Now that you have the date, it is time to...

... get dressed... 
Rewind past fashion week to my short trip to Utah over Labor Day weekend for this post! On the last evening of my visit, we drove through Provo Canyon and up the mountain for a night in Sundance. If you’re not familiar with Sundance, it was actually started by Robert Redford … Continue reading →:

Let's start from the bottom up.

Cinderella's fancy slipper may be glass, but mine is a boot.

I like the greyish tone and a wedge heel so I won't fall over : ):
* * * 

Nothing says Fall like a good boot.  Knee high, bootie, or cowboy - one must have!  The tone of the boots above complement most any outfit (besides church, and maybe a funeral?).  One click and they are added to the cart.

1969 modern stretch true skinny cords
* * *

My favorite go to cords for any Fall occasion are Gap's 1969 Modern Stretch Skinny Cords.  Let's just say I have them in several colors and could not wait for the weather to cool down.  I wear mine no matter what kind of "date" I have.

- 9 different colors (my favorite is the deep winter forest, Gap.com exclusive color!)

- Go now, they are on Sale for $41.96! 

Keep it basic. 
you can add sha-zam with accessories

* * * 

I love a neutral look.  It is a staple in my closet.  There are endless possibilities on how one can wear this style.  I'm all about having basic tops in every color.  The fun is in the accessories! 

Accessorize, one of my favorite pastimes.

The Blanket Scarf 
found on Etsy, $20

The scarf. That scarf.  I'm sure the majority of women have at least one in their Fall wardrobe. Throw is around your shoulders and bam, instant spruce up!  & there are countless ways one can wear a scarf.

* * * 

Keep it sweet & simple.  This chic and elegant find is the perfect pairing to any outfit.  & a good luck charm if you're going on a first date!

Top it off.
This burgundy floppy felt hat is a cool, vintage-chic addition to any fall closet. Style with a long cardigan, a bucket hat and fringe ankle booties for an effortless boho vibe.:


For $26, it is yours! Found at Nordstrom in several different colors. I recommend grabbing one for those chilly Fall date nights!

Now that you have some ideas & I've dressed you, get out there and enjoy!  
Who knows, this could be your lucky season!   

Cheers & happy dating!
