I have a business dinner after work tonight that might result in some consulting work for me. YAY! I wanted to look stylish and polished but still business appropriate. I think this animal print top (which I also topped with a little black cardi to ward off the fall chill) strikes just the right balance.

I am also loving the mix of black and brown. That's not something I've ever played around with before. I dig it.

I think maybe I should stop shopping at The Limited for awhile, no? I usually try not to be head-to-toe one store, but sometimes it just happens.

It's hard to see in the big picture, but this dress has pleated tiers all the way from the best to the hemline. It is quite a little statement dress but the color makes it more than appropriate for work.

In honor of our fourth day of cool morning temperatures, I busted out these new fold-over peep-toe booties from Aldo. I'm not quite ready to commit to tights yet, but I couldn't resist the booties any longer!

It finally feels like fall here and it makes me want to layer my little heart out! Layers are my favorite thing about fall. Well, my favorite right after leaves, fire pits, apple cider, boots and tights. :)

Although it's chilly in the mornings, I knew it would heat up by mid-day, so I kept the sleeves short and the layer light. But it's a teeny tiny baby step toward all out fall fashion! YAY!

I picked this dress up on clearance earlier this week and wanted to get at least one wearing in before it's no longer seasonally appropriate. Unfortunately I chose the windiest day Indy has had in weeks to wear it! Needless to say, I was not strutting my stuff down the street - more like hobbling along with my hands around my knees trying not to give any one a free peepshow! Note to self: Check weather before wearing floaty chiffon dress again.

Scarf: The Traveling Scarf

Today I am participating in Fab Finds Under $50's Sisterhood of the Traveling Scarf - such a fun idea and I'm thrilled to have a part in it! Kimberly has two identical scarves traveling the country for 20 lovely ladies to style it up.

As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to play with the yellow in the pattern. I knew a scarf would be the perfect accessory for the jewelry party I was attending last night - I looked cute when I arrived but the scarf was easily removed when it was time to try on all the pretty sparkly things!

The scarf was a bit long for me, so I just wound it up and then knotted the ends until I was happy with the shape and size in the front - then voila! Party perfect.

Thanks, Kimberly, for hosting the traveling scarf and for letting me participate.

I stayed up way too late last night watching the Boys in Blue whoop up on the Giants. Even though it was safe to hit the hay at bed time (17-0!), I was having too much fun watching Peyton & Co charge down the field like a well-oiled machine!

What wasn't working like a well-oiled machine this morning? That would me. After Weekend #3 out of town, this chick is dragging tail in a major way. Hence the simple I-don't-want-to-think-about-matching-palettes outfit today. Basic neutrals + ruffles + animal print = good enough for me today.

I am working from home today before I head off to the great city of Knoxville for the Tennessee v. Florida game tomorrow afternoon! Go Vols!

I love the combination of gold studs on this olive green tank. I am really digging olive and khaki for fall, which is funny because I actually wear very little khaki in real life! Probably means I won't actually jump on that trend wagon, but I like to look at it in the fashion magazines. But olive? That's a trend I can definitely get behind!

Does this ever happen to you? You go on vacation, intending to take pictures of all the cute outfits you so laboriously packed for your trip, and then you fail to actually take a single shot of anything from the neck down?

Yeah, that never happens to me either.

I wore this dress to a Broadway show when we were in New York City earlier this week and fell completely in love with the whole look. It might be a tiny bit short, but I decided it was close enough and deemed it appropriate for work as well. Who doesn't love a dress that can pull double duty for a night out or a day at the office?

I completely forgot about this dress hanging in the back of my closet until I ran across it last night while packing for New York City. It's a little too summery to wear much longer, so I knew I had to bust it out ASAP.

I was immediately drawn to the unusual color combination - my favorite color (orange!) and my current color obsession (purple!). It was a complete accident that I happened to have jewelry that matched so perfectly. I paired it with a cute purple cardigan this morning for the dash into work.

It's officially fall weather here. It was 41 degrees this morning on my walk to work - just the way I like it!

Of course it's still climbing into the upper 70's during the day, so layers are a must. A sleeveless silk top paired with a three-quarter length jacket is the perfect transition combination.

Another long day at the office this week. I feel like I'm copping out a bit by wearing dresses every day, but I just don't have the time or energy to be messing with separates this week.

I originally planned to belt this dress but I couldn't find a belt that I was happy with in my closet this morning. Most were the wrong shade of brown and the only one that was the 'right' shade was too big for my waist - it's more of a hip belt. Don't you hate when you just can't seem to make anything work? So I threw on a statement necklace instead and added 'tan leather belt' to my shopping list!
