Today I'm on my fourth day in Orlando for a much needed vacation.  Here are some pieces I would have taken with me if I had no budget. Click on the products in the image below to shop.

Don't worry, I don't actually wear these shoes outside in Winter. I walk in flats and change into them once I'm inside where it's warm.  This is a "casual" weekend outfit, I added the shoes to feel a bit more dressed up, but they didn't stay on long.

We enjoyed a freezing cold few days this past weekend, I'm getting rather tired of the cold but at least I still get to wear all my sweaters! I am looking forward to warmer temperatures though, but I would be fine with 60s.

Another day, another outfit, another blazer.  I do love my blazers, definitely an addiction. Whenever I see a new one I want to buy it, most of the time I resist.  A couple weeks ago I inherited this gorgeous topaz and diamond necklace from my Grandmother and I never want to take it off. It is so gorgeous and makes me feel like I always have her with me. I can visit her whenever I want since she lives next door, but it's fun to have a piece she used to wear.

I'm still getting used to my short hair so, for this outing, I tried a mini french braid in front to keep the shorter hairs out of my face. I find it easier than using a barrette, I can never get them to stay properly. BUT then when I take it out I have crazy kinky hair. Funny that I used to WANT my hair to look like that back when I was in middle school. It was all the rage! So for gymnastics I would french braid my hair, and then take it out for school the next day.

This past Saturday I had a date night with Christine and Lydia thanks to Marshalls! They sent a gift card to a local restaurant, Outriggers, and a gift card to buy an outfit!  I went shopping a couple weekends ago and narrowed it down to two outfits - see the shopping post here.  On the actual day I decided to go with my leather skirt option...sans tights.  It was a little cold, but definitely worth it for my fun look!

We started off our date by going to the restaurant to take photos before it got too dark. Then we headed to Marshalls which was only 2 minutes from the restaurant to do some shopping. I picked up a fun Christmas bowl, rice cooker and another little bowl while Lydia did some of her Christmas gift shopping!  Then we headed back to the restaurant for our meal, which was delicious!

My two lovely dates for the evening:

Kenar Sweater - $24.99 at Marshalls, compare at $50
Sans Souchi Skirt - $12.99 at Marshalls, compare at $18
Other items: Miu Miu sandals (eBay), Chanel purse,  Skagen watch (Rue La La), vintage & Mom's rings, Gorjana Griffin necklace (c/o), Acanthus 'Gemma' necklace (giveaway),  old necklace and coat from Lydia

I sported this look two weekends ago when I went to Lydia's to help clean out her closet. Man, that girl has a lot of clothes! ;) We got rid of a ton and her closet was still stuffed, but it was definitely a good start.  After that we headed to the thrift store to drop off some of her stuff and then we took some photos in the town center.  Fall is always a great time of year for photos, even if it's a little chilly.

Be prepared for a photo overload today!

I wore this the same weekend as my birthday brunch when my family went to the pumpkin patch - a tradition of ours, though we hadn't all been in a couple years.  I went straight from my Aunt's house (I was there the night before for a massage and movie night) so I didn't have time to change into old boots, luckily my new ones made it through okay after I wiped them down.

I always love the pumpkin patch.  The place we go has beautiful views and tons of pumpkins to choose from.  In addition to my pumpkin I also bought a bunch of adorable gourds to put on the mantel above the fireplace!

More photos from the pumpkin patch by a bunch of us:

I wore this to my sort-of birthday brunch with Lydia and Christine this past weekend.  They were so kind and each brought me a present! Christine gave me an ADORABLE elephant necklace which I promptly put on and Lydia gave me an Anthropologie dress I had seen at a thrift store months ago and mentioned in this post.  Unfortunately the necklace broke when I was at my aunt's house, which was unfortunate. :(

After brunch we headed to one of our favorite shopping destinations - Coco's! They were having a 50% off dresses sale and luckily I found 2 great dresses. One that had no brand, which I bought for $10 and THEN I got the ultimate score - a Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress for $34!

I'm finally wearing my new-to-me Chanel skirt that I bought a couple months ago. It is a weird grey/purple color but I think it's more purple than grey. And be ready to see a lot of this sweater again this year.  I wore it to death last Fall/Winter and this one will be the same.  I wore it twice in one weekend so you'll see another outfit with it shortly. Check out my adorable new owl coin purse! My sister got one a couple years ago at a Renaissance Fair and I had been jealous ever since. Imagine my surprise when she gave me a purple one for my birthday this year!
