As a stay-at-home mom there's nothing I wear more than joggers or leggings and I'm not complaining at all! They're so comfortable and if I have to leave the house, I still look pretty put together. Here are a few of my favorite athleisure staples that are sure to be your favorites, too!

If you look in my closet you’ll see a multitude of patterns, but stripes rule them all! I already own a striped sweater dress from Forever 21 (last seen here) and it’s one of my favorite outfit starters. With all the rich colors in my latest sweater dress purchase, all I need is a pair of booties, tights, vest, and jewelry and I’m ready for anything!

Time for a moment of complete transparency: I hate pumpkin or pumpkin spice anything. In my unpopular opinion, it's completely overrated and, if we're being honest, sweet potato pie > pumpkin pie. I will admit that the only pumpkin spice item I like is this adorable striped top from H&M. This top comes in a few different colors, but I was immediately drawn to this one because this shade of vibrant orange is flat out gorgeous!

There are so many ways to add a little spice to your wardrobe, but all it takes is one piece to be the game changer. My game changer for this year is this faux leather skirt from Loft that I snagged during their fall sale. I don't know what attracted me to this piece, but I just know that I needed to add it to my closet. I've already got so many awesome outfits planned around this versatile piece that I can't wait to share with all of you. Until then I'm  sharing the 5 reasons why you need to add a leather skirt to your closet now!

It's no secret that fall is my favorite season for fashion. I love everything about it: the colors (Hey there spicy mustard!), the layering (Hello puffer vest, my old friend!), and the new textures (Looking sexy there, velvet!). Lately, I haven't had much of a chance to experiment with my wardrobe since I have been living in my fall "mom uniform." All my moms out there know exactly what I'm talking about: sweat/yoga pants, oversized sweaters, and anything that isn't covered in spit up. On the fall days that I want to look more put together while running errands or taking my daughter to the doctor, I reach for these 4 new mom fall staples.

Today I'm sharing my top 4 staple outfits that you can recreate year after year!

2017 Fall Bucket List

The first official day of fall is tomorrow and I'm so exited! Last year's bucket list was made with just my boyfriend and I in mind. This year we get to celebrate the season as a family with McKenna! I know she isn't old enough to understand most or any of the activities on my bucket list, but I'm still pretty psyched for her first autumn! Keep reading to see what's on my fall bucket list and why!

Florals? For fall? Not entirely groundbreaking, but still pretty unexpected this time of year. With fall comes a whole new pattern and color palette. I'm stepping outside the fall fashion box with this pretty floral frock from Pink Blush Maternity! The muted floral pattern just works perfectly for the transitional time between summer and fall.

Happy Hump Day, y'all! Tomorrow is the last day of the month which means we're one day closer to fall! Don't get me wrong; I love summer. Probably more than I should, but fall will always be my first love. It might be the leaves changing or the chill in the air or the multitude of fall activities; whatever it is, I can't wait for it! In my neck of the woods the weather has cooled down just a little bit and some of my favorite fall pieces have come out to play including this blouse from Pink Blush!

Fall 2016 Colors of the Year + How to Wear Them

Fall is in full swing and we've finally pulled all the sweaters and boots to the fronts of our closets. Wearing the same shades of cream, olive, and navy can get a bit boring. Luckily, the Pantone Color Institute graced us with their top color picks for Fall 2016 fashion. "The desire for tranquility, strength, and optimism have inspired a Fall 2016 color palette that is led by the Blue family. Along with anchoring earth tones, exuberant pops of vibrant colors also appear throughout the collections. Transcending gender, these unexpectedly vivacious colors in our Fall 2016 palette act as playful but structured departures from your more typical fall shades. Blue skies represent constancy as they are always above us. Grays give a feeling of stability, Red tones invite confidence and warmth, while the hot Pinkish Purples and Spicy Mustard Yellows suggest a touch of the exotic." I don't know about you, but that quote from Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, inspired me to try to incorporate more color into my fall wardrobe. Today on the blog I'm sharing all 10 fall colors of the year and how you can incorporate them into your existing wardrobe!

