Fall Essential: Leopard Flats

I just picked up these leopard flats over the weekend and am crazy about them. They were a bit of a splurge at $50, but they are so comfortable and they've been on my wish list for quite some time. That being said I thought I'd share some outfits for this fall that feature leopard flats to use for inspiration.

Here are some more leopard flat options, all at reasonable prices:

Sparkle and Lace

I am definitely not ready to put my shorts away. This last weekend I saw girls sporting vests, scarves and boots on Instagram at 64 degrees....this is what I wore that that same temperature. This outfit is inspired by Shanna, I just love the black with this lace cardigan, but I really wanted to wear these new shoes from Target. They were $12. I seriously want to wear them everyday. I also really wanted to wear this great new pendant necklace from chloe + isabel too. I wish I could say I went somewhere glamorous, but I wore it to go to Target, then the library and park with Grant. Yes, I was overdressed, but no, I didn't care. ;)

Today at school we are doing some testing in the morning and in the afternoon we are hosting our very own 7th grade Amazing Race. The kids are divided into team and we each have a mental and physical challenge they have to pass, first team home wins. It'll be a blast and I will be exhausted at 3:30.

Cobalt and Chevron

Today I decided pair my cobalt cardigan with my maxi dress from Kika. I wore this for church and was super comfortable the whole time, which is the best, in my opinion. I think I've also got ton more compliments on this dress than anything else recently, so that's fun too :) I'm seriously crazy about all the pieces I've gotten from Kika and the combination of quality and fit makes them a total winner in my opinion!

For $149 you get the "Hayden Faves Bag"too, which included this maxi dress plus four to five more pieces picked by the stylists specially for you. After adding the Hayden Faves Bag to your cart and you begin to check out, you can add comments in the "comment section" about what type of pieces you're looking for. I said I was looking for pieces to transition to fall and that I love prints and bold colors too. These details will help your stylist pick the perfect pieces just for you!

Radiant Orchid

This dress has been begging to be worn all summer, so I was excited to pull it out for school. I wore it with my denim jacket last time, so I decided to try it with a simple black cardigan this time. I really love this dress and plan to wear it like crazy until I put it away for fall.

I've been back to work for almost a month now. So crazy! It's really going pretty well and I'm really liking this group of kids. I've also been successfully getting up early and doing devotions too. I'm really loving She Reads Truth and her daily posts. It's amazing how my attitude is so much better all day when I start it on the right foot!

Ikat and Pinapples

School is going well and having Monday off was a nice treat. I was feeling the effects of being back to school full time last Friday, and Grant was super exhausted too. We took it pretty easy last weekend, which was really nice too. Today I decided to pair my pineapple print shirt with my ikat skirt. I haven't worn this skirt since school got out in May so I was excited to pull it out. I really wanted to wear it again today before it starts to cool down. I'm really not ready to put my summer clothes away yet!

I also have a super annoying cold, so flats and comfy clothes will be good today. What's a new scool year without a cold, right?

How Gorgeous

Recently my blogging friend Amy opened a super fun online shop called How Gorgeous. Amy has amazing style, so you can only imagine the fun pieces in her shop. I was super excited when she sent over the Isabel necklace. It' right up my alley, but unlike any other piece I already have. I decided to pair it with my Loft blazer and Gap dress that are favorites of mine for an outfit for school.

How Gorgeous pieces are all affordably priced and shipping is super cheap too. Make sure to check this shop out and I'm sharing a collage of some of my favorite pieces down below and take advantage of 15% off your order when you use the code "GORG15."
