No pictures please! What!
I am loving the weekly mini series on what I love for fall and winter. What is genius is that these pieces of clothing that I am wearing that are “on trend now.” I have had for more than two years so it’s so good to buy pieces of clothing that can be workhorses in your wardrobe and can be worn for more than one season. One fall must have is a dress with bold prints.

JT’s Fall Must Haves
This weekend was simply beautiful, so bright, sunny and cool. My favorite time of the year is fall and winter. I spent a lot of time outside and it’s been so nice.
Print Dress: Chadwick’s, Purse: Dooney and Bourke, Boot Shoes: Vince Camuto
I bought this dress and number two must have the faux leather jacket about three years ago; but bright bold reds and grays are so hot right now. Pairing it with number three the gray tights and the Vince Camuto boot shootie is oh-so-chic. My sunglasses are a vintage Jackie O inspiration.
On location in my backyard. Love it!
These Vince Camuto shoes not only have an edge to them and the leather is so comfortable. I walked in them for hours and they were comfortable. The comfort level is that the shoe bootie is has a wedge heel. Wedge heels give more comfort. These shoes are so pretty it was love at first sight when I saw them. The gray tights off sets the whole outfit.

One of my favorite jewelry pieces is cameos. Something about cameos is so vintage and retro.

Both of my dogs are full of energy, Gio and Vinny always want to have a lot of fun. My dog Gio is full of energy and always wants to be in the spotlight. I can rarely get him to sit still for a photo. I know your saying he’s a beagle what do you expect? Well a girl can always hope to get that perfect picture of her puppies.

Hi Elegant and Graceful Readers
I worked all day and had a conference at church this evening, so the day has been full. I am writing this post late this evening because I have a full day tomorrow at work and the last day of the conference at church. My next post will be later in the week. The conference at church is very empowering and my mind is absorbing a lot of information.
Last Friday was the first day of Autumn and finally there is a cool breeze in the air after a long and very hot summer. Bright colors of autumn fill the color palette. I am loving the greens and browns.

We often hear about what’s hot and what’s fabulous right now but it seems that a lot of the items that was in last year is still going strong this year. Classics still out way trendy in my book. Invest in items that will last for years and can be a work horse in your wardrobe.

1. Faux Fur
Hot! Hot! Hot! Faux Fur is so wonderful to wear in the fall and winter.

2. Cape
Capes are always in style and great for fall especially when it’s not cold enough for a coat.

3. Scarves
Scarves were working in the summer and will continue to do so in the fall and winter.
Fur by Rachel Zoe and Scarf (Kmart) yes Kmart
4. Leather
The leather jacket is really on fire this year in print and color. I love the jacket below because the tailoring does a great job of defining the waist area.

5. Blouses
Blouses are such a work horse because you can wear them under jackets, vest or cape or alone as shown below.
6. Wide leg trouser jeans
If you have full hips a wide leg trouser is for you. Wide leg trousers make your legs look longer and makes your shape look balanced if you happen to have curvier hips and small in the bust.

7. Dresses
From a dress to a maxi dress its a pretty look for fall and winter.

8.Tights
I love tights because they excite a regular outfit.
Tights from Walmart
9. Cameo jewelry
I love the look of vintage, cameos remind of Italy.
Cameo by Amedeo
10. Boots
I enjoy wearing a kicking boot that draws attention. Watch out for this boot because it’s oh so chic.

I included this boot by Miz Mooz because it looks so modern yet vintage. Love it!

Summer is coming to a close and fall is on the horizon. Leaves are starting to fall; but it’s not quite cold yet in my neck of the woods. But it will not be warm for long so I want to make sure that I take the bright colors with me. One of the colors I want to take in to fall is luscious pinks and fuchsia. Don’t you just love the warmth of the color.
Loving Pinks and Fuschia
It looks like I should be going on a cruise but I wore this outfit to work.
Twist out hair style
I wore my hair in a twist out but it looks like all the curls didn’t stay but that’s okay with me because the hairstyle doesn’t have to be perfect. This style is so easy to do and actually gives my hair added length.
Purse: Clearance purchase
My purse was from a clearance purchase from a store that was going out of business. I think it was about $5.00. The purse has a teal colors that’s suppose to be a really hot color for fall. I like that I can pick out colors from summer that I can carry into sweaters, skirts and pants and accessories for fall and winter.
I always wear a jacket or something over this dress because I think alone it doesn’t do a thing for my shape.

Look at your summer pieces and see what colors you carry into the fall and winter. What colors would you like to rock in the fall and winter?
