Western Vibes

 

Tee & Jeans: Thrifted, Bag: Ebay, Boots: Off Broadway

It's been raining NON-STOP here. But the sun broke out for a little bit today and brightened everything up. It was much needed! I feel like I am on slow speed this week. I haven't felt the least bit motivated!

Do enjoy this little wooly worm and some fun fall festive decorations.

Chilly Mornings, Warm Afternoons

 

Cardigan: Thrifted Eddie Bauer, Tee: Walmart, Jeans: Target, Sandals: Birkenstocks, Hat: Scala (mens I think!)

The mornings are getting chilly here so fall has definitely arrived. I put out some of my fall decorations and well, let's face it, I've already been drinking pumpkin spice coffee for about 2 weeks now! I'm currently watching Halloween Baking Championship and Great British Baking Show and getting some major urges to bake!

Took time on a lazy Sunday afternoon to visit Grandad's Apple Orchard in Hendersonville, NC. The apple cider alone was worth the visit.

Something Tasty {Skinny Pumpkin Pie}

Ahhhh...Pumpkin Pie. A little piece of heaven on earth. If left to my own devices I could scarf down a whole pumpkin pie by myself! INSTEAD of doing that, I try to keep my cravings for the real thing to a minimum by substituting with Pumpkin Spice Yogurt. I only JUST found this in the grocery store a few weeks ago. I know there are TONS of pumpkin spice this and pumpkin spice that out there but I haven't really fell for any of it until now. I love greek yogurt and eat it anyway so I figured why not. It was good on it's own but....

I add just a few little ingredients to it to take it to the next level!

I added a crushed graham cracker, sometimes two, and a dollop of whipped cream. I sprinkled a little bit of pumpkin pie spice or nutmeg on top too. 

This version of Skinny Pumpkin Pie is only 175 calories!

Just enjoying the view...hope you are too! Happy Fall.

Coffee Shop Mornings Girl

Sweater: Thrifted Coldwater Creek; Pants: Kohl's, Boots: Dolce Vita, Bag: Ebay (shop the look below!)

My hubby and I love spending Saturday mornings at one of the local coffee shops sipping on lattes and listening to our favorite tunes. We both get so much done when we go. The atmosphere makes me so productive for some reason. We get to splurge on coffee shop mornings maybe twice a month so when we do get to go it's pretty special. So special that I put on my faux leather pants no doubt! What?!? For some reason I have this way of hoarding my "good" clothes and keeping them for only nights that we go out on dates. Since extravagant date nights are such a rare treat now that I am a stay at home mom and we're on one income, I'm going to have to start wearing the special outfits even when we just go grab coffee. I'm also very curious and slightly obsessed with the capsule wardrobe idea going around. I may try to commit to one. Or maybe not. What I like about a minimal wardrobe is that everything hanging in your closet is #1) Something you LOVE and #2) Something that fits exceptionally well. Makes getting ready every morning so much easier! I'll let you know if I take the plunge and eliminate half my wardrobe. Eeek!

Top It Off Girl

Sweater: Thrifted (similar), Jeans: Thrifted Lee (similar), Boots: Bongo, Hat: Eddie Bauer (similar)

An oversized cozy sweater that I found in the men's section at the thrift store went perfectly with my new boots, that I must add, were given to me by my sweet, sweet mom! On her birthday no less! I am one spoiled daughter I can tell you that. I spoil my little guy too so I get it. I get it. I topped this outfit off with a soft gray wool hat from Eddie Bauer. I got this hat a few years ago as a Christmas present and I haven't really been able to style it very well. Today, everything just fell in place. No tripods to set up today! My very kind and patient hubby took these photos for me. Aww. Thanks darlin.

DIY {Five Minute Pocketbook Makeover}

I have a terribly old pocketbook that was in much need of a makeover. I grabbed a scarf from my closet and replaced the threadbare straps with a fun pop of color! Best thing about it is I can change out the scarf every time I use it. I was about ready to donate this guy so this was the perfect diy for a breath of fresh air to a dying bag!

What you'll need:

*Pocketbook

*Scarf

*Scissors

See these ugly straps?!

Cut 'em off!

Thread the scarf through the rings

Pull scarf through evenly

Finish off by tying a bow or a knot

I decided I didn't like the green that much. I grabbed my leopard print scarf instead and loved it much better!
