Add yellow to the list of colors that I thought that I would never wear. And yes, there are shades that aren’t for me. However, lately, I can’t help but be attracted to it! I don’t know if it’s the sunny aspects, or the unexpectedness of it–but I can’t’ get enough. Especially when it’s in the shape of this stunning, vintage La Perla corset. The pleating alone is enough to make me swoon. Yet, I wasn’t sure what to pair with it (I don’t shy away from lingerie in public but want it really flow). My solution? Wear it under a turtleneck. I love the juxtatiposition, it was the perfect fall outfit! And socks with sandals! Loves, I have a thing for socks with peep toes –seen as early as here (yes, that’s one of my very first posts!)

That’s how we’re dealing with Wednesday loves!

It finally feels like fall–which is deserving of a celebration in and of itself! And how I’m celebrating? Fall details, like these fur poms on my shoes! The deal? These are little clips that can go on any shoe (or bag or anything!) that add a little pop, and is very much on trend. What I love is that they make any shoe a new shoe–and I love the fur detail! Paired with destroyed jeans and a simple sweater, and a stunning vintage Gucci bag, I think it’s a great welcome to fall! What are your favorite fall details?

As much as I love styling, I sometimes let my mom in on the fun; so this is mom’s pick. If you follow me on Instagram (and please do @racheladelicia) you know that my mom helped me pick out this little number for my pop-up at Beehive Ft Worth! And while green isn’t a go-to color for me, I have to say we were both drawn to this dress and these shoes! I love the wrap and pleat detail on the dress, it’s universally flattering and looks just as great with flats as it does heels. And these heels! I love the vintage feel of them (t-strap and all)! Yes, they are both green, but almost come off as neutral–I’ve worn the shoes with pinks, reds, metallics, and your standard neutrals. Great job Mom!

One of the biggest “looks” this season is a dress over jeans, and I love it! As a tall girl this is an old trick I’ve used to get away with mini-dresses that are just on the edge of being too short. It’s a great way to get away with wearing something short (although loves, this look also looks great with longer skirts and dresses, trust me, please and try it!) and it’s a fresh way to get a new look out of your pieces! Because Fall is taking it’s time (though it is coming) I love the look of a sleeve less fall dress (wool, checked, perfection–this actually came with a belt and I also can’t wait to wear this dress with its belt and flat boots!) over cropped jeans with ankle booties. It’s fall-like, it’s fresh, and it’s fun! So, would you try this look?

And onto fashion:

Ballet was one of my first loves and to this day I can’t resist dressing like a ballerina–ballet pink, tutu like skirts, leotards. You name it, I’m in. But I also like a little edge (see here). So when the chance appeared to shoot a sweet ballet-pink outfit in a construction zone I took it (I just love juxatipositons)! I also love how this skirt is a bit sheer, and how the leotard shows just enough of a back; meaning that it’s sweet but no one aspect is too sweet. The lace up shoes just add to my ballet fantasy. And yet, I don’t feel like a little girl playing dress up! I’m a woman playing dress up, and that’s oh-so-much-better!

Happy Monday! XO RA

We know I love any and all things Gucci so when I found this Gucci-like top at Beehive (which we know I also love, read about them here) I knew I had to have it. I love the semi-sheer, the floral, the tie. I love the nod it gives to Gucci, and yet love it with simple jeans and mules (yes, it would look great more dressed up as well, as well as layered under sweaters). A note about the mules–super comfy and they go with everything! It’s the perfect combo for the beginning of fall, and on Mondays I can’t think of anything better than easy and perfect!
