Trendy Turtlenecks

This fall season has surely discovered new trends for the upcoming year as I have been loving on this newer trend of turtlenecks. J.Crew and J.Crew Factory have had many colors that have been out on the floor of the stores from another seasons. I have been waiting for the right moment (fall turning into winter seasons) to finally use my turtlenecks. Using simple colors really capitalize the effect about how to properly uniform the clothing pieces. I love how soft these tissue turtlenecks are, as they are on sale at J.Crew and Factory for less than twenty dollars. In this outfit, I am wearing a black ivory with white stripes tissue turtleneck with a black wool sidewalk skirt and my newest purchase from Target: Women's Bridgette Tall Riding Boots in the color of Cognac. I have been eyeing new brown boots for a while now since they would be going on sale for either Black Friday or for a winter sale. I did a lot of research on different types of riding boots that I would like to order as once I knew I didn't want to spend a lot of money but I wanted quality within these boots. These boots are on sale for thirty five dollars where Target ships for free that runs through December 23rd. My accessory is actually from the Crewcuts in the girl's section of J.Crew Factory. It's a very simple pearl necklace with a classy ribbon to tie around the neck.

 I hope everyone had an amazing Black Friday sale and prepares for Cyber Monday! I can't wait to spend the holidays with family and friends. I hope you all had a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving.  

A New Day in Blue

With finding a nice sweater for the fall season become difficult especially when not many stores carry sweaters until late fall. Finding a quality sweater becomes challenging as some sweaters have different material or fabric. The sweater that I have been obsessing over is from the collection at Target called A New Day. I have talked about other sweaters from this collection that I love such as the Women's Crew Neck Luxe Any Day Pullover. With this crewneck sweater I have the colors of mustard yellow and pink. I bought this Women's Cable Any Day sweater in the color of navy. The selection at Target had wonderful and very versatile colors. I am very impressed with this collections as how the quality of the sweaters can handle wear throughout the day. I bought this sweater a size up in the thought of laying it with a button down but it also was so comfortable to wear alone or by itself. I also wore with this sweater by J.Crew Field Jacket that I love wearing on cold fall days.

A Gold State of Mind blog post displays the sweater if you were curious on which blog post I was talking about. Go check out the collection at Target for A New Day, it will definitely not disappoint you! I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend. Check out a Thanksgiving outfit guideline on Monday!

Easy, Breezy, Beautiful Embroidery

Recently, I have seen so many other bloggers talk about embroidered clothing pieces and I love the fashion that goes with this trend. For months, I have been keeping my eyes out for the "perfect" embroidered piece either at TJ MAXX, Marshalls, Target or J.Crew. With another fashion trend of the bell sleeves also making it's appearance as the shirt that I am wearing, compliments both fashion trends. I've lately been obsessed with the bell sleeves as I have a couple shirts within this style. I luckily found this at J.Crew Factory where I loved that this shirt is super comfortable and the combination of stripes and pieces of embroidery on it. With this outfit, I wore my dark J.Crew toothpick jeans, my grey Hunter boots and kept my jewelry every simple.

This weekend was surely an adventure with spending time with old friends at Central. Now that soccer is done, I have time to do fun things with friends and family and begin to work a ton now. I hope that everyone had a great weekend and November has officially started.

A Gold State of Mind

In Hastings, there is a gorgeous church on the south side of town that has these amazing memorials as windows with a great mixture of colors used. My sister (who is my photographer) found this side door with a walkway around the entire church. I wore this every simple mustard yellow sweater from A New Day that Target has decided to showcase for the fall season. The sweater is called Women's Crew Neck Luxe Any Day Pullover, it is very little weight that can easily be worn layered or by itself. I chose the mustard yellow color as it is a great fall color to accessorize with neutral colors such as navy blue, black, and army green. I chose to wear it with a blue and white striped vest with dark blue toothpick Jeans from J.Crew. There is a slit at the bottom of the sweater to make it less uncomfortable and get from bunching up. I also bought this sweater in a dark pink color also and another navy-blue crewneck sweater from the same company. I love the texture of the sweater as it is very soft material that doesn't make you feel uncomfortable within the fabric.

I am also featuring my dark grey Hunter boots since lately in Michigan we have been having colder weather. They are super versatile pair of boots that I have in my closet. I can dress them up with a simple red striped dress or dress down with leggings and a sweatshirt. In the future, I will do a post of taking care of your Hunter boots with cleanser. I have them in a size 9 where there is enough room to wear a heavy sock inside. They are extremely comfortable to stay in your same size for shoes. I would love to get another pair in a black or green color within the future.

I can't wait for more fall days in Michigan, I am hoping soon to go to an apple orchard to pick apples before it gets colder. Soccer season is coming to an end within the last couple of weeks in October with final games. Hopefully we qualify for the WHAC tournament in November.
