I enjoyed this outfit so much a couple weeks ago that I decided to put it on again and take outfit photos to share more details. There's really not much to it, just a dress with a button up blouse on top. When I was at work someone asked me why I was so dressed up. I guess it's because I have been a bit lazy with my outfits lately, but that's what happens during Summer, right? It's so hot you don't want to think about what you're wearing.

On my last trip to Marshalls (when I was shopping for my brownies post) I came across an amazingly soft Max Studio blanket. At only $20, I had to have it. I walked by the pajama section and spotted a maroon pj set by Tahari that was also super soft and once again was only $20. I haven't bought a pajama set in years, I usually just wear an old tshirt (or one of my brothers' old sweaters) and gymnastics sweatpants. It's so nice to have an actual matching set now. No lounge day would be complete without a nice mug of hot chocolate, so I picked up an adorable maroon mug to match the pajamas and some specialty hot chocolate mix. Even my nail polish (OPI) is from Marshalls!
This is how you'll find me on most Fall/Winter days. I love curling up with a blanket in my comfortable clothes with some hot chocolate and a good book or movie. Although I must admit it is usually a movie, I haven't been reading much lately. After we took these photos I settled down on the couch with my family for a Star Trek marathon because my parent's hadn't seen the new ones yet.
Speaking of parents, these photos are by my Dad. Photography is one of his hobbies (along with cars) and we have some of his photographs displayed in the house. I don't know why I haven't had him take my photos before. I guess it's because I feel awkward, we laughed a lot during this shoot. Maybe I'll ask him to do it more often, especially because he's the one with the nice camera, unlike me with my tripod & mid-range Nikon (which I am quite fond of, but it's no DSLR.)

The fall season is here and THE OUTNET.COM knows just how to keep you warm but stylish with this upcoming edit. The brand popular for its perfect blend of cashmere knitting, mink and wool, Missoni will arrive a little later today. Mix and match or simply pile on head-to-toe patterned threads of zigzags, waves and signature stripes.

One of my favorite pieces of clothing has to be jeans. I can never have enough pairs, although I do resist buying them as much as I can. I've got printed jeans, dark jeans, light jeans, colored jeans, distressed, skinny, flared and the list goes on. In 2006, the store Trilogy was launched in London with one simple aim - to find everyone the perfect pair of jeans, in a friendly environment with expert help and advice. They have four locations in London but their online store also ships internationally. Trilogy, sell a range of J Brand Jeans so I thought I would choose a pair and create three different Fall looks! I picked the 485 Skinny In Luxe Sateen Carbon Blue because who can't use a great dark wash skinny jean?
Look 1: The Leather Jacket. Everyone needs a leather jacket in their wardrobe, but you don't need a boring black one. Here I chose a fun purple one to pair with the jeans along with knee-high boots and printed top.
Look 2: The Ankle boots. One of the easiest ways to dress up jeans is with a nice pair of ankle boots. But I kept this look a little more casual with the layered button up and sweater. I think this would be a perfect look for a date night.
Look 3: Leather and Lace. Pairing jeans with lace is a great way to add some femininity to your look and adding a pair of leopard heels gives the look some sassy-ness as well.

The weather is slowly taking a turn to Fall. This week was rather chilly for the most part. People were wearing gloves which I thought was a bit extreme, I was still fine walking in my sweater - still no need for Winter coats yet, people! But I'm excited for the arrival of fall - tights, hot chocolate and sweaters, yay!
