What I Wore

 

To Take My College Son Out For a Meal

 

Top - NY & CO/Faux Fur Vest - Forever 21/Jeans - Kohl's

Earrings - NY & CO/Bracelet - Target/Watch - MK/Sunglassses - Oakley/Boots - Old/Purse - Thrifted

 

 

When I saw this faux fur vest hanging in Forever 21, I was beyond happy!  It was the only one hanging there, and I couldn't believe my luck.  I had been pinning faux fur vest styles on Pinterest for quite a while, and had been keeping my eyes open for one to purchase.  I have used Pinterest for recipes, decorating ideas, and laughs, but my favorite use has been for clothes shopping suggestions!  I will look at my boards (I even have one for shoes, one for boots, one for dresses, etc.) to see what I have pinned multiple times or ways, and will realize that I need to add that item to my closet.  Do you use Pinterest like this too?

Day of "Getting Things Done"

 

Sweater - Forever 21/Cords - Delia's/Camisole - Bozzolo via TJ Maxx

Watch - MK/Bracelets - Forever 21/Belt - Target/Necklace - gift/Shoes - Land's End/Purse - Daisy Fuentes

 

 

Mondays are not everyone's favorite day if they work a typical work week.  I don't always work a typical work week though, so occasionally I am very happy to see Monday come.  Today is one of those Mondays!  All of the things that need to be done this Monday means I need to be comfortable but prepared for anything, and that is exactly how this combination of cords and sweater makes me feel today.  Do you work a typical Monday - Friday work week, or do you have an unusual schedule like me?

Who Wears These Shoes

 

What I Wore

 

Football Sunday

 

Blazer - Old Navy/Top - Under Armour/Jeans - NY & CO

Scarf - Thrifted/Wedges - Target

 

 

The other day I was in Target and saw these teal wedges on clearance for $14.98.  I couldn't believe my luck in finding them at that price, and was even more pleased when I saw they actually had them in my size!  I love finding a bargain, and especially when it is one that I know I'll use a lot (I'm already planning outfits around these little lovelies!).  What is the most recent bargain you have found that you can't wait to use?

To a College Football Game

 

Top - Boden/Jeans - New York & CO

Wristlet - Coach/Scarf - Thrifted

 

 

 

Nothing better than having the chance to go watch a college football game on a beautiful fall afternoon, than going to watch a college football game with your son in uniform.  A big rivalry game with conference championship on the line makes that game even more fun.  Dressing in the fall to sit outside is taking a chance at being too hot, being too cold or, if you are really lucky, getting it exactly right.  Today was one of those getting it right days!  I started with a long-sleeved t-shirt (unseen) and a pair of tights (also unseen), and this ended up being perfect for a day where the high hit 59 degrees.  How do you dress for an autumn day when you are going to be outside most of the day?

What I Wore

 

To Hairdresser

 

Blazer - Talbots/Sweater - Talbots/Jeans - Forever 21

Shoes - Target/Purse - JCPenney/Watch - MK/Necklace & Ring - Local Boutique

 

 

Finding a hairdresser that you can rely on for great results time after time is no easy task.  The only good way I have been able to find someone has been by a recommendation from someone else.  When you find that special stylist, you will gladly rearrange your day to make sure you don't miss an appointment.  How did you find your stylist?

Baseball Dreams

 

What I Wore

 

To watch my son play in a college baseball game

 

Chambray - Target/T-shirt - WalMart/Black Jeans - Kohls/

Shoes - KMart/Watch - MK/Earrings - Local Boutique

 

I am not the most glam baseball mom ever (although I guess Victoria Beckham is the most glam soccer mom ever), but I want to look a little stylish while sitting in the stands.  Because I wanted to try the chambray trend for fall, it seemed a great day to pull out my new top.  A beautiful fall day is a great day to watch some baseball, but for me, any day my son is playing baseball is a great day to watch baseball.  What sport do you enjoy watching the most?

To Take Homecoming #1 Photos

 

Shirt - JCPenney/Sweater - Thrifted/Jeans - Chico's

Shoes - KMart/Watch - MK/Necklace & Earrings - Forever 21/Belt - Target

 

Homecoming always makes me wish I lived near my alma mater, but driving 6 1/2 hours one way is not generally something that I undertake when my own kids are involved in activities during my alma mater's Homecoming Weekend.  Thank goodness there are so many social media options to keep in touch with my far-flung friends!  Do you go back to your alma mater's homecoming, or do you spend time taking photos of others attending homecoming like me?
