First up- this tan maxi skirt. I've been wanting one for a while now, preferably with stripes, but when I found this for $9, it's hard to resist.

The best thing about maxi skirts is you feel like you're wearing pajamas, but you look nice. I wear them when I know I'm going to be in the office from morning til the wee morning. I almost just wore a t-shirt with this, but I was literally so comfortable, I felt weird about it... even though it looked great.
This baby is going to take me well into fall and could really work year-round. Tan is great like that.
I think I just discovered a new thing I want to start doing! And there are even a few ways for YOU to get involved!
There are several things in my closet that are my own staples that I try and figure out different ways to wear them every day... and then there are also outfits where I can't figure out which accessories or something works best... so now I'm just going to ask you!
It started with this gray military jacket I dusted off from my closet. I used to wear it all the time [as you see in the header pic up there] even though it was uncomfortable. I tried it out again, and it fit way better than before! Now I can wear it buttoned up, which I never even considered before.
So... it's a simple change, but what do you think works best?
I've been obsessed with striped tanks for a while now because they're the easiest way to add a little something under jackets, cardigans, etc... plus they're the easiest pattern to mix-n-match with! This tank would be worn every day if it was acceptable.
Recently, I wore it around Philly with my favorite green jacket and tan boots, and again for an artist interview/performance with a pink blazer and booties. [I'm not sure if the cut of the neck droops with the pink because I wasn't wearing a tank underneath or it was stretched out.. woops.]
With these, I feel like they're so different it's not really about picking one or the other... right?!
And finally, I've been trying to pair up a scarf and blazer for a while, but for whatever reason I always think it looks way better on other people. When I posted an intoxicated selfie asking for opinions, everyone loved the final option. I tried two other accessories first, though- A coral bubble necklace and black chandelier earrings.
My idea for getting YOU involved is simple! If you ever have a hard time deciding on something with an outfit, send it to me, and we'll help you out! We're all friends here. We won't bite unless you deserve it. Just tweet or Instagram a pic and tag me [@luvelizabethany] or email it to me!
I'll also try to reach out to some of the WYWW regulars to do this soon.
love,
elizabethany

It's definitely not my favorite month of new stuff from her, but you know she can make anything look awesome.
This dress is totally gorgeous and I love it for Thanksgiving or holidays.. with a jacket of course.
Bows! I'm tellin' ya.. I'm diggin these everywhere.
This dress is presh, but like.... winter?
Minus the shoes, finally something we can wear in the winter on the East Coast... and I won't even be mad about all the light colors.
When it comes to her clothes, as much as I love seeing the new stuff every month, I've learned to be patient and keep my eyes on Kohls.com. A lot of her stuff ends up in Clearance and that's when I scoop it.
I'm in love with this whole "get a peek at the new collection every month" thing. It's gonna do damage to my wallet, but whatever.
Here's the latest from our BFF LC.
Monochromed navy? Not mad at it.
These look a little shiny, no? I'm intrigued, and I want.
Note to self: Jump in the air when taking the next outfit photos.
This is how you wear shorts in the fall! In love.
Okay these little chest embellishment shirts could become my new obsession. How easy and cute is that?!
BOWS. ARE. BACK. And couldn't be more adorable. Glad I saved all of mine from high school!
There's a whole lotta navy blue going on, but it matches everything, so who's complaining?! It's time for me to keep a close eye on the sale section at Kohls.com and wait for some of these babies to be in my price range.
Also... I would tell you that there's a giveaway on her blog right now... but like... that'd lessen my chances of winning.
Most of last week was spent working on the beach, so I didn't really have to get dressed much beyond Wednesday, but here's what I had on the first half of the week!
This is quite possibly the easiest outfit I've put up, and it's obvious.
I finally got a denim vest that [mostly] fits and I went a little happy with it last week. Since it's similar in color to my mint jeans, I wanted something super contrasting underneath. Enter one of my favorite color combos of the season: Coral and mint/turquoise.
-denim vest c/o Kohl's
-tank from Forever21 $3
-mint jeans from Target $12
-necklace from Charlotte Russe $5
-bracelets from ipsy, Charlotte Russe, and a listener
