Tulsa Oktoberfest

October 30, 2015

Did you think I fell off the radar? I have been traveling the past 5 days added an extra day to my plans and when I got home it has been non stop busy catching up. I went home to Tulsa for Oktoberfest and to see my boys who were all in town visiting as well. It was a wonderful weekend with all three of my boys and all of my grandsons. And yes.. that is my son and grandson in their Lederhosen. German runs deep in my family.

I have been working on something exciting for the blog and can't wait to share it with you. I have plenty of pictures to edit and post to share with you so expect me to be back to a full week of posting on Monday. In the mean time... here is a snapshot of my week and weekend and TGIF!

Wearing White in Fall

October 20, 2015

arm party

It is late October and today I am showing you how to wear white denim and pull it off for fall. In the spring and summer wearing sandals is the way to go with tanks and bare shoulders but for fall it's all about less is more when it comes to sharing some skin bare toes and white clothing. It is too late in the season in my opinion to wear white jeans with sandals and tanks. I paired my favorite pair of Frye boots with this hounds tooth poncho I spotted on a rack at Marshalls and couldn't pass it up for the price. I love the details with the one button closure and fringe. The color is actually dark brown and camel but it doesn't look bad with the black tee. Remember when incorporating white into your fall outfits.... a little goes a long way and layer it up with maybe a field jacket or leather.

How to Wear a Plaid Poncho

October 16, 2015

Colors

I totally loved this cape when I tried it on in Nordstrom. There are so many to choose from and it seems like you can find one just about anywhere because they are so popular this season. Do a little shopping around and I know you can pick one or even two up for under $30 each. It will just depend on the color and pattern you are drawn to. I liked the neutrality to this pattern so I can throw any color on with it all season long! I have to admit.... as I strolled into the street for the pictures I had a hard time not feeling like an extra in the movie Outlaw Josie Wales..... boots, cape, hat, all I was missing was my gun strapped to my thigh. I'm pretty sure they didn't wear hot pink and dangly earrings back then either; but I could definitely be a supporting role in an updated version of the movie don't you think?! HA!

In all seriousness though, you should pick yourself up a cape this season as a great accessory for a little price. And while you are at it.... grab a new floppy hat if you haven't already. I cannot wear mine enough, I love it! I am thinking about getting a tan hat too! What do you think of this look? Would you wear a cape? My besties mom always wore capes; much longer and actually more like a square with a hole cut in the middle for her head and we always associated them as being frumpy.... I am not thinking this is a frumpy look!
