This cardigan has become a staple for me.
Also, I just really love these pictures.  We took them in my friends Sarah and Ashley's back yard at the perfect time of day and I really like how they turned out.
Another also, you should go check out those two lady's blogs! They just started, but they are super cute and I know you will love them :)





I've been listening to a whole lot of Switchfoot lately, and when I was trying to think of a post title, I thought of their album "New Way to be Human," so that's why it sounds grandiose.
BUT this is a really good idea as the weather gets colder!
I have a great wool coat for winter... but its burnt orange.  Which is a good color, but doesn't necessarily go with everything.
So when the orange isn't what I'm wanting, I layer a big cardigan underneath a leather jacket for just as much warmth!




It would also be really cute to layer a printed cardigan under an anorak jacket... I don't have one, but its on my Christmas list :)


I have a uniform for every season - a combination of things I know look good together that I can throw on without thinking about it too hard.  It certainly makes getting ready in the mornings easier.

Here's what I've been wearing over and over again this fall:

cardigan: ruby moon (similar) // leggings (SO affordable on Amazon!) // boots: steve madden (similar) // tee: Old Navy

I'll go ahead and go on record as saying that I don't see a problem with wearing leggings as pants - especially leggings as comfy as these are. BUT, if you're gonna do it, do it right - make sure your top is long enough to cover your butt and your crotch.  Once that's taken care of, carry on.
I love this combo because there are so many options - here, the leggings are pattered and the cardigan is plain, but you could also keep the leggings basic black (again, Amazon has some great, thick ones) and a patterned cardigan (Forever 21 has a ton of options this season - 1, 2, 3)




All these cozy layers and tons of apple cider are making my autumn quite nice.


I usually don't wear high heels.  At 5'10, almost any heel makes me over 6 feet tall... and my balance isn't all that great.  But last weekend, my fabulous in-laws bought me these super cute wedge-heeled booties for a job interview I have at the end of the month.  Wedges I can do, I don't fall all over myself quite as much.



jeans: mudd // tank: marineblu (this one is no longer available, but here's a cute grey one that would look good with a similar outfit!) // denim top: Forever21 // booties: xappeal


FINALLY, I have high waisted jeans!  It was kind of cool this week, so I threw a plaid shirt over one of my favorite tanks and tucked it into my jeans.  I really like the way it tuned out! This may be a new fall staple for me.
