What are you things in your life are you thankful for?


Happy Thanksgiving!!

For my outfit today I decided to wear an orange sweater I purchased at a Gap Outlet while in Maryland last week.  When I saw the sweater I absolutely fell in love with its vibrant color and softness, so I knew I had to buy it.  Although, I decided to wait until I returned home to style my sweater because I knew what I wanted to wear with it hadn't been packed during my trip.  I chose a pair of carmel booties from Nine West I bought earlier this past spring because I knew they would look great with my sweater and H&M handbag.  Finally, I completed my outfit my with a pair of bootcut J Brand Jeans, and gold accessories.

I thought I would do something different today and show you what I carry in my bag.  This particular bag is fairly new because I recently purchased it at H&M a couple of weeks ago.  When I first saw it hanging on the rack I couldn't believe that it was in the store, so I inquired about it and found out that it was the only one in the store.  So, you know I had to go ahead and buy it:)  When it comes to handbags I love all of them.  Which style is your favorite?

Here is my bag and the contents of my bag:  my wallet, a pair of sunglasses, makeup case, cell phone, gum, candy, notebook and pen, and mug sleeve.

I believe now that it is officially going to remain cold here in Indiana, why?  This morning the temperature was 37 degrees and I believe it only reached up to the middle 50's that's why.  I'm glad  I've already packed my spring/summer clothes, but I still need to unpack my fall/winter clothes.   Luckily I have enough fall/winter clothes in my closet now that I'm ok.

Anyway, I purchased my yellow gingham shirt on Old Navy online later on in the summer and I've only worn it once, but I didn't post about it.  However, since I liked the shirt so much I thought I would wear it again for my blog:)  This time I decided to wear my shirt with a pair of skinny jeans, a neutral colored handbag and shoes, and gold accessories.  Also, I wore my Burberry Jacket and scarf, but I took it off for my photos.

Lately it's been getting pretty cool here in Indiana, but today the weather reached into the high 70's, so I thought that I would wear a pair of capris one last time until next spring.  I bought a red peplum at Forever 21 several weeks ago and I have been dying to wear it, so when I heard the weather would be really nice, knew I had to wear my polka dot capris about with my red peplum top.

I decided to wear my peplum and capris with a pair of black flats, my Gucci hobo, and black & gold accessories.
