Backyard barbecue on your calendar? Here’s how to look stylish and stay comfy at a summer party! ☀️

Start with the right shoes for grass or patio, think block heels or flats. Pick a lightweight dress with a lining so it’s not see-through and you can wear it all day. Layer up with a jean jacket or sweater if it gets cool at night, and switch up accessories like jewelry or a cute wrap to set the vibe.

Same jeans different top. This top never lets me down. There’s something about that cinch in the waist that makes me feel instantly put together. Greg and I spent the morning walking around the farmers market. A perfect fall morning I’m linking his outfit too, for those of you that asked

The weather literally turned overnight and I am so cold. The only reason I’m happy is I get to break out this jacket, lol I’ve had it for a couple years and I’m so glad they brought it back. It’s a Car coat length which goes nicely with so many Jeans styles. And I do love me an animal print.

ONE PIECE, THREE WAYS: Green Sweater Set!

Styling one versatile piece three ways instantly adds more options to your closet. Pair it with navy slacks for a polished look, denim with a black belt for casual cool, or match it with statement trousers for fashion-forward flair.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal #LTKWorkwear

Looking for the perfect business casual outfit that’s secretly as comfy as pajamas? These are two of the softest pieces ever and ideal for work! The pants have a hidden elastic back for ultimate comfort. No more feeling bound in the middle. Slip pockets and a flat front keep it polished and professional while still feeling easy and effortless.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKHoliday #LTKWorkwear

Black and navy together? Yes, you absolutely can! 🖤💙

The key is to find a piece that already mixes both colors, like my navy blazer with black accents. Just like mixed metal jewelry, it ties everything together and looks intentional. Bonus points for a lightweight yet wintry jacket—perfect for those chilly days or if you’re a snowbird!

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKStyleTip #LTKWorkwear

A scarf as a belt is a super easy way to add some fun to your outfit!!

You can wear it with the ends showing for a playful look or tuck them under for a clean, simple vibe. If one way feels too busy, try the other before you give up on the style. Sometimes a quick switch makes all the difference!

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal

The 4 point tuck is the secret to styling bulky sweaters without all the extra bulk! ✨

Just tuck a little bit of your sweater at the north, south, east, and west points and let the rest fold under for a more flattering, proportioned look. This trick works wonders for getting a polished half-tucked vibe with any chunky knit.

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal

The rule of juxtaposition is my go-to for making outfits interesting! Mixing a sequin skirt with a chunky Fair Isle sweater adds a cool, unexpected twist that’s comfy and chic. Keeping everything in the same color family makes it work, and the stretchy waistband on this skirt means it’s just as practical as it is stylish.

Also, fair isle sweaters are having a moment! They never really go out of style, but they’re especially in right now.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKShoeCrush #LTKHoliday

I found this super fun jacket while shopping for a client the other day. It is as if your barn coat and your raincoat had a baby. I also really like the longer length because I can wear it with my barrel jeans. You can’t see it, but it has a nice brown corduroy collar.

#LTKItBag #LTKWorkwear #LTKStyleTip

I’m kind of obsessed with this jacket. It mixes navy and black together to make it easy to wear both. It also has the look of a Chanel tweed but is quite lightweight. Perfect for snowbirds. I think it runs a little on the small side. I’m in a size 6. And could even go up to an 8 in the shoulders. It’s a wonderful silhouette to pair with wide leg pants.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKStyleTip #LTKWorkwear

Not all tall boots are created equal! 👢✨

Even a great pair from a few years ago might not feel modern with today’s styles. The boot you want as we’re heading into 2026 is a clean, sleek silhouette that pairs perfectly with skinny jeans and an oversized jacket. Just a little update can make your favorite outfits look totally current!

#LTKWorkwear #LTKShoeCrush #LTKSeasonal

Let’s call this a 20 hour outfit. I spent the entire day pre-shopping and pulling items for a client. So I was on my feet and walking. And then went out to dinner and drinks with a friend. I walked 15,000 steps and felt polished and put together the entire time. I love how this top is cropped, but not cropped if you know what I mean. It’s definitely an investment, but I know I will wear it a ton and it will be worth every penny. So get ready to see this top on repeat, lol.

#LTKWorkwear #LTKStyleTip #LTKItBag

Looking for the perfect Thanksgiving outfit? 🍂 I’ve got you covered!

This spice-colored top with a touch of volume and comfy elastic is a total winner for any fall gathering. Pair it with Colette pants (I’m loving the velvet) for a universally flattering look that works for everybody. Seriously, these pants are a bestseller for a reason!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

Polka dots aren’t just for summer anymore! This trend is popping up for fall in all shapes and sizes, from micro prints to bold statement dots. If you love a touch of femininity, or you want a subtle twist like this micro dot shirt, there’s a polka dot out there for you.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKWorkwear #LTKShoeCrush

NOTE: I know the pants need to be steamed, I was just excited to try them on right out of the box!!

Mixing patterns doesn’t have to be tricky! Try pairing pinstripes with a delicate lace top for a subtle yet sophisticated look. The key is keeping the colors in the same family, making pattern mixing easy for work or play.

Bonus: These dress pants have a hidden elastic waistband for comfort no one will notice. I’m all about stylish outfits that feel as good as they look! 💕

Another case of taking a summer dress and pairing it with a boot/booty. This dress was a favorite over the summer paired with sandals. Now it will be a Fall favorite paired with boots.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal #LTKShoeCrush

Slouchy suede bags are everywhere this season and I’m loving the relaxed vibe! Soft, unstructured shapes are perfect for anyone who’s a tote girl at heart, but loves a little extra style. The magnetic closure means you can toss things in and head out the door without fuss. Navy pairs so well with dark denim and keeps your look polished!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKSaleAlert #LTKSeasonal

I pulled out this old blazer because it got cool in the evening. I’m leaning heavily into navy these days. There’s something a little softer than black. And, by the way, in doing this round up, I realize I’m wearing these boots a lot this week. Lol.

