ttF Fashion Staples Month #8 Summary: August Jet Set
August literally flew by. I can’t believe the summer is over! My August staples were so incredibly versatile. Wearing my Forever 21 necklace six times reaffirmed that you don’t need to spend beaucoup bucks to look like a million bucks. I can’t event count how many compliments I received from that single strand of lucite! Of course, I had to superglue the beads a few times but you do get what you pay for. I also learned that I feel the need to pair white with blue. Or maybe I just still was feeling July‘s color palette.

Here’s the breakdown for August…

1. Lucite Necklace, Times Worn this Month: 6

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Beaded Bliss
I wanted to end August with a bang… a beaded bang. I bought this embellished turtleneck at Shareen Vintage. It used to be a gown, but the brilliant Shareen turned it into a much more practical top with a gorgeous scalloped hem. The soft grays and blues work perfectly with dark denim, which makes the dressy top casual enough for a sushi dinner. But since it’s the last outfit in this month’s staples series, I decided I might as well sparkle. So I added beads on my wrist and feet.

Check back later to see how I wore all six of my August staples six different ways each!

I’ve worn this khaki dress many different ways. But today, I wanted to show how you can wear rhinestones to the office, so I used the casual poplin material to downplay the sparkles on my feet. I think of these chain shoes like jewelry. And it’s always fine to sparkle a little at work. Now I said a little. Any more jewelry would have been overload, so I used the chain print on this silk scarf instead of a necklace. Between the khaki and the way I tied the scarf, I felt a little girl scout on top. But the silver and bling guaranteed I didn’t look like I was going door to door with Thin Mints.

Part of the fun about Emmys is all the pampering that goes on beforehand. I’m spending most of the weekend in San Diego. But before I headed down, I did a little indulging at Byron & Tracey Salon’s Beauty Bar. A couple of weeks ago I tried adding an auburn tint to my hair. I haven’t been crazy about it. So Dani fixed it by doing a caramel wash and natural looking balayage highlights. I’m thrilled with the way it turned out. I guess I’m just not meant to be a readhead.

After getting a blowout with Tomas again, I ran into Charlotte Ronson, who was there promoting her I Heart Ronson for JC Penney line. She complimented my dress. I told her about Shareen Vintage, where I bought the start print piece. And then we chatted quickly about fashion week. I love how the designer makes her show a family affair by always having a big dinner with her parents and siblings. I can’t wait to see her collection on the runway in New York!

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Livening Up Gray
I’ve mentioned before how important it is for a pencil skirt to have a little stretch to it. This one does not. But I love it so much I continue to wear it, despite the fact that sitting down and walking on any stairs is quite difficult. Since my bottom was so restricting, I kept it looser on top by unbuttoning my shirt and layering a cami that matched the skirt underneath. A turquoise necklace added a pop of color. And since I was feeling particularly festive today, I even added another color on my hands. While I prefer yellow with turquoise, the orange brought me be back to my childhood watching the Miami Dolphins at Joe Robbie Stadium.
