Outerwear with SheIn

Hi ladies!!  Hope everyone had a nice Halloween/ All Saints Day weekend!

In preparation for cooler weather, I have been on the hunt for some affordable and stylish outerwear.  While I already have a very warm, very essential and very enormous down coat from Lands End, (similar here) (which I fully intend to continue to wear)  I have been looking for something cheaper (and not as warm) to wear when I am just running errands and getting in and out of the car a lot.
It is also nice to have a coat for special occasions and going to church.  Even though all of these toppers are reasonably priced, I think they would look great with dressy attire.

I love the top row solid color options which would coordinate with many outfits, but I also love the fun patterns in the bottom row. I try to stick to neutrals when choosing a patterned coat so your coat does not clash with your outfit.

All of these outerwear pieces are from SheIn which is an online retailer similar to a Forever 21 or H & M.  They have a tremendous amount of inventory which varies from trendy to classic and it is all very affordable.

Thanks so much for reading!!

Dressy Thanksgiving Outfits

Dressy Thanksgiving Outfits by rosemary-bostic featuring buckle boots

Hi ladies!!  Hope everyone had a nice weekend!  A couple of weeks ago, I posted a couple of casual looks I was contemplating for my family's casual Thanksgiving dinner.  Today I am talking about a couple of options for a "dressy casual" dinner.  I love the idea of a warm, comfy sweater dress, but added a vest and scarf to help camoflauge any bulges after eating too much!  The other smocked dress looked nice and stretchy for a big dinner!  I paired the dress with a sleeveless trench and layered necklaces to add some polish.  I also thought this dress would be great as a maternity dress or tunic.  Thanks so much for reading!!

Casual Thanksgiving

Casual Thanksgiving by rosemary-bostic featuring black booties

Hi ladies!  Hope everyone had a nice weekend!  We didn't have a whole lot going on which always makes for the best weekends!!

I created this collage with Thanksgiving in mind.  We celebrate with my Mom's side of the family the Saturday after Thanksgiving and the atmosphere is a bit more casual, so a unique cardigan thrown on over a basic tee and skinny jeans is definitely appropriate for the occasion.  On Thanksgiving Day, we usually get a little more dressed up, but we will get to that later in the week ;-).  I know it's a little early to be planning for Thanksgiving, but it always sneaks up on me, so this year I'm planning far in advance.  These cardigans from Modcloth are also perfect for your annual fall festivities - apple picking, visiting the pumpkin patch and cozy weekends at the cabin.  Also, lightweight layers are perfect when traveling to see family and friends around the holidays.
How far in advance do you start planning for the holidays?

Thanks for reading!!

Hi ladies!!  I have put together some looks here that will transition from summer to fall.  I chose skirts that were to the knee or below and tops that could be worn alone now or would be perfect for layering in the fall.  I also added some lightweight jackets that provide warmth and a splash of color.  A nice jacket can make your look more sophisticated and modern.  A bright yellow or light blue sweater would also look great with the floral skirt and almost any color would coordinate with the camel skirt. The exact items are below and I also added some similar items here from more recognizable retailers:
