The Real Fashionista

How cute is this lace up front denim dress ya'll?  Yesterday was like summer outside, so having a dress like this for these hot summer days we are still having is a must.  I've mentioned it before, but these suede espadrille's are seriously some of the comfiest shoes I own.  They are a bit more than I would generally like to spend on a "sneaker" but the comfort level coupled with the fact that they can be worn nearly all year around made them worthy of the higher price tag.

Did everyone have a great weekend?  I am actually wearing this fall colored striped off the shoulder top as I type this post!  It was so hard to getting up this morning that I decided instead of my usual workout gear for a Monday I needed a fall inspired piece to wear, along with my 5 cups of coffee!

Woah does anyone else having a hard time adjusting this morning?  It's the boys first day of school and while I am thrilled to be back on a schedule and focus more on the blog, I sort of want to have a little cry that summer is over.  I've always had a hard time with this, even as a kid but my kids are the complete opposite which is definitely a good thing.  No anxiety for them at all last night and totally pumped about the first day of school!  I meanwhile had to take an advil PM last ...
