Start fall off on the wild side!

Although the weather may still be hot and humid, fall is on it's way!  Brown is a traditional fall color, and as I realized while back to school shopping, it's starting to appear in mass quantities in stores.  So, why not pair a plain ol' brown shirt with a fun skirt to make the transition into fall a little more exciting?  That's what I did in the pictures below, when I paired a simple brown tee with a bold animal print pencil skirt.  I added a long gold necklace with a pendant to dress up the tee.

Fierce Comfort

It's a beautiful day in Chicago and I'm getting ready to don my mask and run some errands.  I had a quick protein shake and am about to head out but I wanted to quickly share one of my favorite tops with you since it's on sale for $9.99 today!  Today, I'm wearing a a Miselon twisted knot leopard print shirt.  It's honestly one of the softest shirts I own.  I love that it has a dressy look but is comfortable enough to lounge in.  I also like the knotted front because it gives the shirt some shape and accents your waistline.  The back is long enough to pair with leggings since it just covers your butt.  This shirt comes in 8 different colors/patterns, and I just ordered another one for myself! I'm also wearing my Spanx faux-leather leggings in a medium (usually, I wear a small).  I ordered up a size because they are snug by nature but I like a little extra wiggle room.  I love these because super stretchy and soft on the inside, and conce...

Alex Erinn Try-On Haul

Image
I want to share several pieces with you that I discovered while shopping a new online boutique called Alex Erinn.  What I love about this boutique is that they're always receiving new inventory and staying on top of the trends.  When I was approached by Alexandra, the owner of the boutique, and asked to check out some of their pieces at a discount, I was thrilled!  Below are a few of my favorites.  You can check out the full boutique here , and save 15% on your order with code rachael15. The first is this lace peplum blouse.  I've been trying to find one of these shirts for a long time, and finally found one that fits!  What makes this blouse different from others I've tried is amount of  movement it allows.  The lace sleeves are not restricting, and the bodice is lined with a satiny material that is super soft.  I also adore this particular top because I can still wear a normal bra.  The stitching on the shoulders is thick enough ...

Hey All You Cool Cats and Kittens

Okay, so we finally jumped in and binge watched  Tiger King .  I want thank Carole Baskin (who definitely killed her husband) for reigniting my love of animal prints.  I've always been a big fan of leopard print, but I just recently snagged this leopard print puff sleeve fleece sweatshirt from Express.  I love this shirt because it's comfy for working from home and dressy enough for video meetings with students and parents.  I paired it with the Kinsley necklace from Park Lane and my Spanx faux leather leggings. I've talked about my Spanx faux leather leggings before, but I'm going to talk about them again because I cannot get over how comfortable they are and how well they've held up after so many wears and washes.  Normally, I would never spend close to $100 on a pair of pants (and I didn't on these; they were a gift from my husband), but I can honestly say that I will be buying a new pair for myself when these are too worn.  They fit like a glov...
