Top | Skirt | Jacket

Fall weather has finally made it’s arrival in NC and yes, you guessed it, I’ve got that fall feeling. Nothing excites me more than the smell of fall, the crisp cool air, leaves changing colors and falling to the ground, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin bread and most importantly, Thanksgiving with the family and friends. I get the warm and fuzzies ya’lls. Spent the day with Charlie, meandering around Cary, NC, checking the sites and grabbing an oh so delicious breakfast equipped with pumpkin pancakes and coffee.

On a fashion note, I nabbed this elegant, tailored plaid blouse on sale at Banana Republic last week, and just had to pair it with a mini skirt. I don’t show off my legs often but when I do, it’s in none other than a mini skirt. I guess you missed the part where I said sale. Allow me to repeat myself, Banana Republic is having a SALE. Yes, my name is bargain and I shop SALE ladies and gentlemen. I linked this cute plaid top at the top of the post and some similar styles of the jacket and skirt. Hope you like. I needed a blouse that could transition from work to play with little to no effort and I found it. I’ll be back to relish in their sale some more this week as I’m swooning over their sale denim and dresses.

Have an awesome week ya’ll!

Sincereley,

Dress | Shoes | Purse

What better way to style the rest of summer than with a bright, light and airy colored dress. I was never a fan of this pale canary-yellow color but I took a chance and nabbed this dress from New York and Company on a super sale they had going on for $12! Yup, I said it! $12 ladies and gentlemen! I love a good bargain and this was a darn good bargain! Pretty sure this dress is no longer available since the sale was so amazing and dresses were flying out the door, but I highly recommend checking out their website for other sales because they always have great selections at a reduced price. I’ve linked a similar style dress above for you to check out.

I saw you checking out my lemon scarf ;). I purchased it from Talbots I say about 4 years ago. This has been the most delightful scarf to own. Never thought I’d purchase anything with food on it but this scarf was not over the top or in anyway obnoxious. I’ve worn it a few different ways but this is the first time I’ve worn it to decorate up my plain jane purse. But about this dress, I imagine myself taking a romantic picnic with the hubby in this dress but then I also imagine my skin melting off from all this NC heat! It’s just to darn hot to be picnicking, biking, runs, walking, heck breathing in this heat, LOL. All those in favor of spending the rest of summer posted near the AC with some Netflix and Hulu say “I”….yup that’s what I thought! 🙂

On another random note, I believe I love my deva cut so much that I’m going to continue doing the DIY Deva Cut. My bangs are growing back in so they will have to be chopped off again. I’m getting a little bored with my natural brown color too. I was thinking about doing some color maybe lightening the color up a bit or doing some crazy colored streaks. We’ll see. I say that i’m going to do something crazy to my hair every year and then I punk out and end up doing the same ol thing. Here’s hoping I stick to the plan for 2017.

I hope the rest of your week is amazing!

Sincerely,

Deidra Craig
