Ode To Old Navy Rockstar Jeans

Hi! Please meet the best thing that's happened for my legs, butt, and stomach. I'm not 15 anymore. Pants will never be purchased if they give me a plumber-caboose. So these were like a dream come true! The rise is high enough to be age appropriate, and they look great paired with boots or flats (haven't tried heels yet). They're easy to pull on because of the stretch, but tight enough that they feel just like Spanx! The best part is that these jeans only ran me $20 a pair.

I purchased them in black and dark indigo. Love.

Is there something you've picked up for fall/winter that you're just as excited about?

The Jeggings Debate

Yes I bought them. And no, they're not acid wash like our lovely friend Sienna Miller is sporting. Mine are a dark shade and appear to have the "brown" seam up the side like genuine denim. They were a steal ($10 at Old Navy) and I can't wait to wear them. But there's a problem, I don't know how to wear them! I have the following types of boots at my disposal, but I'm at a loss for tops. I'd love to get some flowy shirts (that cover my butt) or come cute little tunics, but I haven't had much luck finding any.

Do you wear jeggings, or the more popular skinny-jeans-tucked-into-boots trend? If so- what do you wear on top, and where are you getting these shirts? Thanks!

*Both black and brown, flat and heel. These are similar styles, since mine are all from past seasons and I couldn't find pictures*

Fall Fun

Mr. SE and I are enjoying life after the wedding SO much. Lots of people ask whether things have "changed" and I always reply with an enthusiastic "Yes! We don't have plans anymore!" And it's so true. Life before the wedding is running here, running there, and crossing items off an enormous to-do list. Now the only item on our list is to cherish each other and enjoy every day together! (and some to-do items that pop up from Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, or Lowe's)

September started off great with us enjoying lots of football, and cheering on our hometowns. Mr. SE is a Falcons guy, and I love the Redskins! Which brings me to my fun purchases over the past month....

Amazing NFL t-shirts from Old Navy; they're so soft and feel like you've owned them for 10 years. I bought both the Falcons and Redskins ones.

Sweaters! The #1 reason that I semi-enjoy cold weather. I love a good sweater, especially with some great layers of tissue tees underneath. This one caught my eye (dare I say) before September, and I swiftly picked it up.

OPI Russian Navy. There's already two colors (Bastille My Heart, Lincoln Park After Dark) in my fall/winter OPI rotation and I was pleased to add another.

 I first saw these boots on Piperlime but obviously bought through Zappos because I live for that company. The leather is so buttery, and I love that you can wear them up or down. These could potentially be worn with jeggings for winter. More on those later- but I'm definitely considering it.



That's all for me! Have you done any fall shopping yet? I'd love to hear what things you've picked up to make your transition into a new season!
