What I Actually Wore: 12 Casual Outfits

September 2, 2026 No Comments

We are starting the slow decline from summer into fall. I’m adding a layer to most of my outfits and we’re starting to see the trees change colors and the nights are beginning to get cooler. I already miss summer because where I live it seemed so short this year. We had a mostly cool June and a pretty cool August as well (the Farmer’s Almanac did predict that and I was hoping it wouldn’t be the case), so we really only had July for good summer weather. But alas, I do love fall and all that comes with it. I am obviously especially excited for fall fashion–denim, boots, scarves, jackets and more! Before we get there though, we have to have some transitional outfits. Check out these 12 summer to fall transitional outfits I’ve worn lately.

These shorts are a favorite pair of mine! Stretchy, comfy, soft, and the best color! Loved pairing them with a sweater for this outfit.

We had a women’s conference at our church and this is what I wore the final day of it. Anything without a waistband is always a good idea for a day that requires lots of sitting!

Just a casual tee and jeans outfit with my favorite boxy tee!

I love how this outfit turned out! The red shoes make it so fun! I cut these jeans because I am 5’1”.

Outfit of the Day

An all black outfit for spring

April 21, 2024 No Comments

Something I love, in ALL SEASONS, is an all black outfit. It’s always chic and looks so put together.

Here is my version of an all black outfit for spring—I love this top—it’s stretchy and comfy while also being super flattering! I paired it with wide leg jeans (I cut mine off because I am 5’1”), and Mary Jane shoes.

I think the whole thing turned out great and my first thought is that I would wear it for a spring date night — maybe throwing a black denim jacket over it for a cooler night?

Ten Ways to Wear Burnt Orange Wide Leg Pants

October 31, 2023 No Comments

I ordered these pants last year from Quince (which is a sustainable, affordable, & ethical brand) & I ended up having to re-order two sizes up because of how high-waisted they are and how they fit my body. They are super comfortable now and so cute! I have been wanting a pair of pants in this burnt orange color that I can wear in all seasons, and these are perfect. They’re finally back in stock and linked HERE.
