While Gigi’s out being a new momma, I did a little guest post of my Fall Fab Five so go check it out.

I wore this Tuesday and felt really good in this outfit. After weeks of 100+ degree weather, we received a dramatic shift in temps over the weekend. I can’t believe how nice 95 degrees feels. And we should have a lovely low temps tonight in the 50s! I brought out two items I had yet to wear since purchasing them, switched to my “Fall” purse and had an awesome hair day too.

All J Crew
Darlington Satchel in Blue Indigo
Silk Stripe Tee
Ankle Toothpick Jeans
Cece Suede Ballet Flats in Wild Berry
Teardrop Necklace

There is a new version of this tee in navy with white polka dots, which AppGal tried on here. I’m wearing a 6 in the Stripe Tee in the pic. And yes, I’m in a J Crew dressing room. I tried on a few things that I’ll post later.

Not sure what is going on around this part of Texas but we are having some fires sprout up all over the place. There’s one currently going on a few miles from my house. It was “snowing” a little ash at my house earlier. I received some sad news about the large fire in Bastrop that is still blazing. A former work colleague, and good friend, lost his home. He and his family and animals all made it out, thankfully. So far, 600 homes and 2 lives have been lost. Even though we have received some temperature relief we are in need of some a lot of rain.

Anyway, have a Great Evening and I’ll post again soon! I have a “Vintage” Shoes-day post I’m working on that I’m excited about.

Here are a few OOTDs from this week.

Monday – Valentine’s Day – Honestly, Husband and I decided long ago to not celebrate. It’s nice to receive flowers and cards and chocolate but I’d rather have them on a day where he doesn’t seem like he’s forced to do it. Just make it random. Of course, that didn’t stop me from buying a card and for he and The Boy, along with making a nice dinner and having some wine.

Blouse/Corset: Polynya Corset Top in Black Anthropologie
Cardigan: J Crew Factory Store in Dark Peony (I think – DPE)
Skirt: JC Ripple Stripe Pencil Skirt in Black (6)
Shoes: JC Penelope in Black

Tuesday – Shopping with Husband for his Vegas trip. We had some beautiful, 75 degree weather that day.

Blouse: J Crew Silk Sequin Scoopneck – Size Small (look for popbacks)
Jeans: JC Ankle Stretch Toothpick in Cherish Wash – Size 30
Shoes: Prada Leopard Flats

Wednesday in the office – Such a gorgeous dress and it feels great on. It makes me feel great! I was looking for a cardigan to go over it and thought of a lime green or mint color. But then I walked into J Crew and saw the Warm Buttercup Jackie was a PERFECT PERFECT match!

Dress: Take Action by Girls from Savoy Anthropologie – Size 6
Cardigan: J Crew Jackie in Warm Buttercup – Size M
Shoes: J Crew Joley in Twig (I think)

See what I mean!

Have a great evening!

I realize now I have been wearing a uniform since last week…button down shirt, sweater, ankle toothpick jeans and boots. I’ll throw on a blazer if it’s a little chilly and I have to run to the store. I have two pair if the jeans and I do everything but sleep in them. Absolutely love them.

Here are yesterday and today’s outfit. I even did similar plaid shirts. I’m so predictable sometimes.

All items J Crew
Factory Eden Blazer in Plum
Cashmere V-Neck Sweater
Candy Plaid Perfect Shirt in Sweet Moss
Ankle Stretch Toothpick Jeans
Anthro Pebbled & Primped Boots

All items J Crew
Sommers Plaid Perfect Shirt in Periwinkle
Saturday Sweater in Marled Bronzed Avocado (Sz Small)
Ankle Stretch Toothpick Jeans
Short Chalet Boots in Desert Brown

Sommers Plaid Perfect Shirt – Size 8 – Again, I have to accommodate my shoulders and upper arms so I always wear an 8 in the Perfect Shirts. This has some pretty colors in it and I have many sweaters and cardigans to wear with it.

Saturday Sweater – This is very soft and runs big. I normally wear a Medium to accommodate my shoulders and upper arms but the small was loose and slouchy and soft (I said that right?). The Marled Pulp Alabaster looks more like a Citron or bright yellow and not so pastel or light like the online pic. I may order the Marled Bluegrass. The color looks so pretty.

Have a great evening. I’ll have some more J Crew reviews tomorrow.

We’ve had some pretty cold days this week. I’m glad today is going to be a beautiful 60 degree day. I had to head in to my office on Tuesday and as much as I wanted to “work-wear” my Lolli pants I knew I would be cold so I decided to layer with my new cashmere tee.

Shirt: J Crew Factory Store Two-Pocket Chambray Shirt (32043)
Sweater: J Crew Cashmere Tee in Henna
Jeans: J Crew Ankle Stretch Toothpick
Boots: Pebbled and Primped
Necklace: J Crew Knotted Twist Necklace

I stayed in and warm on Wednesday and Thursday. By Friday I was ready to put on real clothes and decided on a repeat of Tuesday.

Shirt: JC FS Chambray Shirt (again)
Sweater: JC Cashmere Tee in Bronzed Olive
Jeans: JC Ankle Stretch Toothpick
Boots: Steve Madden Inragee
Scarf: JC

We had a teeny bit of snow on Friday. It stuck to the cement and hard surfaces but not the grass.

Bella’s not too sure she really needs to go potty.

And finally – I want to wish a wonderful Happy Birthday to my son David (aka The Boy). He’s 15 today and I’m so happy and proud to have raised a wonderful young man. He is my life.

I’m off to cook for the birthday festivities. I still owe you Anthro pics and JC Factory Store pics too. I hope to have them up or ready to post tomorrow evening.

Have a great day!
