Finding outfits for work can be daunting, especially if you want to stand out without looking like the office clown! Leopard print is in for fall and can definitely amp up an otherwise boring suit!
Leopard is a classic print that will be in your wardrobe for years. So don't be afraid to invest in a sheer leopard blouse. Seen below, I've paired this blouse with a black pencil skirt and cropped blazer. To make this outfit more grown up I added a pair of loafer heels and a menswear inspired watch. Red lipstick will bring eyes up to your face, just don't forget to keep the eye makeup natural!

Labor Day Outfit
This is the best shopping weekend of the year! I've already been getting several emails from stores that are offering 40% in stores and online! Here is a list so far:
American Eagle
Arie
Gap
Aeropostale
The discount is even good on clearance items so don't forget to check out those racks in the back!
Below is an outfit that I think is perfect for shopping. The dress is great for taking off easily and not disrupting your ponytail while trying on clothes. Always bring a jacket just in case you and your shopping partner decide to go out to lunch in a chilly restaurant. Of course flats are a no brainer! The large tote is perfect for keeping all your purchases in one place and not having to wrestle with bags while your going through racks of clothes.
Happy Labor day everyone! Enjoy your three day weekend!

Summer Tunic
Tunics are a summer staple and can easily transition into Fall with just a cardigan, skinny jeans, and boots!
When wearing a loose fitting tunic you should always pair it with skinny jeans or leggings. This way your body isn't drowning in fabric and your legs can steal the show! These strappy clogs will look great in the colder months paired with tights and a dress. I love incorporating these bold colored bangels with the otherwise drab colored outfit.

Still Falling for Maxi Dresses
Few items stay in my closet all year. The Maxi Dress, believe it or not, is one item that never gets put away! By adding a boyfriend cardigan you can take this dress from Summer to Fall.
I like to cinch the cardigan at the waist with a belt to add some shape. Otherwise you look like a rectangle! I also added these suede booties for texture and height.
Still be on the look out for these dresses in the clearance section. You can possibly find one this time of year for cheap! Just be sure to choose one without a floral print to bring it into the colder seasons.

Lace Shorts
I will admit that this outfit isn't for the faint of heart! You can definately take these peices down a notch by pairing the lace shorts with a white cowl neck and strappy sandals.
I love the mix of cream and a bright color! The cream shorts elongate the leg by bringing your attention directed up to the red shirt. Suede boots are a must have for the fall and Old Navy has a great ankle boot seen here. Just be sure to use a nude color boot so not to cut off the length of the leg.

Shirtdress Work/Play
The shirt dress is a classic piece of clothing that you will have in your wardrobe for years to come. Choosing a neutral color is great for taking this outfit from work to play with just a switch out of accessories!
First, choose a shirt dress that only buttons down the chest. The dresses that button all the way down tend to have "open spaces" around the button gaps when you sit down...not a good look for work! I like to switch out the fabric belt for a real belt to give a layering effect.
For the "work" outfit I added textured tights for a girly appeal. Ankle booties in a suede material will help to keep your toes warm in a cold office. The "play" outfit is just a switch of shoes and addition of a floppy hat.

Riding Boots
Boots are a Fall staple that every woman should have in her closet. You should have a flat pair and a heeled pair. Riding boots are a great flat option. Old Navy has riding boots available in three different colors! Black is essential, but camel color is great when buying a cheaper boot. The following are three different outfit ideas that include riding boots.
