No, this is not my "domestic goddess" costume. haha Just a casual day at home cleaning house.
I have had this denim snap front top with metal shoulder studs for nearly 3 years and I think this is the first time I've worn it. I'm going to hang onto for the time being though and try to get more wear out of it. It would look cute layered under a sweater with the denim collar and shirt tail showing.

My style is leaning towards lots of denim, t-shirts, and scarves. I'm usually opting for loafers, but I also like a low heeled mule now and then too.
I like the color scheme of golden mustard, navy, and red... and also the pairing of stripes with the print scarf.

More and more these days I'm finding myself just wanting to keep things simple. These Trader Joe products are quick, easy, delicious, and help me do just that.
Hubby and I split the package of enchiladas and have 1 enchilda each for lunch about once a week. They are loaded with sauce and yummy filling. We top with a little bit of light sour cream.
I'm hooked on the guacamole for sure!
We have a little of it on something just about every day.
Turkey meatballs are another of our favorites. We have these once or twice a week. One way is just as spaghetti and meatballs. A second way is cut the meatballs into tiny bits and place the pieces on a split apart toasted english muffin that has a little pizza sauce spread on top. Then top the meatballs with a little low fat mozzarella, garlic powder, and basil, then heat in microwave till cheese melts. Mmmmmmm.....
Next is riced cauliflower. We probably only have this about once a month, but it's good as a rice substitute for a stir fry using lots of veggies and either a little bit of chicken or shrimp.
Simplicity is also finding it's way into my outfits. Slip on a pair of comfy leopard loafers with a pair of boyfriend jeans, tee, and cardigan... and I'm happy. :)

I thought this was a perfect scarf for the fall season and it matched my earrings and jacket so well.
I'm wearing just a basic dark gray tee with tan pants. Wearing a simple base and then adding interest with the scarf, earrings, bracelet, and jacket is my favorite way of dressing.
Shortly after I thrifted these loafers in 2012 the side seam busted open. These shoes were so soft and I loved them so much I decided to have them repaired. It only cost me $6 and so for a total cost of about $11 for the price of the shoes and the repair I feel it was well worth it because I wear them often.

This top has the look of a sweatshirt... however, it is much thinner than your typical sweatshirt and it's very soft...so it could be a tee...designed to look like a sweatshirt. ??
I have been so drawn to neutrals this year that I have gone a bit overboard in my purchases of gray and black tees and sweaters.
Over thrifting is my one weakness. ;)
Has anyone watched the series I'm referencing in my statement above? I just finished the 4th and last season of it (on dvd) last night and was sooooooo sad for it to end.

Many times I will opt for a totally neutral and sometimes monochromatic look. But other times I like to add just a bit of color to a neutral outfit by using scarves, a draped cardigan (like here) or even a pretty shade of lipstick.

I kept my whole outfit to neutral colors, but added a scarf with a large floral print. I kept the pieces classic by using black jeans, a tan short sleeved sweater, with a handbag and flats in tan and black. The flats have little bows on the toe and a bit of gold detail.
