You guys might think I'm crazy but in my last month of pregnancy, I just felt like I was in such an outfit rut. I felt like I was wearing the same 6 dresses on rotation to work. The few non-maternity dresses that I had in my closet before I got pregnant no longer fit me and were all way too short with the bump. And it's just been too hot for jeans. But I didn't really want to spend any more money on maternity clothes with only 4-5 weeks to go. Although I really wanted tank dresses to stay cool in this heat wave that I could dress up or down. And thankfully Old Navy came to the rescue! I found 3 dresses (2 maternity and 1 body con non-maternity) that were all under $20! So my husband couldn't yell at me! Hah! This dress is currently only $15.99!! You're practically losing money by not getting it! :) I actually wish I would have gone to Old Navy earlier in my pregnancy, they really do have some great basics for super cheap!

Mixing textures is a really fun way to update your look. I am loving the combination of wool and leather for fall! The wool softens the edgier, dressy feel of leather. And I like how the sexier, fitted leather top contrasts with the girlie, bell shape of the bottom (which is super flattering ladies!). This is faux leather by the way but doesn't it look real!? (Another reason why I'm obsessed with Zara! This gem is only $79 which I think is a steal for the quality of the material). You'll also notice that I'm mixing textures with my heels which are a combination of leather and suede.

I wore this sleeveless dress in Florida which was appropriate for the warm weather but still felt perfect for fall with the color and fabric. Olive green is big this season and pairs really well with grey, brown and light denim. To brighten up the look, I added a hot pink lip which I think is a nice pop with the dress's darker shade. This is a great day-to-night dress taking you from the office to a hot date!

Styling Tip: For cooler temperatures, try layering with a jean jacket or a cropped grey sweater that hits right at the waistline.
