August Blues.....

Its inevitable.... every year at the same time, just before Labor day, I get the same feeling. Fall clothes are in the stores, preseason football is on TV, baseball is winding down and of course back to school is here. Its a love/hate thing for me. I love summer, I'm truly a summer baby BUT I hate shorts...as I get older I appreciate them a bit more but have always been a Jeans girl so fall clothes are my weakness. The fall 2011 fashion is AMAZING...wide leg jeans, color blocking, ponchos and capes, chunky heels.... delicious, all of it!!!

I can remember every year school shopping with my mom. Getting all of these amazing things...maybe 10 outfits which I now realize is a TON!! I'd be so excited to wear them that I would rock that perfect outfit the first day and sweat my butt off all day because early September is really still summer!! I've learned over the years to stretch that summer wardrobe... pick up a fantastic new pair of jeans...This year do a wide leg or a fabulous pair of color denim. I have my eye on a pair of bright blue! Tons of designers are making them, from forever 21 all the way to some of my favorite premier designers. Get a new pair of jeans, put on one of your summer tops and pair it with a scarf or a shrunken jacket to give it a more seasonal look. By the time your ready to wear the fall clothes, they will be on sale! Don't snooze on the jeans...in my years of shopping I've learned that jeans are something you need to pay full price for. Its really ok... if you don't think so average out the amount of times you wear them by how much they cost and you'll see... every pair in my closet has been worth every penny!!!!

Enjoy fall shopping and remember, go easy...fall is a short season, and before you know it you will be wearing sweaters and boots, so shop smart!!!! xoP
