Happy Tuesday dolls!!
I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! I spent mine working (that RN life ya know ;)), but Friday night my man took me out to dinner at our fave Italian restaurant in town, Tony's! (seriously, if you ever visit Chattanooga you should check it out. It is in the Bluff View Art District which has the CUTEST little restaurants/coffee shops & offers a gorgeous view of the TN river and downtown Chatt---ok, shameless promotion of my city is over ;) lol). Before we went out to dinner Friday, I did some grocery shopping @ Target, and just so happened to find THE CUTEST BLANKET SCARF EVER, for only $7!!! I have tried to find it on their website but to no avail; I'm thinking because it was in with the Target Dollar Spot section (which is not online). Nonetheless, I picked up the scarf I'm wearing in the pictures above & another gray/black one---2 blanket scarves for $14. What a steal! AND, besides being super cute, they are also SUPER soft...like I'm talking, they feel like they cost a lot more than only $7! So next time you go to get "groceries" at Target, check out the Dollar Spot Section to see if these scarves are in stock!
Also, can we talk about these jeans?! I had been on the hunt for some black ripped denim, and fell in LOVE with these when I tried them on in Nordstrom. They are super comfortable and not to mention super cute. I have an obsession with ripped denim (I promise you this won't be the only time you see me wearing it on the blog). I love how unexpected it is...it just adds a sort of edginess to any outfit (& let's face it, anyone who knows me knows I'm anything BUT edgy, so anytime I can add a bit of "edginess" to my look, I'm all in!). And I loved the way they went with my leopard heels. Leopard is a neutral in my book, so I thought the shoes tied in perfectly with the scarf! ;)
Thanks so much for reading dolls. I appreciate each & every one of you!

Happy Tuesday dolls!
A fur vest has always been and always will be one of my FAVORITE wardrobe staples for the fall/winter. I love that it adds instant glam to a casual outfit (as I've paired it with jeans and a black top above), or can even be paired with a dress & heels for an even MORE glam look! It makes a statement on its own which I LOVE. I wore the above outfit when my fiancé took me out to dinner last night for our 2 year anniversary---and he also took these photos for me, thanks honey!! :) The fur vest also adds just the right amount of warmth. The temps here in Tennessee aren't super "fall-y" yet (Is that even a word?) but I am willing fall to come by dressing like it's already here (just a couple of days ago, I'm wearing a scarf & it's probably 80 degrees, my man says to me "why are you wearing a scarf?!" well darling, it's because I love fall fashion, and it's October....so....it's obligatory (even if it's hot & does not make much logical sense! haha))
Anyway, the fur vest I'm wearing above is from H&M. H&M has always been one of my favorite stores for YEARS. Their clothes are very fashion-forward, reasonably priced, and (for the most part) are good quality (this vest is definitely in the "good quality" category). Be sure to check out the link with the outfit details listed above for this vest--it's on sale now for half price if you've been looking for the perfect fur vest!
The top I'm wearing above is also one of my FAVORITES by Piko. They are sold a lot in the cute little boutiques around town, but when linking the tunic I'm wearing above, I found out that they now have an online store & you can order directly from them! (Last time when I blogged about Piko, their clothes weren't online yet and were only available through local boutiques). I absolutely LOVE their clothes. They make amazing tunics that are perfect for layering and are not only stylish but comfy (bonus!).
Finally, the jeans I'm wearing are some of my favorites from Old Navy. I may or may not have about 3 pairs of them. I'm on the short side (5'3"), so I often have trouble finding jeans that are the appropriate length. These just so happen to come in petite, regular, & tall sizes! Absolutely perfect no matter your height.
What are your wardrobe staples this fall!? Leave me a comment below and let me know your thoughts :) Also, be sure to check out my social media links at the top of my page to follow Ashley's Passion for Fashion on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook & Pinterest.

