Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Well, my laptop is still suffering from a virus, but I was able to get my camera software uploaded onto my desktop, so I'm back with a short post!

Last weekend I went to a pumpkin patch and corn maze with a few of my friends.  Even though I knew I'd be spending most of the day trekking through dirt and corn stalks, I still wanted to wear an outfit that I felt good in and wasn't too afraid to get a little dirty. 

I chose to wear a pair of my jean leggings (sooo comfy!) with a knit, plaid shirt.  I added a thin belt around my waist as an accessory, as well as a beaded bracelet that was gold, silver, and brown, just like the shirt.  I elected to wear my Blowfish gray boots since they're flats and are super easy to clean.  These boots have been a fall back of mine for the last few years whenever I've needed shoes that were easy to walk in and that could withstand a little wear and tear.  I love them because they're comfortable but still cute.  They have a nice, thick sole too with plenty of support.



 

The pumpkin patch was a lot of fun.  My friends and I managed to get lost in the maze for about two hours (the boys refused to get a map), and we were all able to pick out our own pumpkins from a big patch.  Pumpkin carving pictures will be coming, as well as a Halloween costume post!  Check back soon :-)

Fierce Comfort

It's a beautiful day in Chicago and I'm getting ready to don my mask and run some errands.  I had a quick protein shake and am about to head out but I wanted to quickly share one of my favorite tops with you since it's on sale for $9.99 today!  Today, I'm wearing a a Miselon twisted knot leopard print shirt.  It's honestly one of the softest shirts I own.  I love that it has a dressy look but is comfortable enough to lounge in.  I also like the knotted front because it gives the shirt some shape and accents your waistline.  The back is long enough to pair with leggings since it just covers your butt.  This shirt comes in 8 different colors/patterns, and I just ordered another one for myself! I'm also wearing my Spanx faux-leather leggings in a medium (usually, I wear a small).  I ordered up a size because they are snug by nature but I like a little extra wiggle room.  I love these because super stretchy and soft on the inside, and conce...

Alex Erinn Try-On Haul

Image
I want to share several pieces with you that I discovered while shopping a new online boutique called Alex Erinn.  What I love about this boutique is that they're always receiving new inventory and staying on top of the trends.  When I was approached by Alexandra, the owner of the boutique, and asked to check out some of their pieces at a discount, I was thrilled!  Below are a few of my favorites.  You can check out the full boutique here , and save 15% on your order with code rachael15. The first is this lace peplum blouse.  I've been trying to find one of these shirts for a long time, and finally found one that fits!  What makes this blouse different from others I've tried is amount of  movement it allows.  The lace sleeves are not restricting, and the bodice is lined with a satiny material that is super soft.  I also adore this particular top because I can still wear a normal bra.  The stitching on the shoulders is thick enough ...

Hey All You Cool Cats and Kittens

Okay, so we finally jumped in and binge watched  Tiger King .  I want thank Carole Baskin (who definitely killed her husband) for reigniting my love of animal prints.  I've always been a big fan of leopard print, but I just recently snagged this leopard print puff sleeve fleece sweatshirt from Express.  I love this shirt because it's comfy for working from home and dressy enough for video meetings with students and parents.  I paired it with the Kinsley necklace from Park Lane and my Spanx faux leather leggings. I've talked about my Spanx faux leather leggings before, but I'm going to talk about them again because I cannot get over how comfortable they are and how well they've held up after so many wears and washes.  Normally, I would never spend close to $100 on a pair of pants (and I didn't on these; they were a gift from my husband), but I can honestly say that I will be buying a new pair for myself when these are too worn.  They fit like a glov...
