~ How are you all!? I KNOW it’s about time to start giving some love to fall wardrobes…but…it’s been a little difficult to think about fall layers during this blessed endless summer weather we’ve been having! This fall, I am ALL about EASE. While I would LIKE to say that I feel totally settled in to life in Columbus, the truth is that I still feel like I’m in a season of adjustment and oddly feel overwhelmed by the littlest of things. Therefore…when it comes to my fall wardrobe, the theme is “if it’s easy, it’s in!” and this easy striped cotton dress totally fit the bill!

I SO long for a Simplified Life just like Emily Ley’s…one filled with organized planners with clean handwriting, a simplified apartment with minimal things and only a few items in my closet, where everything is organized and labeled and aesthetically pleasing. I will ALWAYS strive for that life, as I know everything feels more put together when you live like that, but the reality of my life is that I am a MORE IS MORE creative who simply just EXPLODES accessories and clothes and makeup wherever I go (so sorry to everyone that has ever travelled with me…). I mean…I TRY, so that has to count for something, right?

While I haven’t been making major leaps and strides in the area of home and personal life organization, it seems my creative eye for my own closet has taken a shift to the simple and easy for fall (TG). I found the classic chunky beautifully weaved wool sweater that I’ve been looking for for about 5 years and KNEW it was SIMPLE and simply perfect at the same time. That’s how I felt when I spotted this cotton swing dress online for only $35. I knew I could travel in it and throw it on for any occasion and make it work!

What are you searching for this fall? Is it the perfect riding boot or a classic waxed jacket?! LMK so I can be on the hunt! Oh also, check out these easy fall striped dresses below (I’m getting the sense that we could all use a bit more ease heading into this fall season)!

Gratefully with love,
