If you looked in my closet you would see a rainbow of them. I really love this teardrop shaped one.

Get the necklace here for only $10.88!

The original handbag that was used in this outfit has sold out. 🙁 But no worries, this bag is very similar and is from the same company. And it’s still just $29!

If you were to ask me about my style I would tell you that it can definitely be described as classic. I like classic colors, classic styles, and classic pieces that can be mixed and matched time and time again to create fantastic outfits time and time again. I like being able to find favorite things and be able to wear them five years later because some things just never go out of style.

Don’t get me wrong! I love having a few fun trendy pieces to add to to the mix. But every outfit is usually made up with the classics and maybe a trendy piece here and there. Just like today’s outfit! Classic accessories and jeans with a swing top. All in classic colors. All affordable. All gorgeous!

I love this shirt. The color is a gorgeous shade of navy. The fabric is perfect for summer and the shape of the shirt is perfect and flattering. If you are like me and have a few insecurities about a few um, acquired extras, this top will help you look and feel like a million bucks!

The top had some really amazing silver detailing. It would look great with dark denim, but there is something so pretty about a pair of crisp, white denim.

This is my favorite brand of nail polish. Their colors are beautiful, they go on super smooth and they last longer than other brands do on my nails. (I’m notorious for painting them and having them chip a few hours later! A good polish like this helps so much to have my manicure last longer.) A pretty navy shade will help pull this look together.

These shoes from Ralph Lauren are available in lots (and lots) of colors. The wedges have a great shape and are made well.

A crisp white handbag to go with the white jeans in this outfit. Clean and pulled together. This handbag has a great shape – not too big but big enough to hold all of the essentials!

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. But unfortunately they are not my bank account’s best friend. Luckily these earrings are pretty enough that no one will know the difference. Well, except for your bank account!

Layering together watches and bracelets are a great way to add texture and interest to an outfit. This sweet bracelet is a great reminder!

Every girl’s closet needs a boyfriend watch. I have this one in all 3 colors that it is available in. 🙂

We create a ton of really cute outfits for you! Pretty dresses, gorgeous heels, and drool-worthy accessories … all on a budget! As excited as I am about ALL of those things (especially for the upcoming summer), I’m a busy mom. And a busy mom to a boy. Which means we are busy running around and not just to the grocery store, school meetings and other errands, but we are at the park, games, hiking, and in general – outside! I need some outfits that are perfect for those days, but I still would like to appear pulled together.

Because let’s be honest. The days that you aren’t pulled together and you are rocking your famous yoga pants, crazy hair and a wrinkled t-shirt – even just for a quick, emergency trip to the store because you ran out of milk, that’s the time you run into that long lost friend from high-school.

(Please tell me that it doesn’t only happen to me.)

Well this outfit has everything you need. Cute. Comfy. Relaxed. But still completely adorable. It’s a winner.

I fell in love with this Happy Camper tank from Modcloth. Maybe it’s because of the color. Or perhaps because I’m a happy camper. Either way, my closet needs it!

Summer is generally a time for shorts, tanks and flip flops, but I think a light sweatshirt is also a summer must! Whether you are grabbing one for a bonfire, late night walk or for wearing in the freezing movie theater this jacket is perfect. Available in 14 different and fun colors, I will be grabbing a few.

(Based upon reviews you may want to order up a size.)
