GIVE SUMMER THE COLD SHOULDER
As much as I hate it, it is time to give summer the cold shoulder. The past few mornings it has been almost nippy, with just a touch of coolness in the air. I have even noticed that it is starting to get that “crisp” look that comes in the fall. I need to go through my closet and see if there is any summer clothing that I need to wear before making the full transition to fall mode.
I love ankle booties and regular knee boots, but I am not looking forward to the cold weather. I am going to try to get a transitional post up before long for you. I jumped right into the spring clothing in March while everyone else in town was still running around in heavy coats and fur vests. I did get a few strange looks at the grocery store, but I didn’t mind. Some bloggers are starting their fall attire starting September, but I just don’t know if I am ready. Especially since I am going to be in Panama City Florida the beginning of September. Can you imagine the looks I would get down there? Hahaha
I wore this top a couple of weeks ago, mainly because I wanted to show off the jewelry I was wearing. I fooled around though, and never put it on the blog till now. Guess what??? The jewelry is all sold out, so it is no longer available! I guess the next time I will not drag my feet. The long necklace and the matching bracelet was this month’s Plunder Posse purchase. Both items combined were only $25.00 including the shipping, taxes, etc. It was a fantastic purchase, and because of that, it has already sold out. Each month’s posse is a limited supply, and the jewelry will not be featured in the catalog.
Today’s top is the cold shoulder trend that has been so popular this summer. I wore this top back in June, but I thought today I would try to be a little softer with the look. The top was purchased at Cato’s this spring. I wasn’t sure if I would like the cold shoulder trend, so I did not want to sink a lot of money into the look.

The shorter Rosalie necklace is still in stock. Lol! I like this necklace, and it’s matching earrings, because it is the perfect length to fill in that void that a longer necklace will leave. If you are wondering how to layer necklaces, this is a simple example. BTW, I don’t think I made it clear in my previous posts, but EVERY purchase from Plunder in the month of August gets you entered for the 25.00 gift certificate. So if you purchase something three separate times, you will be entered three times.
I have on the palest of pink ankle pants today. I own three different pink ankle pants, each one just a tiny bit different. Two of them are by Old Navy, and one is by Talbots. I truthfully forgot about having the one from Old Navy, and bought another pair ALMOST identical. I know, I have too much clothing.

The hot pink leather Vera Bradley tote has been my go-to purse this year. I have carried it with almost EVERYTHING! It is the perfect size, it has plenty of pockets, and let’s be real, the color is perfect???The cork platform wedge shoes are a pair I bought in February at the DSW in Atlanta. I liked all the colors in the shoe, but they actually hurt a little right across the toe. That is why you don’t see me wear them a lot.

I guess this post was just continuing my pink theme, even though I didn’t mean to have one. I get like this, I will eat the same thing, wear the same color scheme, carry the same purse, and wear the same jewelry. Having the blog has helped me just a little bit to expand. I hope it has helped you gurls as well. It just dawned on me that some of you might be new followers and not know why I call everyone my gurls. Here is the post about that. I promise you, I do know the correct spelling. Haha!
How about a little Backroad Song on a Thursday?

How sweet? I guess I am colorful, inside and out. Lol!
Howdy Friend….I haven’t posted in a while. Busy summer. But I’ve been reading and keeping up.
Love everything about this outfit…color combo, the shoes, and the (sold out-HA) jewelry.
No “nip in the air” in my neck of the woods. More like the weather you will find in Panama City, FL. Our struggle is to transition into fall….darker colors, but not heavier fabrics. (I mean, still put away linen…)
You’re one year anniversary as a blogger should be coming up soon! Right?
Blessings,
Brandye
I’ve been wondering about you Brandye. I knew school would be starting up, and that you would be back to the grind. Glad to see you were still reading, if not commenting:)
Tania, you look gorgeous in this bright blue color & style! And I LOVE your hair today! But I’m with ya – I LOVE Summer so keep it coming!
I hate to see it go:(
Oh gosh, please, no, no fall yet! I’m already seeing mentions of pumpkin spice things. I can’t. Here on Long Island we’ve got another month of HOT, easy…and warm thru mid-October. Why are we always rushing everything? Let’s just savor things the way they are right now.
Ha, I say that, but about some things I DIE waiting 🙂
I do think that hot pink (tote) is most definitely a summer neutral.

Yea you! I am not ready for fall clothing either. Fall leads directly into winter which I hate. By the time I put on my hat, scarf, gloves and coat I am late for wherever I was going. Let’s hang on to summer as long as we can.
JUST LOVE YOUR OUTFIT TODAY……I KNOW THE SHOES HURT YOUR TOES, BUT THEY SURE DO LOOK GREAT & ARE SO CUTE!! YOUR HAIR IS GREAT TOO…..LOOKING GOOD!!
Thanks Deb!!!
Keep summer going as long as we can gurl!! Tried on my fall pants today, making sure they still fit and what I need to buy! Then, I tucked them wayyyy back in the closet!!! See them soon enough!!
I love fall, but it can be very warm sometimes as late as October in some occasions. I look for summer clothes with fall colors to get me through the transition months. I hate winter!
I’m all about embracing the now—so it’s still mostly sandals and summer clothing for me—-but you’re right, it’s a little chilly in the mornings lately!!
Love the pick of footwear today!

I love this shirt and yes, that shade of blue is fabulous on you!
I may have missed a post about this in the past, but can you share how you store all your jewelry? You have some beautiful pieces and I’d love to see how you are able to view everything you have to know what pieces to put with certain outfits. Also, can you do a video of how your closet is organized too? I think my problem is I end up wearing the same old things all the time because I’m not able to see everything I have and my closet is a jumbled mess. LOL! Thanks for helping us “gurls” out!
Thank you Angie for requesting as I would like to see her organization with her closet, jewelry, shoes, purses, accessories, etc. ~Lisa~
YES…we want more videos!
GURLS!!! I am NOT organized! I’ll show you my closet if you all show me yours. Hahaha
