A few weeks ago I mentioned things I was excited to wear in the fall. One of them was this collarless sweater blazer from J. Crew. As soon as I saw it I knew it would be a great staple piece, not just for fall, but to wear all year. It's incredibly flattering and so versatile. It comes in this pretty khaki and 4 other colors too. It's definitely not sweater weather here yet, but in the coming weeks we'll start to have slightly cooler mornings and nights and I know I'll reach for this over and over. I got a jumpstart on wearing it and styled it three different ways.

Today I'm sharing a round up of my go-to tops.

It's the first week of August which means fall fashion is being shoved down our throats every time we go shopping. I'm still in total summer mode and paying absolutely no attention to anything even remotely fall like yet. Do you want to know what I am paying attention to? Amazing markdowns on summer stuff. Today I want to share my favorite summer dresses that are all discounted. Because, you know it's going to be warm until at least October.

I've needed a new pair of denim shorts all summer, so I decided it was finally time to bite the bullet and get a pair. But let me just tell you, it wasn't that simple. I tried on five different pairs in order to find the best fit and I wanted to stay under $100.
