This is one of my favorite times of year and invokes thoughts of apples, pumpkins, cinnamon (and nutmeg, too). Have you ever had your color analysis done? I am a cross between a warm autumn and a deep autumn. But anyone can incorporate fall colors into their wardrobe by wearing just a splash of it through accessories, statement jewelry and even makeup (okay, hair color, too). Just to mix things up a bit, I am wearing autumn colors with plaid pants. My colors are yellow gold, cinnamon and burgundy red. Which colors look best with my plaid pants? I am inclined to liking my burgundy colored leather jacket best of all. I think that jacket is quite versatile and will explore its potential later in another post. The long warm cinnamon red sweater is so cozy, comfortable and warm.
My husband and I were invited to spend the weekend at this beautiful house on Squam Lake by my amazing sister and brother-in-law. It was in honor of my sister-in-law’s birthday and she finds the most incredible places to stay.
The water is so clean, clear and refreshing, and the loons have not flown south yet. Look at the low lying clouds in the mountains.
I was able to do some kayaking and stumbled into these mergansers. They allowed us to get quite close to them.
There was some fall color emerging in places and it definitely was not peak season this weekend here although peak foliage happens in the blink of an eye and it’s over.
We went for an invigorating walk on Saturday morning. I use the word invigorating as the sun was not out and it was chilly enough to wear fleece. But it was so tranquil and remote–my two favorite descriptors any time of year and in any location. Where do you think this road might lead to? I am not telling…
What I wore:
Long burgundy duster by Tahari Women’s clothing (TJ Maxx)
Leather jacket by Leather Limited (Found at consignment shop)
Caramel jacket by Sanctuary Clothing (TJ Maxx)
Plaid pants by Carolina Belle (TJ Maxx)
Booties are by Franco Sarto (and are so comfortable)
The moto jacket–it’s not only timeless but stylish and versatile. The jacket I am wearing was purchased a couple of years ago but I have noticed it’s rebounded recently especially in a wide variety of colors. There is something about this classic style that calls to me and I admiringly appreciate the choices out there right now for this enduring fashion statement. My jacket is the original definitive black and it’s the perfect weight for this time of year. I am wearing it with both a dress and then with jeans and my jeans are the skinny distressed kind. It’s a fun look for every occasion including dressy and casual. The dress is by Anne Klein and the jacket is by Max Studio. What do you think of the moto jacket? Would you wear one and how would you wear it?
The material of my jacket (coat actually) is 70% cotton, 27% polyester and 3% spandex and it’s very comfortable. The jacket I am wearing is a medium and it’s 21 inches from armpit to armpit and 34 inches long.
My mom lived a long and rich life and had the most uplifting and positive spirit that made you feel happy and content about life after visits with her. So I continue to dedicate my blog to my mom and I look forward to the year ahead.
I am wearing a very comfortable top that is both casual and cool. The sleeves roll up to 3/4 length (it is a Columbia camp shirt). The teal colored flip flops also give the outfit a casual feel. The flip flips are by Sanuk and they have a yoga mat cushioned insole–very comfy! Anyway, I hope you like my post today.
