Autumn Inspired Outfits {Featuring Amy from Keepin' up with the Smiths}

HAPPY HALLOWEEN and now I will hand it over to Amy! :) Thanks Amy!!

Hi Few of My Favorite Things readers! My name is Amy. I blog over at keepin' up with the Smith's where I write about being a new SAHM to Cash, recipes, DIY projects & life in between.

I will be filling in for Kristen today & am so grateful that she is trusting me with her blog! Is she not one of the sweetest, nicest ladies out there? I'm so glad that we have become blog friends! 

Today, I will be sharing with you autumn inspired outfits! {By the way, isn't autumn a prettier word than fall?} Pinterest is one of the best inventions ever! All of your favorites in one place! {heart} If interested, you can follow me here. I get so much time wasted many of my recipes, DIY projects & wardrobe wannabe ideas from this place.

Let's get inspired, shall we?

{1}

This outfit has Autumn written all over it. From the checkered scarf to the rustic colored bag & ending with the leather bracelet. All you need is a pumpkin spice latte & I think you are all set.

 

{2} I'm loving the color combo of orange & navy lately! Throw in a plum colored bag & cream & white layered sweater to complete the look.
 
{3} This is my favorite look out of the {5} that I will be showing you: a basic white shirt, pair of jeans & flats. However, throw in the blue bag, earrings & scarf completely jazzes this outfit up!

 

 {4} In WI, you occasionally get the chance to wear a dress in the fall {last week we had {2} days in the 70's.} By adding the leather belt to the dress, helps you achieve the autumn look you are trying to achieve. A cozy sweater because by the time you leave work it will drop twenty degrees {at least here in WI}.

 

{5} Last but not least is this cutesy, comfy outfit. I'm a big fan of the leg warmer/sock things under the boots. The bag is so cute, too!

 

What is your favorite go to outfit or piece of clothing for autumn?

 Thanks again for having me Kristen! I would love to have you stop by & keep up with the Smith's!!

It's a Pinterest kind of day and a Walkabout!

I love fall fashion! The boots, sweaters, scarves. Here are a few outfits I pinned recently :)

  My husband and I are moving! Yes, moving! Not far but I'm doing a lot of organizing right now and these printables are going to be great when I make my "home" binder.

Fabric Button Earrings

While visiting my mom last week, we came across her old jar of buttons. Now, it was a miracle that we even found them because we searched high and low for those suckers about a year ago! Of course when you aren't looking for something, ah ha, you find it! In the button jar I found these Vintage, RISDON Self Cover Buttons! I couldn't figure out what year they were but they were only 50 cents! Now they are a whopping $4.00, but don't let that discourage you. I used a 40% off coupon and got them cheaper than that!

I decided to make earrings out of them! I'm sure you have seen them. I have seen them in the boutiques around town and on Etsy! I think they are so cute and classy. They remind me of the jewelry from the 50's :) Now, get started making yourself a pair for every outfit!!

                                                                      
 The Supplies

                                                                           

 Note: I chose to use 5/8 (1.6cm) sized buttons. I thought that was a good starting out size. I may make them bigger next time :) I think if you go any smaller, they won't turn out right.

30x30 Challenge

I'm starting this challenge a little late in the game but I think it's too great to pass up. I may have to catch up the best I can. What is this challenge you may ask? Well, I'm linking up with Lauren at  From My Grey Desk Blog for the 30x30 challenge, where you take 30 items (shoes, jewelry, scarves, shirts, dresses, skirts, ect.) from your closet and make 30 newly inspired outfits with them! I don't know about you but anytime there is a special occasion like a wedding, shower or birthday party to go to, I feel like I have to have a new outfit.
