By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer's best of weather,
And autumn's best of cheer.
~Helen Hunt Jackson
I have been in my glory this week.
The days are cool but sunny, and the
nights are chilly enough for a fire. And the layers are back, baby! The beauty-full weather must get my mojo going, because I finally got around to recreating a few of my favorite Pinterest outfits.

Here's the original {posh} version of the outfit:
Here's my budget-friendly version:
Sweater: Banana Republic
Gingham shirt: Old Navy
Jeans, flats: Target
Pearls: Dress Barn {I think? They're old!}
I love this one, too, but it seems a bit on the summery side.
When I saw this dress at Target, though, I knew I could re-imagine it for fall.
Dress, belt : Target
Jeans: Old Navy
Boots: Keens
Necklace: Allora Handmade
I felt like this dress/sweater combo was cuter in real life, but the angle of the photo doesn't do it justice.
Sweater, dress: Lands End
Belt: Target
Shoes: Macy's
I love this sweater {I have it in gray, too}. It's like wrapping up in a big ol' blanket.















I like the sweater from lands end.
ReplyDeleteIt's so cozy and warm too. It's wool, so it can be a bit itchy around the neck, but I can live with that! ;)
Deleteyou're so darn cute!
ReplyDeleteCheryl :)
I love all of these outfits! I am totally copying the first with the gingham for work tomorrow:) Is that dress a recent find from target (striped one?) sooooooo cute!
ReplyDeleteHi Melodee! Yes, the striped Target dress is a recent purchase. Here is the link to info, although it looks like it isn't available online anymore. http://www.target.com/p/merona-women-s-jersey-dress-w-tunnel-belt-assorted-colors/-/A-14095714
DeleteGreat outfits all! I like the cozy sweater
ReplyDeleteIs that navy and white dress still at Target? I love it!! You are so creative with recreating these outfits!
ReplyDeleteHi, Ashley! The dress was selling fast from my Target, but I just got it last week. They had it in several other colors, too. Good luck :)
DeleteToo cute, love them all! I totally get it about the sweater, those are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteIs that Lands End sweater still available? It looks so yummy!
ReplyDeletei want to know this too!
DeleteYes! I just checked their website and it's still there, but only in limited sizes. It is really cheap though! Here's the link: http://www.landsend.com/pp/womens-circle-cardigan-sweater~229857_59.html

I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this, but I'm usually still up. I'm kind of a night-owl, though. Lindsey usually puts the post up at midnight, west coast time, so I just wait till it's up.
DeleteJessie, love your outfits! I love to find inspiration in others and what they found. I can't wait for this fall weather to come and stay for awhile because I have a few pair of boots to wear and show off! Love your blog too...think I'll stay for awhile!
ReplyDeleteKim M.
Thanks Kim! I'm so glad you stopped by! :) And I totally agree about the boots; I've been waiting for the chance to wear mine!
DeleteLove these outfits! I've been looking for a blue and white striped dress like the one you have on...guess I'll be checking Target soon! Looks great with the belt and boots! Also, that sweater looks so comfy!

I love your WIW posts! I especially appreciate that you'll also share your "around the house" outfits. You have a great style and give me a lot of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shannon! You're so sweet. I'm a SAHM, so most of my outfits are comfy/casual. I'm glad you like them! Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteOh my gosh you are so cute!!! And you are an excellent mimicker of Pinterest outfits!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Paige! I'm pretty uncreative when it comes to clothes, so Pinterest is a great source for ideas. :)
DeleteI like your version of the striped better :) its so fall like and cute and i need it too ;)
ReplyDeleteoops that would be striped *dress
DeleteGreat job recreating outfits. I always pin but rarely try it myself. I need to change that. You look great as always!

love it!!! thanks for stopping by my blog too so I could pop over and see yours! love your striped dress version from summer to fall! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like your pairing of the dress and jeans. I don't wear pants, the occasional legging to go under skirts/dress and during fall/winter. I never feel like I can pull off the look. You look adorable!

I love how you use Pinterest for inspiration. I've never really tried to recreate any of the outfits I've pinned, something I really need to do. You look great as always, and I especially love the first pic:)
