Peridot Skies: H&M

Fall Colors

October 14, 2015

I mentioned earlier this week I was sharing fall looks with items I bet you probably already own in your wardrobe. Putting together a great look shouldn't always revolve around a new purchase. Sure, we all like something new but realistically can you justify your time shopping every single week? I love to shop as much as the next person but time is valuable and I don't want to always be in stores or shopping online. Not to mention if I already own something similar it's a great savings too! Right now Shopbop is having a sale which they rarely offer so if you have your eye on a few things or want to get a jump on your holiday shopping use code INTHEFAM25 ... and now would be a good time to get them!

I am going to break down this look for you to show you how easy it is to create your own fall look from your closet.

Cardigan. I bet you have a few in different colors. If you don't, Old Navy or Target would be where I would start. They offer a wide selection of colors at an affordable price.
Speaking of Old Navy, this chambray shirt is a staple I picked up there a few seasons back. They never go out of style.
Distress denim. You must have at least one pair. If not, any pair of denim will do.
Scarf. Umm hello? You probably have more than you realize.
Leopard pumps. Any neutral color will work.
Accessories. Throw on a few bracelets ( I would choose gold jewelry for tans, browns, and orange colors, and silver jewelry for black, gray, and red)

Blanket Scarf

November 10, 2014

Bracelets

Happy Monday. How was your weekend? Mine was spent resting to get over this cold (I think it's gone) and running a few errands. Friday night we went to see the movie St Vincent and we loved it. Bill Murray's performance was phenomenal. Saturday I popped into Madewell to support a blogger friend who was hosting a sips and shopping event. I took advantage of the sale and discount and picked these fab shoes on serious sale!

Blanket scarfs are still so popular this year and the same plaid seems to keep showing up on a lot of girls. There is something to be said for not following the crowd... this is a favorite of mine. Maybe its the pink stripe or the fact that it's so neutral. One of the benefits to a blanket scarf is they are larger than say a "normal" scarf, and generally they are square so there is more to bundle around you. The other benefit to it is you can drape it over your shoulders for another look and added warmth. With so many different plaid scarfs available right now there is sure to be a color combination that suits you. The weather is scheduled to turn drastically colder tomorrow with a high of 38 and that is perfect blanket scarf weather, not to mention gloves and hats too! I'm not ready for fall to turn to winter yet are you?

Tip my Hat

Either you can wear a hat or you can't! Which are you? I can wear a hat and rock it pretty comfortably all day so when I picked up this hat at H&M I knew it would be versatile all summer. I have long worn a baseball cap for the days I need a quick hair solution on the weekends for errands, and you will always find me at the pool or beach with a hat in my bag. This is definitely more fashionable than a baseball cap don't you think? The humidity and temperatures were high the day I wore this outfit so light colors were in order for a day of outside shopping. I prefer to shop outside malls rather than larger enclosed malls. I think the enclosed malls distract me from shopping and I end up frustrated. Do you ever feel that way too?

In case your wondering about these sunnies that are on my birthday list I posted here, these are Gayle's I borrowed for a test drive to see if I really liked them.... and I do! If you follow me on instagram, than you know that I cut 6 inches off my hair after these pics were taken. I was so ready for a change and could not believe it was so long. I can't wait to share pictures with shorter hair to see what you think!

Sheer Blue

July 17, 2014

Bracelets

I mentioned last week that my best girl was back in town. She took these pictures for me as we headed out for dinner on the plaza. We had a wonderful long weekend catching up and just enjoying some girl time. I cannot believe summer is half way over too! I mentioned last year several times that I really wanted to add more color to my wardrobe.... and particularly the color blue. Do you ever just look at your closet and feel it's missing a spectrum of the rainbow? The good news is... I now find myself shopping for blues and greens, with pink always an option!

What I want to point out is this blouse is my first purchase from H&M. I have mentioned before that I always felt like it was geared for much younger girls, and cut for them too. Gayle talked me into giving them another try and I am glad I did. We found this perfect longer blouse for wearing with legging. I love that the shoulders are a full cut too so a strapless bra isn't necessary. I layer my blouse over a lace bandeau, threw on my favorite wedges and it was a comfy outfit for a girls dinner, and for running around it's perfect with flats too. I picked up several pieces form H&M and love them all. I'm so glad I gave them another chance. Now that's not to say I will always be this lucky there, but I will keep it as an option for sure! Do you have a store that you pass on? Maybe you should give them another look.... I'm glad I did!
