Happy Wednesday to you all! I’m back today to share a couple of things that I got recently that I’ve shared before, but haven’t tried on for you yet. I’m getting ready for Fall and cooler weather, although the weather isn’t quite cooperating yet. I do love boots and sweater weather, do you? I enjoy layering when those cooler temps show up with cardigans and jackets. It’s just a fun time to dress in all the Fall stuff!
Today, I’m sharing those new jeans I got, from Kut from the Cloth. I really do love them. They are high waisted and stretchy, not too tight, but form fitting. These are a dark wash and feel great on. I like that I can tuck in a shirt and wear a belt too because they are higher waisted than most.
I got this top from Goodwill, a Lands End in a charcoal stripe. I love a stripe! The cardigan is from Nordstrom Rack and I love it too. It’s a lightweight knit with pockets and I got a Medium in this one, because they were out of Smalls. But that gives me room to layer thicker things underneath and still be comfortable. This will be a fun piece to take with me to Cape Cod when we go in a few weeks.
I added a leopard belt I’ve had for ages and that just gives it a little bit of spice.
Simple jewelry and that’s an outfit.
Let’s talk about these booties. I love them! So far they are comfortable and I love the neutral color which will go with anything. These are suede so I did spray them with some suede protector and hopefully that will help in keeping them clean. Booties are so much fun this time of year. I probably won’t ever wear higher socks with these, but will wear the no-see socks which make shoes more comfortable.
I’m heading out on a little adventure tomorrow and going to Las Vegas on a brand event for 2 days. I’ll probably share a little of what I see when I get back, since I’ve never been to Las Vegas. I won’t be there long enough to really sightsee much, but it should be fun. Did I mention I love my job? I think I have, at least a thousand times. So grateful I get to do so many things like this!
So, here’s a look at the jeans, cardigan and shoes I have as well as a couple of other similar items.
You are wearing my fall and winter wardrobe. I always wear Lands End button downs with jeans and a sweater. I loaded up on long ones during Nordstrom’s sale.
I love this outfit. I am a fan of cardi’s and boots this time of year. Well, when the temps cooperate. That cardi is a great length.
If you get a chance go see the fall decor in the main level at Bellagio hotel. It is amazing. Enjoy your trip.
Love it! This is my kind of outfit.
I am so happy I found your blog and enjoy it so much. You prove you can dress and decorate on a budget. I have found very few blogs for just everyday people who search for ideas and inspiration but can not afford what is being shown.
Thank you, Marsha, so glad you found me, welcome! I have always done things on a budget & will continue to do so.
Love it ! I also like higher waist jeans…not too many people look good in the lower waist in my opinion. Unless you’re long and lanky like you 🙂
Exactly, not too many actually look good in lower waist jeans but everybody is stuffed in with their muffin top.
It’s so funny to see a young girl in her high waisted jeans and her mom in the very low ones, talk about a style reversal. I am SO entirely sick of the low waisted things. Even hiking pants for women are low, seriously, I know I am older, but that’s is just stupid.
You look great in that outfit, I do love stripes and I really want a long cardigan but I am concerned about getting baggy in the back after sitting a while.
I agree, the lower waist jeans just look strange with a shirt tucked in. I wear my longer tops over those, but it’s nice to have a higher waisted pair for tucking in. These are very tailored.
This is such a neat and comfortable outfit. The long cardigan is perfect for this time of year regardless where one lives. The leopard belt is the perfect accessory, and who can beat a nice shirt from Goodwill. Enjoy your trip.
You look great in this terrific outfit Rhoda. Love it!
Love the look! In Vegas now. Joined my husband as he is attending his firm’s partners conference. It is hot, but it’s very dry here (good hair weather like Arizona 😜). It’s fun people watching. Been here a week, but I am ready to go home tomorrow. A little too crazy for me 😊
Hi, Sheryl, I’ve never been, but it will be fun to see it in person. I’m sure I’ll be ready to come home too.
Oh no, I went to Kut from Kloth and there are so many styles of jeans. I saw a few high waist but can you tell me which ones you picked?
HI, Vicky, see below the links below this post will take you straight there to the same pair I bought.
Hi Rhoda, Love your new jeans. The legs look great, not too tight and flattering to your legs. The fabric looks nice and substantial, too.
Hi, Jean, thanks so much, they are a nice jean and I love the higher waist too.
