You guys, I had my eye on this jacket for a while but it was a little more than I was willing to pay, but I recently found it on sale so I did what any girl would do: I snatched it up! I’m still learning how to choose outerwear for my outfits. I started out with a denim jacket but I don’t like wearing it with jeans, and then I finally got a trench coat but I can’t figure out when it’s appropriate to wear (only when it’s raining? can you wear them with jeans? it can’t be too cold out because it doesn’t keep me warm, etc.) but I was convinced that I needed this jacket and now I have it and I’m wearing it with everything! I don’t even care! Also, let’s talk about this sweater. I got it on sale at Target recently and I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be a cropped sweater for an average-size person but I’m so short that I feel like it hits at this awkward point around my belly button. I really like it though, so I’ll make it work.

Here’s the blooper: I have no idea…

How adorable is this blazer? It came in my September Stitch Fix box. I asked the stylists to send me some good outwear pieces and they definitely delivered. I kept this maroon blazer because it was super cute – I mean look at the detail in the back in the photo below – and it fit great. I also kept this striped blazer. This outfit just screams “AUTUMN” to me because it has all of my autum favorites: the colors, the stripes, and leopard. Unfortunately, this blazer is really light so it might be getting too cold to wear, but I’ll make it work for as long as I can.

First, pleae allow me  to say Happy Veterans Day and send out my profound gratitude to everyone that has served or currently serves in our armed forces.

Second, I’m loving cropped sweaters. I want to buy them all and wear them year-round. As a high-waisted short girl, I have a hard time finding tops that aren’t too long and some trends, like half-tucking sweaters, just don’t work. But cropped sweaters get me, especiallly these mohair cropped sweaters from Banana Republic. In fact, I bought several of them in different colors. The awesome thing is I can wear them layered like this OR I can wear them as sweaters with high-waisted bottoms, half-tucked! Maybe average height girls can do that, too, but I’m just excited to find a trend that works for me so I hope this one sticks around.

I wore this outfit for our annual family photos that go out on our holiday cards. I’ll be sharing a few of them later this week.

The knitting on the back is a nice touch.

I love wearing black and orange together. Probably because they’re Halloween colors and I love Halloween.

(Side note: I’m working on Halloween post with our costumes. As in years before, we didn’t get very many photos but we were totally cute.)

I think I could live in this outfit. This amazing blazer is from my September Stitch Fix box; I asked for more outerwear pieces because I think all of mine come from Banana Republic and I enjoy branching out. I fell in love with it the second I pulled it out of the box. It’s made of fairly heavy material so I can wear it in cooler weather, and the ruching on the sleeves is adorable!

I wore it to a meeting and then wore it again to work and class. The coolest thing was that I got a ton of compliments on it from my friends, coworkers and strangers! One guy in my class even complimented it and fashion is probably that last thing on his mind. So, needless to say, it makes me feel pretty fabulous.

And here’s the fun blooper: Clearly I wasn’t ready for the photo!

You can probably tell when I really like an outfit by the number of photos I post of it. The more comfortable I feel in my clothes, the more I like the outfit and the more photos I take. I think clothes can really enhance your confidence and, for me, it shows because I get a lot of cute picutres out of it. This one is probably my new favorite outfit, though. I’ve worn this to dinner with friends, to class and to work, and for hanging out. And I would wear it every day if I could. When I think about my signature style these days, this is it: a cute top, a cardigan, a scarf, and comfy shoes. It doesn’t get much better than that.

I purchased this scarf on sale at a cute little boutique during a conference trip to Wilmington last week. I loved the plumy colors but I didn’t realize it would match this cargidan so well until I got home and put them together. I chose the turquoise flats to break up all the plum, and I have to say that I’m absolutely loving the plum/turquoise combo. Ahh, there’s just so much to love about this little outfit.

Here’s the fun one: I had so much fun with the Bloopers post last week that I’ve decided to add one as my fun post whenever I have a good one from a shoot. In this one, I was looking up at a plane in the sky. For some reason, the plane looked weird to me so it caught my attention and Nick caught that in this photo!

“Why does that plane look so weird?”
