Five Friday Favorites - Fall Transition Pieces

It has been a really long time since I've done a Five Friday Favorites but an idea sparked yesterday that I thought would be a fun post - Five Fall Transition Favorites.

#1 - Fall (but could still work for warm weather) Dresses 

Love all of these dresses because you can wear them now with sandals or flats and then once the weather gets warm you can transition to booties or boots. And did I mention all of these dresses are super affordable! 

Right Side Outfit Details - top / jeans / shoes

#2 - Casual Sneaker 

I have always wanted a pair of Golden Goose sneakers but couldn't justify the big price tag since I wouldn't wear them all the time. I found these Sam Edelman ones and they are the perfect dupes and they recently went on sale. Super cute and comfortable. Another great casual sneaker that I have and love is Rothy's slip ons. Come in a bunch of colors and they are washable. And click here to get $30 off your first purchase. 

#3 - Jean Jacket 

A jean jacket is a MUST HAVE in your closet. I use mine year round and I love it. Goes with SO any things and its so perfect for layering. I've had this Kut from the Kloth one for years now and it never goes out of style. Highly recommend. 

Left Look - cardigan / tee / jeans / sneakers

Right Look - cardigan / dress / sneakers

#4 - Layering Cardigan 

As we transition to fall clothes, you definitely need a layering cardigan in your closet to pull for those cool mornings and nights. This one from Target is perfect and very affordable. Goes with so many looks. I'm also a big fan of Barefoot Dreams ones...they are pricier but SO soft!! 

wrap / top (oldie) / necklace / jeans

#5 - Wrap

When I was working in an office every day, I would always have a wrap on hand because it could get really chilly. The same applies at home because some mornings it is so chilly. I LOVE this camo one from Amazon - so comfortable and chic. Comes in other prints as well. I also love a good plaid, like this one. 

Target Tuesday - Transitioning to Fall

Three super cute pieces to help you transition to fall...particularly on days like today in the DC area when it's going to hit close to 90!!

I love a good thrown on maxi dress and this one is PERFECT as we transition from summer to fall. It's basically like wearing a nightgown. I love it for my work from home days because it works for no matter what I need. And the length works for my 5'1" frame. Comes in a few colors and tie-dye print options. 

top / jeans / shoes

This is a super cute, comfortable top perfect for any occasion. Fit is true to size and it comes in a few fall colors. You can easily dress it up or down.

top / jeans / shoes

I am OBSESSED with this top from Target's Universal Thread line. Perfect for now (with shorts) or transition to fall with jeans. Comes in a few prints but I was loving this dark green floral one. Fit is true to size.

Dressing Room Diaries - J.Crew Fall Finds

J.Crew has some super cute items for fall (some on sale) and right now (posting this on September 3) they are offering 40% off full price items and 50% off sale items with code HELLOFALL.

First up is this super cute sweater blazer. I'm such a sucker for these because they are super comfortable and great for work. I liked the style of this cocoon one but unfortunately it was too big. I know it mentions, looser fit but the sleeves were all wrong. I love the color and overall idea of it so I'm going to return the XS and try an XXS. There are several colors to pick from. 

Here's another cute sweater blazer. Again you can dress it up for work or more casual for weekend. Fit is much better than the one above. Only reason I'm returning it is because it looks very similar to a J.Crew Factory one I got a few years ago (trying really hard to not duplicate what's already in my closet. 

This is the perfect work outfit the comfy material of a sweatshirt, chic design with a puff sleeve detail all wrapped up in a dress. LOVE this. It is SO comfortable and you can really dress it up or down. In this look, I styled it as if I was going to work or an event. Fun statement necklace and pair of boots. You can easily dress it down with cute sneakers and a denim jacket. Fit is true to size and other colors are available. 

And now onto some sale items....

shirt / jeans / shoes

I am ready for fall with this look. When I ordered this shirt I was a little unsure of how it would be but it works PERFECTLY. So flattering. And the puff sleeves just give it a little something extra. I highly recommend it. I'm wearing a small. It also comes in black. 

sweatshirt / shorts (similar) / flip flops

This is SUCH a cozy sweatshirt! It runs big but I love the oversized look (I'm wearing a small). It will definitely be on repeat this fall/winter. Highly recommend.
