I am quite partial to red, and you can’t go wrong with the knit, denim, and boots combination for fall. A massive rainstorm is on the forecast, and today I will be out and about with the boys running errands and getting some time in at the park before the downpour. I’ve got a vintage cotton t-shirt on underneath the sweater, and I’m basically on cloud nine that it’s cool enough for boots and layers 🙂 .
I no longer buy skinny jeans, but when I saw these jeans at Gap last winter I had to have them. Technically they’re not skinny, but “girlfriend jeans” which is in-between the skinny and boyfriend styles from Gap’s denim line. These are perfect for girls with athletic legs that like a slim fit. They have a small bit of stretch but hold shape very well. The embroidery is what sealed the deal for me. Sadly they no longer have this exact pair available online (they are in some store locations),but I’ve included a link below for this season’s version that has a different embroidery pattern.
The sweater is passed down to me from my mom, so it’s now a family heirloom 🙂 . When I was a young girl we vacationed in Nantucket and Cape Cod, and I vividly remember my mom wearing it there which brings back such lovely memories of running in the sand at Childrens Beach and watching the stars on the hood of the car at Brant Point lighthouse. So in addition to being very soft and cozy, the nostalgia of this sweater makes it totally magical for me.
Last but not least, the rain boots. I bought these to take with me on our trip to London this past summer. I absolutely adore my tall Hunter rain boots, but they don’t play nicely in a suitcase. I didn’t want to spend a lot, but also needed a good quality shoe because I wouldn’t have time to break them in before the trip. After lots of searching I found these Sam Edelman Chelsea rain boots, and they were an excellent find. I only had to wear them one day in London, but it was the first day I had ever worn them and they were very comfortable the entire day which consisted of about 15 miles of walking. They come in a great selection of colors and finishes. An excellent addition to the boot collection.
