Fall Essentials: Ankle Booties

This is the time of year that I start scouring my favorite shops for the perfect pair of ankle booties to add to my fall wardrobe. A new pair of booties is one of my fall essentials as it's something I wear constantly through the fall, winter, spring and even in the summer with a dress or denim cut offs. I always look for something I know I will get a ton of wear out of that will look good with anything and everything! This year, it's going to be tough to make a decision as there are so many contenders! I think this year I will be splurging on a great pair of brown ankle booties (options here) as they tend to be an absolute necessity in my wardrobe (and my current pair are just about worn out!). Along with my ankle booties, I will be looking for a new pair of rainboots and over the knee boots, but I will share my top picks with you later:)

This week's blogger of the week from last weeks link up is the gorgeous Chioma of Chioma's Evolution of Style! First off, how seriously BEAUTIFUL is her hair?! I'm pretty much obsessed with her stunning curls. This was the perfect 4th of July outfit, as the blue and white stripe dress pop amazingly with her red shoes. Not to mention that unexpected yellow bag! I love it! You look absolutely stunning, sweet girl! I have definitely found a new blog to check regularly!

Repeat Offender: Scallops + Tassels

 Top: Antique Garden 'Cannes' Top  c/o (only $24!) //  Skirt: Topshop via Nordstroms 'Scallop Hem' skirt // Clutch: Big Buddha Tassel Pouch // Shoes: Old - identical option here // Bracelets: Forever 21 'Faux Stone Cuff' + Bauble Bar 'Pave Carrie' Cuff 

You may remember seeing this outfit here. I wore this exact combo fairly recently, but who isn't guilty of re-wearing their favorite outfits? I may have mentioned my love for this Antique Garden Boutique top on the last post, but I have fallen in love with it even more since! It's seriously the perfect top for any occasion, and perfect for summer as it is so light and airy. Plus, it comes in 3 fabulous colors and is only $24! It's a no brainer to pair it with my favorite scalloped skirt. Be prepared to see this little number often...I've had it on major repeat lately! For my repeat wear this time, I traded out my 4th of July accessories and incorporated some heeled sandals and a fun tassel pouch. Instant date night attire!

Fun tassel pouches have been one of my obsessions this summer. They are such a fun way to add a special touch to any outfit! My favorite brand has to be Star Mela! If you are looking for a fun clutch or even cross body bag with tassels, embroidery and bright colors you must check them out!
