Holy Heat Wave!!!!

Ok I am over the sweltering heat already! A heat wave has hit the Midwest this week and it makes me miss my two favorite seasons even more-fall & winter! I've already started shopping my closet for new looks for fall and winter, plus working retail we're always a season ahead so fall colors are trickling their way into the store. While picking up a few essentials at Target I found some really cute pleated crop pants in camel...

With some ankle booties and some cute tops tucked in, maybe striped or something black. I just thought they would be easy to dress up for nights out or dress down for running errands. And decently priced @ $24.99 :). With the pleated top it tends to thin out the waist and make you appear thinner, always a plus. I have some wide-leg trousers with a pleated top and tie belt similar to these and I adore how easy they are to wear so a skinnier cropped pair would be a nice addition to my closet.

So after work yesterday I was bored so I wandered into J.Crew and found a sweater on sale that I couldn't take my eyes off of. In my fall mind I thought why not! My boyfriend thinks I am crazy for buying a sweater in the middle of July but I just couldn't help myself and he should know how I just love fall & winter, right?

Much like the pants this sweater can be dressed up or down! You can find the sweater on the J.Crew factory website but I bought mine in-store and got it for 50% off the lowest price! I love getting a bargain! J.Crew has become one of my favorite stores and I will definitely be going back for great oxfords and sweaters for the upcoming season.

For now I'll be hanging out in the pool but watching the leaves for any hint of color change ;)
