Fall Back to Classic

Happy Daylight savings!

Did you fall back last night?  I totally did, and I felt justified staying up late, because I get an extra hour today!

 

You just can't go wrong with the classics right?

black- check

leather- check

houndstooth- check

fabulous heels- check

 

I got some new hair!  I cut about 5-6 inches off too!
I feel like a new woman!  I've wanted to put some dark in for a while, but I'm still blond.  Love it!

Enjoy your Sunday!

Fall Trend... Classic Prints

It's Sunday, the one day a week I get a bit more fancy!

One of the forecasted trends for fall is classic prints.  Have you seen them... everywhere?

 

I bought this top and showed it to you in this 'new to my closet' post...

Update on that... still haven't worn the leggings or triangle top and am just now wearing the hounds tooth... delayed gratification there!

I have already worn my combat boots several times as well as that jacket, can't get enough of it!

 

ANYway... Here is how I wore it...

I went with a wine colored, patterned skirt.  I belted it. 

I did struggle with my proportions on this skirt... not sure I got it right, but we move on!

 

Love these new peep toe shoes... I'm sure I'll wear them a ton this fall!

top: Marshalls

skirt: Target

shoes: Rocket Dog

necklace: old

 

What are you doing today?  I'm getting some serious photos edited... 2 weddings = maaaannny photos!

 



New To My Closet... Camo!

Man, I am tired this morning!  I think my tempo run yesterday wiped me out!

I love that it's Friday!  I get to go out w/ my man tonight, yea!

 

Welcome to another edition of 'new to my closet'.

These items were added a few weeks ago... and I've only worn one item!

I do that... buy then don't wear for a while.

 

First up these fabulous wine colored, alligator skin heels.

 

Do you love these?  I so do!  Oh how I love shoes!

 

 These nude heels are the only purchase in this post from Target.  Everything else I got at Burlington Coat Factory.  I don't often buy clothes there, but I have found endless deals on shoes there!

My first pair of camo pants.  I'm sure I'm one of the last to jump on this trend, but I think it will continue, so I went for it!  This is the item I've worn... I'll show you that today.

I bought this cute, lightweight sweater to wear with these pants, although that was not the first look I went with. Love it, lightweight, and a little surprise in the back!

 

 Can you see the animal print?  It's sheer and a soft pink... fab!

Also following the 'have some leather' trend, this peplum.  Oh heart it!  It looks classy, can't wait to wear it!

Here is how I wore my camo pants...

 

 

I wore my fabulous Banana Republic sparkle shoes.  I love this color... I love these shoes!

What is Black, White... and Leather...?

That would be me I guess!

Not too long ago my man and I celebrated 16 years of marriage.  I've yet to blog about it... mostly because like all things I get this great idea that takes 20 hours to put together instead of just writing about it!

Anyway... because he knows me well he got me a gift card to Marshalls... because I love that store!

 

I promptly went shopping!

At the end of my hunting I looked in my cart and everything was black and white... except my new workout wear, but that's to be expected.

This is crazy for me because I seldom wear black.  I love color!

Still, I went for it.

 

Here is what I added to my closet...

 

Oh no you didn't... oh yes I did!  Leather leggings... in the front, because my butt doesn't look good enough to don leather!  The back is regular spandex, hides more!

 

Leather is a must this fall.  So are classic prints.  I love this hounds tooth print top, can't wait to wear it!  I thought that little triangle guy was fabulous... I plan to wear it with the leather or some bold colored pants.

 

Do you love this jacket?  Oh my... love!  Leather AND black and white!

 

I have too many boots for one person, but I don't have a combat style boot.  Thank you Marshalls... these will do!

Keep watching to see how I wear these!

Do you buy things specifically to go with items already in your closet or do you just buy what you like and figure it out later?  I do a little bit of both.
