Instagram is by far my favorite social media channel, probably because I love checking out new products I haven't seen before or to find out what others are wearing (or doing).  Here are just a few picks from my favorite stores.  

Have a great weekend!  Thanks for reading.

I am participating in a Fall Style Me Pretty challenge with Alison Lumbatis.  This is my look for Day One.  The look was to include a striped tee, boyfriend jeans, and short booties.  I opted for leopard print instead of the suede solid color and swapped out rolled skinny jeans for boyfriend jeans. (I have not found a pair of boyfriend jeans that I like - still looking... any suggestions???...) Over the next couple weeks (the challenge is for 21 days), I will be posting different looks from my own closet.  And, weather permitting (if it would stop raining...), I plan to get outside and take some pictures of what I am wearing for this challenge.  The leaves are so pretty right now and would be a perfect backdrop.

I am part of a link up for the challenge - so be sure to check out the other ladies participating below...

Also, Shopbop is having its Friends & Family sale - 25% off until the 16th. Here are a few of my picks.  (Code: Family25)

p.s. Just thought I should mention that I do own shoes/boots that are not leopard print and other jeans... These just seem to be on repeat.

I had good intentions of getting out to take photos - but the weather has not cooperated.  So, I am using some back-up photos - that I didn't intend to post since the look is very similar to the previous one here.  A few things are for sure though - I love leopard print and my Paige skinny jeans that I picked up at Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale a few months ago.  They are my go-to jeans, along with my shoes. 

Hope you are having a good week!  Thanks for reading.

I have been watching this plaid coat with the shearling lining and waiting for it to go on sale.  And, it just went on sale at Piperlime (Code: Fall20)!  If I would buy it, this is one option for what I would wear with it.

Well, here goes. I have finally decided to post pictures of what I am wearing.  I have followed style bloggers for years, and have had my own blog for some time, and what I like best about the blogs is being able to see what others are wearing.  So, I am sharing my style perspective from a blogger who is no longer in her twenties or thirties, but who has now entered her forties.  Hopefully those of you my age, and those younger and older can gather some inspiration from my style.

My sweet mom is helping me out as photographer.  (And, as all bloggers know - taking pictures is not an easy task - and given this was our first attempt and some camera issues - I think we did okay.)

I am a sale shopper.  Everything in this look I bought on sale - anywhere from 30-70% off.  I love finding great deals at Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, Piperlime, The Limited, etc.  I like to buy on sale, but I also like to invest in things that I will have for many seasons.  For this look, I layered a vest over a leather jacket, which is great because I can wear the vest and jacket separately or paired together and get three different looks out of it. (Also, this leather jacket is one of my favorites, so it will probably show up on its own in a future post.)

I hope you follow along as I post different things I am wearing over the next coming weeks / months  / years.  Plus, I am working on a new venture - which I will be talking more about in the coming months.
