Buffalo Solider

As it's getting colder, I tend to lean towards warmer fabrics and patterns. The pattern option may seem odd but think about it. Plaids, fair isle, you get the idea. So today let's look at some great buffalo plaid options that are great stock up pieces for the colder weather.

Bloomingdale's, Voyager Buffalo Check, $98

How cozy does this look? I could wear this all winter. Dress it up with baubles and dress it down with a tee. I LOVE it.

Madwell, Penfield Chatham Buffalo Plaid, $80

Is this shirt a little spendy? Yes.  But you're paying for quality. The Massachusetts-based Penfield brand is a great investment. You'll have this shirt for a very long time.

Banana Republic, Buffalo Plaid Mini, $79

This is a great option to wear with booties, as the model shows. Make sure to buy the correct size. No one likes a stretched out plaid mini. Don't look at the number ladies, get the one that fits.

Free People, We The Free Vintage Printed Thermal, $58
I'm not sure why the model is staring at us like that but her thermal is sure to be warm and comfy this winter.

A simple buffalo plaid is a solid option for the colder weather, glam it up with pearls or keep it woodsy with some boots and jeans.

Saddle Up

Happy humpday! Hey, speaking of camels (stay with me) how about we talk saddle bags (segue of the season there guys).

Zara, Messenger bag with metal corners, $79

The structure of this crossbody is very unique. I love the hardware and the understated stitching.

Forever 21, Classic Saddle Crossbody, $18

A quiet bag that works with blazers or leggings.

Asos, Saddle Bag Crossbody, $44

Had to throw in a gold metallic option.

Levi's, Leather Saddle Bag, $68

A simple lipstick red bag is perfect for weekends.

Saddle bags are a great smaller option for fall and winter. You can find them in textures, colors, and shapes to fit your style.

I'm So Full

Sometimes when I want to feel feminine I put away the ribbons and the headbands, and dig out a big beautiful full a-line skirt. There is something intriguing about the volume and the need to do twirls is, well, understandable.

Asos, Scuba Midi Skirt with Buckle, $41

See what I mean? Lipstick red, lots of movement. Just lovely.

Modcloth, Essential Elegance Skirt, $69

A bright shade of green that will stand up to some layering. Try a graphic sweater with a patterned oxford underneath.

Shabby Apple, Stewart Skirt, $62

A simple gray with a removable sash so you can swap out your belts as you wish.

Nordstrom, ASTR Faux Leather Midi Skirt, $72

OK I may have saved the best for last. Check out this leather stunner.

So do a couple twirls and feel like a lady in these full midlength skirts.

On The Wedge of Glory

Happy Monday! I thought the exclamation point would help, but it's not. #realtalk. I think what we need is some shoes. Oxfords are a great option for fall because they look adorable with pants or minis. Today we're going to spice things up a bit and look at oxford wedges.

Dr. Scholl's, Cate, $89

I mean, really. Picture this, a cord mini, tights, a cable knit sweater and a puffer vest. Hello. 

Modcloth, On the Wingtip Wedge, $42

An nice simple gray that you can dress up or pair with skinny jeans.

Loft, Evonne Lace Up Oxford Wedges, $89

As Loft puts it 'part buttoned-up, part vixen'. Also comes in jet black.

DSW, Restricted Lark Wedge Pump, $53

Super girly with a great platform means extra height with extra comfort.

How amazing are these taller versions of the boys style? I love the sassiness with the utility of the lace and wedge.
