It’s Thursday and time to link up with Kellyann and Jill for Fashion Files!
Today is even more fashionable for me! Want to know why? I get to go to a fashion show! There is a shopping center near me that has restaurants and shops and many of my favorite boutiques are located there. They have an annual fall fashion show, and I get to go this year! 5:00 starts the food and cocktails and 6:00 starts the fashion. There is shopping starting at 7:00 with some discounts involved. You also get a swag bag.
So, last week I told you about my two little Old Navy skirts that pull on. I wore the burgundy (the other is black) with this fall blouse from last season and my new Frye & Co. vegan boots to brunch for my friend’s birthday last week.
When I went to my friend’s new distillery I bought a sweatshirt and paired it with my gray Amazon leggings for Friday errands.
I wore this blouse and jeans to dinner Friday night.
I thought my Spanish burgundy velvet Mary Janes looked good with the sunset. The brand is Cayumas if you are curious.
I love wearing my Adidas to run errands. I hope these don’t look summery.
I had fun getting some fall aesthetic photos in my boots…
Tom and I ran some rainy errands Sunday and I just threw on my pumpkin graphic v-neck tee with my rain jacket.
I wore my Witching Hour with jeans and my new scalloped cardigan for dinner the night before.
Monday I ran errands in the softest J.Jill consignment fall vibes button up blouse (several years old), jeans, and my Adidas.
And, Monday night I wore jeans, my leopard Mary Janes (Dolce Vita), and my new black Umgee blouse for a game of Mah Jong.
Instagram knows how to get me!
Look at this Old Navy SLEIGH sweatshirt!
Look at this one!
Monday’s errands took me near one of my consignment stores – Clothes Mentor. I popped in but didn’t see anything I needed. I would say I leave empty-handed about half the time. You just have to browse frequently, you know?
I’m not technically a boomer, but apparently leggings are a sign that you are not young!
Are we gonna stop wearing our leggings? I’m not!
I said I was going to try not to shop in October and I wasn’t able to make that goal. I bought two Umgee blouses, a Old Navy Christmas graphic tee, and two Old Navy skirts. I think that is all I bought so that isn’t too bad!

The fashion show sounds fun! I’m definitely not going to stop wearing my leggings but I do have some wider leg workout pants too.

I like your new skirts! I think I want to try one…I just don’t know if I’m a skirt person. I may visit an ON store soon so I can try one on. I love the photos with the boots and the leaves on the ground. I love seeing leaves on the ground like that. As always, all your outfits look great!

You should! One of the colors was only $10. I would say to go normal size or one up so the skirt can lay a bit lower. I went with normal size. If you wear long boots there won’t be much skin showing. I def. think you should try it! Thank you – I really need to step up my photo game. Trying! Thank you! I need to find my tripod and take better outfit photos but I just take a quick one as I am leaving to live my real life! You know how that goes!

To be QUITE HONEST, I like the flared leggings (yoga pants) trend that is hanging around from last year. The wide leg or sweatpants is good too. I’m actually pretty much over leggings and boots? I never thought I’d say that!

Me too! As long as they aren’t too long on me. I have a great pair of Amazon flared leggings with pockets. I haven’t looked at Aerie’s offerings in a while.

I bought the Old Navy skirt you have. I think online it was only $10 on sale. I love the cute graphic tees at Old Navy but I quit buying them because they got holes so quickly. That is the cutest “Sleigh” sweatshirt!!

Oh yay! What causes these stupid holes? I thought it was the jeans button but I don’t wear jeans with buttons anymore!
Lol!
