JT in her St. Cardinals hoodie
This is a not so wordless Wednesday; because I wanted to tell my story of how I got such a good deal on this hoodie. I don’t own many hoodies but I wanted a St. Louis Cardinals hoodie to support my favorite team. I really didn’t want to spend a lot of money. Well my hubby and I went to Macys’ about a couple of weeks ago and we were getting him some socks. I just so happen to go to a rack with this hoodie and it was in my size. Meant to be! I was able to get this hoodie for more than 50% off the retail price.

For a hoodie it’s not bad at all. I wore it and felt good in the shoes. The purchase definitely worth it.

The Cardinals are playing today so I have to root for my team.

I am going in and out of summer and fall clothes because the weather is fluctuating. As I have said many times, when the weather is up and down; layering is a sure winner in my book. Today started out chilly, in the 40s. I wore my scarf from Target, my Susan Graver faux leather jacket , my new dress from Handworks of India, hand made dress by Ware, tights, flats and my Dooney and Bourke handbag.

If I get a little warm I can take the scarf off and and the faux leather jacket and I am ready. The dress is so comfortable and chic and I love the hand embroidery detail of the flower in the dress.

The dress has a tie belt that I tied in the front for more definition in the waist.

Oh my, I am smiling from ear to ear because fall is here! It’s nippy outside with a chill in the air. I am ready to break out my boots, jackets, sweaters and tights. Hold up now, I have to do this in stages because I still do not know how the weather is going to be. But I am really enjoying this so much.
Well let us get to the Dress Series, featuring fall leaves. It is that time of the year where you want to dress in layers. It may be cool in the morning, warm in the afternoon and cool at night. The past few days have been chilly all day. I had to break out the leather jacket. When the weather is all over the place, how do you still wear those dresses. Dress in layers!!
The dress I have on below is a summer dress; but the colors scream vibrancy for fall. I paired a black tailored jacket, tights, and my Dooney and Bourke Florentine Vacheeta Leather handbag. I am ready for work or church.
The black jacket is from B Moss that I bought at least four years ago. I really like the sleek lines and how it cinches in the waist. It is very slimming. I also paired it with black tights to complete the look for fall.
If it happens to be a little warm, I can take off my jacket and be perfectly comfortable, yet still professional. Do you see how the black tree branch curves on the dress and gives the focal point of elongation.
During the transition from summer to fall and winter, try adding a blazer and some tights.

I am head over heels for a colored cardigan. It is feeling confident and stylish at the same time. Isaac Mizrahi’s cardigans are very figure-flattering and really spice up my jeans and trousers. I have to mention the bold colors, the pinks and reds, just light of my face.
Isaac is one of my favorite designers. When I put on one of his pieces, I feel feminine and in my element.
My wide-leg jeans are from the Miss Tina line that was at HSN about three or four years ago. The jeans are looking great after all this time. To me, the wide leg makes the jeans look more polished. My boots are from Steve Madden and have become one of my favorites boots to wear anytime of the year. I heart them so much my hubby bought me a second pair.
I am attempting to do one of those model poses where they swing around their purse in mid motion. Okay twirling in circles.
In this picture with me is one of my puppies, my collie, Vinny. He is a sweet little boy that loves to hug, play and have fun.
Stay tuned because I will be styling this cardigan in other ways because it is so versatile.
