Autumnal Awesomeness: Fashion Haul



So I’ve been shopping a bit and I’ve found a few things that I’ve Fall-en in love with this season.  Autumn began on September 22th, but of course in the Mid-West we still have a tug-of-war with hot/warm days intermingled with cool/cold days so it’s around this time that my closet tends to become a complete mess.  Nonetheless, I love the feel of the cool crisp air and the sight of the leave as their colors change.  It’s also during this time;   I like to pull out a few of my sweaters and tights which allow me to smoothly transition from the Fall to Winter. 
 So during a recent visit to my local Lane Bryant this Labor Day weekend, I was really excited to participate in the holiday BOGO sale.  I picked up two ponte knit pencil skirts, one in arrowwood (mustard yellow) and the other in corsair (sea blue). I absolutely love the fit, style and texture of the skirt.  A few weeks prior, I had purchased a red pencil skirt at Target so  I didn’t hesitate when I walked in LB and saw a t-stand filled with colorfulpencil skirts.  The only difference I’ve noticed between the Target and the LB skirt is the hemline on the Target skirt has cinched hem  The Target skirt  hits right at the knees which makes the fit a bit  more flattering to my silhouette.  The price-points are affordable at about $19.99. 
The search is finally over and I’ve found a flattering peplum skirt from Ashley Stewart in classic black.  I love the fit but I’m on the fence about the material.  It has a bit of a sheen that I’m not overly excited about, but I’ll still rock it, lol.  I’m on the hunt for a trumpet skirt and can’t want to find it!
The final stop on my skirt journey ended at Macy’s.  I found 2 skirts by an unfamiliar line Tattoo Me.  I found a black tiered skirt and a coral flared skirt.  Both skirts a light material so  I’ll need to wear them both with tights. 

 Until next time, remember to Maximize your Potential.
