Baylor game day look on point in this cute striped short shirt dress! The stripes make it so flattering! I paired it with sneakers, but it’s equally as cute with cowboy boots, booties, or tall boots. 👢

A brown linen-blend shirtdress is the perfect transitional fall dress for warm weather, especially when it’s still hot but you’re ready to start dressing for the season. I paired this button-front midi shirtdress with square-toe faux suede ankle booties with a chunky block heel. The roomy square toe box makes these heeled booties much more comfortable! And don’t worry about matching your browns perfectly. When you’re dressing monochromatically, different fabrics and textures naturally take color differently, and the linen-blend dress with faux suede boots gives the outfit more dimension. Finished with Gucci crystal stud earrings and a Gucci twilly for two affordable ways to add a designer touch to a fall outfit.

Fall outfit idea featuring 40% off leopard print wide-leg jeans with a flattering high-rise contoured fit, paired with an up to 50% off brown ruffle short-sleeve sweater available in 4 colors. I finished the look with brown suede ankle boots, a structured cognac handbag, and gold heart jewelry for an easy elevated casual fall outfit for women.

I refuse to sweat for the sake of fall fashion. 😂

This linen-blend shirtdress gives me all the fall color I’m craving while still making sense when it’s HOT outside. And right now, it’s 30% off!

I paired it with square-toe faux suede booties, and that roomy toe box makes such a difference in how comfortable they are. Also, notice that the browns don’t match perfectly. They don’t need to! When you’re dressing monochromatically, mixing slightly different shades and textures actually makes the whole look more interesting. Linen blend + faux suede = totally fine in my book.

Then I added a Gucci twilly and crystal studs for a little designer fun without the designer-bag price tag. Those kinds of small details are such an easy way to play with your style in the empty nest, and I am ALL about having more fun with our clothes at this stage of life!
