My Go-To Fall Outfit


I would say that about 75% of my Fall outfits consist of a comfy sweater, skinny jeans, and boots.  It's easy, comfortable and usually pretty cute.  I say "usually" because sometimes the sweater I'm wearing is just one of my numerous Under Armour, Nike or The North Face hoodies.  I will NEVER give up my hoodies!  But, for fashion's sake, I will try to designate those for wearing around the house.  Anyway, I love the print on this sweater from Lulu's.  I think it's fun, without being too "teenager"...if you know what I mean.

Sweater: c/o Lulus, Jeans: Old Navy, Tee: c/o Kingdom & State, Boots: Bass Outlet

Also, I have heard some people mention they don't like the fit of Old Navy's jeans any more...I don't know why, because they are my new favorite jeans!  Well...once I figured out the right size.  I bought a pair that were a "Long" size, but when I got them they were still too short for me.  I returned those, ordered a "Tall" and when I tried them on they were the perfect length!  I had to order online, because they don't carry the Long or Tall sizes in the store (which is a huge bummer for us tall people).  

What is your "go-to" outfit for Fall?

I Love a Good Blog Meet-up!


Alycia, Me, Kelsey, Diana

My favorite part of blogging is meeting people and making new friends.  There are a lot of blogging friends that I haven't had the opportunity to meet in real life, but it sure is fun when I get the chance to see familiar bloggers up close and personal!  Last weekend I was able to attend two awesome events: a Passionfruit Ads mixer and Gentri Lee's Blogger Beauty Night Out. 

Please excuse this horrible picture of me.

It was so great to meet the incredible Mr. Passionfruit in person.  Jason is so creative, smart and talented!  The Passionfruit mixer was super fun and I'm so glad I was able to go.  It also helped that there was an abundance of Diet Coke and a chocolate fountain...now that's my kind of party!

Kelsey Bang and my sister-in-law Kathy

My sister-in law, Kathy, was nice enough to join me and I'm so happy she did.  Kathy is super fun and outgoing...everyone kept telling her that she needed to start a blog (and I agree). 


Next up was the Blogger's Beauty Night Out, hosted by my sweet blog friend Gentri.   She is starting her career as an esthetician, so she invited us to come check out A La Mode Salon (located in Draper, UT).  There were makeovers, treats, prizes (I won a cute pair of Cheerfully Charmed earrings!) and of course lots of mingling!

Prizes from Cheerfully Charmed, (kno)name, Perfectly Posh, and Pixie Pie Jewelry

It was such a fun night and I can't wait to meet up with these beautiful ladies again!
