What's more comfortable for running errands on a Sunday afternoon that boyfriend jeans and a cozy lightweight  sweater?  Maybe your pajamas or sweats or workout clothes, but folks, that's not an outfit. It really bugs me to see women in the grocery store in work out clothes when they obviously haven't worked out in a couple of years and they are not on their way to or from the gym. Regardless of your size, there are better ways to dress yourself.  Rant over.

 

 I almost returned this sweater because it's slightly oversized with a curved hem and I really need one that's more professional so I can wear it to work and get more wear out of it. But this one was so comfy, I decided to keep it.

There's something so chic about jeans and a blazer and with boyfriend jeans and a blazer it's comfy chic. I sometimes wish I had a different job because I would rock this look more often. But... no jeans at work for me and by the time the weekend comes, the blazers need a break. 

 

This was one of the GYPO fall challenge outfits. I was pleased at how this turned out with the camel blazer and gold flats. This knit blazer is the perfect match for jeans.

This is just really a jeans and tee outfit. But there's something about adding a scarf and fun shoes that makes you feel cute. My inspiration for this comes once again from Bridgette Raes.  This post on how to wear Keds reminded me of my striped tee, anchor scarf, and red shoes. I've worn the shoes and scarf together before but I had not thought about pairing them with this tee.

 

I know it looks a little summery but it's still warm in places and I was visiting the Cape Henry lighthouse when I wore this, so the nautical approach seemed appropriate and I was glad for the weather to allow me to wear this. And as is typical, just a few days later the temps dropped, so you'll be seeing tall boot outfits soon.  The cooler temps are supposed to hold out for about three days, then we'll be back in the 80s.

Fall favorites- boyfriend jeans and shades of orange. This was a perfect weekend outfit. This sweater is soft and cozy, yet lightweight- perfect for our form of fall.

 I've added a little more fringe to my wardrobe in the form of a crossbody bag. While I love all the fringe heels and booties out there, I'm afraid I won't love them forever so I'm sticking to small amounts of fringe now. I already own a poncho with fringe too so I'm not totally out of the loop.

I'm also loving this necklace. I'm petite with a short torso, so long necklaces (anything past 28 inches) tend to be too long for me. This one is the perfect length and goes with casual and work outfits.

And one more thing- The sweater has a zipper all the way down the back. Business in the front, party in the back! It's another one of my favorite details of this outfit.

Hope you're enjoying a day off!

I can't think of anything more comfortable (for going out of the house) than boyfriend jeans and a tee. I resisted this type of jeans for a long time because of the distressing and I had a hard time with fit, but once I got over the distressing and found this fit from Loft, I fell in love. Over the past year, these have become a favorite. Add a pair of cute shoes and you even look like you put some effort into getting dressed.

 

I wore this tee last fall with a cardigan, jeans and sneakers.

And I've also worn it with a skirt.

I'm not much into plain tee shirts but I love a good graphic tee.

Blinging in the New Year

So I'm a little late for "blinging" in the New Year since it's already been here for almost a week and half. Oh well, I'm always a little late to everything.

 

I got this beanie for Christmas from the hubby and I was on a mission after Christmas to wear everything I got, so this was perfect for our New Year's Eve. We chaperoned our church youth group lock in. I didn't stay all night, too old for that, but we did see in the new year with them. We painted their faces with zombie makeup and they had a zombie theme photo scavenger hunt. Did you know Jesus raised the dead?

 

Here's a peak at the makeup the hubby did for one of the other chaperones.
