Monograms are a huge weakness for me. It really doesn’t matter what the item is, if it’s monogrammed, I want it! However, since getting married a few years ago I’m always a little lost on which letters I should use. Middle name? Maiden name? Or just AJ? I’ve actually done it all three ways which is probably super confusing, but I like to have options. With this bag I went with my middle name, which is Constance (my mom’s name) if you’re curious.

When I got this dress back in July I pictured myself wearing it with booties and maybe a hat once it became fall. Well now that we’re into October I figured it was time!

In my 20’s rompers were my summer go-to, but I haven’t worn them as much lately. I actually just cleaned out my closet and got rid of a bunch of old ones that were either too short, tight or worn. That’s how much I loved them!

In the winter I get sick of wearing pants everyday, even when it’s cold. So my solution has been dresses with jackets and layers, sometimes I throw on tights or over-the-knee boots if it’s really cold. I was able to brave it this day and wear my new floral dress with this suede jacket over. I have to admit, I was a little cold but it felt good to get out of my wardrobe rut. Plus it’s much more comfortable to throw a dress over the bump instead of pants.

I’m really loving all the wine colored shades for fall like this burgundy dress. I paired it with my over-the-knee-boots and fun new tassel bag for a look that I think would be perfect for Thanksgiving. Plus this dress has a looser fit so you won’t feel constricted after all the eating and drinking that comes along with the day. The best part about wearing OTK boots with a dress is only a sliver of your legs show so it’s almost like wearing pants. If you live somewhere a little colder, you could always add a pair of tights for extra warmth.

I’m really enjoying comfy basics right now, sweaters, boots and anything cozy to get me in a fall mood. I feel like I’ve been stock piling sweaters but can’t seem to get enough of them! It’s so cold when I go to work in the morning so the stock piling is paying off… at least until 11 am 😉 I love the cutout in the shoulder on this one, I always look for little details like that to make them stand out.
