How To: Silver in the Fall

If you've been around my blog a while, even ten minutes, you know my style is very casual. Even my dressed up looks will have disheveled hair. I'm such a sucker for effortless pieces. I was doing some Fall shopping recently and found a pair of strappy silver heels for $10. GUYS. First, strappy heels. Heart eyes. Second, $10! Third, end of summer sales are my fav. The obvious here is that I scooped them up. Though they don't scream Fall, you can definitely create a cozy look just the same. A chunky knit in a neutral color like the one pictured creates a beautiful juxtaposition of warm and cool tones which I'm so in love with. You will probably see some variation of this look on the blog very soon.

***These heels are no longer available online but check your local HM. Run!

I love a good drop waist dress. If not done right though, these types of dresses can really drown a woman. I have a short torso and this silhouette really helps to elongate me and even out proportions, even at 5'11. All my height is in my legs so proportions are still really important. In order to make it look like I still have a waist, I paired it with my jean jacket which is not quite a cropped jacket but almost. It cuts in right at the small at my waist and creates the illusion that my torso is longer than it is. Eye trickery is a beautiful thing. :) All you short-waisted gals, invest in a drop waist dress! It's a miraculous little style tip.

In other news, I'm sore. I worked out too hard apparently this weekend and by body is saying NONONONONO. Sitting is a challenge. Walking is a challenge. Getting dressed is a challenge. Really, doing anything that isn't sitting on the couch is a challenge. Monday is really shaping up to be a typical Monday.
