Cheers to Friday! I’m so excited to see this week come to an end…it’s been Red Ribbon Week at school, and even though I’m thrilled the focus has been on drug awareness, coming up with daily themed outfits for each kid is no joke!
And don’t get me started on Halloween costumes! Little Miss and I have been going round-and-round trying to agree on an ‘appropriate’ costume for a 10-year-old girl! #sigh My son always tells her, ‘Modest is the hottest!’…don’t you love that?!
Okay, mom-rant over! Today it’s your monthly dose of Sugarplum Style…snapshots of my everyday outfits I post to Instagram and Facebook, created by mixing-and-matching items in my closet. We’ve had a few teases of Fall, so some cozier looks are finally making their way in the bunch.
If you’ve been reading this blog for more than a minute, then you’ve heard me sing the praises of this fleece cardi wrap. It’s been dubbed, ‘the kitten cardi’ because it truly feels like being cuddled by newborn kittens. Correction: declawed kittens. It’s the kind of thing you put on Friday night, and don’t take off until Monday morning…I pretty much wear it with my pajamas, then with jeans or leggings the next day. It’s a little disgusting, actually.


















I hope these posts inspire you to create new combinations from your closet! The key isn’t to have more clothes, but to mix up what you do have in new and different ways. Except this jacket and this $25 scarf, you need those. And if we’re being honest, these black jeans, too. #trustme #enabler
You can catch up with past installments of Sugarplum Style here, or follow my everyday-style outfits on InstaGram. Make sure you’re following my Facebook page, too…that’s where I post deals, steals, sales and goodies! Happy Halloween weekend, lovebugs!
P.S. You can shop my outfits anytime by clicking that ‘Shop My Feed’ widget in the sidebar. A box will pop up with thumbnail images of everything I’m wearing in that post…just click the pics & it will take you directly to that item! No sign-ups or logging-in necessary! #whatwilltheythinkofnext

Yes, I've seen the Bobeau fleece wraps at TJ Maxx too – I didn't realize they were the same ones. I'll have a pick one up next time!! Thanks for letting me know!
You always have the cutest outfits! I have that utility jacket and just love it. I wear it all the time! Regarding the kids – we have been doing the themed outfits as well. Such a pain when you are trying to get them out the door and then realize it's "silly sock day!" Enjoy your weekend!

I love love love the posts with your mama! Your two smiles make me smile! Happy Friday!
Your son is so wise!! I love that phrase, "Modest is hottest!" It is so frustrating sometimes shopping for your girls. Everything is so tight, short and inappropriate. Love your outfits as always. Enjoy your weekend and best of luck finding that perfect costume for daughter. Mine decided on a MODEST version of Little Red Riding Hood. She is 10 too!
What a darling costume!!! We decided on a bookworm…and she looks so cute I can hardly stand it!! Have fun this weekend!
I'm wanting to order the Norfolk Crossbody, but have a few questions for ya. I'm wanting to use it as my travel purse. Is it small enough not to be bulky and big enough to hold stuff? Like the 3 bears…just right? I'm needing it for my 50th b-day trip to the Big Apple so I need to get ordering it if you think it is a good travel crossbody. I've been wanting to order a purse from BG, but all of the totes are just too big for me. 🙂
Hi Karla! I'm 5'4", so you can see the scale of the bag on me. I think it's plenty roomie for travel…easily holds wallet, phone, sunglasses, lipsticks, etc. And since it's canvas, it will expand if need be! xo
And PS, don't forget to use SUGARPLUM10 for 10% off your order!
Is the 35% of at World Market correct? I'm only seeing 25% off – what am I missing? Thanks!
oop!!! so sorry, that's a typo on my part! Furniture is 25% off!
The "modest is hottest" caught my attention. This is good read for a little perspective.

Thank you, that's definitely an interesting read! xo
You have to watch this lady on red ribbon week 😂 My little is only 19mo at this point, but I see this in my not too distant future!!!https://youtu.be/ld3KTYEbAkg
That was so so funny!! And so true!! Thanks for sending it! xo
Red ribbon week? Never heard of it so trying to picture what fancy dress for drug awareness is. Monday is harried ER nurse covered in vomit? Tuesday rumpled suit, red rimmed eyes and talcum under the nose? 😉
I also imagine how difficult it is for low income families to keep up with it all! Saw some excellent costumes on the tube yesterday though
Okay, that's hilarious!
Awesome website, love it!
