Fashion for Fall

I think I've only posted about clothing as many times as I can count on one hand...maybe less. But lately I've been drawn to blogs that throw in a little current fashion. Don't worry, you won't find me snapping pics of myself daily, showing you what I'm wearing...cause let's face it, pajamas or yoga pants aren't all that interesting after the tenth time you'd see them. But I think it's fun to see what people choose to wear. What do clothes really have to say about a person? And besides, we know each other's houses, decor, even what we like to cook.

So...what are your go-to clothes on a normal day out? 

(I'm sure you all realize this isn't me...)

Ralph Lauren Fall 2011

This last six months I've dropped close to 20 pounds.Yes, I still need to take off another 10 or so, but I'm on the road. I'm 5 foot nothin' so 20 is like a miracle for me. Because of that, I'm having a little more fun thinking about what I wear. I'm basically a person that wants to be comfortable. I don't like fussy or fancy. Oh, I love a ruffle and some lace, but usually it's on a top with a pair of jeans. Bury me in my stretch jeans please. I'll be comfortable.

I even gave in to the colored denim trend this Fall...

pumpkin please...

also, brown and black.

And then there was the day I went out looking for a denim shirt.

...and came home with 3 of them.

Also need several of these...

And I identify with Nora Ephron

may she rest in peace.

I'm not happy with my neck...

Good grief, over 50 sometimes is a bummer.

So I wear a bunch of these

(just only one at a time)

 a basic black sweater

or a tailored white shirt.

gotta have some leopard in a cardigan

then give me a pair of boots...

And just this weekend 

I added one of these for those chilly drizzly days.

Now, do you know me a little better?

what about you,

what's your style?

"Hooked" on Wool Pillows for Fall

Last weekend my sister and our friend, Susan, made our annual visit to the Ozark Crafts Festival held every first full weekend in October. We always look forward to it, and we've said the only way not to go is if you had a legitimate excuse like being in the hospital or worse. We go, no matter what, and this year the "no matter what" about froze us to death. It was rainy and drizzly and only in the low 40's but nothing would keep us from our kettle corn, sugared nuts, corndogs and aisles and aisles of crafts, antiques, and loads of Fabulous Fall Fun. That's the phrase my sister coined to describe all the junk we love to do this time of year.

I found some more of the costly bittersweet, and a few other goodies, but my fave purchase of the day was this wonderful hooked wool pillow of a pumpkin with a crazy vine, and a black crow. Just the perfect addition to the Sun Porch Fall decor.

This was my purchase last year;

An adorable curly sheep on a great tan plaid.

And this from the year before.

I think I've started something here.

Here are a few other fun Hooked Wool Fall Pillows that you'll find on my newly created Pinterest board, "Happy Hooking".  Hope you'll come by my Pinterest Page and follow along. If you pin any of these next three images please go to the original source on my Pinterest Board. thanks bunches!

Hope you're having a wonderful week,

enjoying all the goodness of Fall.
