I've been wearing a lot of black and grey lately (here and here). I love the classic, neutral palette for fall and winter. I added a pop of color with my burgundy shoes.

Here's where I wore these grey pants a while back with another neutral-leopard.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. We got an early start on holiday celebrations by having Thanksgiving with my in-laws Saturday.

I consider a buffalo plaid a must have for fall/winter. It's also a piece that will be a classic and stick around. Those are the reasons I promptly went to Old Navy and purchased myself a brand new plaid shirt this week, (using rewards so I didn't pay much). I received one last Christmas as a gift and wore it a couple of times last winter, but the fit was not quite right. I tried to wear it again last weekend and decided that an ill fitting shirt would not do. The old one will get posted in my Poshmark closet.

This one will get worn regularly if the temps will stay down. After a chilly morning, Tuesday afternoon was 80 degrees, so most of the day this shirt was worn tied around my waist as shown in the last pick.

Do you have a favorite item that you would run out and replace right away?

Another simple pairing that didn't take much thought or effort. A blouse+pencil skirt. Add some fun shoes and a necklace. Done. I've been wearing pencil skirts a lot lately because all you really have to do is add a top and you look polished. It makes for a less stressful morning.

And look at those leaves in my pics? They've gotten the message about fall but the thermostat hasn't. It was 80 degrees Tuesday! Come on, mother nature, just chill out. (pun intended)

When camo first came on the fashion scene, I said I would not wear it as a fashion item. Camo was for rednecks and deer hunters in my home town. Well, a sweet deal on a subdued grey camo skirt from Loft change my mind. I happened to be in one of their stores last month and it was on clearance with 40% off that- total= $16. So now I'm wearing camoflauge. Who knows? you may see me in my old green camo tee.

If you are a regular reader, then you probably recognized right away that this is not my signature look. Nonetheless, sometimes it's fun to try a different look. I started out with booties but they just weren't comfortable so I switched to my sneakers. I love these shoes and they have been a go to for "off duty" casual attire lately. Once I went with the sneakers, I decided what the heck, since I've got a sporty thing going on with the stripes and sneaks, I may as well throw on the beanie. I do like to wear a beanie once in a while in the winter, but I'm not so sure it really looks all that good on me. Maybe I'm too old for it. I was going to be outside in the cold night air, so the beanie stayed, regardless of looks. Sometimes function wins over fashion.

Back to work, back to work. Hope you had a great weekend. Mine was not as productive as it should have been, but I made some progress on some chores and did a couple of fun things. And today was easier to face as a Monday because tomorrow is a holiday!

 

I fell in love with a mustard cardigan a couple of years ago and went to great lengths to find one. It was one of those items that was sold out by the time I decided to purchase one. However, I found one and still love it. Below are three other ways I've worn it.

You might also want to take a peek back at four ways I've worn a purple cardigan.
