Animal Upon Animal with Plaid

 Fall keeps falling and we've hit the chillier side of November. Coming down from the highs and thrills of spooky season we've been staying home more opting for comfy cozy, but far from boring.  coat-H&M(similar here ), matching set-Old Navy( top and joggers ), kerchief--Esty Seller, India Cotton Aura , sunnies-Coach via Groupon(similar here ), necklace- Fable England , bracelet-Slide Jewels(more options here ), gold ring-Ana Lusia(more options here ), sneakers-Cole Haan(similarish here )  My photographer husband was cracking some really lame dad jokes as we warmed up for these pictures and I decided I liked the laughing pics better than the "serious" ones. So starting off with those for this quite comfortable matching set that's way to bold to JUST sit around the house. With a cute shoe and contrasting outerwear this matching set may make an appearance in a low-stakes day at work. I'll probably look to digital creator jaylady1913 over on Instagram. She ...

Spooky Season

Two days until Halloween and I am feeling the autumnal vibes in this novelty print dress and again sporting a fall time kerchief as seen here , here , and here .  cardi- Banana Republic Factory , dress- Disturbia , kerchief- Etsy seller Indian Cotton Aura , necklace- Boheme  seller As You Are Botanicals , shoes- Anne Klein I'm considering what other times of year it feels sartorially appropriate to don this macabre frock? Perhaps in the deep winter. But I will also note that I love the pairing of this dress and necklace which is an enclosed pansy. And now for some poetry.  From "May" by Fannie Isabell Sherrick: The shadows are but passing thoughts That mark each shining hour. The pansy nods her purple head, And sings a silent song; Her life is full of sunny hours— The days are never long. What a juxtaposition of the spring time flower with the raven, skull, and amber tones of the dress.

Fall Feels Folk Frock

Peak foliage color is here and Halloween is upon us. I took a moment to twirl around a field in this peasant dress last seen here .  dress-Anthropologie(similar vibe here ), kerchief- Handker Bandanas socks-Kansas City Kitty(fun option here ), boots- Colombia Sportswear , rings-Ana Luisa(more options here ) & Nordstrom(more options here ), bracelet- Slide Jewels If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen the reel I posted of the "twirling" pics. If not, I think you can feel the autumnal fantasy with this dress and location.  And now some potential shots for my folk/spoken word poetry album. 😀

Simple Scarf Style

 I've been really rocking the scarves and kerchiefs here this fall. For this outfit I'm wearing a scarf from my maternal grandmother.  She passed in 2012 so it's a really lovely memory to have and share with my girls. I love the dynamic print with it's light blue and darker contrast with gold chain details.  sweater-Gap(similarish here ), pants-Boden(similarish here ), sunnies--Coach via Groupon , earrings- Amazon , scarf-Vintage, ring-Jewel Mint (more options via Poshmark ), bracelet-homemade, loafers-Anne Klein(similar here ) This will probably be the last wearing of these linen pants this calendar year. The transitional dressing season is coming to an end as we are deep into October with chilly autumnal mornings and temperate afternoons. I haven't fully turned over my closet, but am slowly putting away the warm weather wear for my favorite outfitting season--Autumn!
