four seasons, one dress: fall

Gap Dress: Goodwill $8 Jacket: Old Navy (on sale) $25 Booties: Just Fab $20 Total Outfit Cost: $45
A couple months ago Priya and I teamed up to show you our Gap striped dress for summer, and today we're showing y'all how we each styled our dress for fall! I honestly wasn't very prepared this time around, but I knew I couldn't go wrong with my new utility jacket. I finally got this thing a few weeks ago and I can't stop wearing it! I love the way Priya styled it with cognac riding boots, a matching belt, and a cardi. I'll probably be copying her outfit soon!
Posting every day last week made me need a little break from blogging this week.  Being on a computer all day then going home and getting back on my laptop to write a blog post every day can be exhausting! Plus, I was out of town this weekend and then my mom has been visiting this week and helping me decorate my house for Christmas (YAY!) so I haven't had much time to post. I'll be back up and posting next week though! And with a Firmoo review. :) 
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

I was looking through my pictures to see if I had any outfits to post to the blog, and I came across this outfit from a couple months ago that never got posted. When I saw it I immediately thought about a way to wear this same outfit for fall... and the fact that I need to get this outfit it's own post stat! I think I never posted this outfit because the lighting in these pictures were wonky and I didn't like the way I looked. I guess right after you take pictures you can see all the flaws in it, but then when you come back to it months later, the pictures seem just fine? Anyone else ever had that happen? Also, come back next week to see how I fallified (yes, I just made that word up) this outfit!

Usually when Bree (Work Clothes I Suppose) posts her Third Thursday Threads theme, I always forget about linking up, but this week was one I couldn't forget. This weeks theme was pink for breast cancer awareness month.

3 1/2 years ago my mom found a lump in her breast. She got it checked out immediately and it was stage 1 breast cancer. She had a lumpectomy and then radiation. Since then, she is 3 1/2 years CANCER FREE! We are so blessed to say that my mom is a survivor! So ladies (men too!)... make sure you are doing SELF CHECKS and getting mammograms! It's SO important.

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a lovely weekend. I sure did! Saturday I planned on going to a few garage sales, but I work up and just wasn't feeling it. Instead I cleaned the house from top to bottom! Call me crazy but I seriously love spending Saturdays cleaning my house. It just makes the rest of the week so much more relaxing, and not to mention a clean house = a happy home. Sunday Larry and I had brunch with his parents and then we went to church. After that it was a just plain lazy Sunday, just the way I like it.

I wore this outfit a couple weeks ago, and it's another one of my faking fall outfits. It may look like I'm layered up in this vest, but really the button up I have on underneath it is super thin. Every time I wear this vest I unintentionally style it with more girly pieces- today polka dots & a statement necklace. This vest isn't necessarily what I'd consider masculine, but I do think adding the feminine pieces make it more "me." I always love how Ginny styles hers. I swear she's the vest styling queen! We're supposed to have a cold front come through tonight yay! Hopefully tomorrow I won't have to fake fall :)

Fall is here! Wohoo it's time for scarves and booties and everything pumpkin, right?? Too bad its still crazy hot here! Oh the perks of living in the south! I can't lie though, I love the heat. But I am very ready for at least a little chill in the air. On the first day of fall I walked outside to take Charlie out and it smelled like fall! Call me crazy, but it really did. Unfortunately that smell didn't last even until the next day. The heat came back and swept away my tiny piece of fall. I'm trying not to let the unfallness weather take away from dressing some-what fall though. I paired a light scarf and booties with one of my favorite dresses for a look that lets me fake fall in this forever heat!

Hope everyone is having a good week!

Okay so I know that fall doesn't actually begin until Saturday, but it felt amazing outside today! I know it won't last long here in Louisiana, but I'll enjoy it while it's here. I know this outfit isn't as dressy as I normally wear to work during the week, but I had 3 exams this week, so I really just wanted to be comfortable today.  That would also explain my lack of posts this week. Three exams in one week means not much spare time for blogging, and honestly, I should be studying for my third exam right now... so maybe I should get back to that!

 Stay tuned tomorrow where I show you my goodwill skirt that I turned into a high-low skirt!

Ps. If you have noticed something different and guessed my hair, you are correct! I am now a redhead!

Pps... Isn't our little happy fall owl adorable?
