The New Mullet
While I love the concept of high-low fashion, I'm getting a bit tired of using the phrase. The mixing of casual and fancy pieces can be done in numerous ways and I've done my fare share of (trying to) rock this trend. Historically, it's been popular to wear your casual item on the bottom (i.e. jean cut offs or boyfriend jeans) and the fancy, be it sequins, beading, or a statement necklace on top. However, recently, I've been more drawn to having my statement piece on the bottom with jacquard pants, a mini skirt, or metallic pumps and pairing it with an understated striped tee or a jean jacket (see here, here, and here). I consider it an outfit mullet - business on top, party on the bottom.
Can you get on board with rocking a mullet?

Fall Cravings (Episode 2)
A few more favorite things for fall...
Men's cardigan :: oversized and textured is a must to add coziness to your weekend uniform of skinnies and a tee
D'Orsay pump :: these are the perfect color and amount of toe cleavage for all those cropped trousers
Graphic gold cuff :: imagine this over a thin sweater with a blazer on your shoulders and a pencil skirt
Leather pleated skirt :: mid-length is key for delaying the every day necessity of wearing tights
Navy leather jacket :: give your black moto jacket a rest for this one that's just as versatile yet unexpected
Gray jeans :: shading and edgy details make these jeans so much more interesting than your dark blue ones

Grandma Esther's Hue
My maternal grandmother's favorite color was lilac and every time I see it, I think of her. I decided it was time to invest in a piece of clothing in this lovely pastel since it always brings such fond memories of my time with her. Such as her waking up at 3am to start cooking and baking for a family supper and then getting so wrapped up that she would forget to change out of her nightgown and apron when it was time to eat. Or her beautiful garden that won many awards in her town of Sullivan, IN. As well as her jewelry box full of brooches and clip earrings that always coordinated with her colored skirt suits and matching pumps for church service. And even the comfort and warmth of her flannel sheets in the dead of winter. She was one heck of a woman, and is dearly missed.
