Fall Color Challenge of Chocolate and Cream with Ageless Style.

It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge. This month Amy picked styling a fall color challenge with chocolate brown and cream for our ageless style group. 

I actually have two very different looks to share today; one more dressy and one more casual. For the dressier outfit I paired one of my favorite cream sweaters with a new pair of wide legged pants from my latest Stitch Fix box. 

I love these pants! They are so comfy and while you can't tell in the photo they have a very subtle plaid print on them. I paired them with a pair of brown boots and some jewelry in shades of brown. 





For my second outfit I paired one of my favorite chocolate brown sweaters from an old Stitch Fix box with a new pair of flared jeans I recently got. I kept the same jewelry but swapped out my boots for a pair of chocolate brown booties. 





I like both outfits a lot but I'm much more likely to wear the second outfit... with a pair of flip flops. Like I changed into immediately after our hike.😊

    The cream colored sweater in the first set of pictures is really pretty! The jeans are flattering. I like both outfits :).

    I love both of those outfits! I recently bought some wide leg pants, but I have yet to wear them. I feel like they don't look great on me.

      I don't feel like wide-leg pants look great on me either but they are so nice and comfy that I just can't help wearing them anyway.

    You look great in both outfits. I know the second outfit is more 'you', but I love the first outfit, especially those pants!

    I think that chocolate brown is the quintessential fall color-just love it and love that sweater on you!

    You crack me up that you still wear flip flops in November, LOL. Love that you showcased two fabulous looks.

      Thanks so much! Though it is getting colder and colder so my flip flop days are definitely numbered.

    I like them both. I'm always reminding my stitch fix stylist that it's warm here. Send me something that says winter but feels like spring : )

      And I'm always reminding them it's cold here... and yet they still sent a short sleeved top in this box anyway! I kept it for spring (it had elastic puffed sleeves so I couldn't really wear it under anything either).

    Obsessed with the dressier option! The wide leg pants are perfect on you and that top!!!!! I love the neckline detail because it just elevates the look from casual to interesting and fancy. Well done!

    Oh, my goodness! I had to laugh at your flip flop comment! I love both of your outfits. It's interesting they both came from Stitch Fix boxes...or just a happy little accident!

      I feel like a lot of my "favorite" clothes at this point have come from Stitch Fix boxes and those are the pieces that have lasted through closet clean out year after year too.

    Those sweaters are very nice and look cozy and warm for winter. Not a fan of the jeans though, us folks with short chunky legs can't wear those, nothing worse than little kids at the mall pointing out the obvious. Unless you're Melania Trump, tight flair leg jeans are best left in the charity box.

      Oh I just LOVE flare leg jeans and was so happy to see them come back into style. But I will wear just about any style of jean.

    I've always loved brown, such a warm colour. That sweater is great! Flipflop in this time of year, lol , my feet would freeze off!

      Thanks! We've had a pretty warm November so it's pretty unusual for me to still get to wear them but I am definitely not complaining about it.

    That brown sweater looks so cozy! If it were in my closet I would be wearing it on repeat.

    Lol I love that you put your flip-flops right back on. It's good to have those things we love like that. Both outfits are so cute, but I love that brown sweater!

    You and your flip flops make me smile. That first sweater is so feminine and flirty. Really pretty and chic. That outfit would be perfect for date night, a fancy date night. The second outfit is darling. I like the shirttail hem on the sweater, and its longer, covering the bootie length. I'm like you, I would wear the second outfit more often but it is nice having choices!!

    You look lovely in both outfits but my favourite has to be the jeans and sweater. Got to rock the flip-flops! Comfort at its best lol. :)

    I really like those two sweaters: the first one reminds me of one I wore this past week and I love the marbled look of the second. Nice choice of accessories too!

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn

10 on the 10th... on the 8th

Image
 Since the 10th falls on a Sunday this month (and I don't blog on the weekends) I thought I'd share my 10 on the 10th a bit early. I love that it also coincides with Friday Favorites since Marsha's 10 on the 10th is often one of my favorite prompts to answer.  Rather than asking us specific questions this month, Marsha has asked us to share 10 things we like to do or eat in November. I thought I'd actually share 10 of each! Now not everything on my list is something we only like to do or eat in November-- we hike pretty much year round and you better believe that many of our favorite foods are enjoyed throughout the fall/winter season too but I'm sure you won't mind me taking a bit of a creative license with the prompt.  10 Things I like to DO in November: Hiking, of course! Though November isn't as pretty for hiking up here it's still not icy and snowy yet so we get out hiking at least once a week. Typically we need coats, gloves, and hats this time of

This or That: Thanksgiving Edition

Image
 I'm getting pretty excited for Thanksgiving tomorrow!  I have all the food prepped and ready to go.  I was going to share my Thanksgiving favorites but really that's mostly just our menu sine I cook and mainly just cook my favorites.  We keep it real simple in our family and don't have the dozens or so dishes that everyone else seems to prepare.  I saw this cute little This or That Thanksgiving Edition and thought it would make a perfect blog post for today.  As always I started with the original...  And here's one with my answers.  I honestly don't know anyone that makes ham for Thanksgiving... ham tends to be either a Christmas or an Easter thing up here (though I do see ham in the stores so I know people must have them).  We have always made a turkey in our family and just a turkey with lots of side dishes (that may or may not change through the years).  We really eat around 2 so between lunch and dinner but we treat it as a late lunch. We tend to eat a later br
