Labor Day Blues

Happy Labor Day everyone! 

I have to say, I really love these 3 day weekends. I think they should be every week :P

To finish off my Chambray Shirt how to, I have one last post before I retire my light chambray and actively search for a darker version for the fall season. 

I have to say, the minute September rolls around, all I can think about are boots {which I'm finding my calfs are too thick for - wtf?!}, sweaters - I can't believe I'm saying this...ask me again in a few months...when I'm nose deep in them at work {grin}, scarves, leather jackets {sigh}. This is the hardest time of the year for me to dress. I'm sick of my summer clothes, it's still too hot to wear fall clothes without dying of heat...so, yeah, time to put on my creative hat and see what I can come up with. 

I've already checked a few major items off my fall must have list...short boots, leather jacket, new sunglasses, I was a bad girl at Macy's last week when left unsupervised. But hey, it was a good sale! Maybe all the shopping and the increasingly long list of on order items at @tresbelleboutique will help me pull something together. 

Be sure to check back tomorrow, I will be posting a giveaway contest! 

Enjoy!

A Little Country

The weekend is upon us and I'm headed to the country this weekend. It's the hubby's 10 year reunion and back to the corn fields we go!

I took this picture last weekend in the corn fields that my husbands family owns. I married into a corn dynasty, and I'm a corn snob, what can I say. Their's is the best! Check it out here.

I found these shorts at Kohl's last weekend and couldn't wait to wear them. I have a strong disliking for my legs, so any shorts that come even close to looking good on have to be bought! You will see me in a lot of ankle pants and dresses in the summer to hide those bad boys! 

I paired these short with my clearance {Yay, extra 30% off sale @ JCrew for $7!} v-neck slub tank from JCrew. These tanks are amaz-balls {Yes, my hubby and I quote G&B all the time!}. I love that all those years your mom told you things didn't match, now I can just look at people and say, "I'm color blocking" and sound super cool {grin}. I also started wearing coobie colored bras under tanks because if Miley Cyrus can show off her cute colored bras, so can I. :P

If you don't feel like you can pull off the color blocking, this can easily be paired with a white tank top {stay away from a ribbed one, go for the jersey} and a pair of flip flops and sans the hat {which is super cool and yes you can wear them, promise}. That way your shorts will be the talking point if you don't like to go all out like I do :) I've learned to just shrug my shoulders when people ask about my outfit and own it. If that doesn't work, I tell them I work in "fashion" and get the knowing nod {grin}. They can think I'm crazy, because at least I know I'm better dressed {kidding...}. 

Have a great weekend everyone! 

Enjoy!
