Perfectly Fall

I literally threw this outfit together on Tuesday morning and was pleasantly surprised on the very fall-ish vibe it evokes.

The grey of the tree bark, the burnished orange color of the leaves, it all coordinated with this outfit. 

I've had all these items for 5+ years, except the shoes, and it is always great when you can take classic items from your closet and make it look modern with a great pair of new shoes!  

Oh, these ankle strapped heels, I splurged and I LOVE them!

Scarf: (no tag)-Thrifted 
Silk shirt: J.Crew (2007)
Minnie Pants: J.Crew (2008)
Shoes: Sam Edelman (Okala) via Zappos-here they are full price but I was lucky to get them at $85.

Pink for October

You may have seen this coming...I switched up my background color for the month of October, PINK!

I do this all in an effort to raise awareness for breast cancer and hopefully help women prevent this disease.

If you'd like to support breast cancer research in New York state, I am running a 5K race on Sunday, October 13th organized the Carol M. Baldwin foundation and you can become a member of my team, "Team Christine" as an actual or virtual runner.  Click here for the main website or click on "Team Christine", I'm in the top 5 fundraisers so I get my name on the main page of the site!
As always thank you for all the support and prayers from my friends and readers; together we will find a cure.

Peplum and Stripes

I finally thrifted a top to join all of blog land on the peplum trend.

This is the outfit I wore to be interviewed for a story on young women, binge drinking and breast cancer.

Gingham and Anchors

I love navy blue, this was a fun outfit for fall that would probably work well for spring.

My hair is really growing in and in certain light it is a full head of hair!! These pictures are a few weeks old so the changes now are really amazing!

Touches of gold help to tie everything together.

Thanks to everyone for your continued support and prayers, my radiation is done and I a recovering and regaining strength every day.

I'm back to teaching this semester, only three days a week but, it feels good to be doing what I love.
