#OOTD – LumberJack Chic

Fall is the perfect time of year to embrace plaids, flannels & everything lumberjack.  Polish your plaid with feminine details like a pearl necklace or lace boot inserts.  Give it an edgy twist with black leggings & a leather jacket.  Or, stay classic and layer your plaid woven with a cable knit cardigan.  Long Live Lumberjack chic

#OOTD – Smart Casual

This afternoon I was invited to join my niece & her Little Flowers group for an afternoon tea.  Instead of wearing a dress I opted for a smart casual outfit – blouse, black pixie’s & open-toed strapped heels. Smart casual is open to interpretation but I view it as polished, informal attire; something that can be worn to dinner, work, church or in this case an afternoon tea.

With little time to get my hair done these days my roots have started to grow & darken.  What else can I do but embrace it!  My new trick for hiding my lovely original dark hairs…pulling the sides into a high bun & curling the rest.

As always – comfortable & effortless housewife style xoxx

#OOTD – Boyfriend Blazer

Every woman should have a go-to blazer in their closet.  Not only is a blazer a timeless essential, but it makes transitioning your wardrobe from summer to fall easier allowing you to layer tanks & dresses.

I love my boyfriend blazer!  I found it at H&M 2 years ago & it has been a staple in my wardrobe ever since.  It’s neutral so it goes with almost every outfit and it’s oversized making it comfortable to wear & easy to layer.

Before walking out the door I threw a leather crossbody over my shoulder & I changed my shoe selection to tan zipper ankle boots.  I rolled the sleeves on my blazer & scrunched the denim to fall just above my boots.  Comfortable & effortless housewife style xoxx
