It was 36 degrees Sunday morning but into the 70s by early afternoon. Those days always stump me as to what to wear. The answer is of course, layers. And you can bet a layer got peeled off that afternoon. I also wasn't feeling very creative, so I pulled some very basic pieces and put them together. It's amazing that basics with a few accessories always create an outfit that is beyond basic.

Buffalo plaid and stripes

I consider a buffalo plaid a must have for fall/winter. It's also a piece that will be a classic and stick around. Those are the reasons I promptly went to Old Navy and purchased myself a brand new plaid shirt this week, (using rewards so I didn't pay much). I received one last Christmas as a gift and wore it a couple of times last winter, but the fit was not quite right. I tried to wear it again last weekend and decided that an ill fitting shirt would not do. The old one will get posted in my Poshmark closet.

This one will get worn regularly if the temps will stay down. After a chilly morning, Tuesday afternoon was 80 degrees, so most of the day this shirt was worn tied around my waist as shown in the last pick.

Embellished

 

Sweatshirt/shoes- Old Navy (option) (option);shoe- option 

jeans- Levis

Worn Oct. 25, 2013

 

An embellished sweatshirt and a pair of pointed toe flats were on my "must have trends" list so I snatched up these with my Gap card rewards last month. Sweatshirts had been relegated to just around the house but no more. With cute embellishments, they become outfit worthy.

I saw a similar look to this in a magazine a while back and had been waiting for the weather to cool enough to wear these pieces. I cannot find the inspiration outfit online and spent way too much time looking. Maybe I'll come across the actual magazine one day but I have been sending them to recycle since I'm trying to keep less clutter and I have most editions on my Nook. Speaking of such, how do you prefer to read your fashion magazines? Hard copy or digital?
