Spotted Transitioning into Fall Fashion

WELL. Here we are in the week leading up to Labor Day. I think we all knew this day would come, but that doesn’t help us feel any better about it. Ok, maybe if you’re a Mom and you’re excited for your kids to be back at school you’re feeling pretty good right about now. I’m sure there are many other reasons for you to be enjoying the feeling of change in the air. Now is about the time I start dreaming of beach vacations for Winter. Nothing wrong with that, right?!

Caitlin in the meantime has already booked a trip to Banff, Canada with some of her friends. They’ll be doing some hiking and checking out Lake Louise, stay tuned for some undoubtedly epic pictures and a highly requested hiking clothes post. If you’ve been there before, please drop your recommendations in the comments below, she is hoping to get the must-dos/tries from people who’ve visited before! Is anyone else dreaming of a future trip or planning one currently? Either one, let us know in the comments. We love to hear about others ideas!

With the slight temperature shifts, we’re starting to make little tweaks to our daily outfits. It seems we’re drawn more and more to grabbing for denim than the typical shorts. While it’s hard to think of covering our legs again for what feels like forever, at least the jeans that are dropping for Fall are amazing options. 

Fashion has seriously shifted into prioritizing comfort, and our jeans definitely reflect that. Manufacturers have solved the issue of sacrificing structure for comfort. Now the two can be married, and wearing the latest cut of jeans can both flatter you and be seriously comfortable simultaneously. 

This is the case with Caitlin’s current favorite denim, Gap’s Cigarette style jeans. We last showcased them over the Summer and Spring, check the post here. At that point, other people had already caught on that they were magical jeans and they were promptly sold out. Don’t let it happen to you again, snatch these up ( some sizes are already on backorder so hurry!)! They hug your curves incredibly, as evidenced on Caitlin. Every time she wears them, she gets so many compliments. It’s even better because they’re not skin tight. I don’t know about y’all but sometimes I get so weary of wearing skinny jeans! I just want to let my knees breathe, and these are the perfect alternative.

One of the items she snapped up from the Nordstrom sale, was this polka dot cami. We’re pretty selective about the items we buy from the sale. We don’t regularly shop at Nordstrom, so we’re not going to go crazy during the sale. As much as we’d like to, we normally choose more budget-friendly items, plus they don’t carry tall options anyway. So even if we wanted to support them with our money, we’re restricted by a lack of options. However, there are certain items that are long enough, if you take the time to browse and try on. With high-waisted jeans forever being our favorites, a lot of tops that wouldn’t work with lower rises become great options.

Polka dot is a fun, classic print. Plus the silky material dresses it up easily. It’s one of those unicorn tops that you can wear anywhere. Throw a blazer over in the cooler months and wear it to work with a pair of dress pants. Wear it with some black jeans and a moto jacket and you’re ready for a night out. The shirt that keeps on giving, it’s a power player for her closet. 

This look is timeless, and Caitlin will be rocking it in variations for years to come. Tell us below if you’re shopping for Fall denim yet, and if so, where?
