Day 25: foxy

I never thought that a bright orange fur coat was a smart decision for a fox to be wearing out in the woods, but this weekend when I was in Arkansas for Thanksgiving, the leaves were perfectly fox colored - so when in the woods... wear orange!

Day 23: turkey

Remember that time I told you that layering with chambray can be tricky as it often leads to excess bulk... well, when covering turkey belly, a little extra layering is just what I needed!

Gobble, gobble, and give me seconds thirds!

Day 14: make it a double

I'm trying TWO new things in one outfit.... stop. the. presses.

{ What I Wore: J.Crew chambray shirt & olive wool skirt // Urban Outfitters plaid shirt // ShoeDazzle cap toe flats }

{ Get the look }

chambray shirt {$26.99} + plaid shirt {$19.99} + green mini skirt {$19.99} + black belt {$9.00} + cap toe flats {$29.99}

First, I am trying to continue enjoying my long hair by actually fixing it (before the my urges to chop it off take over) - this 'do is a half up with braids thing. Took about 4 minutes, and my hands didn't fall asleep - WINNING!

Second, I am wearing not one but TWO shirts. I have oogled at every way that Blair has rocked her double button downs { here & here to show off just a few }... but never thought I could pull it off. However, my need to get creative during my 30X30 Challenge finally gave me the courage... and I can't lie, I'm hooked!
