Split-Shaft Suede Booties & Denim Jacket with Laces (& Link Up!)

August 3, 2017

With fall approaching, it’s time to think about boots and jackets … but boots and jackets that you can wear now too!

 Shein sent me this jacket.  All opinions are my own as always.

The Booties

Okay, so these Vince Camuto Split Shaft Suede Booties are just the bomb.  So cute and comfortable and on trend!  They’re part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale right now, but don’t forget this is the last week to get the deals (prices go up August 7th).  These booties come in this pretty gray, as well as black and a taupe shade (all perfect neutrals). I’m sure to be wearing these closet staples all fall with jeans, pants, skirts, and dresses!

 

The Jacket

This denim jacket with the lace up detail is such a fun update on the basic jean jacket!  The laces are black velvet and can be laced so that the ends hang out or tuck in. And if you’re feeling really creative, a trip to the fabric store will give you all sorts of possibilities for switching it up, right?  What do you think of plaid laces?!

Anyone else getting ready for back-to-school already?  Teachers? Parents?  My high school starts next week and I’m starting to have that back-to-school freakout that every teacher knows so well, complete with nightmares of uncontrollable children!

But at least I sure had a fun adventure last week.  Did you read about my trip to Pala Resort for the blogger event?

    I, too, am loving Kellyann’s shirt! And your outfit is just darling, Dawn Lucy, with a little touch of badass! The lace up jacket is super cool and of course, the booties are just fab!
    I am ready to send the kids back to school, but we still have 5 weeks until school is back!

    Thank you so much Dawn Lucy for liking my outfit! I couldn’t resist the graphic tee because the saying is just pure gold and I know my elementary school students will love it too. You’re a doll and I am so flattered I captured your attention.
    I am seriously loving your shoes – every time you wear them I swoon!!!!

    That’s such a fun denim jacket! And how fun would it be to switch up the laces… And the booties are beyond fabulous! I know the heel is too high for me; otherwise, I would be totally copying you…

    Thanks for the link up & have a fabulous weekend before you go back to teaching…

    Love that tee. I especially like it because is just says “mascara and coffee”. Two things I love but not the only things, and definitely not the only things I need. haha! 😉 I love this whole look and would feel like a million bucks in it! Thank you for hosting!

  • Reply Cheryl Tucker August 4, 2017 at 5:35 am

    I love everything about this outfit. I have been drooling over those boots for a while too. Peace!

    Oooh…your new Vince Camuto suede booties have me drooling all over my laptop, dearest Dawn!! And the lace-up sleeves of this denim jacket are proof that unique details can totally MAKE a look!! Hope you have something awesome planned for your last weekend of summer vacay; I’ll bet you can hardly believe that “back to school” season is right around the corner. Where oh where does the time go?? XOXO
