So when I'm not shopping I'm pinning, on Pinterest that is. Pinterest for me is like shopping without spending money. Shopping for the penniless, I'm in. (Don't judge me.) It helps me get the most out of what I already own. I wore this look in Santa Monica the other day, while...you guessed it, shopping.

Here's are some things that caught my eye at Nordstrom.

Proof that I was wearing clothes under that coat. Ha ha

Wear It Out Wednesdays (kelly green)

It's going to be yet another HOT summer day, clothes stare back at me, some even raise their hand  (ok sleeve) high in anticipation of actually seeing daylight. I grab my kelly green shorts (yet again) leaving the rest of my closet seething in jealousy. This is the way most of August went.

I'm beginning a new series where I show you what I have on repeat. I'll pick an item or two each time and show how I'm wearing it out.

kelly green shorts   TJ Maxx  

 T-shirt    Old Navy 

Outfit here

Navy Cardigan   J. crew   (sold out in Navy)

Tank   Target (old)

orange braided belt  H&M 

Tippi sweater   J. Crew  on sale in kelly green
but I want it in every color.

I got these kelly green shorts shortly after I realized that it was way too hot to wear my beloved red jeans everyday, and they quickly found their way into my heart (ok my closet, are the two really so different?) I wish I could keep styling them into fall but I just don't see myself layering them with tights. So I guess I'll just have to buy something else in the color kelly green. 

Oh and the Starbucks? I'm officially addicted to Starbucks, (and the straw is kinda kelly green)

specifically iced Americano. As if I need any more spunk. Thanks for reading.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to drop in and wish everyone a Happy Labor Day. Also wanted to share my weekend outfit of the day.  

I was in Salt Lake City this weekend and wore this to grab a bite to eat. (sorry about the mirror pics, and the poor lighting but I don't have a traveling photographer, ha ha.)

These were taken on a jog through City Creek. I love the outdoors, that's where i feel the most relaxed. Thanks to all of you for reading. For more random snapshots like these follow me on Instagram (Macmeblush)

I never thought red would be such a staple in my closet until I got these colored jeans. They have been on repeat since the day I got them, all through spring and summer. Add a dark colored top, a lightweight leopard scarf,some booties, and a blazer (still a little hot for the last two) and they're ready to take me well into Fall. Being stuck on repeat suddenly became okay.

So I realize that it's still summer but I'm already romanticizing about fall.  The chill in the air, the leaves turning, the fall colors all around, it all can't come soon enough.  This summer has been HOT and I'm ready for cool fall weather.  And I'm lusting over these items to add to my fall wardrobe. Layers here I come.  Anyone with me?
