Transitional Pieces: Chambray & Colored Jeans

Happy Wednesday, 

I'm so happy that we are already halfway through the week. 

I have a really fun collaboration planned for today with the girls from The Kiss Me Darling Blog. If you haven't checked out their blog yet, you need to! They have fabulous style and such fun fashion inspiration. Not to mention, they are two of the sweetest girls ever!

Can you believe it is already September? 
Actually, can you believe it is still 95 degrees during the day where I live? (Southern Colorado) 
I am so sick of it. I am ready to transition into fall weather, so hopefully it will come soon! 

Danielle, Bethany, and I decided to team up and show you how we transition our style from summer to fall. We picked two staple pieces to work with: chambray and colored jeans. 

Both chambray and colored jeans are such versatile pieces that can be used throughout all seasons of the year. Today, we are here to show you how we styled each for summer and fall. 


As you can see, I used a bright pair of colored jeans for summer and I paired them with other bright and colorful pieces/ accessories. That outfit just screams summer. In order to transition into fall, I chose a more autumn color of jeans, mustard. I just love the colors that fall brings to your wardrobe. I decided to pair these jeans with some amazing riding boots and this lovely blazer to make it even more of an autumn-appropriate outfit. 

I love the simple looks that Bethany (left) and Danielle (right) put together. One of the looks has some pops of coral, which of course screams summer! The other look mixes chambray with dark wash jeans, lace, and some gorgeous heels. I love how feminine and classy their looks are! They are perfect for transitioning into fall.

A few FYIs: 

If you can't tell, I love colored jeans. That are such a fun way to make a statement with your outfit by bringing in some color. Also, when I wore these into work today, my manager decided to call me sunshine. So there's that. This hounds tooth clutch isn't actually a clutch. It's a 'business folder' from Office Max that holds all of my loose papers for school. Since these pictures were taken right before I went to class yesterday, I felt it was only appropriate to make it an accessory! TJ Maxx has some amazing colored pants. I got this pair and another pair from there for only $5 last week. YES, you heard me- FIVE DOLLARS!
