Fall Fashion on a Friday...and a giveaway!

I am all ready for fall! I have pieces in my wardrobe that have been waiting 2 whole years for me to have another baby and shrink back down to be able to wear them again. I am excited to have a real wardrobe this year (not just expandable options). Here's what I will be donning this season. And. AND! There is a GIVEAWAY from my favorite Etsy jeweler, Crystal B., at the END OF THIS POST. (Kind of like Grover and "There's a Monster at the End of this Book," only it's a beautiful pair of earrings, not a monster...)

Let's begin:

Meet Cosette. She is my model for today. It's hard to photograph yourself with an SLR camera. Sometimes I manage it, but Cosette likes a little camera time, too. She also has quite a lovely figure to show off.

Here Cosette is modeling a dark denim jacket and bright, gauzy scarf. Find them HERE and HERE. On the right she is feeling a little shy in her gray wool cloche hat and button sweater. Cloche found HERE.

Speaking of Crystal B., just look at this stunning necklace from Crystal that I added to my collection this week. Isn't it DIVINE!? I absolutely love it. You can find Madame Bailey HERE. Purple sweater found on sale HERE.

Dear, sweet Stephanie Nielson sent me a lovely gift this week. What a fancy find inside the package!! This gorgeous Victorian-inspired wrap is quite possibly the most wonderful accessory I have ever seen. I am so happy to own one (more photos of how to wear it at the end of the post). Find it HERE. As Stephanie says, "It really is a beautiful thing!"

Flirty skirt on crisp days. Warm tosies on chilly days. Skirt found HERE, boots HERE.

I adore these boots. I bought them 3 years ago, and my plump prego peds couldn't handle them last year. Welcome back! And I finally found a skinny jean that looks good on normal people (aka, people who's thighs aren't rail thin). Find them HERE.

And finally, these photos are especially for my sister-in-law and beautiful friend Tiffany. She always excels at taking fetching photos of herself. So I dedicate this little bit of vanity to you, Tiff. We all need to feel beautiful, no?

And now for the giveaway!

Crystal B. Jewelry is giving away a pair of Madame Livingston earrings to compliment your fall wardrobe. The giveaway will END Monday night at midnight. The winner will be announced Tuesday morning (October 13) on my blog.
