well, our get together to welcome in the new season was this weekend and it went swimmingly. i got every little project and diy detail done and out before our guests actually got there (usually a miracle). i will be sharing all of the details tomorrow on party decor and treats, but today i wanted to give you a peek at, what i think, is/was the perfect get up for a backyard bash as we transition into fall. saturday felt like summer, i think it ended up being 92, but i put that sweater ( from jcrew

) on anyways because i was determined to wear it. i paired it with the comfiest cut-offs and a plain white tee to layer. black flat boots (i shared them here) were the final touch. these boots are lifesavers for hostesses. comfy and adorable.

i skipped the usual jewel necklace and went for simple rings and bracelets. i just picked up a few of these midi rings from serendipity.koh on etsy and have worn them every day since they arrived. love them.

what is your go to outfit for entertaining? do you keep it simple or go all out even when you are playing hostess? check back tomorrow for more party details!
