OOTD – lots of outfits!

0

It’s FALL, Y’ALL.

The temperatures have dropped here in Louisiana, and I couldn’t be happier. I have been able to wear jackets and sweaters and tights and BOOTS (y’all should know my love of boots if you’ve been reading me for a while…if not, just know I FREAKING LOVE BOOTS FOR REALS) and I am so very happy about this temperature change. I also don’t have to shave my legs every day, and this is also a good thing. Not so much for Doug, maybe.

Anyway, I’ve been dressing up a bit more, so here’s a few outfit pics I’ve taken over the past couple of weeks!

October 24:
OOTD - 10/24/13.
Denim jacket, maxi dress, leopard belt: Old Navy
Leather wrap bracelet: Charming Charlie
Pour Le Victoire handbag: TJ Maxx
Jessica Simpson “Cranaby” bootie: 6pm.com
My mom and I took a day and went into the French Quarter to play tourist the previous Thursday. It was lovely – warm in the sun, cool in the shade, and just a perfect day. We stopped in a couple of my favorite shops (The Spice and Tea Exchange and Trendz NOLA), had lunch and drinks at Pat O’Brien’s (which I’ve never been to), walked around and did a little window shopping in stores and at the French Market, and rounded out our day at Stanley with an amazing ice cream sundae.

Some other snapshots from that day:

Only in NOLA is "not haunted" a selling point for a rental. #frenchquarter #neworleans #vscocam

October 26 – work:
OOTD - 10/26/13.
Faux-leather jacket: Cato Fashions
Dress: Old Navy
Chevron tights: Torrid
Clarks flats: Shoeffle in Covington, LA
Silver necklace: a Christmas gift from Amber, a former Bra Genie coworker!
All things cobalt, y’all. I’m fascinated with this whole trend of brilliant primary colors that have popped up – crayon-bright reds, greens, blues, purples. With my fair skin and dark hair, I find that most of these colors work pretty well on me, especially the cool ones. So I’m trying to incorporate these into my fall and winter wardrobe. I don’t think you can go wrong with bright colors and classic black. Well, except maybe neons – those colors together are a little too 1980s. Did anyone else have a huge hot pink sweatshirt with neon geometric shapes and black stirrup leggings? Come on, I can’t be the only one…

October 26 – Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Prytania Theater:
Oh hai Jack and Coke #saturdaynight #rockyhorror #drankin

At the Prytania, waiting in line.
Black beret (which is really hard to see): Target
Red neck scarf: borrowed from my manager, Nancy!
B&W striped tee: Old Navy
Skinny black patent belt: Cato Fashions
Red pencil skirt: Lane Bryant

Halloween weekend is not Halloween weekend without a visit to the Prytania Theater for the Saturday night midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Doug and I try to go every year (we actually try to go throughout the year, but we haven’t gone in a while). This year, my fabulous co-worker Julia accompanied us! This was her first time at a theater show of Rocky. We decided to dress up since it was Halloween weekend and all. I was trying to go for a whole “French girl” thing. I got a few compliments – and I think I would definitely wear this again, but a little less costumey.

October 28:
OOTD - 10/28/13.
Cardigan and jeans: Old Navy
Echo scarf: eBay
Yummie cami: Bra Genie
Black and tan oxfords: Trendz NOLA
I bought these oxfords at Trendz the previous week and I KNEW exactly how I would wear them. This outfit kind of gives off a 1950s bad girl vibe. Someone at work said it reminded them of Rizzo from Grease. I haven’t seen Grease in a while so I’m going to defer to Doug on the matter, since he is a big Grease fan:
“A little bit.”
There you go, people.
Also, these shoes remind me of my friend Kahra very much. This is an outfit that I think she would wear.

OOTD - 11/1/13.
Denim jacket: Old Navy
Maxi dress and bangle bracelets: Cato Fashions
(not shown: Jessica Simpson bootie from 6pm.com)
One of the things I am actively trying to do this fall and winter is take some of my summer-y clothing like my maxi dresses and find workarounds to wear them all year long. I’m pairing a lot of sleeveless items like my maxis with boots and this dark rinse denim jacket from Old Navy (my absolute favorite new piece, ever). As it gets colder, I’ll probably add in tights and throw sweaters on top of the dresses. I know people have grumped about Cato being “cheap fashion” but I honestly can’t hate on them. This dress has lasted through two summers and it seems like it will last longer as long as I keep taking care of it properly.

Have you been pulling out your fall clothing? What are you wearing with this temperature change?
