Fall Amazon Fashion Favorites
Happy Friday! I hope you have had a great week. Today we’re back with our monthly favorite fashion finds from Amazon. It seems they keep up’ing their game as far as nice quality, affordable fashion. Now that the weather feels like fall, it is the perfect time to show you the sweaters (and sweatshirts) I ordered for the season. They had some really great items, everything I ordered was worth sharing.
Sweater | Leggings | Similar Boots | V-neck Tee | Phone Case
This beige sweater was by FAR my favorite thing I have to share (though I may say that at another point so don’t hold me to it). I have worn it pretty much every day since it arrived. It’s reasonably priced at under $30 and it is made of a nice quality, super soft yarn. It’s not too hot and it’s kind of perfectly slouchy so it just feels comfortable. You can see it casual above or a more dressed up look below. FYI–the color I ordered was “light pink” and it is actually very beige. I don’t mind but just so you know.

Friday Favorite Finds: Fall Decor
How's that for a title with a lot of F's? Today I was scheduling Facebook posts of our previous fall home tours; my favorite is probably Amy's fall home tour from last year (here).

What to Wear for a Fun Night Out on the Town
I had so much fun putting together this post. It is definitely a bit outside our normal over forty/conservative-ish fashion parameters but the hardest time to figure out what to wear can be with evening or special events. Most of us have some sort of a daytime uniform like cardigans, jeans … [Read More...]
My Daughter’s New Tween Room (Again!)
One thing that seems to be constant around our house is redecorating! That is fortunate for my daughter because when she decides that despite being sure she wanted an aqua bedroom last year, now when she wants to paint her room blush I’ll probably be on board with the change. She’s lucky I … [Read More...]
