I heard that today is National No Bra Day fyi! Ha! Do you participate? I am joining my co-hostess Marsha and hopefully several of you for this week’s Fashion Files. Isn’t it fun to start wearing fall clothes? We will be back in the 80s most of this week until the weekend, unfortunately.
Last week I talked about my struggle with how and when to switch from my exercise/dog walking clothes into a “real outfit”. I did a better job of getting dressed this week!
I am trying to wear my three Halloween/Fall graphic tees since it is now October. I have the pumpkin one below (last year from Old Navy) that I wore with a green cardigan (old from Target), my new New Balance 471s, and…

These jeans are the ones from Amazon that I talked about last winter, recommended by Tanya. The ones I have on are my bigger size and too big so I have put them in the sell/donate pile. I have them in a different wash in a size smaller and they fit in a more flattering way. I bought my sister the pecan brown ones and she absolutely loves them and the color. It makes me wonder if the different colors/washes fit differently.
One day was pretty cool so I got out my last season Target fish sweater! I just put a white tee under and wore my light wide legs with my new NBs again.

Here is my witch hat/black cat ON graphic tee. I wore it with black leggings and a favorite very old Target rust colored cardigan. I was worried I donated this cardigan, but I was so happy when I realized I didn’t! It’s so old that it’s the old Mossimo Target brand.

I wore my third graphic tee that you can’t really see with my new Athleta rain jacket. I got some new shoes, too. I thought these were so cute and I am very happy with them! They remind me of an old timey football for some reason.

Now you can see the tee better. I wore it again with my Matilda Janes.

I told you that I placed a J.Crew Factory online order and one piece was this barn jacket:

The other piece was this ruffle shirt that I picture wearing with crewnecks and cardigans.
I wore this on Friday for a patio happy hour. I feel like the brown polka dot makes the linen material ok. I really can’t walk in these clogs anymore but I didn’t know what shoes to wear.

Here is some outfit inspo I want to copy. I have a very similar navy sweater and a ballcap.

I have a chambray button down and can try this look with my above fish sweater.

What have you been wearing lately? It’s all so weather dependent right now!
Join here if you have a Fashion Files post!

We don’t have much hope of a warm up of any sort in the forecast so I put away the last of my lighter weight clothing and pulled out all the fall/winter stuff just a few days ago. I’ve been wearing turtleneck sweaters with jeans, fleece vests with striped tops, and other warm layers.

It’s going to be 80 here today but then should be nice and quite comfortable in the 70’s and 60’s the rest of the week. I like your new shoes from Amazon. Very cute. I’m tempted to order them but I try to avoid wearing shoes with backs on the heels unless I can wear a very good quality pair of socks with the shoes. (I have to protect my still sensitive heel.) I have a navy sweater, too, almost exactly like the one in the picture.

Same here!
They have a similar shoe like mine in a mule that I can try to find for you. I get that. I am loving navy lately!

Love the Halloween tees! It’s been so warm here that I haven’t been able to wear much fall yet. Love the rain jacket and these inspiration looks. Thanks for the link up!

I’m going to wear my (same) J Crew blouse today as I have to go from book club to dinner at a friend’s with basically no time in between. We are having cool mornings, warm afternoons, and cool evenings. My favorite weather except when it comes to dressing. Have a great day!

I have those jeans in white and love them. The fit is true to size for me. I am ready to transition to fall clothes and find a few new pieces. I hope to shop next month with the holiday sales.

I think I am in between two sizes in them because one is a bit snug and one is too big – lol. I always like to shop around my birthday for my final fall clothing haul. When I say haul I mean only a couple of things!

I feel like I’m wearing one season in the morning, one season in the afternoon, a different season in the evening and then still a different one when I go to bed! However, I did put away most of my summer clothes and now I’m focusing on layering!

I really like that barn jacket! I want a new fall coat and am trying to decide if I want a barn jacket or a short trench. Decisions, decisions!

It’s really well made! I haven’t worn it out yet but I think I will like having this weight of jacket. The short trenches are so cute but I have a midi length one that I am going to just keep wearing.
