WIWW: Denim & Maxi

Denim jackets and maxi skirts look so cute paired together! I've seen lots of those on Pinterest and finally found a denim jacket I liked that I could try out this look.

WIWW: Purple Scarf

 I am really loving scarfs right now!  I think they are a great accessory for a Fall wardrobe.  However, they can get pretty pricey.  I was doing some grocery shopping at Ralph's (a Kroger store) the other day and happened to see a display of scarves.  They were all super cute and only $4.50 each!  I decided to pick up this cute polka dot one.  I love getting a bargain.  :)

Fall is my favorite time of year! I love the weather, the clothes and all the good food! When I first saw this bomber jacket I fell in love with the color and style of it and had to have it! This year I wanted a new pair of boots and my cute friend Cassidy told me to check out makemechic.com for some boots and I found these ones there!

I love monogramed things and I was at Nordstrom Rack a few weeks ago and found this cute necklace for only $2.

WIWW: Plato's Closet

A couple months ago I took a trip to Utah to visit with family.  My sisters introduced me to this great little place called Plato's Closet.  It's a gently used clothing store with cute & stylish clothes.  I loved it!  You know it's a good place when all four of us walked out with new (to us!) clothes.  Too bad there's not one close to me!

WIWW: Pencil Skirt & Stripes

 

I've always liked pencil skirts with a shirt tucked in, but have always thought they would look terrible on me because I have such a short torso.  But I finally decided to give it a try and I love the way it looks!

WIWW- Old with the New

Green Top- Areopastale (old)

White Tank- Downeast

Jeans- Nordstrom Rack

Toms- Nordstrom

Grey Bag- Target (new)

I used to throw away a lot of my clothes if I didnt like them any more or wear them much. I have since learned not to do that because a year or so down the road they would come back in fashion and then I would just have to go buy more. My green top I bought many years ago and still feel comfortable wearing it. Another example, I bought a jean jacket when I was in college and now they are back in this fall and I cant wait to wear it! So, dont be too quick to throw away clothes! 

What have you thrown away and wish you hadn't?

WIWW: My Sister's Sweater

So the other day I was at my mom's house and one of the twins had an accident.  I didn't have any spare clothes with me (shame on me!) so we looked for a shirt that would work in the dresser of my little sister who was away at college.  My mom found this cute cardigan sitting in there that she bought for my sister but apparently wasn't cute enough to take with her to college.  So my mom decided that I should have it.  And I totally agreed.  :)

WIWW- Racerback Tank

Cardigan- Target
Racerback tank- Target
White tank- Downeast
Capris- Buckle
Toms- Nordstrom 

I love the style of the racerback tanks. They can be casual and also dressed up and I like to wear a little cardigan over the top of mine. They are comfortable while still being cute! Then there are my Toms, I swear I have worn them most of the summer cause they are comfy and easy to throw on...they have become my "go to" shoes.
