Update Your Fall Fashion with Fab Jewelry + WIN a $50 Gift Card to T.J.Maxx and Marshalls

“How many pieces of jewelry do you own?” a friend quizzically asked me recently. My response was pretty much along the lines of “I have no clue!” as I’m always on the hunt for a cool new piece, be it vintage or new, at a great price that can look great from season to season, year to year, without being too tied down to a particular trend or look. This past week I took the T.J.Maxx and Marshalls Fall Transition Blogger Challenge, which was right in line with favorite kind of adornment, by using accessories as the perfect update to transition one’s wardrobe from summer into fall. With the great selection of high-quality, designer accessories found at the stores, it’s easy to make a quick yet meaningful enhancement to your look without taking up too much space in your closet.

As I shopped for pieces to style from a summer to fall perspective, I generally went for baubles that struck a chord with my fashion sensibility, but also sought out jewelry that had a substantial texture to them that could work well against filmy garments and warmer layers alike. I also was selective about my color choices, opting for more all-over gold or silver tone accessories while keeping the colorful pieces slightly more muted, so they weren’t so heavily reminiscent of summer brights and fall/winter neutrals.

(Almost) Sandal Weather

Soooo close! But no cigar. I am grateful that I haven’t done the winter to summer clothing/handbag/footwear switch over in my closet yet, but on the other hand… I’m really starting to miss using some of my warm weather pieces. Going all light cotton with the wardrobe, I managed to pair together some pieces that left me adequately dressed for the unpredictable temperament of the sun these days, as well as the in and out of buildings degree fluctuations.

Ivory-hued swiss dot dresses are still on hold for the time being, but at least I can let my tootsies breathe a bit in a new pair of sandals! Speaking of, I received these Vionic Sandals as part of the brand’s #solestory campaign, and am enjoying the stability and support, so that I can just continue doing my thing, not having to worry about doing a “shoe change” at some point my day to relieve foot pain.

I’m off to Texas for a long weekend in a few weeks, which will certainly be sandal-ville 24/7, but in the meanwhile, I am hoping that NYC experiences a prolonged heat wave soon!
