Black Denim with a Twist

 

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving my Canadian followers and friends.  I am spending the weekend with family, while also taking advantage of the long weekend to get caught up on photography, house chores and connecting with friends.  I am going to keep this nice and short so I can get back to enjoying today with our family and my best friend.  

This is the ONLY piece that I've invested in this fall and I am so happy that I did.  This Smash and Tess denim Dolly Romper is a pricey item so it took me a while to pull the trigger and I am soooooo happy with it.  I own several Smash & Tess pieces, 5 to be exact, and the sizing is consistent every single time.  I am a consistent XS and you can see all the pieces here, here and here, and also another one is being featured on Thursday for my Ageless Style link-up.

Anyway, I love that it's a cross over between overalls and a romper.  I also love the button detail, the belt is actually super cute but it can be interchanged with a regular belt and the front pockets are amazing!    I am super happy that it's more fitted than I thought based on the pictures off of the website.  I am 5'4 and the length is sport on!  I layered a black shirt underneath for extra warmth but it's super cute without a top.  My only complaint is that the straps aren't adjustable and they are too big for me and my mom with have to adjust them a bit; I could leave them but I think they would be annoying.

That's it, that's all!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and my Canadian friends, enjoy the family time together.  

What I Wore: Summer to Fall Transition Outfits

On Saturday I was floating in a pool and by Tuesday I was wearing mittens.  Crazy weather changes but the sunshine is back after a few cool days.

Yikes.  September disappeared in a flash friends.  Busy back to school, work, routine and fall photography have all been keeping me busy.  Now that we are firmly in the first week of October I can't believe the wonderful weather we have been experiencing here in Sk.  A couple of days have required mittens and wool coats, but for the most part it's been unseasonably warm and it's continuing into this week as well.  I ended up switching out my "summer" for "fall" bucket just last weekend.  I love adding a trench coat, bomber jacket or my leather coat to my favorite summer outfits for added warmth.  Let's take a peek into some outfits I wore to work in September as we said goodbye to summer and hello to a warm fall. 

What are some fall 2024 fashion trends that you are excited to try?  What do I need to have in my closet this fall and in preparation for winter?

It's Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend, so wishing all my Canadian friends much love as they gather with friends and family to celebrate how lucky we are to have one another.  My own family is going to split their time between time with my family, my in-laws and the cousins on one side, as well time with the just the four of us.  I feel extremely lucky to have my family close by in the same city as we are, and many good friends that keep us young at heart and always lend a shoulder to lean on.  Health, happiness, a roof over our heads, food on the table and love is all things to be grateful for.  Love you all and thanks for stopping by.
