It's unbelievable to me how quickly the weather can change. Just a day ago, it was warm and humid and felt like mid-July. Today, however, it is ridiculously windy and pretty chilly. Fall is in the air! We are supposed to get a few more days of 80 degrees and then it's supposed to start dropping. I am so sad to see summer go! Although, I did have my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the year and I really enjoyed it...

By now, you probably know this, but I adore a good online boutique! I love finding unique and trendy pieces that you could never find at Target or American Eagle (and you all know I loveeee me some AE and Targ). When Monica of Monica's Closet Essentials (or MCE) contacted me, I became OBSESSED immediately. This is a boutique that I know I will be purchasing from repeatedly. Monica stocks the CUTEST stuff and styles most pieces on the site and her blog (Yes! She blogs! Check her out at Monica's Notebook!), showing you how truly versatile and adorable each and every piece is. Another bonus? All pieces are affordable, allowing you to attain the latest fashions without the $0 bank account balance. Monica is the sweetest person you could ever meet and is gorgeous to boot! Don't be surprised if you see her around these parts again...yay for blogosphere friends!

This bow back top from MCE is the cutest! I am always looking for cute new long sleeves for the colder months and this one is perfection. The rich burgundy color (my favorite for fall) and loose-ish fit make for the most flattering top. The sweet bow in the back is lace and an open back give it a little bit of sass. I'm not going to lie...I kind of want to wear this top every single day! I paired it with my sweet new bow clutch/crossbody also from MCE. I love love love that I can wear this bag across my body or carry it, as I have been dying for a cute clutch and this one TOTALLY fits the bill! Plus, the color combo is perfect for any season and it goes with just about anything! I paired the bow top and bow clutch with a sweet polka dot mini and OF COURSE my favorite boots (hands down, the best purchase ever). I was definitely feeling like a sophisticated Minnie Mouse and I reallyyyy liked it.
