This wasn't  a Halloween outfit, just worn on October 31.  It was just the first chance I had to wear this scarf. And let me tell you about this scarf. This outfit is pretty much a total knock off of Megan's. I fell in love with the whole outfit when I saw it and promptly pinned it. I also pinned the exact scarf to my wish list board. And then I waited because it was too hot at the time for me to wear a scarf. I decided a couple of weeks ago that it was time to make the purchase and to my dismay, the scarf had SOLD.OUT. Nooooo... So I went on a frantic search and found this one on ebay. I'm pretty sure it's an exact match, there is just no brand tag on this one.

 

Oh and the hat... I've never been much of a hat person. At least not baseball caps. Even when I had long hair, I didn't like hats. I recently purchased a straw fedora on clearance and wore it on our vacation. The hubby liked it. So I thought I'd give this one a try. The hubby likes this one on me too, so I'll keep it. Never mind that it's one of the most popular items for fall.

One sweater= three ways

 

1/ 2/ 3

 



 

We are having a few days of sweater weather so I thought I'd share a remix of three ways I've worn a pink crew neck sweater. I don't get to wear sweaters as much as I'd like because it doesn't stay cold long enough, but they can be great pieces to have when you do need them. They can be worn alone or layered.

 

Last week's schedule didn't leave much room for photographing outfits and I had a couple of days in a type of work attire that I don't share, so I was short on posts. I have a couple of posts to share for this week, but I'm not sure how the photographs are going to go with the fall back on the time. It will just about be dark when I get home and I hate indoor photos. We will see.

Boyfriends and oxfords

jeans- Loft

necklace- gift

shoes- JCPenney  option

Worn Oct. 28, 2014

 

I started the day in this blouse with a navy suit and heels for work, but had a half day off for an appointment. I went home and changed into these comfy boyfriend jeans and oxfords. I fought the boyfriend jeans trend up until I finally purchased these in the spring. The first pair had no distressing. The distressing finally won over on me and I purchased this pair. They have minimal distressing but still lend themselves to a put together look (vs "thrown away"). Some gals do a great job of styling jeans with both knees torn and lots of holes, but I just don't think they fit my lifestyle and activities.

 

I also fought the oxford trend when it first came back. I had a pair of white ones when I was 13. (I'm over 40 now.) All of those trends from my awkward teen years were just too much of a reminder of those years to embrace right away. However, add some shine or sparkle, and I'm in. I got this pair during a sale with coupons for $15 so I think I'll get my cost per wear from them, even though they were bought just for fun.

The power of social media

 

Cardigan- TJMaxx option option

blouse- old

skirt- Loft  option

shoes- JCPenney option option

necklace- JCrew Factory

bracelet- JCPenney

worn Oct. 26, 2014

 

I must admit that I get swayed by social media (and a good sale) when I see something over and over. I begin to decide that I need that item too. This skirt is a fine example. After seeing this collage of outfits created with this skirt and other Loft items, and then this one  and this one all over pinterest and this skirt on a few other bloggers, I decided I needed it. A good flash sale sealed the deal and now I have one too.

 

I love a good accessory too. I had originally planned to wear a long simple necklace with this outfit and at the last minute this necklace caught my eye. You've seen me wear it here and here already and it's been worn one other time that didn't make the blog.

 

Hope you're having a great week.

Another easy formula

 

V-neck Sweater- Target similar  option option

skirt JCPenney option

shoes- Banana Republic option  option

bracelet- JCPenney  option option

necklace- Lulu's  option

worn Oct. 23, 2014

 

Remember the easy formula outfit I posted a few weeks ago? This one is very similar, but came straight from Redbook- pencil skirt + vneck sweater+ heels+ arm candy.  I think it helps if the heels are statement heels too. They can shine when you wear a solid sleek base.

 

And just a note to self- I need to check the length and fit of sweaters. I probably need to stick with petite sweaters. The length of this one is making it bunch and add bulk around the middle- not something I want or need. Oh, the things I learn from these photos.

Worn Oct. 22, 2014 PM

 

I wore this to mid-week church service Wednesday night. When I come home from work, I like to put on shorts, sweats or pajamas and stay in them until the next morning. I have to really make myself dress and go out again on Wednesday evenings. This was as close to pajamas as I could get. It was comfortable but still appropriate for public.  It's the tout va bien graphic tee I wore a couple of weeks ago when it was hot, but the temps have cooled off so I was able to add a cardigan. I was inspired by this oufit by Love Lucy Girl. I'm getting more wear out of my sneakers this fall than I did in the summer.

Black, white and grey

 

Blazer- Dress Barn option option

blouse- JCrew Factory (says sold out but still available as final sale)

skirt- Target (thrifted) option

shoes- JCPenney option option

necklace- JCrew Factory

 

You can tell from the post title that this outfit is black, white and grey, but let me clarify again, it is black, white and grey. As the days shorten, I begin to have color cast issues with photos, so this looks navy on my monitor. If it looks that way on yours, it's black, not navy.

 

Where do you find outfit inspiration? I find it in all places- other bloggers, store mannequins, online ads. This one came from the Nordstrom website.

 

And here's a look back at how I wore this skirt in the spring:
