Labor Day was unusually chilly here in Memphis.  I put on this little army jacket over a striped tank and white knit skirt.  It was so chilly I ended up putting on jeans later in the day.

Occasion:  Playing with the kids, working, grocery shopping.
Jacket:  24.99 Charming Charlie
Tank: 4.99 Forever 21
Skirt: 4.50 Target (clearance rack)
Shoes: Tory Burch on ebay $35

Mid-length Skirts by LOFT
Sandals by Tory Burch

Kelly B Recommends: Black Wedges

If you are looking for the GIVEAWAY, click here...

Everyone needs a great pair of black pumps in their closet.   Many of my friends and clients are uncomfortable wearing a high heel when they are dragging their kids around town.  Another option is a wedge heel.  They are a bit more sturdy and usually more comfortable. 
Here are some affordable recommendations for black wedges:

Style Diary: Running out of Time...

If you are looking for the GIVEAWAY, click here...

Since Labor Day is just a few days away, I felt like I was running out of time to wear this white linen romper.  It was a little revealing wear running errands around town with my son, so I added the gray cocoon cardigan.

Occasion:  Running around town with Knox
Cardigan:  $1.50 from Half of Half (love this new discovery, post coming soon.)
Linen Romper: $12.99 from Ross
Light brown wedges: $14.99 Marshalls

Giveaway!

Recently, I had the honor of helping the lovely Chrissy of Kidstation with a wardrobe consultation.  We had a great time getting to know each other and putting together some new looks from items that were in her closet.
Here is a picture of her in one of the fall looks that we picked out.

 We layered a cute floral summer shirt with a little cardigan and black flat boots to take it into the fall. 

Now, for the giveaway.  I will chose one winner to receive a wardrobe consultation (up to 2 hours).  To enter, subscribe to my emails (box on the right hand side).  For another entry, like Kelly B Style on facebook.  If you already like me on Facebook, just leave a comment below telling me that.  Winner will be chosen on Thursday, September 8th.  Do not enter unless you live in the greater Memphis area (Memphis, Cordova, Germantown, Bartlett, Collierville, Millington, Southaven, Olive Branch, etc...).  If you are looking for a wonderful place to drop your kids while you have a wardrobe consultation, or any other reason, I would highly recommend  Kidstation.   While you are there ask Chrissy about her experience!  She was a GREAT client.
