so i was talking to my guy friend who asked about what kind of shoes i was wearing (he thought they were tap shoes) and then asked if i was wearing sweatpants. i said no, i was wearing a jumpsuit. he was very impressed by the fact that is was all one piece and told me that i wear the things he would wear if he didn't have inhibitions. i took this as a compliment. so today i wore a slouchy sweater over a floral shirt over a jumpsuit and pulled it together with a belt.

a ruffled cape, a ruffled plaid shirt, tall leather boots are all the makings of a wonderful fall outfit.

someone said to me today, "i love how you wear something that i would be thinking how or why would anyone wear that and then i look at the way you wear it and wish i had thought of this first." this was a real compliment for me. i like to see how i can wear different or interesting things. this sweater with a picture of a ballerina could very well be seen on the tshirt of a four year old. you have to think about how to wear it with out looking younger. yesterday, i went a little bit blonder and today i woke up feeling very girly. i wanted to wear something that showed this. i wanted to be pretty. by pairing this sweater with a black pencil skirt, tights, and tan booties, it made it more of a design then something from the toddler department.

nothing like a flannel shirt and bean boots. i threw in terry's acid wash deep v for a little fun. you may say i took a little inspiration from the show on saturday night, but when it is rainy and cold in the fall, my bean boots are the go to.

im starting to think that this sweater is the only thing that will keep me warm. i love the look over two bright colors that maybe many wouldn't pair together. i like to try different combinations and sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. i loved how this choice came out. this particular sunday was spent at a bridal shower for someone i didn't really know. i thought this would be casual enough if everyone was in jeans or dressier if they weren't. everyone was dressed different, so this worked well.

madgirl world.

if you looked at any runway for fall, there was an abundance of plaid and duck boots galore. this was the same at the mad girl fall runway show on Saturday. one major difference is that these models were wearing the original ll bean boot.there were a lot of energy and some great pieces to easily mix into your current fall wardrobe.

my two favorite pieces were a plaid floor length, high waisted skirt which is right one trend for this season. the ladylike skirt was belted with a camo shirt and pulled together with a plaid bow on her head and gloves. my other favorite piece was the plaid bloomers. i love shorts for fall and these have the right amount of a girly feel while not being over the top. i love the bandeaus they were paired with.

the menswear was great. there were deconstructed blazers, grandpa cardigans, and the perfect hunting jacket to wear when you are not hunting and probably have never hunted before. and lets not forget about the pretty hot snowboarding gear.

the mix of pieces were great for this season with the major return of the 'camp' look. it was a mix of real maine style, a small amount of prep, with glimpses of the major trends for the season. it doesn't hurt that meredith alex is an eco-friendly designer. the transformation of port city was awesome. it had the feel, and smell, of a lodge out in the woods. overall, it was a good show.
