I absolutely fell in love with this dress after mentioning it in Saturday’s “Weekend Reading.” There’s just something about that cheeky monkey print that captured my fancy and, well, my money. I placed an order for it the next morning and I can’t wait for it to arrive so that I can try it in person. The key to pulling it off will be keeping the rest of the outfit sophisticated so that I’m not veering into crazy old lady territory. 😉 It also comes in emerald and black for those of you who don’t want to rock regal apes!

August is such a weird month for shopping. I’m terribly excited about all knits and woolens, but I don’t want the warm weather to go away! I find myself scooping up deeply discounted dresses to wear these last weeks of summer (just ordered this one to try), while wish-listing beautiful fall items that are out of my price range (like this gorgeous coat). What I really need to do this month is cut myself off so that I can splurge in September on a piece I’ll wear throughout the season and well into winter.

I can’t believe it’s already August! With the house purchase and move, I feel like I haven’t been taking enough time to enjoy my favorite season — and it’s even harder to relish these last summer days with the temptation to shop for fall pieces! (I’m looking at you, Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.) So, you’ll have to bear with me as I daydream about transitional items to bring my closet into autumn. Topping my wish list is this cropped jacket from J.Crew. It looks like such a cute piece to throw on with jeans or a fit-and-flare skirt and sneakers over the weekend.
