Yesterday was cold. Well cold-ish but enough that I got to wear my herringbone jacket. And it's going to be chilly all week so it looks like summer is finally over.
I've had this jacket for about a decade now and it's still a favorite. A black t-shirt and wranglers complete my look. So easy and simple even I can do it. What's your easiest, simple look? x
So love this look! You don't have to wear skin-tight clothing to reveal an attractive female form! It looks comfortable, chic, and the colors are classic!
ReplyDeleteAlso appreciate the frequency of your posting! Thank you for this ongoing girlfriend-conversation of interesting topics. Yes, even to what you wore!! :D

thank you charlene and thank you for reading! x
DeleteLove the way you have updated this with the frayed hem and ankle boots! Chic as heck!
ReplyDeleteawww thank you lisa! x
DeleteI don't know if you've addressed this in a previous post, but how do you keep your woolen items from being damaged by moths? Thanks.
ReplyDeletei have written a post or 2 on that subject. i would google it bc there is a ton of info out there. this is what i do and it seems to be working. i was storing some cashmere pieces for too long i think. i just wasn't wearing them and when i took them out during a declutter they had moth holes in them. i followed a bunch of advice and so far no moths. first of all i don't store things for too long, i try and wear them. that way they are getting washed regularly. i use the laundress detergent made specifically for wool and cashmere sweaters. it's pricey but worth it so far. and a little goes a v long way. i also put a couple of lavender sachets in the drawer where they are stored. altho i've read that has no benefit whatsoever. so that's pretty much what i do. hope this helps. x
DeleteI agree with all the comments above, stylish but simple and not skin tight! I too love the frequency of your posts -- keep them coming! :)
ReplyDeletethank you sharon! x
DeleteThis is an awesome outfit, Janet. The style of the jeans makes it all so very contemporary and uber cool. Cheers, Ardith
ReplyDeletethank you ardith. i cannot comment on the soup recipe bc for some reason blogger will not allow me to. i LOVE it and plan to make it soon and will post it here! i can't wait! thanks for sharing. x
DeleteMy easiest, simple look is something that probably dates me...jeans, long-sleeve white t-shirt (I live in Michigan), and a cardigan sweater. Go for it every time. I love jackets, but at 5' 1" tall, I often feel like they overpower me. They look great on you. Love the outfit!
ReplyDeletekathy your outfit sounds so cozy. i'll wear ts and cardis for as long as i can. they are perfect for southern calif weather which seems to require 3 different outfits during the fall bc of temp changes. x
DeleteI like that jacket and it goes so well with your jeans...it adds a chic touch.
ReplyDeleteMy easiest cool weather outfit to wear :
denim jeans rolled up at the bottom, black Chelsea boots, a white short sleeved top and a grey cashmere sweater with a scarf wrapped around my neck for extra warmth.
Stay cozy!
thanks leslie and wow that sounds so chic. i wear that too but i don't wear gray and i don't have a pair of chelsea boots which i've been looking at for about 3 seasons now. maybe it's time to buy??! x
DeleteEasiest outfit today was long black tee ..polka dot black cream orange scarf..jean skirt..black leggings..flats.
ReplyDeleteLove Target tees as they are thin and cool to wear.
Thank you for your post. Always a day brightner.
thanks nancy. your outfit sounds quite chic! i love those thin target tees too. x

Great look. My favorite outfit is very similar, and sometimes I like to wear distressed brown leather boots instead of black. I just purchased the jane blush, could you also share your lipstick brand and color?
ReplyDeletethank you lala. i plan to do a post this month on all my makeup bc i've gotten several requests. i've recently switched from mostly aveda to mostly jane iredale. her colors are just so good and the product is amazing!
DeleteKIMONO over exercise pants!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteXX
sounds fab #! x
DeleteYou know what i like the most...next to that bomb jacket that is....is your hair. I'm so proud and happy that your letting your natural color come through. I haven't the guts yet to let it go. But I'm getting closer. Thanks for letting it go.
ReplyDeletethanks, it was easy! x
DeleteAs always, you look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite outfit is jeans, a black tee, black boots and a gray cardigan or jacket.
thanks betty. i wear that a lot too except my sweater would be cream or camel, just not gray.x
DeleteYou look lovely Janet. Did you recently cut your hair? I thought it was longer than above your shoulders? It looks nice.
ReplyDeletethanks e/s. no i actually need a trim. i'm wearing in natural in this photo so it appears quite a bit shorter. i normally blow out my hair and i must gain 2" by doing that! x
Deletebeautiful and classic outfit, Janet. In the transitional months of fall, I like to throw a cable knit pullover over a cotton summer dress and pair it with tights and boots. Makes me feel comfy and pulled together on the weekends and extends my summer wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteoh that sounds so cute mags. i'm not sure i could pull that off but man i love that look! x
DeleteClassic and beautiful, just like you.
ReplyDeleteI’m loving your more frequent posts...little nuggets of goodness to encourage me through the week.
I’ve never worn blazers - I always thought of them as too formal and stiff. I will reconsider now...

thanks stephanie. i'm more of a coat or cardigan lady too but i do love that jacket in particular! x
DeleteClassy! I'm looking for a similar thin belt in that same color. I have one, but it's beginning to show its age :( May I ask where you found yours?
ReplyDeletemine was a gift from a friend. she bought it in england years ago. i did add a pretty banana republic cognac belt at the end of the post. i love the covered buckle, as a matter of fact alex gave me one just like that and it's one of my favorites. i'll be sure to wear it in an outfit soon x
DeleteYou look so cute and carefree and pulled-together!
ReplyDeleteShoot! I need to put a little thought into my look.
Was wondering if you ever did a post on the high-rise skinny jeans that you had ordered. Did you fray the jeans in the post yourself or buy them already done? xo Kay
thanks kay. the jeans i ordered were too small so i sent them back and just have not had time to reorder them. i really plan to bc the jeans were great material and workmanship. i did just cut these off bc they are mens jeans and too long.:) x
DeleteI wore this is exact same outfit on Monday, except I had on a long sleeved black top and long camel wool coat. It was cold! Love your style Janet.
ReplyDeleteoh that sounds so pretty emily. x
DeleteI love your herringbone jacket! And are you taking a scissors to all of your jeans too?
ReplyDeleteonly these vintage wranglers bc they are mens sized and really long. if i want i can hem them at some point but for now this is it. :)
