I spent an afternoon sorting through clothes...now that the cooler temperatures are here to stay....I have discovered I'm in need of some warmer apparel. Not sure how that happened...lol.
Some of these items I've already received...others are on order...so let's dive in & see what my choices are...this sweater is not only adorable...but has to be one of the softest, lightweight, cozy ones I bought. I love it so much...I actually have it in two colours...the brown as show here....and olive green...and I pair them with denims. It's actually a bit longer than it appears...it's my go to comfort sweater....
This is another one I chose in different colours...a soft pink as shown...and off white...with the same navy heart. This sweater is lightweight as well...and not bulky...
A couple of cut T's...great for hanging out! I prefer curved bottoms on tops...as they don't tend to give me that cut in half look...much more slenderizing & flattering than regular, straight cut t's...this one has a v cut in the front and back....
This pretty one has a curved bottom...
I've been searching for a puffy vest...to pair with hooded sweatshirts...without adding a layer of bulk...or feel like I'm stuffed into a marshmallow. This one is perfect.... just the right amount of puff...and warm.
And who doesn't love a velour skirt?? I chose it because I've seen it first hand (paired with the soft turtleneck & shoes below)...and it is more gorgeous in person than in photos. The waist is fully elasticized...and a great look for the holidays...and comfortable!!
I will pair it with this turtle neck...which is so soft...and not tight around the neck...and so pretty...I would not pair it with jeans...but when I saw it paired with the above skirt...it is gorgeous...
And I'll finish off the outfit...with a pair of killer shoes! Not killer as in hard on the feet...but in looks. I'm not one for high heels...but these have such a nice square heel...without being clunky looking...but very dressy on your feet...they are so comfortable and easy to slip on...the shoe material is very lightweight and breathable...
So, what do you think of my choices? Most have arrived already...just waiting on a couple en-route...
I was in the stores the other day...before the fall & Halloween decor can be whisked away...it's full blown Christmas out there! While the next two months are a couple of my favourites...I'm not ready to get into holiday mode just yet! We are looking forward to spending an evening with our newest trick or treater Hallowe'en night...although the long range forecast is calling for rain, That might put a damper on the number of ghosts & goblins having fun! Rumour has it we will be having a little "ladybug" trick or treating!!
This is also a bit of a sad week...as it's been two years since my best friend passed away. Christine was a young gal (as was I) at the time we met & began working together. Over the years (34 to be exact) we shared so many wonderful times, her marriage & birth of her daughters...the loss of her infant son and my eldest daughter...to losing our parents & siblings...birthday & numerous Christmas celebrations...and shopping trips and outings regularly.
Not a day goes by I don't think of her...and miss our time together. I hope she's waiting for me...with a hot cup of tea. I picked up a small plant & visited at the cemetery...she was such a lover of Halloween..I thought the little bat was appropriate.
Rest In Peace my friend....until we meet again...you are loved and missed beyond measure....
Give your loved ones and extra hug today....for tomorrow is not promised.
