Fall Fashion Day 2

My Tuesdays (and Thursdays for that matter) are really long days.  I start work before 8 a.m. and the earliest I finish is 8 p.m.  I'm not working that entire time, but it's still a long day.

Instead of trying to find time to take and post pictures of my outfit for Tuesday in the middle of my hectic work schedule, I'm going to show some details of a few recent outfits.

What I mean is that I'm pretty much a cheater.

Taking pictures myself has made it rather difficult to get full outfit shots.  I'm not exactly a pro with the timer or mirror shots.  That's why I said "details" of these outfits.

For this first outfit, I was mostly just proud of the belt knot.  I learned it from a tutorial by Elaine at Clothed Much.
Also, the leggings-tunic-boots combo is super comfy.  And I love that necklace (from J. Crew outlet).

Outfit #2 was inspired by/loosely based on this outfit at The Daybook.
I love the combination of the chunky sweater and the button up (which is actually striped).
Also, you can pretty much count on seeing this watch in every single picture.  I love it and it's my only watch that is functioning at the moment.
These boots were my big purchase this fall.  Of course, I've seen them all over the place.  I love the details, that they are flat, and they zip up.  Count on seeing them again.

Happy Tuesday everyone!  And thanks so much for your outfits and all the inspiration your providing.  That's what makes these fashion weeks so fun.

(And if you start following my blog, let me know.  I'd love to return the favor!  Oh, and thanks!)

  10. I just did a belt knot myself last week - love it.
    I am also terrible at self-portraits. TERRIBLE. I've been doing this for years & haven't figured out a way to get it down. Your detail shots are great.

  21. Thank you SO much for sharing the belt knot turorial. I have never purchased a belt to wear at the natural waist because I'm always left with a huge flapping end! Amazing idea!
