NO SOCKS WITH THESE BOOTS
I had a fantastic visit over the weekend with my sister and my mother. The vintage fashion show was super fun and Winnwood Retirement Community is a gorgeous setting. They have a chef that creates the BEST dishes that are not only delicious but so pretty. As we got ready to leave they had someone playing the piano in the lounge area and they were setting up for a wine and cheese party. I think I am going to be putting in my application soon.
I had a great surprise at the show when one of my blog readers showed up. I knew that she might come and I recognized her the minute she came through the door. Michelle has such style and I commented on her post one day. She was surprised that I had noticed her and I was surprised she even knew who I was. Lol! After the show was over, we had a picture made together. I am not sure why she still looks so fresh and I look like I am worn out. Hahaha. I guess the stress of the show must have got to me, at least that is my story and I am sticking to it.
This is the same color palette that I wore on Saturday when I got a ton of comments. I am just letting you know that I expect just as many comments today. Just because I didn’t mess up the outfit today doesn’t mean that you can’t comment. The textured sleeveless top is one that I bought at Ann Taylor. I bought it for the color (can be worn with anything) and because of the texture. It took an ordinary top and made it special. This sweater is one that I will be able to wear multiple times, with a blazer or jacket and then again in the summer since it is sleeveless.
You are probably getting tired of seeing me wear this jewelry over and over again. I think these are my favorites from this new fall catalog supplement. I love the Jaycee earrings and the Davina necklace. I don’t know if it is the combination of the gold and cream beads or if it is the gold dangle accents that intrigue me. I also added the Ashlyn bracelet that matches that set and then I added a Kate Spade bangle that I ordered a month ago. The Clarissa necklace is the “kitchen sink” long style necklace. It is adjustable up to 35″ and it has a lot of charms that dangle from it, including a chunk of quartz.
The camel colored pants are from Old Navy. I have had this pair for at least two years and I am still really liking them. They are the stretchy Pixie Pants so I sized up when I bought them. I buy my normal size when I buy the chino style and I size down when I buy the Harper. Lol! SO, no socks showing today! Are you happy???? Lol! This leather pair of knee boots is at least two years old. I bought them at TJ Maxx and then don’t have a name brand on them, they only say, “Italian Leather.”
Finishing up the outfit is my long duster cardigan from Old Navy. When I wore this the other day my DIL came over and she had on the same cardigan but in gray. Lol! I told her she had good taste. I am not sure when I bought this sweater, it might have been last year. Burgundy/wine or shades of those colors are always “in” for fall. This year they are going more toward Raspberry but this color still works. I don’t normally button my cardigans or jackets so the ones without buttons work great for me. I do, however, like a pocket on my cardigans.
I know that you have been watching me post about Rodan + Fields for a year now. I’d like to ask you a favor…When you run out of your current skincare products, I want you to think of me, contact me, and JUST TRY Rodan and Fields for 60 days! It’s guaranteed, so if you don’t love it, you simply return the empty bottles for a full refund. You have nothing to lose and I’m sure you’ll love these products! I watched my friend for months before I ordered but when it came time to re-order I called her and asked if there was a discount for consultants. I knew that I would be using these products from now on and I wanted the absolute best price I could get. Interested? Join me tonight with Iris Thompson, RFX circle achiever.

Have you ever wondered why I would ask you to sign up for my email subscription? I know that you may access me from another way like FaceBook or Instagram but “brands” like to see a large email subscription list. So, I am asking you to sign up if you don’t mind, it would really help me. The comment section is at the end of the post, so keep scrolling. I look forward to reading all the comments, they make my day. Be sure to follow me on Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.

I love this outfit. It’s my colors if the sweater is toward rust. The socks comments are funny. Personally I think the peep toed boots are cute, but I almost always want socks on, so I love boots that accommodate socks.
You know I don’t think you look as worn out as you think you do. We are our own worst critics! But, yes, your friend does look very stylish! Glad the show went well since I know those kind of events take a lot more work than anyone realizes until they do one themselves!

That’s what I said! She always looks amazing!
I love this outfit!!! I bought the pants and a long blue cardigan (because the other color was sold out). I also bought the two necklaces and the earrings. Then, I found a few tops on Cato to go underneath the cardigan and to complete other looks. I can’t wait to get the items you inspired me to buy! You always look so great!
You look fabulous darling! You always help me put my colors together. Thanks.
Tania, you always look great! Love this outfit!!
How fun that you got to meet one of your readers! And yes she’s cute! Wish I’d been there! Today’s outfit is really classic and as always, you look lovely. Clarissa is my daughter’s name and I tried to buy her the necklace. It she runs a gym and told me she’d never wear it but thanked me. So I bought it for myself!
Another one bites the dust! Great outfit I love your blog. You show such great fashion ideas. Have a great day! !!
Oh, wow! This entire outfit is something I would wear! It looks great on you and I must get to Old Navy to try the pixie pants that you mention frequently.
Love this outfit and love the colors! So cute.
Love the casual but polished look!
