Introductions and a Fall Maxi

Hey guys!  

Thanks for checking out the very first Moda & the Mar post!  Honestly, this is something I have been dreaming of for a few months now. I have loved sharing my outfits and inspirations via Instagram, and I love the blogging community I have found while doing it.  So, thanks to the push of a very dear friend and the talents and patience of Shannon , I have made this a reality. By the way, if you are in need of web design please contact Shannon Page Designs. She is amazing and so lovely to work with!

I am really awkward with introductions. So, I'm just going to jump into this post as if you were all my best gals joining me on the couch for a glass of wine. If you feel you need to know more about me before getting cozy, feel free to check out my About Me section or send me an email!  

Minus a few days of cold temps {two days in the 50s} it has still been pretty warm here in Eastern NC. It makes it tricky to get dressed for work to be comfortable and still look fall appro. One of my go-to solutions is throwing a blazer or jacket over a summer dress. This maxi from Le Tote was perfect for this!  I am still loving the window pane print for this season, and I immediately knew I wanted to pair my leather jacket with it. I think the jacket makes the dress look more pumpkin spice and less margarita on the beach. If you follow me on Instagram you know I am a huge fan of Le Tote's services. Unlimited fashion for $50/month. Genius. If you want to know more about how it works, send me an email or check them out here  I kept the jewels neutral with my favorite new baubles from the adorable duo of Reece & Blaire and this edgy necklace from one of my favorites - Mint Sugar Boutique. 

How do you handle the warmer fall temps?  
Thanks for reading! Have a fabulous weekend!
