We were back into a warming trend last week but it was decent enough Wednesday evening to add the utility vest as a layer. I think it helps make my track pants a little more fall like. This is an outfit that came together because I saw the vest and pants hanging on the clothes line drying together. Have you ever made an outfit from random pieces hanging on your line or lying in the laundery basket together? Maybe that would be a fun challenge sometime- just pull random pieces from the laundry that you didn't originally wear together and create an outfit.

Hey ya'll! I skipped a couple of days because I was on a little vacation with the hubby for our anniversary. I'm picking up where I left off last week and have a couple more outfits to share, but I'll admit there were no outfit photos taken during vacation. When I unplug, I usually unplug from the whole routine. And besides that, we camped for two nights and then spent two nights in a hotel at another destination. All of our activities involved hiking and outdoor stuff, so it was tshirt and shorts the entire time. Yep, shorts. Where did fall go? It was so stinkin hot the entire time. Too hot for camping.

 

I picked up this blouse last year on clearance so it didn't get much wear, but I'm happy to put it into rotation this year. I wore it with navy last year, but this time, I'm pairing it with black and letting the little leather shoulder patches shine.

I also paired it with red last year:

A slight chill

The temps actually dippped to low 50s last Sunday. The same day the high was in the 80s so the fall celebration was short lived. I got a bit tickled looking at all the ladies on the praise team at church in their tall boots. One of them was back to bare legs with a summer skirt and top for evening service. That's how fashion rolls in south Georgia.

I opted to celebrated the short lived cold snap by busting out a scarf and jacket. Layers that could be removed after lunch work best for me.

It took me long enough to get on board with the graphic tees but I'm here! I kept missing the ones I wanted on sale because they would sell out but I was able to snag a couple over the Labor Day weekend sales. It was killing me to wait until my 30x30 was over to wear them. And I love this outfit so much, I may just repeat this formula over and over until winter. Blazer+graphic tee+jeans+booties+statement necklace (if you want to dress it up) It's perfect for our warm fall weather, but still looks seasonally appropriate with the booties. And let me tell you how much I love these Loft jeans- most comfortable jeans I've ever worn. They stretch but still hug your body without ever getting baggy or saggy. LOVE them!

How do you fake fall? Light layers and color. I had originally planned to just wear the blouse and pants (more pieces from a would have been fall capsule) but I saw a cardigan with a bow top online and was inspired to add my cardigan. The cardigan was not going to be part of the capsule, so I'm glad at this point that I have not limited myself. It was cool enough last week to tolerate the cardigan.

An easy formula for getting out the door quickly and still looking polished for work is a sweater+pencil skirt+statement necklace+heels. A nice soft sweater that fits works best for this formula. Save the slouchy, oversized sweaters for the weekend. This lightweight sweater is perfect for our warm fall weather.

I love the neutral looks we are seeing everywhere this fall. I started out October with a strictly business look in neutrals and added a pop of fall color. I mentioned that I had considered a capsule wardrobe for ninety days but I couldn't narrow down my choices. Had I gone forward with it, these pieces would have been part of it and I'm sure you will be seeing them again. For a long time, I've not utilized the white button up but now I'm being drawn to it over and over again. Maybe it will finally get some use and become that "wardrobe item every woman should have" for me.

 

Below are ways I wore this suit last fall/winter:
