My Fall Uniform

November 19, 2014

My fall uniform is a novelty sweater, button down shirt, skinny jeans and riding boots. I love this sweater. I purchased it from J.Crew a few years ago. It’s not a giant furry monster! This image is a Parisian woman donning a fur coat, hat and gloves. Isn’t she fabulous! The pants are the Rockstar fit from Old Navy and are super comfy.

What’s your go to look for fall?

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday! The weather has finally cooled down in Seattle and it’s been raining non-stop. I hope everyone had a good week. My weekend will consist of catching up with friends and visiting the pumpkin patch on Sunday after the Seahawks game.

Boots Made For Walkin

October 20, 2014

A few years ago I bought the cutest pair of ankle boots. I wore them for a couple weeks and then developed significant pain in both of my big toes. It was unbearable. Shortly after I went to the doctor and was told I had tendinitis in my toes and should wear a supportive shoe with a rigid sole (something like clogs).

I’ve tried almost every comfort shoe under the sun. Last year I purchased two pairs of Dansko sandals (worn in this post) and a Dankso ankle boot. Both are great and comfortable. However, when it comes to boots, I prefer something with a lower heel and a streamlined appearance. My Dankso boot is 4 inches tall!

A few weeks back, I stumbled on a pair of Dr.Scholl’s booties on Zappos. A lot of Dr. Scholl’s have a rigid foot bed and look more contemporary then what I’m used to for comfort shoes. I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and inexpensive they were. As recommended, I sized up a half size. I wear a 7 1/2 and purchased an 8.

If you have any other stylish comfort shoe recommendations, please leave them in the comments.

Fall Preparation

My personal style is best represented through classic fall pieces. I love wearing a button down shirt with a pull over sweater and a statement necklace; pairing riding boots with denim or cords and being bundled up in a classic coat (I have the sandstone).

If you love preppy fashion, then be sure to check out the Brooks Brothers Red Fleece collection. It is adorable! There are so many pieces I am coveting, like this embroidered cotton dog pattern shirt.

To get in the spirit of all things preppy, here are some inspirational photos with links to items that are similar.
