I am not a fashion blogger...although my husband would argue otherwise based on my closet. I love putting outfits together, and I love a well organized clothing store. My years at J. Crew were some happy times, albeit the retail hours are just not for me now that I have a family. I tend to shop at J. Crew Factory and Gap...I really, really, LOVE the Gap. When I heard they might be closing a few months back, I went into a panic. Their merchandise is well made, changes fairly often, and is ALWAYS on sale. I also think their customer service has gotten a lot better in the last few years as well. I also love Old Navy, but I have to be more picky about their clothes because I am not sold on the quality.
I needed some new pants (needed is a strong word here), and decided to give Gap and Old Navy's Columbus Day sale a try...
1. I knew when I spotted these in the store that I would love them. Elastic waist - yes please!! Comfort and fashion - I'm sold! They were also 40% off and I had an additional coupon, so I really scored on these. I love that they are a faded black, so I can wear them more casual.
Of course, when I say I "needed" pants, I had to try them on with tops too. This plaid top caught my eye and I thought "how cute, but impractical! Who wears flannel short sleeves??" Then I remembered that fall here can be hot sometimes, and what better way to say "back off summer" then with a plaid flannel short sleeve top?
2. Plaid top
3. Embroidered top - This top is awesome. It's the softest flannel ever, and very flattering. I wore it with the black jeggings and some flats this past weekend.
4. Peplum sweater - I may or may not have only bought this sweater for the color..it is hard to find Carolina blue when you need it!
5. I came across this Pinterest post and fell in love with the colors. I hate painting my own nails and when I do have painted nails, it is because I have gone to the salon for a gel manicure. I don't get it done often, because it's pricey and I'm not sure how good it is for your nails....but I loathe waiting for my nails to dry and I hate when they mess up a few days hours later. But these light colors are easy to put on and won't show wear as bad. I happen to be in Walmart and came across the exact OPI color...it's beautiful! (Although, on me, the color looks a bit darker)
Just a side note...I think OPI colors are better quality than Essie. I love all the Essie colors, but they just don't seem to stay on as well, in my opinion.
6. And of course, no trip to Walmart would be complete with a new pair of slippers!
(Because you either wear them TO the store, or buy em there.... click here for a good laugh)
I am hard on slippers, so I hate to buy expensive pairs. These were $12.94, and I have loved them. Very comfy, very stylish. I bought the dark brown color, which I can't find online, but you get the gist.

And I got these for Emma!

It's getting really chilly here now (frost advisory????), so I'm super excited! Although, we have tickets to the football game tomorrow and it's a night game...with temps in the 40's! I hope I don't freeze!!
Hope everyone's weekend is warm, comfy, and stylish:)
