I’ve affectionately dubbed this my “party dress”. The color. The detail of the embroidery. The floaty swish of the hem. Party Dress.

But regardless of what you call it, it is a delight. I scooped it up on sale and am also enamored with it’s equally adorable cream counterpart, seen here.

This summer I wore it with strappy sandals and sometimes a denim vest– farmer’s market, movie in the park, date night on the patio. With fall, I’m switching out the sandals for short booties and throwing on a light jacket in the cool evening hours– another date night, weekend errands, a fun weekday alternative to jeans.

May your Thursday be filled with even tiny reasons to party!

Something about these flares must make me think of times-gone-by. Last time I wore them next to a restored airstream. This time we asked our friends if we could take some shots with Old Blue. Not the jeans. Old Blue is the name of their truck.

If you take the truck out of it and get back to the outfit, I’m still loving these blue jeans for fall. Good news, they are back in stock in all sizes! Flares that just. don’t. stop. Denim and denim, that’s even better. So here’s to the 70’s, to all denim ensembles, to flares and high waists, to old trucks, and new ways.

Happy Tuesday!

I am equally enamored with fall style for men as I am for women. It is the burnished reds, the perfect ocher browns, the awesome olive neutrals that get me EVERY TIME! So in keeping with my Fall Style Mash Up for the ladies, I present you with a fall style worksheet for HIM. From the top right, clockwise:

Comfy Cotton Cashmere Sweater

Wear Everywhere, Anywhere Boots

A Substantive Watch

Easy Olive Anorak

Dress It Up, Dress It Down Car Coat in Charcoal

Perfectly Soft Washed Plaid Shirt

Bike Parts T-shirt

Your fall wardrobe dreams don’t have to end here! I’d pair this mix with gray jeans, a nubby brown sweater, and those same killer Aether sunglasses I featured for the ladies!!!

Have a rocking autumn Thursday!!!

It’s FALL! I’ll tell you how I know. The smoke cleared from our beautiful little valley just in time for the first day of school (yesterday). Behold! What we saw was reinvigorating! The leaves on a few of the trees on the mountainsides are already blazing red. The air was crisp as we made the walk up the hill to Soldier Hollow Charter School. My youngest was whining to have a coat on his “hike” down to the car.

This is hands down my favorite season of the year for so many reasons, and Fall Style, Fashion, and Dressing are just a few more reasons to be joneses on Autumn!!!

As I am still prepping outfit photos for the season, I thought I’d sub in this fun Fall Style Mash Up for my wonderful readers. The color story here is clear. I am hankering after classic reds, deep greens, and that just-so gray to bring me full circle into the season.

Another awesome addition to your denim this fall is a pair of high-waisted skinnies. I love the ones above from Madewell.

I know I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again. I live in a pretty rad state. I am bowled over, blown away, awed, and left astounded time and again by the beauty that is Utah. Now listen, I also understand that States are arbitrary places. Lines drawn by humans and governments to create place and order and voting precincts.

But WOW. I cannot get over the sublimity, the grandeur, the sweep and flow of this landscape. Need I go on! LOL.

August has arrived. Summer is winding to its close. It was a quick one, I tell you, at least over here at R+R. I felt as though it was the 4th of July before I knew and BOMB! Here comes fall, and autumn, and school, and schedules. Sort of still in shock.

We mustn’t get ahead of ourselves, however. I’m going to savor the last bit of summer we have ahead of us. I’m going to stand on a cliff and let the wind blow my hair back. I’m going to stare at a lizard, and kick up some red dust. I hope you are having or embarking on a lovely Tuesday. Thanks for stoping by!
