Happy Friday everyone! As September rolls through, the days continue to become shorter and the leaves become darker. I tend to throw on items of clothing that match the season. In this case, I'm talking hues of dark green, oranges, reds, and brown. These colors give off a great sense of warmth of comfort during the transitional season of fall.

Today's outfit revolves around Ava & Viv, Target's trendy plus size collection for the full figured fashionista. The line features pieces between the $20-$50 mark. It's a long time coming for the super retail brand, as consumers began to complain about the lack of diversity in their clothing. Although this dress is summery, the hunter green reminds me of the fast coming fall weather. Their fall line is now in stores and on Target.com through October 2016. Good on ya Target!

Happy Sunday everyone! This week's Fall into Fashion series features the coveted vest; a staple item in any fashionista's closet as of late. These vests come in a number of colors, shapes, and fabrics for an easy transition to dressed up or down ensembles. The open concept vest has been all the rage throughout the summer, in flowy and sheer fabrics. I'm re-introducing it in a heavier fabric; the scuba. If you're unfamiliar with a "Scuba Knit" fabric, think of it as a lovechild between polyester and spandex, with less breathing ability and less drape. These fabrics are perfect for the "in-between" seasons, as they don't allow for so much wind to get through. They're fabulous for windy days, especially since they're normally double knit pieces. So even though this piece was sleeveless, I was definitely warm.

I got this sleeveless blazer from one of my favorite boutiques, Stacked Apparel.  I'm in love with the ivory color, which I had to have to compliment the crisp air we're sure to  experience in the next few weeks. The mid thigh length will also come in handy.

I paired the blazer with this gold boomerang choker necklace I got from Wish. Look at that gold! I'm still getting used to this whole choker thing, but it really does add an element of regal goddess to any look.

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope everyone's weeks were productive and powerful.

So we're officially into September. And we all know what that means. Hoodies, sweaters, long boots, pumpkin spice everything, and lots and lots of leaves. As fall quickly approaches, the dresses will get a little longer, the day a bit shorter, and breeze a bit...cooler. I know that I used to have some issues transitioning from maxi dresses into fall boots. Honestly, how DO you dress when the weather was 55 degrees this morning and a hazy 78 degrees only a few hours later?!Soooo...in the spirit of the season, I'll be doing a bit of a series for the next few weeks entitled, "Transitioning into the Fall", specifically for those who just don't know what to do during these in between times. I feel your pain.


First up, is this tribal print dress I got from Target a few years back. The brand is Merona, and its a perfect transition piece for the fall. The material is key here, as I didn't want to go full on sweater, and the  cool, dewy weather didn't quite permit for flowy fabrics. This mid length dress allowed for me to still show some leg when the sun came up, while still being sure to cover up and reduce the likelihood of a chest cold with the high and tie neck detailing.

On my feet, I donned this booties from Maurices. In true transitional form, my toes are slowly descending back into my shoes, with only a peep toe featured on this booties. The brown, rustic color is also reminiscent of fall.

What kinds of things do you wear as you try and muddle through the in-between of Summer/Fall? What kinds of outfits do you need? Leave a comment below. I love hearing from you!
