Time for a moment of complete transparency: I hate pumpkin or pumpkin spice anything. In my unpopular opinion, it's completely overrated and, if we're being honest, sweet potato pie > pumpkin pie. I will admit that the only pumpkin spice item I like is this adorable striped top from H&M. This top comes in a few different colors, but I was immediately drawn to this one because this shade of vibrant orange is flat out gorgeous!

Fiending for Fall

As the title of this post suggests I am beyond ready for Fall to officially get here. This time of year always makes me eager for the days of cooler temps, changing foliage, and let's not forget about fall fashion! Until that time I'm loving the subtle transition the weather is having here in Virginia. It's still blazing hot during the day, but some mornings there's a slight feel of fall which prompted me to put together this gorgeous transitioning weather outfit! If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen this look before, but here it is with just a few slight modifications.

Engagement Rings with Anjolee

*This post is sponsored by Anjolee. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I have something I have to tell you guys...I have a wedding-themed Pinterest board. It's called Let's Get Married after that Jagged Edge song (really, really showing my age here) and it's filled with inspiration for tablescapes, flowers, and checklists for the big day. I don't normally obsess over it, but after I received this gorgeous engagement ring from Anjolee I couldn't stop adding things to it. If you follow me on Snapchat (trulyyoursa) you may have already seen a sneak peek of this ring and the amazing box that it comes in - it has a light inside for those intimate, nighttime proposals! Keep reading for an up close look at the ring I received from Anjolee!

Navy Blues

If you had to choose one neutral color to wear for the rest of your life, what would it be? Mine would be navy blue with black being a veryclose second. It might (or not) come as a shock that one of my favorite colors for any season is this particular shade of dark blue. This versatile yet simple shade has slowly taken over my closet the past few months, but I'm not complaining one bit. I love that I can pair this color with so many other shades for spring - Rose Quartz, Serenity, white, red, coral, gold, nude, neon pink - the possibilities are endless! One of my most favorite navy color combinations is with cognac and gold. The colors compliment each other so well and just has a preppy feel to it. I'll definitely be wearing (and posting) lots of navy blue looks this season. Keep reading to see my extremely casual take on one of my favorite colors!

Save vs Splurge - Puffer Vests

I've officially deemed Sundays as Save vs Splurge Sundays! That means a new Save vs Splurge post every Sunday PLUS a Truly My Way post!! If you couldn't tell about by the amount of exclamation points I'm super excited about all the new content coming to the blog. In fact, I'll be starting an awesome new series tomorrow so check back then to see what it is!

This week's Save vs Splurge is all about puffer vests! They provide just the right amount of extra warmth when you don't want to wear a jacket or coat. I love layering them over flannels, sweatshirts and long sleeve tees when I can't be bothered to decide on outerwear. I'll be comparing two great options, one from J. Crew Factory and the other from Old Navy. Keep reading to see my top pick!

Fall Vest Inspiration

Fall is officially the time of the vest! Puffer, fur, military, you name it and people have been pulling them out and layering them for the cooler temps. Here's a little vest inspo to help you guys (and myself) out this fall!

The infamous herringbone vest. - This vest is a classic and it wouldn't be fall without it! This classic herringbone vest goes with almost anything, but my favorite way to layer it is over a flannel or sweater. Throw on a statement necklace and you're out the door! The most popular version of this vest is from J. Crew Factory. This year they have it in Steely Gray and the more popular Black!

Keep it simple. - These can be layered over so many things - sweaters, sweatshirts, long sleeve tees, button ups, the list goes on and on! A basic quilted puffer vest is a great way to add a little extra warmth to an outfit. These can be found at J. Crew, J. Crew Factory and Old Navy (their quilted puffer vests are only $35!).

Add a pop of color! - Take a boring fall outfit and make it fun with a colorful puffer vest. Dress up an all black outfit with a vest in a vibrant shade of pink. There's so many colors to choose from. J. Crew Factory has two amazing shades called Dark Poppy and Neon Coral that are a must-have!

Warm up with fur. - Whether you're a fan of faux fur or the real thing, these vests are a great way to take any outfit from drab to rock star.  They're also super warm and cozy! The Topshop Lea vest is  the season's hottest version of this vest, but I also love this ombre faux fur version by Steve Madden. I've also lumped shearling vests into this category since they feature a version of fur on the inside. I love this faux shearling vest from Nordstrom!

Borrowed from the guys. - Military-inspired or utility vests are a great way to add a little masculinity to any fall ensemble. They come in all shades of olive green and who doesn't love all those pockets? A good one can be hard to find depending on how you want it to look. This military-style utility vest is currently on sale for under $60!

I hope you guys enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed looking at all the amazing photos of vest outfits on Pinterest! There's so many other vest options I didn't mention including blazer vests, waterfall sweater vests, fleece vests, the list goes on and on. Fall is definitely vest season! I have so many new ideas for ways to wear my vests this season and beyond. What's your favorite vest? Let me know in the comments below!
