Scattered Leaves

Sep 20, 2012

I can’t believe we are getting into tights season! Most days our temperatures are still incredibly warm but we’ve had a few cooler evenings and I'm happily taking advantage of them. I can’t wait to start layering more! This week, I’ve started noticing little signs of fall everywhere - I’ve spotted yellow & red leaves and I’ve even had the fireplace on a few times this week. It feels pretty great!



I love outfits like this: dresses, tights, booties. Super comfy & cozy! I can see this being a real go-to look for me this fall. As for the dress?! I bought it from Tieka’s shop, of Selective Potential - I seriously adore that girl's style! On a separate note, I’m thinking of opening my own online shop. My poor closet is overflowing with clothes and I'd love to make room for some new items. I’ll keep you guys posted.

Otherwise, it’s been a pretty busy week. I’ve been feeling extra motivated and catching up on little life bits... cleaning the car, sorting our budget, reviewing some investments, organizing our home and my business. It’s the stuff you never want to do, but then, it feels so great once you’ve done it. Tonight, I’m hoping to treat myself to TV watching & baking. Whoo-hoo! I'm eying this recipe, Flour-less Peanut Butter Cookies - I'll be sure to let you know how they turn out. Have a great day, everyone!

Outfit Details:

Denim Jacket - H&M (similar)
Dress - Selective Potential
Belt - Old Navy
Tights for Every Occasion, ModCloth
Boots - c/o Blowfish (similar)

  13. I'm so excited for fall weather, too! I can't wait until tights are appropriate the whole day through (right now, I can get away with them in the morning and the evening.) and I can layer more!
    I love your outfit! So pretty; I'm almost tempted to go change into a flowery dress and tights because of you. Ah, if only I had more time before work!

  24. I left all of my tights at home (sadly) thinking it'd be WEEEEEKS before it was cold enough for tights. Like last year. Nope. Already want and craving them. GAH! And this post isn't helping with my tights nostalgia ;) Too perfect for words!

  25. The print of your dress is so pretty. I team absolutely everything with tights!

  26. This look is SO pretty dear! You and Tieka could seriously swap closets, you always look so so adorable and feminine :)

    I'm excited about tights season too, although bare legs feel amazing! I just love how tights can add texture and colour. Plus with the amazingly hot Summer we had, I'm glad for cooler temperatures!

    I'm so glad to see you doing better. And good job on getting organized, I'm making the most of the season change that way as well.

  31. You look absolutely stunning, V! I am so jealous of your already "tights welcoming" weather! And speaking of tights, I LOOOOVE yours!! That plum color is so perfect with that dress. It's still pretty hot in Georgia (83 today!) but atleast that's better than 100, right? ;)

  33. Love this look! Definitely going to be giving tights a try for the first time this fall.
    This outfit has made it into my "inspiration" book (aka: my folder of photos on my computer that makes me feel like a totally creepy stalker)

  34. You look so darling in that dress :) Isn't it wonderful to have to turn on the heat?! I've been loving it...and as for the shop, I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be happy to take your extra clothes off your hands!

  46. I can't believe it's tights weather already! I just got home from Rome, where the weather was blissful, and it's positively wintery outside! But I must say, it's ensembles like this one that make me excited about fall. Tights add a whole new spin to an outfit, and I love seeing you in a piece from Tieka's closet. Hope the flour-less peanut butter cookies turned out; I have a recipe for them that I just adore!

  47. Ah man, tights weather is coming! :D I'm ridiculously excited about this...rather silly, but I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling this.
    And yes, I know the satisfaction that comes with accomplishing things you've pushed off...aha, I'm a chronic procrastinator, so there's a sense of relief in getting things done (finally). Haha, hope you enjoyed your night in! That recipe sounds delicious...
