Early Fall Fashion

01

We have had the most beautiful weather…not too hot, not to cold, but just right!  I bought this dress to wear to Sarah and Will’s rehearsal dinner and that night was so hot, humid and sticky, but today was a different story.  If you’re looking for the easiest…yet elegant, dressy…yet could be so casual, comfortable dress, then look no further.  This dress from Michael Stars is all of those things and more!  I wore it turned backwards several times, because the lace up front looks great in the back and the front looks equally good in the back!  Sometimes, knit dresses get butt sprung (you know what that means), but not this one.  It holds its shape beautifully.  If I were taller, I would probably love this dress with flats, but it’s so perfect with these shoes from Tory Burch.  Let’s talk about the shoes!  They are very decadent and so rich going into the fall season and will also be amazingly beautiful with black velvet for the holidays.  The bag, from Henri Bendel is very on trend, with the cute handle, but is still a classic clutch!  This outfit is simplicity at it’s best!

I’ve had several people ask me about hair products and I want to share a product that I’ve recently found that has made a huge difference in the way my hair stays after it’s styled.  It can be very humid here in North Carolina and while no product can completely protect your hairstyle, this one is the best that I’ve found.  It’s called Smooth Criminal by Beyond The Zone and it’s a thermo protect spray.  I spray it on each piece before I put heat on it with a curling iron or flat iron and it protects from the heat and really makes the style stay on a humid day! 

Have a great Labor Day and enjoy the last part of this beautiful long weekend!  Follow me on Instagram @crazyblondelifeblog and leave your comments below!

    Thanks for providing the items you are wearing in a format so that we can shop! Yes, cleaning, decluttering is a job I have to do on a rainy day!

      Hi Roxanne! Thanks so much for reading! I’m going to do a workout video very soon, but I’ll have to say that I was a swimmer in school and have always had the same arms..just like my dad! I haven’t done a post on workouts yet, just yoga. I hope you had a great weekend!
