A FAIRISLE SWEATER AND CORDUROY PANTS FOR FALL
Today I am dropping my daughter off at the airport. She is heading back to Alaska, and Joe and I sure hate to see her leave. I know that she is probably anxious to get back to her home, but my home is sure going to feel empty without her there. To give you an insight into my daughter, she is natured exactly like her daddy. Sarcastic, mouthy, independent, and pushy, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Lol!
Her plane takes off at 5:30 am, and the airport is 1 1/2 hours away. She insists upon being there 2 hours early, so that means I have to leave the house at 2:00 am. I’m sure I’ll be tired, but instead of sleeping, I will be driving back to Virginia, which is another 3 1/2 hour drive. If tomorrow’s blog post doesn’t post at the usual time, you’ll know why.
I’ve always loved a Fairisle sweater. I love the design, and they are so pretty in the fall and winter. This one caught my eye because of the colors, but I like that it also has a design around the hips. Most Fairisle sweaters only have a design around the shoulders, so the design at the hips gives this one a unique look. I am wearing a medium that fits me great, and this sweater is less than $30.00! Here are a few more colors and designs for you.
Here is the length of the sweater in the back. It is nice and long without being too long. As you can see, the pattern extends around to the back also.
I love wearing corduroy pants in the fall and winter. The swooshing sound is something I enjoy hearing, but some ladies might find it annoying. Lol! That sound reminded me of my youth when I wore corduroy pants a lot. This Mason Plum color is so pretty and a cross between a berry and a purple. The sizes are limited in this color, but there are other colors available. I am wearing my usual size 10, and they fit me great.
Unique details are what I look for in my clothing and shoes. I love the color of these booties, but the buckles are what sold me on the boots. The chunky block heel is stable, and the 2.75″ heel is not too high. These run true to size, and I am wearing my usual size 9.
My daughter took my photos today, and she did a great job. She is 5’9″ tall, so you might notice that many of the pictures are above and looking down on me. She told me to walk up this sidewalk and walk toward her. But, when I flipped around, I lost my balance and started laughing. She said, “you’ve got to post this photo on the blog.” She thought that you would get a kick out of the photo.

You look awesome in those colors! My daughter lives 900 miles away from us in West Virginia so I enjoy your posts about Virginia and fashion. We are blessed💕
Love this look except for the turtleneck. Beautiful colors and unique design, suits you very well. Love the cords also.
Awwww. I know you are sad today. The house always feels empty when they leave.
I LOVE this outfit! Looks great on you and looks like you have lost weight? The colors and the fit are perfect on you. Safe travels!
I love the sweater! Beautiful colors today!!
Such pretty colors in both the pants and the sweater. Be safe on your journey today. That’s a lot of driving, especially when you’re tired after leaving so early in the morning.
Love the plumb color.
What a beautiful outfit in every way! You look fabulous in that color. I pray that you had a very safe drive to/from the airport, and that you are able to sneak in a nap today.
I just love all the colors lately. It’s true neutrals are classy but they are not as much fun. Especially this time of year when you can feel excitement in the air. A halfway normal Christmas. Yeah🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Not usually a fan of corduroy, but these pants might change my mind. Great outfit!
The plum color is amazing.
Love, love, love that sweater. And it’s already ordered!
Thank you for getting my dy started each morning. You look great in everything !! I am NOT a fan of corduroy, I do not like to be reminded that my thighs are rubbing together !! lol
Love that color combination! I have a soft spot for for those sweaters. You are a great mom, that’s is a lot of work to get your daughter to the airport.
Get some rest,
Love the colors in the sweater and the coordinating pants. Safe travels for your daughter!
Gorgeous sweater and I love the candid shot that you’re daughter took. So nice that you were able to spend Thanksgiving with all your kids & grandchildren.

Your daughter sounds fun to be around. Love her humor during your photo shoot.

The sweater is very pretty. I love the cable knit details. This looks great on you!
You look amazing (as always. What are you doing to lose all your weight?
what size is the sweater
What a pretty outfit. I love the color of both the top and pants and it looks good on you. It’s got to be tough to see your daughter go back to Alaska. Mine just lives a few hours away and I have a hard rime with that. She took some great pictures of you. Drive safely!!
Love both the sweater and slacks. Boots are awesome. Thank you so much for sharing.
