I'm not much of an orange gal. If I'm supporting the Clemson Tigers, I normally go for the purple accents instead of the orange. Purple I can do... orange, not so much. So when I saw that the trend this week for the Spotlight Weekly Linkup with Living in Color Style & Stylin in St. Louis was Orange & Black, I wasn't sure what to do. I realized after a little searching that I really like burnt orange. Which is mainly red with a hint of orange. That is much more comfortable for me to wear. This shirt has been in my closet for years and I love to pull it out around this time of year. The delicate scallop design and the thin fabric is perfect for the fall with a cozy cardigan. It's also fun to match the leaves and pumpkins! And can I also point out how gorgeous my mums are right now, I can't believe they are still alive and that I am actually remembering to water them! High Fives for me!!

old reliable.

I was so excited when I received these boots many, many Christmas gifts ago. It was one of those times when I was shopping with my mom and fell in love with these and she offered to buy them and then wrap them up for Christmas. I was surprised to find such awesome boots from K-Mart and I haven't had such luck since but these things have seriously lasted forever. Even before Peter. Almost 6+ years... that is a long time for cheap boots, right? I love them and I may shed a tear when I have to part with them, but for now they are my old reliable boots.

Summer to Fall.

Honestly, I feel like I have to dress for the transition to Fall every single day in the summer because I apparently work in the North Pole!! My office is freezing. So when I was trying to figure out what I wanted to wear for this weeks Fashion Trend, Transition to Fall with Living in Color Style and Stylin in St. Louis, I felt it only made since to show a little work wear. It usually works out well since I leave my cardigans hanging at work so no matter what I wear I always throw on a cardigan when I walk in. Then on lunch breaks I can take it off and enjoy the sunshine outside without the extra layers. Pretty much the same thing we do in those awkward months when it is warm during the day and chilly at night. This time of year is my favorite!!! Football has started, Sam Adams Octoberfest beer is in the fridge and I'm waiting patiently to pull out my favorite boots!

Stripes and Spots.



I've always wanted to be bold enough to rock the mixed patterns and prints trend but I usually chicken out, but for some reason I had a brave moment this week and actually wore this entire outfit to work. A rainy Monday morning needed some sass, so I went with it. I've worn all of these pieecs before but never have I thrown them all together into one outfit. Okay, let's be honest... I've worn this exact outfit many times, just not with these shoes. But life is short, wear the shoes. That is going to be my new moto. Also wear green nail polish because it is pretty. And like I said, life is short!
