Style Notes: Emerald and Tangerine

Monday

I decided to remix these wool shorts that I have not worn in a while. This is an outfit that I wore to go shopping for work, which is always fun and never droning. Thinking on my feet, I put my colleague to work to take some fun styleshots literally within minutes, since we really had no time to spare! Yes, how very ... "blogger" of me!

When it comes to shopping, generally I’m quite disciplined because ...
#1-I really don't like to carry loads of bags with me, and if you've not noticed by now this is one reason why I always have a carry-on and never check luggage!

#2-I tend to analyse garments, often wondering how well the clothes or accessories can fit in my wardrobe, amongst a multitude of other things. For me, workable pieces that have texture and colour will typically win the battle of those “what do I wear,” type of days. This is especially the case if staple items, like jeans and a Tee aren’t within reach!

A Summer, “Good-bye” and Autumn, “Hello”
Are you ready for the season transition or are you happily holding on to summer? I am definitely ready for autumn to the point that I’ve already pinned my favourite coat and boot styles many weeks ago! And, although, it may be a bit too early to don coat styles, I will simply enjoy the comfort of my plaids and (possibly one last time to wear) shorts sans tights.

Project Updates:
I have a demanding week ahead; however I will update you soon on a new project that I’ve been working on. Think leather! I purchased some new leather yardage, and very pleased to work with these special cuts! Hopefully, I will have more info and a few snapshots of progress on that in the near future. For now, just enjoy my pre-autumn greetings in emerald and tangerine.

Did you have an exciting weekend?

*I am also linking this post with the lovely Bella, of (The Citizen Rosebud) for her "Shoe Shine" event. It was a tough decision, however I chose these shoes, although they aren't sparkled, because I love how comfortable they are. They are handmade made from Spanish leather with cut-outs, but with closed toes, making it excellent for all seasons. Check out other bloggers sport their favourite shoes here.

  22. Madison, your colleague took so awesome pics girl! I am loving those shorts. The color of the plaid is so pretty and looks great with that top & leather jacket. We're still in summer mode here in new orleans. I've been purchasing things for Fall though. Can't wait for some cooler weather. Can't wait to see the leather products you came up with! Have an awesome week.