My Fall Bucket List

The first official day of fall was this past Thursday and I feel there was one huge, collective sigh of happiness from everyone in Virginia. It feels like summer dragged on forever and now we're all ready for a break from the heat and humidity. Fall is my favorite season for multiple reasons: the cooler weather, the feeling of a fresh start, and my #1 reason, all the fun fall activities! Today on the blog I'm sharing the list of fall activities that I hope to complete by the first day of winter. Last year I only crossed one of these off my list (check out my post all about the fun I had at the 2015 Virginia State Fair!), but this year I'm aiming to cross off all of them!

Holiday Outfit Series - Day 5: Be Thankful

It's the last day of my Holiday Outfit Series! Here's a quick recap in case you missed it:

 Day 1 - A Traveling Thanksgiving, Day 2 - An Edgy Friendsgiving, Day 3 - School Spirit, & Day 4 - Keep It Casual

I'm so proud of myself for actually committing to this week and finishing it. Thank you to everybody who has visited the blog this week! I'm truly thankful for each and every one of you. I hope you guys have plenty of inspiration for outfits to wear this Thanksgiving and maybe the rest of the fall. Today's look is super simple so keep reading to see what it is!

Holiday Outfit Series - Day 2: An Edgy Friendsgiving

Welcome to Day 2 of the Holiday Outfit Series! Yesterday's post on a Traveling Thanksgiving was all about comfort. Today is about looking like a rockstar while attending a cozy Friendsgiving. I'm so proud of this look because I kinda came up with it at the last minute and I think it looks fabulous. I'm a huge procrastinator and I do my best work under pressure haha.

Last year my friends hosted our first annual Friendsgiving and it was so much fun! It was a potluck and everyone brought a dish and we sat around and talked and played Cards Against Humanity. This year is my turn to host and I'm super excited to have all my friends over for a party. Today's outfit is a bit like my group of friends - edgy, preppy, and stylish! The buffalo plaid and herringbone vest seemed like an easy way to introduce pattern mixing and I decided to keep the bottom simple with all black. I think this outfit would also be nice with a pair Timberland boots and a beanie for a bit of masculine edge. What would you wear to a Friendsgiving party with all your closest pals?

Oui to the Scallop Miniskirt

Happy November! The weather has been bipolar (as usual) and it was unseasonably warm on this rainy day. I knew I wanted to wear one of my favorite pieces of clothing from this past summer - the Topshop scallop miniskirt from one of my first outfit posts. I still love the feminine scallop cut on the hem and the stripes add the perfect pop of pattern. I threw on a closet gem - my OUI sweater from Married to the MOB. It's a bit old and the beading could use some work, but I love it! My trusty riding boots were a no-brainer with a pair of matching boot socks/leg warmers (which I'll have a DIY up for soon!). Got an oldie, but goody piece in your closet? Let me know about it in the comments below!

Plaid + Herringbone + Duck Boots

This outfit features two of my favorite combinations for fall - plaid and herringbone. This plaid flannel shirt is one of my autumn staples and I swear I wear it every week! My vest is the infamous J. Crew Factory herringbone vest in black. I previously wore the Steely Gray version in my 50 Shades of Grey outfit post (Please check that out if you haven't already!). I heard rumors J. Crew was bringing this color back for fall and I was super happy to check the site and find it listed. I immediately scooped one up and I've been in love with it ever since. These Sperry Saltwater duck boots were perfect for the rainy weather we've been having lately. They're so warm and comfy and I plan on wearing them all fall/winter long! What's your favorite way to style a vest or duck boots for fall? Let me know in the comments below!

Coziest Blanket Scarf Ever!

SHOP THIS POST:

I cannot tell you guys how soft and comfy this blanket scarf is; there are no words. You have to get one for yourself to find out! I purchased mine from Amazon like I mentioned in my Save VS Splurge post on blanket scarves. The price was perfect and with Amazon Prime I was able to get free two-day shipping, just in time for a very chilly weekend here in Virginia. I love the trend of pairing this plaid scarf with a striped item so I pulled out another one of my "borrowed from the boyfriend" pieces - a simple long sleeve crew neck sweater that I cinched with a brown belt. I threw on a pair of fleece lined leggings and my favorite brown riding boots from my What Do You Love About Fall? outfit post and I was ready for an outing with friends. We ended up going to Bar Louie in Short Pump and sitting on the patio and enjoying $5 beer buckets. As the temp dropped I was able to unwrap the scarf from my neck and use it as a shawl. Talk about pulling double duty! I think I just found my new favorite piece of fall clothing, sorry puffer vests!
