My, my, what a busy few weeks it has been! Between school, church and a weekend getaway to Victoria (more about that next week!), things have been pretty crazy around here! When the sun was out last week I had to seize the day and take pictures, even if my husband couldn’t help me with them!
Today’s outfit was an experiment. I had seen some bloggers wearing white on white and some other bloggers wearing suede boots with white skinnies as a way to transition into the fall. It felt a little too white for me, so I added one of my fall favorites, a comfy Aztec Cardigan. I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out. For me, it’s the perfect transitional outfit into fall – it pops against the beautiful oranges and reds of fall.

Buffalo Plaid tunic Fall Outfit Faux Fur Vest outfit ideas

There’s just something about the weather lately that has made me crave warm, comfy plaid. I waited with anticipation to receive my red plaid tunic from Dresslink.com (see this post) and when I got it, it didn’t fit. More on that later, but since I now craved a red buffalo plaid tunic, I started looking for it everywhere. Like many fall items, the best options of popular items sell out early so most of the ones I found were already sold out online. That’s why when I was walking through Marshalls with my hubby and saw this one, I snatched it up immediately.

I feel really terrible for having a post with so many items that I can’t link directly. I hate when bloggers do that. But when it comes down to it, one of the reasons I decided to blog was because I frequently found myself scouring the internet to find alternatives to the options my bloggers linked online or current options to replicate a picture I found on Pinterest. By sharing my research, I could save someone else time that I had already spent. So today, I give you outfit inspiration and the results of my research.

First, let’s talk about Marshalls. Though they don’t have an online store, my local stores have GREAT options this year for cheaper alternatives to the name brand labels. I found a TON of amazing faux fur vests (I had a hard time not buying more!), including the one I’m wearing. There was also a great affordable version of the popular J.Crew Factory printed puffer vest.

Buffalo plaid and faux fur vests will sell out FAST, so buy now! Another great place to search for these kinds of items are in online boutiques. After doing some sleuthing for you I came up with these options for Buffalo Plaid (here, here, here or here). For Zulily, make note of when they say they will ship the item (it’s not always right away).

Outfit Details: 

Tunic: Marshalls, in store only. Similar.  (more great plaid options in widget – btw, the blue option in the widget comes in red also when you click it!)
Leggings: Ross, Ci Sono old. Similar here. Got my eye on a faux leather pair like these! (more in widget, including a curvy option!)
Faux Fur Vest: Marshalls, in store only. Similar here, here, or slightly different here. Will also put a separate widget for faux fur options under $100 below!
Wedges: Nordstrom Rack, old. Similar here and more in widget. (Personally LOVE these)
Lip: Stila’s Beso from Sephora or Ulta.
Pave Bracelet, old. Similar here or here.
Watch: Charming Charlie, unavailable online. Similar here
Metal Ball Bracelet: Charming Charlie. Similar here.

A number of additional options for most items are linked in the widget below!

A Pop of Color

by Leave a Comment

 
 
 

Some mornings you just don’t have time to think of accessories. Today was one of those mornings for me. I had a long day of block periods with lots of lesson transitions ahead of me and accessorizing was not as important as getting a grip on the morning.
 
Thankfully, I have seen lots of similar, basic outfits on Pinterest lately that didn’t take much effort to put together the night before. Skinny jeans, a striped top and a white blazer as the basics and a pop of color with the red shoes (which, by the way…I can’t get enough of!) to top it off.
 
Each of these ingredients are what I would consider closet basics. Picture after picture I see from blogs and on Pinterest make use of these basics in a variety of ways. I will mention more about these in later posts, but for today, they were the perfect easy combination to look “put together” on a day that I needed to feel put together (if you know what I mean!).  
 
So when I walked in my classroom at 6:30 AM and glanced in the mirror behind my desk I couldn’t help but wonder what was missing. I had my pop of red but no accessories to pull the outfit together. Lipstick to the rescue! That was all it took.
 
Lipstick is the perfect accessory. I was uncomfortable the first time I wore it because I felt like my lips were so bright, everyone must be looking at me!  Then, I glanced in the mirror and felt grown up. That’s what lipstick did to me the first time – made me look and feel grown up. It added a level of completion and professionalism to my look and on days like today that I feel drowsy, lipstick helps me look like I’ve “got it together.”

Ann Taylor Skinny Jeans: Old and bought on clearance, similar
H&M Striped top: Old, similar, others below.
H&M White Blazer: Old, similar
