30 x 30: Day 3






utility jacket: patterson kincaid | dress: cotton on (similar) | glitter loafers: target (similar)

Though we're safely in Alabama and starting the move-in process by the time this post goes live, I technically started my 30x30 challenge towards the end of September just in case I needed a few buffer days (read: if I was too busy unpacking boxes in my sweats to shoot a day or two). 

This outfit is brought to you by our first roadtrip day: Gainesville to Atlanta! After saying goodbye to little bit and sending her off to Grandma's house, Mr. Jackson and I hopped in the car and set out for ATL. We had an easy day on the road and an AMAZING night in the city. I'm talkin' room service, fluffy hotel robes and breakfast in bed the next morning... I could really get used to this moving thing.

Planning this challenge to coincide with living out of a suitcase may have been the most brilliant plan I've ever had. The next 27 days will tell!

30 x 30: Day 1






denim jacket: forever 21 | peplum: forever 21 (loving this one) | olive skinnies: forever 21 (similar) | boots: hunter | necklace: southern charm apparel | bracelet: j crew


With a constant drizzle falling during our last few days in Florida (is the sunshine state sad to see us go?!) it's the perfect opportunity to start playing with layers. I added a few essential jackets to my thirty pieces (this denim version, a leather moto jacket and my trusty anorak) and I'm so glad I did! I can definitely pair them with EVERYTHING for the next month.

One trend I'm happy to convert to "classic" status? The peplum! I find peplums incredibly flattering and as long as the colors are neutral and the shapes are tailored you'll be able to find them hanging in my closet for a while...

p.s. It's officially time for Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Caramel Apple Spices. Thank God!
