Ramblings

Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to the weekend! It’s the teen’s school Homecoming, so we’re headed to the football game tonight, then it’s pictures and swallowing back tears tomorrow. All these ‘lasts’ of his Senior year are slowly breaking my heart!

He’s already receiving college acceptance letters, so it looks like this whole moving away thing is actually happening. #gulp Let’s move on before the ugly cries start, shall we?!

Thanks for the love on this week’s Work to Weekend style post, along with the Thanksgiving fun, including our Rustic Glam Table, Starbucks Pumpkin Bread recipe, and cute outfits for Thanksgiving day.

Today is a grab-bag of topics, starting with another round of Sugarplum Style, snapshots of my everyday outfits I share on Instagram and Facebook, created by mixing and matching items in my closet. I hope they inspire you to stretch your wardrobe further by mixing up what you already have, and thoughtfully add new things.

I’m crazy about this dark olive shade for Fall, and this sweater is so comfy and cute with the ruffle detail. It’s also on sale! My earrings are lightweight and a fun touch of color.

Fit Tip: I sized up to a small.

Do you follow me on Instagram and Facebook? I posted this favorite Patagonia pullover there yesterday because it was 20% off! I post daily sale alerts and new finds you don’t see on the blog, so make sure you’re following! You can still take advantage of this sale with code TAKE20NOVEMBER.

Another day, another cozy pullover! This one also on sale!! I’m tempted to grab the pink one, too! And see my cap? Yep, that’s an embroidered dog!! #hearteyes I also grabbed it in camo.

Fit Tip: I sized up to a small in the pullover.

    I’m loving deep olive, too! I’m a knitter/crocheter and have 5 balls of deep olive wool that I can’t wait to use. The J.Crew sale is 35% off with code family and free shipping- all you need is a free account. I just ordered my Christmas pjs. Their cotton vintage button downs with piping are the only type in my dresser. So comfy!

    HI, I really like the long sleeved Ruche dress but I live in the Midwest where our winters are cold! Can you give me suggestions on what I can wear with it, casual and dressy to warm it up? Thank you so much!

      I’d do a long city coat or peacoat when outside, and a long, chunky cardigan inside!! And booties to keep your feet warm!
