It may look nice and warm in these pics, but Texas is starting to cool down. I think fall is my favorite season to dress for. I love wearing boots, scarves, chunky sweaters, anything and everything cozy!
After seeing this pin, I fell in love with the idea of wearing thigh highs. When I decided I wanted a pair, I shopped online for a pair that was known to be forgiving at the top (meaning, they don't make my leg look like a sausage in it's casing). These got great reviews on Amazon.com so I took a chance and I'm so glad I did. They are tight enough to stay up, but don't create any unwanted bulging or creasing.
In other news, I realized the other day that I hadn't had my hair colored in over 3 months so my cousin Laura gave me a nice little refresh and a quick bang trim. Having a hair stylish in the family has it's perks!

Jim and I are visiting NYC this December with our traveling buddies, Ty and Liz. This will be my third time visiting and I am beyond excited to see the city with Jim. While we're there we plan on seeing The Rockettes, eating in Little Italy, seeing the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center, and tons more.
I realized pretty early on that all of my Texas jackets are a joke compared to what I am going to experience when I get up there, so I've been on the hunt for a proper jacket for a while. Some requirements I've had are:
- Needs to be wool or wool blend
- Needs to have Thinsulate, which helps maintain your body heat
- Needs to be at least mid-thigh length
- Needs to be matched with black or brown
After much searching and pinning, I decided the perfect jacket for the trip would be the Jcrew Lady Day Coat. It met all of my requirements and I love the single breasted look, but I didn't love the price tag. After browsing Ebay for a few weeks I found my jacket for less than half the price! The previous owner ordered the wrong size and couldn't wear it. That's what I love about Ebay, you can find great deals on brand new items too.
Now that I've got my jacket, I can start looking for shoes. Lately I've been drawn to more 'grungy' winter looks: loose tops, moto style booties, messy hair. Love it all. Here are the top two contenders for a daytime walking bootie:
I'm trying to justify just buying both......

I got these olive skinnies at Old Navy last year and I have been obsessed with them ever since. The other pairs of colored skinnies I own aren't really neutral so it has surprised me that these skinnies have become a wardrobe staple for me.
I have recently realized that olive green is my new favor neutral. It goes with black and brown, and pretty much every other color too. Pretty soon I'm going to end up with all olive green pieces, I just know it. Another color I'm slowly warming up to this fall is mustard yellow thanks to my cousin, Laura. I'm not a fan of it with everything, but it is looking pretty good with muted colors like navy right now.