Totes Crushing on Draper James!
October 9, 2016
{Outfit Details}
Handbag: Draper James (here, edit for October 10th, today only, use code "TOTESPEARLS" for 30% off all handbags on their website!)
Boots: Corral (here)
Necklace: J. Crew Factory (here, currently on sale for 50% off, only $24.50!)
Bracelet: J. Crew Factory (very similar here, on sale for $16)
The Draper James flagship store in Nashville just celebrated its 1-year anniversary last week, so naturally I had to stop by and take some #ootd pictures when I was in Nashville for school last week (maybe one of these days when I go I will just so happen to get to meet Reese--aka Elle Woods---herself!). The dress I'm wearing above is not Draper James but it is one of my favorites I bought from H&M. Long-sleeve dresses for fall are a closet-staple because they can be paired with boots to dress them down or heels to instantly dress them up. And, speaking of boots...who doesn't go to Nashville without their cowgirl/cowboy boots?! Seriously though, these Corral boots are my obsession when it comes to cowgirl boots. I bought them for my bestie's wedding's last year (all the bridesmaids wore cowgirl boots-too cute!), and I have worn them countless times since. Corral makes some of THE cutest boots that are unique (with rhinestones, etching, beautiful designs etc) that they are truly like wearing a pair of artwork :).
Check out some of the Draper James items on my wish-list: Sugar Darlin' Flippa Bag, Tailgate Sweater, Sweetie Pie Tee, and Ryman Jacket.
Thanks so much for reading dolls! Be sure to leave me a comment & tell me what your favorite item from her line is!

{A Casual Stroll in the Park}

Today I'm sharing with you one of my go-to looks for fall. I have spent most of this week in Nashville for school, and one night my Mom & I decided to take a stroll in Centennial Park & take pictures for the blog....errrr I mean, take a stroll ;). It really is beautiful here!!
This time of year can be hard to dress for in the South. Usually the temps are super chilly in the morning but by the late afternoon the temps can climb into the 80's! The key to dressing for this type of weather is layers! I absolutely LOVE Old Navy's boyfriend t-shirts (which I am wearing above). I always size-up so I can wear them off-the-shoulder. I seriously have them in a few colors--I stocked up last year in black/white/gray/patterned. They are also SUPER cute with jeans & a scarf. So, in the AM it's a cardigan but by afternoon the cardigan can go and it's time to rock the t-shirt :)
I have been obsessed with fall hats ever since they first became a trend for fall a few years ago (check out how I've worn the fall hat on APFF before HERE). They add such a unique twist of style to an outfit, and not to mention, they can cover your roots when you need a touch-up (yes, I need to get my roots done again ASAP, and no, I'm not a natural blonde!! ::insert Dolly Parton joke about being blonde: "I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb, and I also know that I'm not blonde": Dolly said it best, per the usual!). Anyway, I digress. So, yes I need to get my roots done, no I'm not a natural blonde, and YES I love fall hats!! This one I'm wearing in my #OOTD is from Target. Target seriously always scores in the fashion department, especially with accessories. Guilty as charged for going into Target for "just a few groceries" and leaving with just a few fall accessories. Oops.... ;) girl problems I guess!
So what are your favorite fall accessories? Leave me a comment and tell me more! :) Thank you SO much for reading y'all!

Fall Wish List: Lace-Up Flats & Heels
October 5, 2016
Hi dolls! So one of my favorite trends for this fall are lace-up flats & heels. I am in the market for a pair and so obviously I had to start searching online. While the Sam Edelman heel is BEAUTIFUL, I found a pretty close dupe by Aldo Fredola from DSW (here). Also, I love the neutral flats by Steve Madden, but the Old Navy pair would also add a great pop of color to an outfit (and they are only around $27!!). I'm excited to add a pair of lace-up flats/heels to my wardrobe to wear with jeans but also with dresses this fall!
Thanks for reading dolls, and happy shopping!!!
XOXO,
Ashley
