HOW TO WEAR PLAID WITHOUT LOOKING LARGER
How many of you find yourself doing things over and over again but going nowhere? If you are super organized, use a planner like it was intended to be used, and are always on time, then…I’m not sure that we can be friends. Lol! Actually, I am always on time; also, that is one good habit that I have. If you are the organized planner type, you need to come and live with me for about a month. I promise you, one of us would change, but it probably wouldn’t be me. 😝
I actually have several openings here at the Stephens household. If you would like to put in your application, I have the following openings. Cook, cleaner, personal assistant, personal trainer, IT person, decorator, hand-me-give-me girl, and social media guru. Pay is negotiable, but one of the perks of the job will be getting to listen to my dog, Lucy bark non-stop, and listening to Joe talk about golf and airplanes.
I have been crushing on this caramel color all fall long! This is not normally a color that I gravitate toward, but I can’t get enough this year. When I find something that I like, then I tend it buy it in several colors. That has happened with this cap-sleeved v neck sweater. I already own this sweater in a couple of other colors that they came out with early this fall, and I recently bought a blue one as well as this ginger-colored one. I love the style of this sweater, and I think that it is very flattering. The slight cap sleeve looks great when you wear it alone, and since it is almost sleeveless, it goes great under a blazer or cardigan. I am wearing a large since the sweater is fitted, and I think that this size fits me nicely.
The jewelry that I am wearing is all from Kendra Scott. I’ll give you all of the links from head to toe.

These pants might have you thinking that you’ve seen this post before. Click here to see the post that I am talking about. Even though the outfit is similar, all of the pieces in today’s look are new, except for the ankle boots. These tailored plaid ankle pants are super cute and chic. I think they look professional and dressy, and I especially love the button detail on the bottom of the hem. You know how I love unique details!!! I am wearing a size 10 in these pants, and they seem to fit true to size to me.
These pants would look great with pumps, heels, or even flats. But, today, I wanted to show you how you could wear higher shaft boots with cropped pants. These Sam Edelman Suede Ankle boots are gorgeous in person, and they have a buckle on them that adds a unique detail to make them stand out. I love the caramel color of these boots, and I am constantly reaching for them to wear with my outfits. They run true to size, and I am wearing my usual size 9 in these. These are on clearance for under $80.00, the caramel is almost sold out, but the black has plenty of stock.
The long cardigan is an old one that I’ve had forever. This is a cashmere cardigan that I bought on clearance, so I didn’t pay very much for it. But, since it is a classic style and color, I can wear it for years and years to come. I found several that look almost identical, and one of them is also cashmere and under $80.00.

I also love that deep caramel shade! I purchase a cardigan in that shade from QVC this year. I could go look at the tag to see the designer, but I have a cat on my lap. This color looks stunning with black, gray, dark burgundy, and denim. I wear a white collared blouse with my caramel cardigan for my usual preppy style. Thanks, Tania!
That made me laugh, Nancy. I know how cats can be when they don’t want to be disturbed.
I have ordered a few of the items that you have shown since I discovered your website. I wondered if you ever consider the style that takes into consideration your complexion color like Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter. I know you are blond and wear a lot of black in your photos. I was classed as a Spring a long time ago and was told that I shouldn’t wear black. Do you disagree with these assumptions. I have yellow in my skin tone. I had light brown hair, but had been dyeing it blond. Since I now have an immune disease that affects my skin, I am having to let my hair go natural to gray. Ugh. My skin is very red especially on my face from the disease. Do you have any suggestions on colors for me. Lately I just try the clothes on & then decide.
I’ve never had my colors done, I just choose what I like. However, if black doesn’t work with your skin tone, then try navy or even charcoal or gray.
Tania, I can’t imagine having to answer each and every one of your comments on a daily basis. There are days when you get so many it would take you hours. I always enjoy reading your blog. Thank you for adding enjoyment to my day!
There are days when it is too much for me, especially when you factor in all of the ones that I also get on Emails, Facebook, Instagram, and Instagram Stories.
I posted recently about linking to your prior Walmart post and buying 6 or 7 items, and thanking you for the time you put into this excellent blog. No reply from you, though there were only a handful of comments to that post, and never have had a reply to my former infrequent comments. Confirmed to me that you don’t care if I use your link, or just go to site independently, or if I comment.
Kathleen, I apologize if I made you feel that I don’t care. I am so sorry that I didn’t see your earlier comment and reply to you. You are right, there are times when I get busy, have already commented earlier back to others and don’t go back in to see if there are additional comments and days when I don’t feel great and don’t comment back at all.
