TWO PRE-FALL LOOKS TO WEAR NOW

TWO PRE-FALL LOOKS TO WEAR NOW

Hello! It’s been a minute since I’ve posted. Last week, we were in New York for the photo shoot I was asked to participate in (recap of that here), which was so special. I was with ten other breast cancer survivors who all had amazing stories to tell. One girl was thirty with three little ones when she was diagnosed! The most amazing to me was the story of the TandTTwinTalk twins. Some of you probably already follow them, but they are identical twins who were diagnosed about five weeks apart. Their tumors were in the same spot, and there was no history of breast cancer in their family going back several generations. It was a meaningful day, and I can’t wait for the photos to come out in September or October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month! We got home from that trip and had a few days to pack up again for Montana. We arrived on Monday after a stressful flight with both of our dogs! We are going to make those city dogs, mountain dogs before long!

It seems ridiculous to talk about fall clothes in the middle of the summer, but that’s how it goes in retail! Dallas stays super hot until (sometimes) October. I’m ready to break out the fall colors and clothes every September, but it’s still too hot. I have purchased a few (pre-fall) things that I can wear now and into fall because I love them and don’t want to miss out on my sizes.

The first look is this fabulous white tux short-sleeved shirt. I am obsessed with it and have worn it several times since I got it. It looks so crisp and chic. I am pairing it with a grey jean for a fall look with my favorite boucle kitten heels. Be sure to use Code: CATHY10 for a discount on the shirt. The jeans are part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and were re-stocked! They are my favorite jeans of late! I know barrel and wide-leg jeans are still trending for fall, but I love that these are a straighter style (and affordable!).

This next look is from Frame. I thought this lace blouse was beautiful and could be worn now and into fall. It comes with a cream cami, but because of the heat, I wore it with a nude bra underneath, and it looks fine. The brown jeans are one of my favorite pairs from Frame. I had already purchased this style in blue and was so happy to see them in chocolate and green (I might get the green, too). The belt is also from Frame and is sold out, but I found it here! I thought this belt was from Fendi when I saw it on someone in the Frame store. This suede bag is a good one for fall, too! It does have a strap, and the price point is good! I have worn these sandals from Marion Parke so many times. They are so comfortable and don’t hurt my broken toe!

 

We settled in our little spot in Montana and enjoyed a rather chilly day yesterday. It’s supposed to get to 100 degrees this week for a few days. YIKES! I am going to take a little break and only post once a week for a bit. I need to slow down and do some soul-searching. I have needed to do this, and it was in black and white this morning when I read Jesus Calling. It said, “Slow down your pace of living for a time. Quiet your mind in My Presence. Then you will be able to hear Me bestowing the resurrection blessing: Peace be with you. ” With all of the crazy things happening in the world right now, I want to really listen to what God wants me to do.

I hope you all have a great day! Stay well and Be safe!
