Shop My Look:
A collared shirt and sweater is a favorite combo of mine. It is a classy yet casual look, plus it adds an extra layer of warmth in the winter. My button down shirt is a favorite.
[And, a funny, well really not funny story... if you notice in the close-up picture with the watch and leopard calf hair pouch, my wedding rings are not on my finger. Midway through taking pictures, I put some lotion on my hands. As usual, I took off my rings to put on the lotion. Well, I forgot to put my rings back on my hand. Fast forward to after taking pictures - I am in the car ready to drive home - all of sudden I think - where are my rings???? I could not find them. After a little panic and searching, I found them in the back pocket of my jeans. (And, if only this was the first time. Over my years of marriage, I have managed to wash them (in the washing machine - full cycle) and another time, I put them on top of my luggage at the airport and then walked to my flight only to realize I had dropped the rings somewhere along the way (on a terrazzo floor!) - good news I found them - and those are only a couple of stories - there are more!)
Funny Outtakes
That one strand of hair that continually wanted to blow across my face - even though it wasn't even a windy day, or my eyes shut...
HA! I "lose" my wedding rings all of the time too. When we first got our kitten (over 15 years ago), I was convinced that she swallowed them. I called the vet and I could tell they were trying to humor me. I found them about an hour later. It's such a panicky feeling though. And I love this sweater and the leopard. I am into mustard this season. I just wish I looked better in it. You have the perfect complexion and hair color for it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tracy. I would never think that yellow is my color - but it works, and then there are other colors I wish I could wear that I can't.
DeleteFirst - thanks for the tip on the longer Halogen tees at Nordstrom! I am going to order one to try it out. Also, that's a bummer that the style design on the Essential shirts doesn't work for you anymore! I hate when a company changes the style or discontinues one of my staple items! Your outfit is a total classic and that mustard shade was made for your coloring. Glad you found your rings - what a relief!

Your are welcome - I hope it works. I know - I always wonder why brands change up items that seem to be working.
DeleteThose are great boots!!! Your outtakes are my favourite part of your posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deena. The outtakes seem to the easiet part of taking outfit photos - they are just so natural. Glad you get a kick out of them. I do, too.
DeleteLove the color of your sweater!

Me, too. It was scary for a minute as I tried to think what I might have done with them!
DeleteI'm glad you found your rings, thank goodness! I love this look--it's so classic, but the fun color of that sweater makes it special, as does the zipper on the back!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shea! I am glad I did not loose them.
DeleteI was already loving the mustard sweater and then you killed me even more with the zipper! So fab!

DeleteI love that cute leopard clutch. And mustard really suits you.
ReplyDeleteThat leopard clutch is great because I use it as a make up bag for everyday - and then can use it on special occasion as a fun clutch.
Deletei love your sweater! It's the perfect shade of yellow! :)
