Happy Tuesday, friends, and welcome back to a new week! Are you still in the back-to-school whirlwind? Dropped a little bird at college? Or still living in your best Summer bubble?
I was talking to my friend whose son started high school last week, and he has to be at school before 6am for sports practice! I realized right then that’s one of the silver linings of college years… no more before-dawn wake up calls! I still get up early (I do have a job!), but not that early.
So while I miss seeing Sloan’s sleepy face at the breakfast table, I don’t miss those absurdly early mornings! How about you?
With school back in session, Fall is not far behind. Well, sort of. Let’s just say, thinking and dreaming about Fall is not far behind. Texas still has a solid 6+ weeks of summer… which I’m not mad about, you know I’m a summer-forever kind of girl!
But now is when I start thinking about styles that work for both now and later, to make transitioning to a new season easier, and more fun. And there’s no easier way than a fun statement top, paired with your fave denim. I’ll wear them now with sandals, and transition to loafers and booties later.
Avara always delivers with the cutest statement tops that don’t break the bank, here are a few they just launched that I’m loving. And first time shoppers can save 15% with code CASSIE15!
