31 Days of Simple Outfits {Day 9}

Oh you sweet little lacy shirt, you! I always feel super romantic in this outfit, it reminds me of Italy for some reason. The colors are earthy and I love that. It says more with pattern than with color. I feel relaxed wearing this and yet whimsical. Relaxed and whimsical...some advertising person should add those words to their marketing strategies. ;)

I'm working on the house today, specifically my son's bedroom. We have some new furniture coming, thanks to my sister's move, and I need to make sure we have the space for it. His room's been needing a re-do for awhile but it's been on my back-burner; time for it to take the lead in my priorities.

Do you have clothes that remind you of other countries?

31 Days of Simple Outfits {Day 8}

This is one of two scarves I have in my fall set of 33 items. I adore this scarf! It goes with so many outfits, it's soft and large enough to create many different styles. It's also versatile enough to open as a small blanket if I get really cold, or while traveling. I like how it pulls two solid colored pieces together into an outfit.

The cold front continues. I want to believe it's here to stay and that we have moved officially into Fall, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I've been majorly cleaning out the house and now I've got boxes stacked in the garage waiting for me to go through them or to be loaded up and carried off to Goodwill. I don't have the excuse of it being too hot out there now, so time to get with it.

Do you love wearing scarves?

Today is quiet and cold, just how I love it. Two of my kiddos are sick, so I envision an afternoon full of reading under blankets. This is my favorite denim dress again with a 3/4 sleeve t-shirt underneath. Yes, those tights are pink and may seem super-bright, they don't appear quite so neon when they're on. I like the little hint of color they allow. :)

I'll keep this post short as I need to get back to playing nurse. Wishing you a great day!

What's your favorite sick-at-home activity?

Purple is my favorite. I only have two pieces with purple in my wardrobe but they are well-worn and well-loved. :) Today is still cool, I'm actually COLD in my house which is really nice for someone who's been uncomfortably warm lately. I ended up throwing a cardigan over this outfit because I just needed a bit extra warmth.

This is one of my my happy outfits. It has two bright colors that I love and it just screams the excitement I feel inside about this beautiful change in the weather. I don't know what it is about fall...it may have something to do with the fact I met my husband in Autumn. And we were married a year later in the winter ~ outrunning a winter storm the whole way from our reception to our honeymoon. So yes, cooler days remind me of these sweet memories and I can't help but smile.

Do you have a "happy" color?

Today is supposed to be cool and downright cold tonight (at least cold for those of us in midwest U.S.). I am like a kid on holiday, I shine in cooler weather. See, even the word, cooler, reveals that it's "cool". Falling temperatures are my signal to pull out my favorite thick tights and pair them with a fun, flippy outfit. And boots of course, you canNOT forget the boots; they're a fall staple!

This would be fun for an outing to the museum or the pumpkin patch. It's presentable enough to look dressed up but comfy enough for me. Favorite denim dress + beloved button-down + fun speckled tights = fall perfection.

What's your go-to item in the fall?
