Navy or Nothing

 

 

 

  

  

 

Flannel: Old Navy | Excursion Vest: J. Crew Factory | Denim: Old Navy | Necklace: BaubleBar | Earrings: BaubleBar | Tory Burch Wrap Bracelet | Michael Kors Watch | Ankle Boots: Sam Edelman 'Phoenix' (Old Style) but also love these | Bag: Kate Spade Saturday

 

I've dubbed this combination my "Fall Uniform" because it's my go-to this season. No matter where I'm going or what I'm doing, I usually throw on an oversized flannel, a vest, destroyed denim and ankle booties. In my opinion, it's fail proof. I also can't wait to layer a cable knit sweater on to this outfit during the Winter.

 

I want to talk about this Old Navy flannel shirt for a second because it's by far the best flannel I've ever owned. I loved it so much that I even went back online as soon as it arrived and ordered the blue & green plaid version, too. Great material, good quality, the price is amazing and the fit is beyond perfect. If you are 5'7 or taller and like your flannels to be a little longer (like I do), I would definitely recommend the tall size in this shirt, if available. I will most likely be ordering more of these because I can't get enough of them and apparently I'm not the only one because sizes are going fast!

 

A quick word on these ankle boots- They're are an older style but I have seen them at two different Marshalls/Home Goods stores so if you have one near you, I'd check there. You can also search eBay. However, the Sam Edelman 'Petty' ankle boots (linked above) are a current style that I love. Speaking of love, these chandelier earrings are my new favorites. BaubleBar can do no wrong.

 

  Ps- Maybe one of these days I'll remember to take the hair tie off my wrist before taking pictures. Mayyybe. ;)

 

Thanks for reading!

 

Leather For Less

As I'm sure you've noticed, leather is majorly on trend right now. While real leather can be pricey, faux leather is a great alternative that often looks just as nice. Luckily, there are tons of faux leather options right now that allow you to sport the trend without spending the big bucks. I've found three adorable and amazingly affordable faux leather options that are perfect for Fall & I've styled them below.

Each item is styled two ways to show the versatility of each piece- One is more casual and the other more dressy.


H&M Wrap Skirt

Left: Turtleneck (25% off with code TGIFALL)| Vest | Tights | Reva Flats

Right: Chambray (25% off with code TGIFALL) | Sweater | Booties | Necklace (search 'Tassel necklace' on eBay for similar, less expensive options!)

** Shortly after I posted this, the skirt sold out! Here are  few other reasonably priced, faux brown leather skirts- here, here and here

 

F21 Leather Paneled Pants
Left: Earrings | Tee | Sneakers
Right: Top | Necklace | Pumps

 

 

F21 Pencil Skirt
Left: 360 Studs | Top | Bag | Pumps
Right: Sweater | Scarf | Boots

 

The good thing about most of these outfits is that they are just guidelines and can easily be recreated with similar items. If any of the items listed above are sold out or if you'd prefer a less expensive version, let me know and I will gladly help you find a similar piece :)

 

 In non-fashion news, I am sooo glad it's Friday. I have constantly been on the move lately and this weekend is the first one in a while that I get to stay at home for, so I'm pretty excited to relax and finally get some things done around the house. Hope y'all have a great weekend and thanks for reading!

 

Friends & Family Sales

Y'all, there are SO many Friends and Family sales going on right now. Shopbop and Bauble Bar's just ended BUT there are still plenty of others going on. Kate Spade started theirs today which means you can get 30% off everything with the code F14FFUS. Saks Fifth Ave and the men's section of Shopbop, East Dane, is having theirs right now too (20-25% off Saks and 25% off East Dane).

A Field Jacket Fall

 

 

  

  

 

 

 

   

White Button Down | Maroon Skinny Jeans (Old, Similar options here and here) | J. Crew Field Jacket | Bauble Bar Chain Bib | Nine West Kenie Pumps | Tennis Bracelet | Gorjana Paso Ring | Bauble Bar 360 Pearl Studs (eBay version here)

 

As you may be able to tell from some of these pictures, the weather in Houston this past weekend was pretty much perfect- Chilly mornings, warm, clear days and then cool nights. The nice temps had me so excited to finally break out this J. Crew field jacket that I snagged on sale recently. It was so unlike me to buy this in the military green color instead of Navy but I was apparently feeling adventurous. Now that I have it, I know it will be on repeat all Fall and Winter.

 

I decided to dress this outfit up with these lace-up pumps which make it perfect for a casual Friday at work or even date night. However, for daily wear, ankle booties like these will be my go-to!

 

In other news, after years of thinking about it, I finally took the plunge and got a major haircut yesterday. If you follow along on Instagram, you may have already seen the end product. Needless to say, it's a little weird looking at these pictures as I edit them because I'm seeing just how much I really got rid of!

 

In other, other news, I am off to Philly tomorrow for my cousin's wedding. I can't wait to see my family and watch Bill & Jen tie the knot! Hope y'all have a great weekend!

 

 

Fall Color Crush: Navy

 

 

Excursion Vest | Earrings | Blazer (Less expensive version here)| Satchel | Nail Color | Skirt | Sweater | Tartan Scarf | Wedge Booties | Gingham Shirt

 

The second color I seem to be obsessing over, even more than usual, is Navy. When done correctly, Navy (and similar dark blues) can we worn year round- which is probably why I love wearing and own so much of it. In fact, I gravitate to it subconsciously. As in, without even realizing it, I will return from a shopping trip and realize most of what I bought is Navy. Then I'll go into my closet and see a sea of Navy. This Fall is no different- Navy is a huge staple color for me.

 

What are some of your go-to colors this Fall?

 

Fall Color Crush: Oxblood

 

So far this season, I find myself gravitating toward two colors in particular. One of which is Oxblood (aka maroon, burgundy, wine, etc.). No matter what you want to call it, I can't seem to get enough and the options to suit my craving aren't disappointing. Here are some of my favorites (most of which are very reasonably priced!) :

 

Faux Leather Skirt | Satchel | Sweater | Tights | Pumps (Also love these two options under $30 (1&2) | Swing Dress | Nail Color | Turtleneck | Jeggings

 

Being an Aggie, i'm a little partial to any shade that is basically maroon and am so used to wearing it year round. However, for the rest of the world, Fall is without a doubt the best time to wear this deep red as it is especially appropriate for the season and (in my opinion) pretty universally flattering.  

 

 Thanks for stopping by, check back Friday to see the other color I can't seem to get enough of lately!
