J.Crew Tilda Top

I mentioned this top in my last Wishlist Wednesday. I love it, because it's so versatile! You can dress it up or wear it more casual. Here are some ways I'd style it:

Love this business look! I paired it with a navy J.Crew suit and Michael Kors pumps. 

You can tell I love business looks. The pops of red in the J.Crew cardigan and Tory Burch flats make this fun for a casual Friday.

I just love this look with a Lilly Pulitzer skirt, a Tory Burch crossbody, and silver Jack's!

With Tory Burch flats and Longchamp, this would be so great as a transition in to fall!

The top spices up my typical summer uniform of Jack's and Lilly shorts.

Happy Saturday!

Caroline

Just a few outfits I've been drooling over!

Love the shape and print of this Lilly dress. The Valentino pumps,  Tory Burch clutch, and pearls are great finishing touches!

The navy monogrammed Jack's and Marc Jacob's crossbody look too cute with this Vineyard Vines dress!

Last Day of Summer: Favorite Fall Outfits

As much as I hate to put up my favorite Lilly shorts and Jack's, fall is definitely one of my favorite seasons! Tennessee's falls are absolutely beautiful! Crisp mornings are always welcomed after a summer with temperatures of over 100 degrees. But my absolute favorite part of fall is the clothes. Here are a few of my favorite fall outfits:

This outfit is perfect for a rainy, fall day! I absolutely love this Kate Spade bow bracelet. I just can't decide if I want to buy the silver or gold!

The absolute perfect, preppy outfit for fall! The colors are fabulous and how cute are those Jack Rogers with the tassels? 

I love the look of "gruff" chambray with a pop of color in a polished skirt. I have the skirt in gray and it is super comfortable and the fit is amazing. And Tory flats are the perfect addition for any outfit.

I fell in LOVE with this Vineyard Vines dress. I love the look of the print and the neck tie is just perfect. Topped off with a blazer, it's the perfect polished look.

I cannot decide which Vineyard Vines dress I like more! This outfit is perfection. It incorporated my favorite things: chevron, navy blue, riding boots, Tory, and VV.
