When you find a good (affordable!) thing...stick with it!

Earlier this week I wore this exact outfit, except the sweater was white- click here to see. When you find a good thing, I say stick with it. Especially when it is so affordable. At only $39, so I got it in white and green, too (it comes in 5 colors)! I love all how the black adds a touch of sophistication. The necklace adds interest and a bit more flair. It's comfy and layered so I can easily take the sweater off if I get too hot today. This is a perfect outfit for Thanksgiving dinner at home with the family, specially if you're traveling! You could always pair the sweater with some shorts on a warmer day, or add a peacoat (I love THIS ONE on sale right now) on a colder day! And, of course the necklace can go from day to night. Happy Friday! 

I feel the need to add that Hayden was just sitting up in the 4moms bassinet stroller for the picture-- not while we were moving. Safety always first;)

FALLING INTO PLAID.

I love this time of year.  It's still okay to get away with summer pieces in my wardrobe, but start to incorporate some fall essentials. One of my main staples has always been a great plaid top.  Sometimes it's an inexpensive flannel to add color (and warmth!) to an outfit. Other times it's a really gorgeous fabric that hangs well and layers beautifully.  Paige Denim has a viscose blouse that I can't get enough... I'm sure you'll be seeing me post about it more often. And Equipment has a specific way of mixing the down home feel of plaid with the high fashion blend of silk. The look is impeccable. 

Yesterday, we went on a lovely walk through the Skirball Cultural Center. I needed something easy and functional without losing all fashion sense. Pairing the Paige "Trudy" (comes in several colors) blouse with off- white skinny, cropped jeans and a few layering tanks. I finished the look with layering tanks.
