Fall Goodies

What are you buying this fall? I hear the same mantra everywhere I go:

Military, Lace, Plaid.

Military, Lace, Plaid.

Miliplary, Place, Tad. Oh shit.

Do you understand now how my grocery trips get so complicated? When you're trying to remember "eggs, rice milk, orange chicken, bread" you're just bound to screw up.

Some pretties I have had my eye on for this fall:


Everything on this board is $50 or less - mostly from my home away from home, Old Navy.

What fall style are you yearning for?

The School Run

The urge to throw on sweats and a hoodie is one I fight every day of every fall and winter season. It is really so tempting to wear the Old Reliables, but with my oldest boy in school, I have been trying to make an effort to NOT look like I just rolled out of bed.

This kind of outfit is my goal, a cute shirt with pants or jeans, a comfy cardigan for chilly mornings, and non-athletic shoes. I also happen to LOVE the tank with its rich, saturated color and lovely ruffles. You don't even need jewelry with that kind of detail, but I've included some on the board because I might be going to get coffee with a girlfriend after the school run ;D


Every item on this list is either under $50 or you can find a similar item for under $50.

Frugal Fall Finds

I have been thinking a lot about fall. Like, "I hate this f***ing hot weather, can it be fall already?" or, "I'm dreading all the holidays coming in the fall because daddy won't be around this time" or, "I wonder what cute fall clothes there are out there?"

Since there's nothing I can do about the first two, I figured I'd check out what my home away from home, a.k.a. Old Navy, has for this fall season. I'd love to say that my home away from home is Anthropologie, but let's face it, I can't afford their shit. Or rather, I can afford ONE piece of clothing, if it's on sale. Or I can afford their $6-$10 mugs.

I put together this little board because my mother is stuck in a black/white rut (for decades!) and although she wants to start wearing things in the brown/tan/camel color range, she has no idea where to start. If you are looking for some warm cozy goodness, here are some ideas:

Fall style from Old Navy

I put together this little board as a challenge to myself - you know how they say not to buy a new piece of clothing unless you have three or more outfits to coordinate with. In this case, I aimed for four:



Every single piece is from Old Navy, a further challenge. What do you think?
