stars are a huge trend for the fall and holiday seasons and nothing says "i'm an american" quite like adding a set of stripes into the mix! because this jumpsuit by itself was a little too scandalous for my liking (i touch on this a bit here), i loved layering this with a blouse underneath! and with the temperatures still a little bit on the warm side, i opted to throw on my go-to heeled sandals...but mostly because i'm not quite ready to put them away. oh and don't worry, the november collection at kate spade is all about navy with silver stars! get excited!!

today's post is just going to be a little reminder to smile...because i think we all need a little bit more of it in the world today.

alright summer, you're out of here! good riddance! adios! ciao! and don't let the door hit you on the way out. but before i fully kick summer to the curb, i couldn't help but squeeze in one more summer dress. sorry fall, i had too! this blue and white dress was just too irresistible for words and naturally i had to pair it with some white pumps. but that's it, i swear! let the layering commence and bring on all of the coats and blanket scarves!
