Fashion Files – First of September! – Coffee and Cocktails at the Casa

Tuesday, September 1, 2026

It’s September! We all get excited and then realize we still need to wear our summer clothes for quite a bit longer! Anyway,,.we’re here together today and we have hope for a time when a sweater is needed again, don’t we?

I wear a lot of t-shirts and shorts for my gym trips, dog walks, and even the hot errands I run. This girl is tired of her legs sticking to seats, but she also has to wear shorts because it’s hot.

Last week I attended a bourbon talk with my friend Elizabeth. It was very hot and she would be coming from work in her professional girl outfit so I dressed up in this dress I bought last spring with my jelly purse and my brown wedges. The dress is by Umgee which is one of my favorite boutique brands.

Sure enough, she was in a silky shell, slacks, and pumps. Office attire. I bet she had a blazer in her car.

This was my favorite outfit of the week. I wore this to go to the library and to lunch with my son. These are my white Target linen pants and my navy Old Navy blouse.

This was what I wore Saturday night to an outdoor concert. I have on my Old Navy linen shorts that are quite old with the above navy Old Navy blouse again.

Kellyann has been talking about her Cicy Bell jeans from Amazon that are probably exactly like my Halaras that I adore. I love the stripe down the side so much. I want to order the gray, but I am worried they will be way too long, and I don’t feel like hemming. I should probably just order and see since returns are so easy, no? Would you all enable my shopping please? And why don’t all retailers offer short length? We are not all glamazon Barbies, ok?

My social media showed me this button up and look at the back! I ordered it! I will let you know what I think.

And, I am still here waiting for my Target order of this blouse in black and white…omg my Target shipping orders take soooooo long. It was not available in stores by the way.
