VELVET IS A FALL TREND

Woohoo! I made it to Tennessee all in one piece. Lol! Joe flew me in his plane and it was a little bumpy. The day was gorgeous and I never even thought about it being windy. There was a slight breeze as we loaded the truck so I asked Joe about it. He assured me that it would be alright. When we got to the top of the mountain where the airport is located, the wind had picked up even more. When you live in the mountains you better get used to turbulence. When the wind travels across the land and it hits the mountain, it creates an updraft. I don’t mind a small amount of turbulence but this was bad enough that I had to grab the “Oh Crap” bar. After we got over a mountain ridge the weather settled down and it was smooth as silk for the rest of the trip. My mom met us at the airport and we unloaded the plane while Joe refueled and prepared to head back to Virginia. I gave him a kiss and watched as he took back off……………….with my purse in the back seat. No money, no credit cards, no medicine. I bought this gorgeous gold top when I was on my shopping excursion in Charleston. I am not sure if I got this at the Ann Taylor store or if I got it at the Loft. I loved this color and the cold shoulder style was cute because of the elastic. I think it is the cute little ruffle at the top that appeals to me. The should straps were wide enough for me to wear my normal bra with the top. I added a piece of fashion tape to the strap and my bra didn’t show.

I got this Elsie necklace out to wear when my mom was in town. She quickly pronounced that she was not a fan of this style. I put the necklace on and came out to take my photos and she quickly proclaimed that she was now a fan. Lol! It is a matter of seeing the jewelry with clothing. They both make the other look better. The necklace is in the antique bronze color so I added the Camie earrings of the same color. You can’t see my Betty bracelet in this picture but you can in some of the other photos. It is a leather adjustable bracelet that has added details that just matches the Elsie necklace.  I bought the top with every intention of wearing them with these pants. These are the Natalie velvet jeans are by Kut from the Kloth. I ordered them a while ago but I am just now getting around to wearing them. I love dark brown in the fall and I have noticed that velvet is a big trend this year. I am seeing it in all the stores, in pants and top also.

I knew these Leopard ankle boots would look great with these pants. This leopard print has deep brown and beige as the colors. I have other leopard print items that are more toward the yellow/gold color. I guess it is all dependant on the designer. These are called the Bridget Mod Booties and are from Target. The boots are really cute and very trendy right now. The heel is a chunky or block style and it is even covered in the print. I am thrilled with all of the descriptions you gurls have left for me. I told my mother that you could tell these answers didn’t come from family members because I didn’t see one grouchy, hateful, pushy, bossy, forgetful, mean, or aggravating comment. Lol! I guess we all have multiple sides to our personalities. Unfortunately, it is probably those closest to us that experience us at our worst.
