Dress: Pinks Boutique (similar here, here, here) / Shoes: Qupid / Purse: c/o (similar here, here)

Long sleeve dresses are one of my favorite things at the moment. Perfect pieces for fall before the weather gets too chilly. I am such a fan of ones with fun prints (as also seen here), which is a big step for me because I am NOT a print wearing kind of girl. Something about this moody floral print really drew me in though.

I also love that pieces like this can be dressed up or down. I will be showing you how I dressed this piece down later this week... stay tuned!

Poncho: Pinks Boutique (actual here) / Tee: Brandy Melville (best tee EVER) / Jeans: Flying Monkey / Hat: Nordstrom / Shoes: Qupid

Happy Monday! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! I had a great weekend. Checked out a new restaurant in Denver (Will Call - super yummy), went shopping at the new wing in Cherry Creek Mall, and celebrated a good friends birthday with some of my favorite gal pals!

Today I'm sharing this uh-mazing poncho that I found at Pinks. Ponchos seem to be making a big comeback this fall and I have to say, I don't hate it! I was skeptical about ponchos at first, but this season I'm all about it. I mean does it really get much cozier than basically being wrapped in a blanket while still being socially acceptable? I think not. It's a great alternative to a sweater and perfect for layering.

I can't stress enough how easy this outfit was. Adding this printed poncho and a statement hat over jeans and a basic tee took me from drab to fab, if you will. Don't get me wrong, I LIVE in jeans and tees, but every once in a while it's nice to add something as simple as a bold layering piece or a statement hat and instantly feel a little more glamorous. Simple pieces and accessories instantly make a basic outfit a little less boring.

How do you feel about the poncho trend? Are you on board?

Have a great rest of your week!

Ok, so it's FINALLY starting to feel like fall around here. The high today was only 70. The mornings are getting cool and the leaves are changing like crazy!

I love this new trend for fall - the longer layering piece. I especially love this piece because I can button it up and wear as a dress. Two looks in one outfit! Fun layering pieces like this allow you to wear those fun summer graphic tanks just a bit longer, and still make a statement. Plus the longer length of this top is definitely different so you're bound to turn some heads. This outfit is a little homage to my college 'uniform'. And when I say uniform, I mean I seriously wore some rendition of a cute tank top, sweater, jeans and boots every single day. How creative, Mal. But my thought process was, I have all these fun summer tanks I'm not ready to part with just yet so just layer over. I still have the same thought process to this day.

What fun fall outfits have you worn so far? I'm needing ideas so send them my way!
