For you fellow Texas girls reading my blog….can I get an AMEN?
In the morning, I could totally wear a turtleneck sweater AND JACKET and feel perfectly comfortable.
In the afternoon, I could wear short shorts and a tank.
How is a girl to decide what the heck to put on her body????
Look to your left on a typical fall day in Texas, and you will see some ladies dressed like it is the middle of summer, looking like they are trying to get the last couple of wears out of their favorite summer shorts. Put them away ladies, put them away.
{Okay….totally jumping off the tracks here for a minute….but check out this UGG shoe (bottom right), and what about this tall boot (top right), or this dreamy platform boot (on the left)?
I had NO idea UGG made shoes that were this flippin’ cute!
I went to google “Ugg” just so I could throw up a picture of the UGG boots that we are all familiar with, but instead I found these little beauties.
FYI: UGG is very proud of their footware, and these examples range in price from $149-$349.}
Okay…sorry for the UGG shoe aside, but I felt this new development ( at least new to me) at UGG needed some attention.
Back to October in Texas.
Why?
Like I said…..layers.
And…. a flat is a PERFECT shoe for this time of the year.

Oh…I almost forgot!
I want to let you guys know about an AWESOME business venture started by a girl from my high school. It is called Re-Finery, and you can read about it here.
My friend Alissa started a super cool consignment business out of her home.
Look how cute Alissa is with her family!
Alissa gets great designer brands like Tory Burch, Marc Jacobs, etc (most of it is hardly ever worn), and then she sells it at deeply discounted prices. And since
she is having a big fall sale this week, I thought it would be a great time to tell you guys about her business and what type of inventory she has.
Like this Louis Vuitton bag.
I think both of them would fit into my closet quite nicely!
(Please keep in mind that Re-Finery has hundreds and hundreds of items in stock.
Because they receive different and unique pieces weekly, only a fraction of the items are featured on the website).
Here is the info. for their show this week:
Hooray for FALL!
Come shop Re-Finery’s latest inventory
Wednesday, October 10 from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm and 6-8 pm

Thanks Alissa for letting me share your business with my readers!

Sheaffer–same problem for dressing in Tennessee. Unfortunately, I think it explains why my kids lose so many jackets. Wear them in the morning when it's freezing (okay, the 50's and 60's!) and then forget to take it home at the end of the day because it's 80!

Quick Question: Do you think any skin tone can wear mustard? I have been dying to jump on the yellow/mustard train this year, however I feel like I can't pull it off with my light hair and hair pale winter skin tone.

Too funny! I think that was the exact outfit I wore to the fair yesterday – you are right – good minds do think alike 🙂 I am loving the colored jean look. Thanks for posting about Re-finery's sale- Alissa really does have some amazing stuff and for great prices!!!
