Cape Weather

Cape  (Under $50!) // Jeans (exact ones here and here) // Striped tee // Bangle (old) // Purse // Shoes // Sunglasses (Prada from last year)

Capes have been my favorite Fall piece for the last few years now. They are so chic and you can throw them on with just about anything. 

This new cape I'm wearing from Forever21 was too good to pass up, so I added it to my every-growing collection! It is lined in sweatshirt material and is just under $50! It also comes in black and white. Come on! How can anyone pass on that?

If you haven't gotten into the cape trend, there are so many great ones out there right now. Wear them with a tunic top and leggings like I did to school on Friday, or even over a dress (love this one and how fun the patterns would be to mix!) or pencil skirt for an extra layer of warmth!

Hushpuppies for Fall

Hat (old from Akira) // Dress // Scarf  (only $13!) // Booties (c/o) // Sunglasses // Purse

These little orange booties from Hushpuppies are changing up my Fall dress game. You know how some booties hit at a super weird place on your ankle and can't be worn with dresses? Well these little Cyra booties DO NOT do that! They are the perfect pair with dresses and skirts! They are also super comfy and under $100 bucks! If you haven't tried out Hushpuppies in like, a decade like I had, these Cyra booties are the gateway pair that will open you back up to your childhood favorites! 

A few more fall related Items. Get ready to see more of these knee length dresses over here. The midi style dress is everywhere right now but they hit me at the knee which is the perfect length for me. And you can get such cute options from Forever 21 like this $16 one and this $20 one!

Forever is also killing it with their scarves right now. I picked up this white one, this camel one you may have seen on my Instagram and this dusty blue one you see above all under $20!

Dress: Marc Jacobs // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff  c/o Shopbop) // Shoes // Sun Glasses

While in Salt Lake city this summer, we found this book bindings wall randomly behind the parking garage of our hotel. What is a treasure like that doing hidden behind a building? Am I right?

What we did find out very fast in SLC is that many places (especially ones with really cool walls) are considered private property and apparently this one was. Oops! Good thing we got a few shots in before we got booted out by a real live person! So different from Chicago. 

Anyway, On to the clothes. I found this Marc Jacobs dress at Nordstrom Rack in the summer but it was the only one left and just a tad too short on me. Lucky for me (and every nordstrom cardholder) they do tailoring for their customers and were able to bring the hem down a solid inch and a half making this dress perfect for me! 

ASTR Crepe Shirtdress

Dress // Shoes (similar) // Bag (c/o Shopbop) 

Shirt dresses are my jam lately. I'm back to being up at 5AM for work every day so I appreciate the ease of a throw-on-and-go piece that's as comfortable as it is stylish. This dress is my night time version of my normal day dresses.

It's made of crepe so it had a bit of a heft to it to help with the see-through-factor and helps it drape well without wrinkling! It's a little on the short side for me to be wearing to school, but I'm sure all of you ladies more "fun-sized" than I will have no problem wearing this  dress and not feeling like you're showing too much gam! That is a feeling I always struggle with being tall.

This dress also comes in navy with black trim too. Scoop up yours today!

Olive Obsession

Shoes (under $30) // Dress // utility shirt here and here // Backpack // Lips

Olive Green has been popping up everywhere this Fall, especially in the form of button down military inspired shirts. I'm loving this color for Fall and have quickly picked up a few pieces in this must-have shade. 

These sneakers I'm wearing in today's post were so affordable and comfy. If you're in the market for something a little dressier with a heel (but only a 3 inch heel! Totally walkable!) these Sam Edelman pumps are perfect. This hooded sweatshirt dress is a great olive score for under $25 bucks too!
