Dressing up a Plain T

Well it was a plain T kind of day but I wanted to add something that would give it a little style.  Plain T's are perfect for adding a fashionable necklace, even something on the chunkier side will work well.  When I'm in the stores, I always try and take a peak at their jewelry.  You never know what you'll find on their sale or clearance wall, just might be the necklace you've been looking for!

This necklace was a Kohl's find - clearance tag for $8.00.  Try not to over spend on fashion jewelry, it's better to get a few different pieces on sale that you can switch around then spending a lot on one necklace.

Have fun with it!

T-shirt: Marshalls
Necklace: Kohl's

Browns and Boots

Well we're in full fall swing - browns and boots.  This was a recent outfit I pulled together, I went with lots of layers.  This skirt is a Gap find, perfect with tights and also works with bare leg in warmer weather.  I kept it simple with a heather gray v-neck t-shirt and then layered on a simple zip cardigan from The Loft.  Its a must to have basics in your wardrobe to mix and match to make many different looks.  A plain black sweater like this will get you a long way.

To add some life to the look I paired a light brown belt around my waist, layered on a brushed gold necklace and my chunky gold watch and bangles.  Brushed gold and bronze jewelry are perfect for accenting the fall colors in your wardrobe!




















The best part of my look are my favorite fall boots.  These are classic distressed brown riding boot style, that go with so many of my fall outfits.  I swear they get better with age!  These are a Nine West find from their vintage line - I've been in love since I got them! They don't have the exact style, but check out this years vintage line here!

Purple Pants and Ankle Boots - Fashion of the Season!

Well I finally found a pair of purple pants this weekend!  Added bonus, they have a cool floral scroll pattern in the corduroy fabric that adds great depth.  Where can you find these, check out Ann Taylor Loft - I picked them up at 60% off in stores but you can get them at 40% now!!  Not only are they pretty different, but this color is so in for the fall!

Strolling through the mall, I stopped in Bakers to see what they had.  Ankle boots are in this year so my eye quickly was drawn to this cute pair.  Here is a similar pair from their site, but the ones I picked up were on sale for $39.99 and the color is a little lighter.  Not only are they ankle boots but the side zipper is a great detail.

Since the pants were such a statement I toned it down with a simple gray shirt and scarf.  I wanted the pants and boots to be the focus :)  It's pretty cold in the morning so I threw on a sweatshirt jacket I found at Marshalls.  The button detail gives it the perfect touch! 

Tip: Pick up a pair of ankle boots (with a side zipper if you can)!  Don't be afraid to add some bright skinny pants to your wardrobe, purple/burgundy is a hit fall color this season!

The Cowl Neck Sweatshirt

Gap Find - love this cowl neck sweatshirt! My sister, Jen, is showing you this look today, I love the laid back yet stylish touches.  The cowl neck, drawstrings, and sewing detail gives it enough style to make it  the perfect throw on for a trip to the store.  You'll be comfortable and cozy yet still looking polished while out.  Check out all the colors and order one today!  Bonus: on sale :) 

Jen is wearing the blue heather! 

Tip: Invest in some fresh lounge clothes.  When you look good, you feel good!  

My sister decided to add silver bangles to her look.  Silver goes great with the blue heather sweatshirt, especially my favorite bangle, Living Water! Check out Alex and Ani - an amazing company right from RI!
