You guys, I'm stuck in limbo over here! We're half way into November and it's literally 80 degrees out.  A few years ago, I worked for a small company that operated out of both California and Virginia.  I'd often call the Virginia receptionist and talk all about the weather because I was so fascinated with how cold it was out there and how hot it was here.  While she talked about her 50 degree weather, I kind of felt horrible telling her I spent the first few hours of Thanksgiving at the beach *insert palm to face here*.  Still, I enjoyed conversing with her and painting an image of what fall looked like somewhere else and all I'd wear if I lived in a place like Virginia.  That's the thing about fall in Orange County though!  Because our weather is so warm 75% of the year, we lose out on pretty coats but we do gain the creativity of establishing our own kind of fall style.  Who's to say we can't wear felt hats when it's 80 degrees out!?  It's fall!  I like to say my fall style is all about transitional items and making the basics work.  If you can look like fall without causing yourself heat exhaustion - do it. Check out my fall look below for a little more inspiration and don't forget to shop my look above in the links.  Talk to you guys soon!

How To Wear a Double Buckle Belt

Crop Top: Zara (Shop similar here + here) // Skirt: Target Who What Wear Collection (Shop similar here + here) // Belt: Windsor - sold out (Shop similar here + here) // Bootes: HM (Shop similar here + here)

Let me tell you guys about the time I bought this super cute (and inexpensive) belt for my first ever Coachella.  Well, long story short, I had planned on wearing this the day I watched Guns N' Roses with my vintage high waisted shorts and GNR shirt.  I ended up forgetting the belt and I was pretty devastated because it was that one accessory that I knew was going to complete my outfit.  Le sigh. Flash forward to a few months post Coachella, I finally got myself to toss this belt around my waist and give it a spin.  This is only my second time wearing it and I honestly love it so much for its versatility.  I've seen my girlfriends wear this type of belt with shorts or jeans and it always looks so darn cute.  I chose to wear it one time around a tunic jean dress I have to create a more body hugging figure and then again around this hunter green skirt as just a fun accessory.  I don't usually wear belts, but when I do I love to toss them around my waist!  It's something about the feminine touch of showing off ones waist that sparks the call I guess haha.  Anyway, I hope your weekend was great.  Have a great first day of the week tomorrow!
