Create28: Mocassins

I have a confession to make. Boots and booties are not my favorite fall footwear. Gasp, I know, what kind of personal style blogger am I?

While I love my cognac riding boots and have multiple pairs of suede booties sitting in my closet, moccasins are my favorite cozy shoes to slip into on a casual fall day! There is something so effortlessly cool about a pair of moccasins. They state, "this is who I am, I'm comfy and that's all that matters!"

Despite the inherent chicness of a pair of moccasins, their best feature is that they are so darn comfortable! Who doesn't want to wear a pair of shoes that feel like slippers? This fall, a stretchy pair of skinnies, a soft sweater and a vest make for the perfect, comfy Saturday uniform (yes, I know it's Tuesday but I took these pictures on Saturday #truthfulblogger). By the way, this sweater (which might just be my favorite piece this fall) is on super sale in several different colors. I want one of each, please!

After years of wearing moccasins purchased from Target, I decided it was time to step it up and buy some good-quality moccasins (I did love my Target pair but I wore them until they ripped last year). I recently invested in a pair from Minnetonka and I couldn't be happier! Have you checked-out Minnetonka before? Not only do they have classic moccasins but they have some really fun colors and designs, too (I'm eyeing you, hot pink pair). And if I can't convince you to step out of your boots, you could wear a pair of moccasin boots! Here are some of my favorites!

Create28: Fall Colors and a Link-Up

Happy Monday and welcome to the first link-up for Create28: Fall Looks! We hope that you've joined us in creating new outfits using our seasonal prompts and we want to see what you've come up with. You can find the link-up below but first, let's talk about fall colors!

Fall colors can encompass such a wide variety of hues, but my favorite colors this time of year are deep, bold and dark. I know that I can wear this plum dress any time of the year but the rich color just begs to be worn when the leaves finally start changing. My natural inclination was to reach for my mustard cardigan (a fall closet staple, in my opinion), but then I realized that I'd worn that combination before. And this is Create28, meaning I really want to find some new combinations hiding in my closet.

This teal cardigan gets love all year-round but when I paired it with the plum dress, I knew I'd found a great fall color combination! Metallic accessories added a perfect pop of warmth and interest.

I love that the Create28 prompts can be flexible! What fall colors will you choose to wear today? Will you stick with Pantone's fall colors or will you pick a combination that shouts fall just to you? Make sure that you pop over to Carrie and Casey's blogs to see which colors they've chosen!

What I'm Wearing:

Dress: Target (similar, similar)

Cardigan: LOFT Outlet (similar, similar)

Tassel Necklace: LOFT (similar, similar)

Flats: DSW (similar, similar)

Don't forget to check back tomorrow because I'll be talking about some of the comfiest footwear of the season: moccasins!

And now it's time for that link-up I promised!

September Wedding

It seems relatively easy to think of a pretty outfit to wear as a guest during "wedding season." You know, June through August when it seems like you have a wedding to attend almost every weekend. Just throw on your prettiest sundress and your strappiest sandals and you are ready to go!

Now fall weddings, that's another story entirely...especially in September! First of all, there is the weather to contend with. The temperatures could soar into the 80s or dip into the 60s (here in Michigan at least). And weather aside, I know that I'm ready to look a bit more ready for fall. So what's a girl to do?!

It's a good thing my friend Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood invited me to collaborate with her and two other lovely bloggers to feature our favorite fall-transition wedding guest looks!

So what's my answer to the September wedding-wear conundrum? Two things: light, pretty layers and fall colors! I know I've discussed my trouble with kimonos before, but I do love this one! Not to mention its floral print gives it a feminine and romantic vibe-- exactly what I'm going for at a wedding. On the practical side, it provides a bit of extra warmth on a chill almost fall evening but can be easily removed for a night on the dance floor!

Using the quintessential little black dress as a foundation, I've added elements in colors that make me think of fall! Vibrant orange heels and floral print plus a deep green clutch take this basic dress into the cooler months.

And did you notice that my clutch speaks French? Le Tote sure knew the way to my heart with this one!

And now let's take a look at how Ada, Carrie and Jennie dressed-up for a September Wedding! Make sure to stop by their blogs to read about their beautiful choices!

Looks like I missed the pink memo!
