Black on Black on Vintage Levi's Denim
There was sort of a formula to this outfit. I wanted to wear my favorite polka dot dress but it's a thin chiffon type material, ergo I needed some tights. My tights were not dry yet so I reached for my leggings. My hair was 2 days dirty and I used the last of my dry shampoo but it wasn't quite enough. So up it went into a messy "blogger bun." From there it was simple. Since my hair was up, I could add a fun, vibrant scarf, since I was wearing the scarf I added the tiny tree earrings instead of a necklace. To counterbalance all the black I added this awesome vintage Levi's jacket. I've been wanting to pair my booties with a dress so they were a no-brainer, and the bag was chosen because it had silver hardware. It sounds like this was a process but it literally took about 3 minutes.
I picked the fuchsia lippy to match the colors in my scarf.
I get so frustrated when I review photos and realize something was off. In this case, my belt was askew the entire time. Oh well. I'm human and sometimes I forget to reposition my belt when I get out of my vehicle. I'll live!
Did I succeed in transitioning my light layers into fall? Do you like that I matched my lippy to the color in my scarf? Is this way too much black (I still think so.) Let's discuss!

Thank you Yaudy! I wasn't wearing any other make up so I felt a bright lip was mandatory.
Thank you Lauren! I wanted to wear this again but we just had our first snow :( I'll be bundling up from now on.
Thank you guys! I need thicker leggings now. It just snowed!

Thanks Ra! I am wearing it again today. Fuchsia just perks everything right up!
You look so beautiful here, love the dress! Www.britishmermaid.blogspot.co.uk
You look so cute! I get so mad when something is off in my photo. I'm always like, "Tyler why didn't you tell me my necklace was twisted?!" Our photographers should definitely help us out more! ;)

Thank you Cara!
I know! My Mom says she doesn't like to interfere with my outfits.
adore your layering here and all of the details. You look fabulous. If you get a sec, I'd love if you'd check out my latest outfit courtesy of Lauren Conrad. :) xo

Your dress is so cute. I love your scarf. Scarves are one of my favorite accessories on other people but for some reason I don't wear them very often. I need to change that.
I wear them but I always remove them. Mentally, I always think of scarves as an "outer layer." Even if it goes with my outfit!

Oh thank you Anna!
I am loving the leggins with the short bootie on you. And of course you had me at flora scarf:)

How cute are you ?! I love the layering, this dress and your lipstick shade is perfect!
I liked the peek of ankle between my booties and leggings. It kind of defined the layers.
Thank you Rachel! I miss my long hair though! It doesn't go into a bun as easily now.
you should always wear this shade of lipstick
Love it! It's black and un boring with generous pops of color and textures!
Thank you Marlen! I only wish I had filled in my eyebrows.
Exactly! I needed to have just a wee bit less black!
The scarf looks awesome with the polka dots, and I love the lip color on you!
I like the leggings in place of the tights, it gives the whole outfit an edgier look!
Love the combo of the colorful scarf with the polka dotty dress!

Thanks Angela! I love these booties.
Aw thanks girls! I love denim jackets. I have three.
I think so too! I'm gonna have to invest in some fleece lined ones though!
Thanks Tara! I really live a bright lip.
Thank you Rebecca!
I looooooove polka dots. I can't resist them!
Thank you mommy.
Transition successful! The dress and scarf are really working together. I especially like that you chose a scarf with a pop of color! Definitely brings energy to the outfit.
