~Late Summer Blues!!~August & Everything after...

The month of August is a beautiful limbo in-between seasons for me, style-wise. No longer interested in buying Summer clothes, it's the perfect opportunity to shop for beautiful & elegant pieces that will transition from warm days to cooler nights and beyond.

With Fall right around the corner, I've taken a whim to hues of rich blues! My most favorite colors are variations that remind one of the Aegean sea and the islands peppered around it. Imagine the ocean, mixed with deep blues and sprinkled with vert green, burnt orange coral, rust and sand beige! So lovely!

One of my 'go-to' pieces for the season {see image!} is a gorgeous viscose chiffon kimono from Uncommon Goods, it's infused with all of the colors I mentioned above and has a beautiful paisley print, flowing sleeves and a sweeping length AND it incorporates two amazing, versatile trends for Fall 2015; the kimono and the paisley print!

As part of my signature style, I like to add either a vintage, sustainable and/or handmade piece or two to every outfit I wear! I love Uncommon Goods Social Mission of supporting artisan suppliers, sustainability, recycling and reuse. As you all know, from my past posts, giving back & building community is very important to me. Shopping, with this in mind, makes purchasing easier and I really feel good about what I'm wearing.
