I really liked this outfit when I wore it, but I'm not liking how the shirt looks over the jeans in the photos. The jeans are very thick and the fitted tee over them is adding a little too much bulk in the middle. Next time I'll wear them with a looser shirt or do a tuck. Nonetheless, I still like the combination of navy and olive with a denim jacket. The jeans look a little grey here but they are actually a shade of olive.

We finally had a day cool enough to wear riding boots. My hubby bought me a cognac pair last Christmas. I have a black pair, and I have tall black and brown boots with heels, but I needed a cognac pair to complete the collection. I guess I could say I need an over the knee pair to complete the collection, but we will leave that alone for now. Unfortunately, the pair I picked out last year didn't fit. I returned them and I didn't replace them until the Nordstrom sale this year. Do you know how long ago that was? I have had to wait all this time to wear these boots, lol.

 

This outfit was one of the GYPO fall style challenge outfits. Of course that was in late September and October and I didn't get to wear this outfit then. It is nice to have some ideas on hand for later. I wore this for my in-laws Thanksgiving a couple of weekends ago. It's a great outfit for Thanksgiving if you go casual- stretchy leggings or jeans and an untucked shirt and long cardigan to hide that food baby.

The only difference in this outfit and this one is the pants. I almost didn't post this, but I really do like the olive and orange combination, so I had to share it. Do you have outfits where you change only one thing, but feel like it's so different?

 

How was your weekend? I'm on a candy hangover. I'm going to have to hit the pavement hard and put in some miles to run those calories off. I really should just pick one lucky kid at the end of the night and give all the leftovers to that one, ha. The parents would love me.

You may remember this scarf and tunic from my tone on tone post. This time I'm paring the rose blush tunic with olive leggings, or shall we say jeggings. These pants come up under "jeans" and have pockets. The front even has a cool moto flair with zippered pockets, but the labeling for these pants says "leggings" and they fit like leggings. I will be keeping my bum covered when wearing these.

I love olive, or sage green, but if it's too masculine or earthy for you, trying pairing it like this with a soft feminine color like blush.

Olive it

Olive it! I LOVE it! I'm glad to see olive is on trend this fall. I've recently added an olive satchel and olive jeans to my closet. Here are some more olive picks, $100 or less.

Mod Cloth tunic/ Vans/ Joe's cargo skinny jeans/ JCrew Factory tunic
Steve Madden tote/ Kenneth Cole Reaction tote/  River Island pumps

Of course you can always get your olive on with a military/utility jacket or with this cute cardigan.

Happy Shopping!

The GYPO Fall Style Challenge kicks off today. This tone on tone look, created with two of fall's hottest colors, blush and marsala, is inspired by the Day 1 prompts. You could do this with two shade of any color and complete it with a scarf and gold flats. You get a shopping list and suggestions when you sign up for these challenges. I had some things in my closet already, like these flats. Mine are gold with a black cap toe so I'm subbing for the gold flats recommended in the shopping list. I also decided to go with an olive satchel purse instead of a burgundy one. I have been looking for a couple of months for a burgundy purse/tote, even before I signed up for the challenge, but later decided that I can overdo it with the burgundy/marsala/oxblood in the fall, so an olive one would be a nice compliment to all this burgundy.

You most often see my office attire here but I have my casual moments too. This was one of them. I wore this to Bible study last week. These olive joggers are perfect for casual days and for fall. I debuted them here as a summer outfit, but I knew their late start in my closet and wardrobe would not hinder them getting attention. Olive is on trend for fall and with our warm fall seasons, this combo of chambray and olive is perfect. I look like I'm ready for fall, but the lightweight materials keep me cool.
