Hello, and welcome to my blog
Thanks so much for being here!
The early autumn weather has been glorious,
sunny and in the 70s-
I could not have custom ordered better weather!
☀️☀️ ☀️☀️☀️
October is one of my favorite months of the year,
here in Maryland
I have been slow and reluctant to switch out my wardrobe,
pulling out only a few pieces
of my cool weather clothing at a time,
since it has been even more lovely
and unseasonably warm than usual!
The first to be unpacked, in making the seasonal switch,
is some of my darker denim
All the denim is trending this season,
so this dress seemed like a perfect choice
Other items that have been coming out of storage
the past few weeks,
are short sleeve and light weight sweaters,
and some printed tops in seasonal colors
For today's outfit, I have chosen a dark wash denim jumper,
with brass tone buttons down the front,
and a matching self tie sash belt
Layering a short sleeve, bright pink, crocheted
crewneck sweater underneath
Sashes and belts are a big fashion trend this season,
going hand in hand with the cinched-in waist
silhouette of the eighties
Get ready for structured shoulders, ladies!
Darker denim is a standard
that comes back around predictably every fall,
as well as cozy sweaters
The sweaters of the moment this season are
preppy crew neck pullovers, short sleeve styles,
collared polo necks and cardigans
These classics being touted as what is trending
this season is a nice opportunity
for all of us to easily shop our closets
I bet you have many of these classics
in your wardrobe already,
and will be right on trend if you choose to wear them
What do you think about this practical, versatile trend?
I am loving it!
The short sleeve, bright pink, crocheted
crewneck sweater underneath the denim dress-
well it's pink and very versatile,
so it stays out all year round, of course!
When I was assembling this outfit,
I thought it was perfect for the bridge season
Next time I wear this dress though,
I think I will try some different layering
This particular square-ish neckline
gives me milk maid vibes on me,
although I see it working brilliantly on others!
Brightening the outfit up with an added pop of pink,
in this cute handle bag
It is convertible to cross body,
with the chain strap handles
For jewelry I chose open circle gold tone post earrings,
a simple collar necklace,
and a 1950's vintage purple expandable bracelet
A chiffon scarf in ombre shades of purple
to indigo is in my hair
I don't keep CPW data on the items in my wardrobe,
but I am sure that these reptile embossed
navy blue sling back pumps
are down to pennies per wear
I choose them a lot, as they work well with so many outfits,
and have held up extremely well
A good buy for sure!
A bridge season outfit with denim
from the past, October 2020
The burgundy color of this blouse
has come back around as a fashionable color this season
I hope it will turn up as I unpack my fall and winter boxes
Today, the item I am featuring that is leaving my closet
is a pair of black suede tie heels
They have been favorites for many years
I am sorry they are leaving,
because they are so right for my style,
and work great with so many of my outfits
I am only parting with them because it is time
for all heels over 3" to leave my closet
I feel and fractured a disc in my spine,
a few years years ago
(wearing trainers, of all things)
Now, my back is happy with my new 3" rule,
so higher heels must go!
A way back outfit, wearing these favorite shoes
Farewell, old favorites 😢 They still look practically new
I hope someone adores them like I did,
and perhaps dances the night away
at a fun holiday party in them this season 💃
I bought some autumn flowers today,
mums in sunny yellow. A nice compromise
for moving into fall, but not leaving summer completely behind
I hope you are enjoying the season and your week!
