Back in Hoosier land, this was a perfectly appropriate mid-September outfit. But as I sit here in my oceanfront beach house for the week (go ahead, be jealous), I feel like I look oddly overdressed in these photos.

Over the next few days on the blog, you can expect to see a mix of me looking very clean and put together (outfits I wore back home, pre-vacation) and me looking sweaty and sunburned but happy (outfits I’m wearing at the beach). If you want more vacation details, you can follow me on Instagram!

Am I excited for fall? Totally. But will I take full advantage of this last morsel of summer? You bet your watermelon cocktail I will.

Here’s how a recent conversation went in Ann Taylor:

Me: “I can pull off a neck scarf, right?”

K: “Can I pull off a neck scarf?”

Me: “Be serious. Can I wear this?”

K: “Why is it called a neck scarf? Don’t all scarves go around your neck?”

Suffice it to say I never got a straight answer on whether I looked cool with a piece of silk tied around my neck. So naturally I bought it and wore it and here we are. What’s the verdict? (This is mostly a rhetorical question because I’ve already decided I look awesome.)
