Just Add a Cardigan...

As I promised a few post I would style this little summer coral dress for the fall.  Over this past weeks the temps have been dipping into the low 60s at night, and like most of you i am not ready to bid my dearest summer adieu. 

The easiest way to transition summer pieces into the fall is to simply add a layer.  I achieved this look by taking the simple sundress and pairing it with a cardigan.  Secondly, another way to ease into the colder months is by updating your make-up.   Rather you prefer the deep berries, blackish purples or nudes lipsticks, putting away the bright pink and corals will help you embrace the change.

SOSNU Thrift Shop

...and now the fun begins.  This past weekend I did my very first popup thrift shop.  Something Old, Something New is venturing into new lanes, and I couldn't be happier.  In conjunction with Memshop's Soulsville Saturday day market event and the City of Memphis Innovation team, I was given the opportunity to try my hand as a small business owner.

My outfit of choice had to be bright, colorful and scream Something Old, Something New.  I wore a vintage thrifted shirt and a pair of jogger jeans from H&M.  I wanted to be very comfortable and cool, but still very cute and personable.  

After a long, yet gratifying day I am pretty pooped.  I couldn't be happier with the outcome of the pop up.  I would like to thank all my family, friends, and co-workers for the support.  To the Memshop staff - you guys are stellar.  See you next month!!! FYI the next Soulsville Saturday is October 25. 

Style Challenge - Gap Factory Store

Happy Monday guys.  I want to introduce something new to the blog.  I had the idea to start a new series on the blog which gives a few pointers on how to go in stores and build outfits in less than 5 minutes.  This will be lots of fun and I hope it's helpful.

I started in my neighborhood Gap Outlet Store because I am a huge fan of the brands.  You can never go wrong with their classic, americano style as your basis.  I added fun accessories and "voila" - the perfect outfits.

I picked pieces for a casual outfit, as well as a dressier look.  Pictured above are the items I scurried around Gap collecting, and below is short video of me in store and modeling my outfits.

I hope I was able to help with styling looks in limited time.
