Moving Forward

Lately I’ve found myself looking forward to my future from a different perspective. What do I mean by that? For the longest time, I’ve been supplementing my happiness with a career that will keep me financially stable and allow me the freedom to have flexibility with my spending and give me a sense of contribution to our home. Recently I have been heavily re-evaluating my career options specifically pertaining to my happiness: I have found I am really missing the feeling of fulfillment. Over the years I have felt like nothing more than a clinical robot, trying to find my niche and coming home with a half-empty heart and an aching lower back.

A recent opportunity in life has caused me to radically question and make necessary changes that will bring forth a positive outcome in my own soul’s happiness but also have the biggest positive impact on others. I am working hard to get through the muck and to the other side, and would appreciate your good vibes, thoughts and prayers throughout my little journey!

Following the theme of “looking ahead” in life, here’s some recent Summer-to-Fall looks I’ve put together for the upcoming months! I always look forward to the months of September through December, and this year is extra-special because I will be getting married to my better half during this time!

Links for each outfit will be provided under the photo sets- as a heads up, the majority of my outfit pieces from these looks can be found at Nordstrom.

Transitionals

Summer to Fall, church to brunch.. it always helps to have outfits in your closet that can transition you from one thing to the next without bringing 12 changes of clothes or sweating half of your face off by 1 o’clock.

With Fall looks quickly approaching and settling in the stores but the relentless Summer heat just hangin’ around, it can put you in a pickle when trying to coordinate an outfit.

Enter: transitional pieces:

  • Lightweight cardigans or sweaters in colors that are light but trendy for Fall (think dusty pink, light grey, light taupe, muted blues, etc.)
  • Peep-toe booties
  • Sweater tanks
  • Simple and neutral dresses or skirts
  • Thinner ankle or slightly cropped pants/denim
  • Denim jackets
  • Chambray shirts

… and the list continues!

These items are also quite useful for different occasions during the same day where you may need to be a little more conservative at one location but can lose a layer afterward.

Some of my favorite places to find great transitional pieces are Nordstrom, Express, and Macy’s. Many times these pieces can also double as great neutrals to wear at any time of the year, which means getting more use for your money! What are some of your favorite transitional items?

Happy Sunday!
