Outfit Post and Thoughts on Velvet

Hello everyone:) Wow didn't Thanksgiving sneak up on us?

My husband and I are both working Thanksgiving this year but that will not be stopping us from enjoying this wonderful holiday. While I am on the subject, I am so very thankful for our jobs! While it can be easy to grumble about working the holiday, there are far worse things in life.

Now to delve into the subject at hand.

I work in retail and love/study fashion. I notice and read so much about what is trending and popular in this world. And I have something to say. You guys, what in the world is up with velvet? Not real velvet mind. There will always be a place in my closet for a classy dark velvet blazer. No, I am talking about medieval looking fake velvet shirts or knife pleated velvet skirts. This photo below is the kind I am talking about

NO.NO.NO .  MAKE IT STAHP.

I mean at the end of the day if you love velvet who am I to tell you not to like it? You do you. But my personal opinion on the trend? It needs to be buried alive. Which brings me to today's outfit post.
Trade your velvet in for corduroy! I have a serious love of corduroy this season, and I believe my infatuation is here to stay. It is warm, not fussy, and just has this fantastic texture. In my opinion, playing with different textures can completely elevate an outfit from boring to interesting in a second. I picked up this skirt from Brooks Brothers and it has already become a fall/winter staple skirt for me.





Other small things that elevate an ensemble this time of year is stockings. There are so many fun things you can do with them! Usually, I am biased to seamed stockings. (Go figure right?) However, I just picked up a packet of fishnets which while I consider risky to wear correctly, I can't wait to figure out some ways to incorporate them into my wardrobe.
Also, yes that's the Brooks Brothers logo at the bottom of my stockings. If you are interested in the history of their logo check it out! Most people think it is a flying pig. Spoiler alert, it's not 😂

Seriously, over half of the photos Ethan takes are outtakes. 👍
