Shoes, Boots And A Little Bit Of Statement

I have a big fault, it's shoes and boots, what women doesn't?  I keep my buying under control by not paying full price for them, and waiting until they go on sale or I have coupons (don't leave home without them!).  If they're not in the store when I go back to scoop them up, then I chalk it up to "they were not meant to be" and probably would hurt my feet (that always makes me feel better, saying that to myself). I love shoes and the cuter or sassier the better.  Shoes are the accessory that will make your outfit, along with jewelry.  Just wearing jeans? Put on an adorable pair of shoes, it draws the eye and people will notice!

Two Tone Gold Metallic Flats ($19.99) and Black, Small Platform Pumps with 3 1/2 Inch Heel ($34.99) -both at Marshall's

 I have wanted these boots for so long and finally found a pair at Target.  Black slip on Chelsea Boot on sale for $31.78.  They are so comfortable and stylish. 

 A Christmas gift from the hubby - black and white polka dot boots for rain or working in the yard. Just rinse them off with a hose. (My secret want - Red Gloss Hunter Boots, my birthday is coming up!)

I have a pair of Cognac riding boots and a pair of black riding boots but wanted a brown pair.  I found them at Famous Footwear on sale for $69.99, and lucky me I had a $10.00 off coupon.  They have a lot of give in the calf area with the extra elastic in the back.

 Something extra - I found this gold and turquoise beaded statement necklace and gold filigree bracelet at Kohl's, on sale of course.  The necklace was originally $28.00 on sale for $5.60, and the bracelet was originally $24.00 on sale for $4.80, score for me!

Cozying Up To Fall

Yes, it is my favorite time of year!  I love everything about Fall, spicy aromas of burning candles, fire pit bonfires, pumpkins, corn, candy corn, corn stalks, mums, sweaters, boots, scarves, the fresh smelling cooler air, all of it and more.  I was a winter baby, but am drawn to this season for some reason.  The temperatures and leaves are dropping here in the east, and it won't be long before the snow appears.  I already started looking in my closet and putting together outfits for the season.  Check out what I pieced together.

White jeans, you can now wear all year round!  No season banning for this staple in your wardrobe.

I paired them with a long camel tunic sweater, riding boots, a rust and leopard print scarf, and gold jewelry

 Dark wash skinny jeans, sequined olive, black and gold tank, olive jacket, gold scarf and brown moto boots

 Boyfriend jeans, white snake skin embossed t-shirt, black leather studded jacket, houndstooth black and red scarf, black open toe shoeties

I've Got The Skinny On the Leggings

I got the lowdown on these leggings that everyone is wearing, I thought I would give them a try.  Fall and Winter are staring us down here in the Northeast, the trees are already turning and it's only August! Soon it will be time to bundle up and stay cozy, with leggings, sweaters and boots.  I love the look, and it's been around for some time now.  I found this pair of leggings at BBB and used my $5.00 off a $15.00 or more purchase.  The price for the leggings was $19.99 but came down to $14.99 using my coupon.  I can never say it enough, USE COUPONS, you want your money in your pocket. I put together some outfits with my leggings by layering other pieces in my wardrobe, check them out.

These are the leggings in black.  They have a high waist, are made very well, and have a lot of spandex.  They fit snug, make you  look slimmer, hide a multitude of sins (body flaws), and you can't see through them, that is a good thing!

I paired them with a heathered gray long sleeve top and my riding boots.  Then I just fancy tied a gold scarf around the neck.

Took off the gold scarf, added a royal blue drape sweater, and then added a rolled neck scarf.

 Took off the royal blue drape sweater, put on a red drape sweater, then added a black and white infinity scarf with pom pom ball fringe.  All easy, versatile pieces.  If it gets too warm remove the sweater or the scarf and you still have a cute updated outfit.
