Leopard and a Chunky Gold Chain

One of my favorite thrift finds is this Michael Kors silk leopard print blouse. It's just perfect for beginning the transition into fall. 
The chunky gold chain necklace is another of my favorite pieces.  It is substantial and makes a bit of a luxurious statement when paired with the silk blouse.

More Last Bursts of Summer Color

This new necklace didn't photograph very well here, but it's a dark navy with a deep purple tint to it similar to one of the colors in the top.  The pants are navy also, but more of a true navy.

Hot Pink Pants Two Ways

I bought these pants back in July, but they were too small for me at that time. I was hoping I'd lose enough weight to fit into them before our summer was gone.  I just barely made it  :)  .... and wore them a couple of weeks ago when our weather was a bit warmer.   

I wore the same pants again a week later with a gray cardigan.

A Neutral Color Scheme

 A neutral, monochromatic outfit is one of my favorites.

 I thrifted this scarf several years ago and I feel it makes such a pretty addition to an outfit.

Black and White

 I love this top for many reasons.  1)it has a butterfly w/sparkles 2)there is writing that almost looks like lyrics 3)the fabric has a light, sort of sheer lace look to it 4)I like the added bottom layer to it

 I've worn this top as a dressier look with black palazzo pants and heels, but this day I chose to have a more casual feel with black, rolled jeans and sandals with sparkly bits to match the top.
