| My exact sleeveless tunic: here I'm wearing a size small | Obsessed with this option ($55) |  | This tunic has a cute Split back detail ($59) |
 |  J.Crew option & comes in 3 colors ($39) |  | My loafers + 4 colors options ($25) | 
| my exact Clare V. handbag | Leopard clutch + crossbody option ($40) | 

I am so excited to share this gem of a tunic with y'all! It makes transitioning your wardrobe for fall and winter so easy. First, it's long enough to wear with leggings or jeans. Second, it can be easily layered for colder months and looks great under a cardigan or jacket. Lastly, I found so many color options for this tunic and price point options too! 

Did you notice that I styled two different shoe options for this post? 
I know that I personally love to wear these mules with everything, but some of you may not. I wanted to style a more comfortable, casual shoe for my girls who aren't into heels. Not to mention, I have been wearing these loafers non-stop. I'm not kidding, non-stop. Loafers are going to be a big trend this season and I couldn't be more excited about it! I love the way they make any outfit feel a little more cozy while still looking put together. If you follow me on Snapchat (carolanna_b), you know I'm loafer obsessed. I have a couple pairs from Steve Madden that I love, you can find them here

sweater I'm wearing a size M | similar pull-over sweater here | leopard print cardigan | denim | similar saddle bag crossbody | my mule booties | I also just ordered these in canela brown suede |

If you haven't noticed from my last couple of blog posts, I'm well into transitioning my closet for fall. I've been sorting through all of my last season cardigans, jackets and sweaters and adding new pieces as I go. One of my biggest tips when getting ready for a new season is to sort through all the items you have from last year. I will sit down and go through it all and decide what I love and what I can loose. Sorting through my closet also helps me decide between the trendy pieces I want and what I actually need. 
Another thing I do when sorting through my closet is add notes on my phone. For example, the other day I was getting ready and I noticed all of my solid black tank tops are getting really thin and starting to look tattered. I don't know about y'all, but when I'm shopping the last thing I consider purchasing is basic essentials. However, If I look at my notes and have a reminder- I'm usually pretty good about purchasing the essential items I really need. 

The last tid-bid of advice I have to offer is in regards to color scheme. In my opinion, fall has one of the most flattering color schemes to work with. You can easily transition your entire wardrobe by adding a couple of fall-colored items to your closet. For example, throw in a camel-colored or cream cardigan, cognac booties, and a good pair of dark denim and you're good to go. Don't think to much into it, because really the season will be gone before you know it. 
Some of my favorite fall colors are deep olive tones, berry tones, creams, and camel. 
(also, leopard print anything...because my name is Carolanna and I have a problem)

Well, I'm off to Pinterest my life away & hopefully figure out how to decorate my teeny-tiny front porch for fall. #pumpkineverything #helpmepinterest #smallhouseproblems

Here's to another season!

| Cardigan - similar here & here | Distressed Boyfriend Denim | RM bag  (back in stock!) | Booties | 
I am obsessed with the long-cardigan trend. They are so comfy and flattering! I specifically love how they make almost anyone seem taller! I'm average height, (5'5) but wearing this cardigan makes me feel much taller. I strategically purchased this cardigan in a color that matches almost everything, so I could get away with wearing it over and over! I can wear this with black jeans and a grey tee or over a structured patterned blouse. Honestly, the styling options are endless. 

Also, I must admit- these may be the best booties I've ever purchased. 
(They are technically mules, but whatever.) Again, the color works with everything and the chunky heel makes these bad boy so comfortable. I wonder if I can convince Bravenec that I also need these in grey...? haha!

My life is about to get pretty hectic, but I'm excited for what's ahead. 
Speak of, 
I'm also in my last semester of school. 
I actually just applied for graduation, and I couldn't be anymore excited! 

I hope your week is off to a great start.
