Fall Fashion - Monday

I realize it's been quiet(ish) 'round these parts. I've been staring down a big ol' heap of mental clutter. Putting together a comprehensible paragraph seems incredibly challenging right now. And a blog post? Out of the question.

Since I've been at a total loss for words, I was excited to see that Emery Jo would be hosting Fall Fashion Week, bloggy-style!


Summer Fashion Week was more fun than I expected, and it gave me a great excuse to focus on my "outsides" for a while. I truly believe that we can take care of our insides by taking care of our outsides, but I often forget that I truly believe it. Right now I could really use some inside-care in the form of sweaters and leggings and knee-high boots. So I was thrilled about Fall Fashion Week. Thrilled, that is, until I realized...I have nothing to wear. Nothing blog-worthy, anyway.

The truth is that I do Fall (and Winter, and rain-soaked Spring) in this one knee-length gray sweater coat. I was totally unsure about it when I bought it, but I wear it with everything. I've been known to wear it with pajamas, even. I have fallen into a serious Fall-fashion rut.

Here's my first attempt to dig myself out. With a different gray sweater. (Oh, well.)

Monday

This circle sweater has no buttons or clasps or anything, and I tend to wrap it around myself like a blanket.

Monday
Sweater - Thrifted
Striped top - Thrifted
White tank top (barely visible) - Target
Jeans - Cheap Monday (Urban Outfitters)
Silver flats - Bandolino, thrifted

Head over to Moms are for Everyone for more (warm and cozy) Fall Fashion!

Although our styles are totally different, I laughed as I read your post. I have a tan sweater/coat thing that I got last year on clearance at Kohls. It has no buttons or hooks or anything and I wear it whenever I'm cold, when I'm going out, when I'm in my pj's - basically all the time. I also wrap it like a blanket and think of it as a warm hug. Yes, I'm smitten and in a deep, deep rut with my sweater. :-)

I like it, and when you find the perfect sweater, well, maybe wearing it every day is a good thing!

That sweater look so cozy and still flattering- quite a feat! I don't think I would take it off if I had it! You look so beautiful, as always.

So excited you're back on board!!

I'm loving your grey sweater, and the stripes are so right now. Way to be right on trend as you dig yourself out of the "rut".

Leaving the House in THIS?!?!
