Beautiful Fall

We've been having the most amazing fall weather here in upstate New York...it solidifies that this is my favorite time of year! Well, actually, I love every season.

I took a few quick outfit photos the other day and thought I would share.

The Puff

I am loving my down puffy vests this winter, they look cool whether it is subzero or just in the 40's. I have quite a collection of them: light blue, black, red, white, and I have to restrain myself from buying anymore.


Here, I highlight my most recent, this green Lilly Pulitzer goose down vest: 

Pop the vest over anything, it works!

 A hat and some Hunter's

Good to go!

But, if you could believe it, I'm loving them even more post mastectomy!  What a great way to give your self a little extra fluff! With one of these on, no one can tell that I only have one boob! And for the two weeks plus I had drains and tubes coming out of me, it was a great way to hide even more.

Vest: Lilly Pulitzer-thrifted

Cool enough for a hat?

Winter is always great for a nice cashmere hat.

I've been seeing lots of bloggers sporting knit hats in their posts and I thought, ah-ha, what a great way to hide a dirty head of hair, I've got to try that!

I'm not sure if I am young or hip or cool enough to pull it off...but, oh well I tried! It gives this photo a certain wintery holiday feel.

Hat: cashmere from TJ.Maxx (old)

Linked up with two thirty-five designs!

Utility

This jacket caught my eye immediately, I liked the pockets, the belt and the fall appropriate weight.

I've worn it a lot lately and got these pictures of it featured in a casual look. 

My favorite part of this outfit were the layered denim and blue checked shirts,

 and the beautiful vintage blue necklace.

Cords: J.Crew

Jacket: H&M-thrifted

Not so Girly?

I love feminine and girly things like floral, lace, silk and crochet skirts but, I can't seem to wear them literally. 

I always pair them with something not so girly, like this denim shirt.

Lots of women out there can rock head to toe floral or lace or crochet...and all I can think about is how great a recently thrifted lace skirt (stay tuned) would look with a black leather motorcycle jacket (gotta find one).

Skirt: TJ Maxx

Shirt:  Old Navy-thrifted
