Dustings of Falls

You all know we’re here for a good pun, but this title was way too fitting! We are literally seeing dustings of fall in our parts. By that, we mean little splashes of reds, oranges, and yellows mixed in with the green leaves. Meanwhile, the mornings are growing crisper, it’s getting darker earlier and pumpkins are surfacing everywhere.

 I was at Trader Joes earlier this week and couldn’t believe the number of pumpkins, mums, and an entire display of pumpkin flavored foods! I then took to our Instagram stories to ask why none of you ask for my food recommendations from there..cue me laughing hysterically to myself. I don’t know why so many “influencers” are always posting responses saying everyone asks for my favorite Trader Joe finds. If you’re a food blogger, that checks out. But in these parts, we mostly try to stay in our lane.  Unless of course, we have something as incredible as a homemade crunch wrap supreme to show you. That very well could be our most reacted to story of all time. 

So I guess I just took myself full circle there, from lightly joshing about the Trader Joe stories to actually fully understanding it. We all just love food and want to share that love together. And what better way to get a recommendation from someone you have grown to trust. Even if it is just an internet friend!  Wow, that really escalated quickly and I’m shockingly not even hungry at this moment. 

We all know that I am a big fan of recreating an exact outfit, if the inspiration is there. I saw this duster and after immediately realizing I had all the makings for the outfit the model was wearing; I should probably just go ahead and purchase it. The entire length and fit are a long-limbed dream. Just take a look at that sleeve length. I am seeing myself cozied up in this soft beauty all winter long. 

Being the thrifty gal I am, aka cheap with weird things, I often find myself wrapped up in my bathrobe at home just to stay warm through the winter. My roommate and I loathe paying that higher bill so we keep it just warm enough to make sure our plants are happy. Now, this duster pretty much makes it acceptable to wear something the same size as my robe outside of the house which is a huge win in my eyes. 

This cami is something that I would consider a staple in my closet. The lace detail is so feminine yet simple and the fit is great for me even in a mainline size. I find myself pairing it with work skirts, the culottes from this post, and anything else you can imagine! It comes in a huge variety of colors as well. We’re talking 10+ yummy colors. And they are typically part of a BOGO 50% off.  I would buy them all if I could, but that seems a little out of hand, even for me. 

Insert here the million blog posts I am wearing these simple everyday heels in. You can shop all of our Amazon shoes here but these are easily a favorite of mine and they also come in a huge variety of colors. 

Happy Hump Day Tall fam, I hope you’re enjoying the beginning of this beautiful new month!
