Plaid with Stripes

Hi friends!

It is frosty cold here today!

We are back from Philadelphia, the race went great. 

I'll post about that next week.

 

I can't believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner.  I'm getting excited!

I so love the holidays.

I need to get myself into the spirit!

 

I've worn a couple of outfits with plaid as of late.

I even got myself a new plaid top so now I have three!

I haven't ventured into the plaid on bottom, but maybe soon.

 

I'm just realizing now I paired both of these plaid tops with large stripes.

I'm totally digging that... obviously enough to wear it! 
I think the large stripe is fine with the plaid, and it adds more interest than a plain color.

 

I went with a boot cut jean for this look, and a heeled short boot, makes me taller, and feel thinner!

 

shirt: target

sweater: marshalls

jeans: downeast basics

boots: payless (old)

 

This next look I went with a skinny jean and riding boot.

And now the plaid is on the outside with the stripe inside!

both tops and jeans: old navy

boots: marshalls

 

 

 



Philly for the Weekend

I'm going off line!

It's race weekend!

I've spent the day getting us ready for our trip!

 

I wish I had all of these blog posts ready and waiting to just post on their own, but I just can't get ahead... you know what?  It's OK!

 

Have a great weekend!  Check out CCMcAfeePerspective.com for some great archived reading and crafting!

 

Rust Sweater, Animal Scarf

How do you choose what to wear? 

Is it determined by your mood, what color you feel like wearing, maybe a new item you want to wear?  What you have going on that day?

All of these are what go into me choosing what to wear each day.

Sometimes, though, I pick one item and try to create a new outfit with it.

That is what I did today with this rust colored sweater.

 

I bought this sweater last year and I wore it once or twice.

I got it out again, and went for my scarf next.  This is a newer purchase.

I built from there... jeans?  No I've done that before.  How about a little dress?

Built from there to choose leggings, because it's cold, then comfy sweater boots to keep it casual.

 

I was warm and comfy, and stylish all day!

 

dress: Ruche

sweater: Marshalls

leggings: Target

boots: Old Navy

scarf: Burlington

Here is what I did with it...

Be sure to stop over!

 



Just Easy.

necklace: Down East Basics

Biker Chick... or Biker Chic?

Now isn't that a clever title?

I amuse myself!

Got this dress from Target, on clearance of course.  It is a sleeveless dress, I think it was summer clearance. 

No problem!  I paired it with my faux leather, studded jacket, also seen here, to keep me warm.

 

dress and jacket: Target

belt: Charming Charlie

shoes: Charlotte Russe

Adding Fall to My Lightweight Dress

 This is a fun fall dress I got last year.  Can you see the stripes?

It's cute, but lightweight.  I needed to fall it up a little... so I didn't have to hike the heat up... hubs doesn't like how that hikes the bill up! :)

 

I added leggings, a scarf, jacket and boots!

Yep, that will do!

Scarves help keep you so warm don't you think?
