There Is A Chill In The Air...

Whoa!  I made the mistake of being outside yesterday when the cold front ye ole weatherman has been promising arrived as promised... Whoa!

The temperature dropped about 30 degrees in about 30 minutes!  Whoa!

Fortunately, I was close to home so inside I quickly raced.

So what is a girl to do on a Saturday morning when the temps have dipped into the cooler range for the first time?  Celebrate with a lovely cashmere turtleneck, that's what.

I got this wonderful number last winter.  I can see it in regular rotation this year.  It is so soft.

The only thing... the color is a little vibrant for me.

It is certainly an attention grabber.  Hee Hee

Of course, I am not one that shies away from "attention grabbing" articles of clothing so I am sure you will see this one again.

What do you think?
So after I settled on the sweater it was time to decide on what to pair it with.

Pneumonia had me down for so long that it seems like all I wore the whole month of September was a pair of pajamas so I really wanted to go with one of my beloved pencil skirts today.

How could I go wrong with this one?

Don't you just love the cute little pattern in the slit?

Besides, I think they make a perfect pair.  How about you?

To keep things a little more "casual" I opted to leave the sweater untucked.

Truthfully, I have tried tucking this sweater in and it just doesn't work. 

Another reason that it may see fewer spots in the rotation than its cashmere loveliness probably deserves.

To finish things off I decided to pull out some well worn favorites. 

These tall brown boots are made by Born.  If you read my blog at all you are probably aware of how much I appreciate Born.  They are fabulous.  Simply the most comfortable boot you will ever wear.

If you do not own a pair of Born boots I highly recommend that you get a pair.  They will serve you well for years to come.

Don't believe me, take a look at the toes on these.  Hee Hee

The only bad thing, they are so "well worn" that they just are not suitable for work anymore.  I really need to find a new pair of brown boots for the office.  Hmmmm

Well, the finished outfit looks like this...

What do you think?

So my day... real quick...

Pretty boring.  Got up early, went and actually did a light workout.  Very light, my strength is still on the rebound.

Returned home, dressed and headed out for brunch with a couple of friends.  A little grocery shopping (you would be surprised what you are in need of after having not been home for several days), a couple of errands and then back home.

I wish I had some interesting interactions to share but I really do not.

One thing I did notice as I moved around Dallas today...

FALL IS HERE... at least in the fashion world.

Burgundy in every shade.  Boots.  My fellow Dallas ladies have been stocking up and waiting for today.

Great looks all!  Go Dallas!

Saturday & Sunday...

Hey Guys!!!! 

Surprise, surprise... I have BOTH outfits that I wore/am wearing this weekend in today's post!  Whoo Hoo!!

Unfortunately, I am not terribly "inspired" today in terms of what I might have to say.  Many of you are thinking... "Finally!"  Hopefully at least some of you are thinking... "Dangit!"

Saturday was mostly work followed by a few errands near the end of the day.  I have left comments on many blogs regarding my favorite Saturday attire and yesterday was one such day.

Leather pants and a great sweater.  This really is my "go to" combination at this time of the year.

Here is what I wore to the office & then out for errands:

Bright enough for you?  I am not certain that I am "sold" on this sweater just yet.  What do you think?  I did get a few interesting looks while out & about yesterday but that could have been the pants and not the sweater at all.  Who knows?

I did not tuck it it.  I felt like the bottom of this sweater is really best left out.  It's a little more casual worn that out anyway.  Should have I tucked?

Love these shoes but I don't really think they are appropriate with a skirt (at least not at work) so they do not get a lot of wear.

Do you like them paired with the leather pants?

And the complete ensemble...

Today has been an ordinary Sunday.

I got up this morning, did my workout and then dressed for church.  I rarely bother to change once I have dressed for the day so I am sitting here in my apartment "over dressed" by most people's standards.

What can I say, I like to be "over dressed".  If you have read my blog at all that comes as no surprise.

Here is what I am wearing today:

You have seen this skirt before.  I intentionally chose a demure sweater to pair with it as I did not want anything to take away from the hem line.  I think it is gorgeous.  So "girly".

These shoes... well, these shoes... LOVE!

And the finished look...

As I said, not really very inspired today.  Actually a little tired.  Going to catch up on the last few episodes of "Pretty Little Liars" that I have on the DVR and call it a day.  Not a big TV watcher but that is a show that caught my eye several months ago.  I am now addicted.  Yes, I know it really isn't for adults.  Hee Hee.  Have you watched though, it certainly isn't for kids either.

Have A Great Week!
