You're an animal tonight

Oh, sunshine. Between shorter days and lots of rain, it's a rare sight these days (and getting rarer).

So, I decided to keep my Evans booties after all. They're cute no? They are a bit roomy but with a pair of thick socks they fit well enough, and I love them with skinnies - these skinnies in particular, the Zip Me Skinny Jean from City Chic. On sale and with a credit I snagged these babies for just over a dollar! They fit so well through the leg and butt, but of course are roomy in the waist - it's my usual problem with all this junk in my trunk. I had to hold 'em up with a belt this time, but they'll be making their way down to my sewing room for a quick darting soon enough. But if you're straight through the waist and hips I can't recommend these jeans enough! They're super stretchy and comfortable, and I just love the rich, dark wash.

Oh, and do you like my new bag?? Finally, a purse big enough to hold all the crap I lug around. I scored it off ideeli; the price was so good that I just had to get the black version for my sister for Christmas as well! I just might have to borrow it - that's allowed right?

It's been a chilly, rainy week here in New Jersey, and I know I'm not alone in yearning for Fall fashion! I'm looking forward to tights, boots, sweaters, and especially cute jackets and blazers!

This gorgeous wool blend coat from Old Navy is the perfect casual winter coat. I have a beautiful charcoal grey wool mid thigh coat ready to go for winter, which is great because you can throw it on with jeans or with a dressier outfit and still look appropriate.

This coat though, I dunno what it is, but I need it. Maybe its the standing collar or the subtle gathers on the hem and sleeve, it's casual yet feminine and I MUST HAVE IT.

Downside? It's $99.50. WHO told OLD NAVY they're allowed to sell something as expensive at $99.50?? I'm hoping they'll still have my size when it goes on sale, or that I get a gift card for Christmas :)

...or, let's be serious...I might cave. NOT YET. But I might, at some point.

Sugar and Spice

We've got perfect fall weather going on right now in New Jersey. It's cool and crisp in the morning, which is perfect for the lightweight oversized-plaid coat I picked up a few weeks ago for only $30 from Filene's Basement!






It paired perfect with my work outfit today. I like the detail on the neckline of this shirt, it makes it a little more special than just your basic tee. The dark pink is pretty with this grey wool skirt, and an embellished black cardi and black heeled mary-janes topped off this girly sweet look.

I thought this color scheme was perfect to wear this chunky necklace I made a few years ago! I was already wearing this vintage onyx pendants and decided to leave it on too. My favorite part of this outfit though is my metal and leather weave belt. I loved it so much when I saw it that I picked it up in white leather as well! It's simple but fun and brings a little edge to any outfit.