#LTKWorkwear #LTKShoeCrush #LTKStyleTip

Ever put on your long coat and felt like something was just off? Here’s why: the length matters more than you think. When your overcoat hits the wrong spot, especially with today’s wider-leg jeans, it can throw off your whole look. The secret is to let your coat graze your ankles for a sleek, elongated line that flatters every silhouette! 🫶🏼

#LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal #LTKShoeCrush

Level up your loungewear with the preppy sweat set trend! ✨🥰

Adding a collared shirt or rugby-style neckline instantly elevates a classic sweat set, so you feel chic and comfy at the same time. The Johnny collar V is especially flattering for my bustier friends! Think cozy meets polished without sacrificing comfort.

#LTKTravel #LTKStyleTip #LTKShoeCrush

I love pairing a more “summer” dress with booties to help take it into Fall. Especially when the booties are suede in a rich warm color like this tan or a brown. It seems to be a good formula for navigating days that are warm, but where the calendar says it’s fall.

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKStyleTip #LTKShoeCrush

Who doesn’t love a good surprise? This black dress is way more than meets the eye, it’s funky, mod, super comfy, and cool. No need to suck in or worry about wrinkles, just throw it on and feel amazing! I couldn’t wait to show you this one. ✨💕

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKStyleTip #LTKWedding

Yes, you can wear brown and black together. I love it so much. Especially when the brown has a texture like the suede boots and belt. And the black has some depth to the fabric like these washed out black jeans.

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKShoeCrush #LTKStyleTip

Brown and suede are the must-try trends for fall! 🍂

Mixing a suede shirt jacket with dark denim is a perfect way to play with texture and color. The combo feels fresh and the stitching details really pull the look together! Layer it up, add some fun sunglasses with colored lenses, and you’re set for autumn adventures!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKStyleTip

Denim on denim doesn’t have to be intimidating! Pair similar washes and stitching for a perfectly matched look, even if your pieces didn’t come as a set. I’m loving the mix of unique details like a purple corduroy collar and cozy brushed cashmere for fall.

Break up the pieces to create new outfits or wear them together for seriously cool style. Try balancing baggier fits with something slimmer or add a cropped jacket to give it your own twist!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKStyleTip

Monochromatic dressing isn’t just about wearing one exact shade! Think of it as color washing. It’s mixing different tones and textures of the same color for a modern, sophisticated look. 🤎

This fall you’ll see plenty of this trend, and the best part is, the pieces don’t have to match perfectly! Different browns and fun textures come together for an intentional, stylish look. Plus, matching separates give you the comfort and customization of a dress, but they’re actually a top and bottom!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKStyleTip

A sweater over the shoulders adds that perfect finishing touch to any outfit!! ✨

My go-to trick is to button up your cardigan, fold it flat (almost to the armpit), and drape it so there’s no extra fabric hanging. Keep the buttons on the inside for a sleek, polished look. If it feels bulky, just tuck in the extra bit for a cleaner line!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKStyleTip

Brown is the perfect way to branch out from traditional black pants and add warmth to your fall wardrobe! 🤎

Look for mocha, coffee, or toffee browns that feel rich and inviting, without being too bold or showy. This subtle color swap keeps your look harmonious and stylish, even if you usually shy away from color. It’s the easiest way to ease into wearing something new without feeling out of your comfort zone!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKStyleTip

Boho style isn’t just for summer music festivals!! My favorite way to elevate boho is with clean lines, rich browns and a mix of boots or sandals. This dress caught my eye because it works perfectly for fall, but it’s light enough for a Florida winter too. It’s all about finding those versatile pieces that look stylish year-round!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKFindsUnder50

Resin jewelry is having a major moment and it’s the perfect way to add some fun, statement pieces to your wardrobe! Bold, clunky bracelets are everywhere right now, from vintage finds to new styles at Zara. If you want to try the trend without a big commitment, grab an entry-level resin piece and see how it feels. And if you inherit some vintage bakelite or score a treasure at the flea market, even better!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKStyleTip

Have you noticed that retailers are switching things up lately with more of a “buy now, wear now” mentality!?

Instead of packing stores with heavy sweaters and boots in the heat of August, fall pieces are arriving gradually. So if you spot a trend you love but don’t see it in stores just yet, don’t worry, those new runway-inspired pieces are on their way.

Stay trend-informed and keep your wishlist handy. Sometimes the best style finds are just around the corner!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKStyleTip

Barn jackets are the effortless cool-girl staple your fall wardrobe needs! 🧥

Think English countryside vibes, but totally wearable for everyday. Whether you splurge on a designer version or snag a budget-friendly find, this style is gaining major traction and looks amazing layered over just about anything.

Plus, if you’re looking to switch things up from your usual jeans? Khaki and olive pants are a chic, comfy alternative that feel a little more elevated but stay casual enough for running errands. They're perfect for places where denim isn't allowed too!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKStyleTip

One sequin skirt, endless possibilities! ✨

Pair it with a silk blouse to elevate your look or throw on a cozy sweater and boots for effortless cozy chic. Remixing pieces you love means more wear and better value, no matter the price tag! I’m all about making every item in your closet work harder for you.

Which look do you like best?
