Since it’s been like summer here since about June, I’ve worn this cute blouse from Loft so many times!  It is a perfect on trend color, and looks like I’m at least trying to dress for fall, but it’s still good for the 80+ degree weather we’re having.  This time, I paired it with my all time  favorite Rag and Bone jeans (also seen here). I know that some people think I shouldn’t wear ripped jeans, but I love them, and always have, so I wear what I want!  I’ve had the cute beaded necklace by Lush Jewelry since last fall, and it adds a great pop of color to the blouse.  My bag…what can I say about Stella McCartney, it is perfection!  My booties are Vince Camuto, making this is a great high-low outfit for sure.  I think a good bag always elevates an outfit, even at the pumpkin patch!

For years, I’ve been trying to buy one investment piece every season, usually it ends up being a pair of shoes or a bag.  As I’ve said before, I have shoes and bags that I’ve had for 12 – 15 years and I still wear them every season.  Some things just never go out of style.  One day, I’ll have quite a collection that hopefully my girls will want to wear!  I have sold a few pieces, including a pair of red patent leather Roger Vivier flats, that I really wish I still had.  I’ve been seeing them on fashion blogs and in magazines everywhere, oh well, lesson learned.  It’s a little scary that I have my own vintage haha!

I’ve been embracing the season as much as possible with my outfits, decor and cooking.  I picked out pumpkins for the front porch while were there, I’ve taken out my Halloween witches, I’ve made several things with pumpkin and I’ve got a Thanksgiving decorating post coming soon!  Last night for dinner, I made the most wonderful and easy chicken recipe, Chicken with Leeks and Lemon, that I’ll also be sharing.  If you hurry, there is still a picture on my Insta Stories!  I’ve also got a recipe for Sweet Potato Sausage balls that I’m so excited to share (think spicy andouille sausage)!

As I’m writing this, I’m also chasing my 2 year old grandson, Hudson!  If this post seems a little all over the place, it’s because I’m all over the place, literally carrying my computer from room to room!  Happy Monday and have a great day!  

Here are a few of my favorite pieces from Loft as well as links for my long lost Roger Vivier shoes!
