What We Wore {Fall}

Last Saturday we went to a family reunion.  The weather had suddenly turned cooler, so I was glad to finally be able to wear this cardigan that I found on sale at Target this summer.  Almost everything else I wore has been in my closet for a long time.  On a whim, I added the gray & white striped scarf just to add a bit of warmth.  Is that too stripey?  And, my hair was wet as usual.  I should use the hair dryer sometimes, but I’m usually in too much of a hurry!
Denim Skirt:  QVC, about 3 years ago
Cardigan:  Target
Gray Tank Top:  Target
Organic Cotton Knit Scarf:  50 cents at a thrift store!
Mary Jane Keds:  I’ve had these for 5 or 6 years, purchased at a buy 1 get 1 free sale at a local shoe store
I love these shoes.  They’ve been in my daughter’s closet the past few years, but she kindly let me wear them.  🙂
Here’s what I wore the following day, which was Sunday:
Skirt:  From my daughter’s closet (she no longer wants it), originally purchased at a thrift store
Brown Tank:  thrift store
Denim Jacket:  From my daughter’s closet (she got a new one and gave me this one!)
Belt:  Zulily
Lace Scarf:  Zulily
Shoes:  Eastland shoes my husband won in a contest
Zulily is a great place to find scarves and belts.
I still love these leather boots that my husband got for free!
My two older daughters joined me in the pictures.  It was cool enough that my daughter got out her furry boots.

  1. I love all the stripes and those Keds are super cute! I look a nice looking, comfy shoe.

    Also, I'm interested in the L'BRI makeup. I've been looking into Cowboy Dirt (found out about it through your blog) as my Mary Kay is running out and I'm slowly switching to more natural body cosmetics and toiletries, from top to bottom. 🙂
    I also have sensitive eyes and I'm happy with my Mary Kay mascara but I want something else, something more natural. I'd love some more information on Cowboy Dirt vs. L'BRI. Thanks!

    1. Thanks, Ginny!

      Regarding the L'BRI vs. Cowgirl Dirt, here's a simplistic answer. I personally think the ingredients in Cowgirl Dirt are better than the ones in the L'BRI makeup. The Cowgirl Dirt uses organic, natural ingredients. L'BRI uses good ingredients for the most part, but it's not as pure as the Cowgirl Dirt.

      Why would someone choose L'BRI over Cowgirl Dirt? Primarily for performance. The L'BRI products are more professional-looking and perform better (overall) than the Cowgirl Dirt.

      So, it depends on what you're looking for. Complete purity, or somewhat pure with better performance? For some people, the choice will be simple–they want a pure product made with organic, all-natural ingredients. And for that, Cowgirl Dirt is excellent. But others prefer a more polished product that performs more like something you'd get from a professional makeup company. And that's where you'd turn to L'BRI . 🙂

      If you have any other questions, feel free to email me. 🙂

  2. Two things, first you look fabulous are you still following THM? Secondly, I looked into LBRI but how do you know which color foundation? I have found my perfect shade in cowgirl dirt, but LBRI is cheaper so I'm intrigued.

    1. Thank you! Yes, I'm still doing THM, although I need to put some thought into it (I've gotten stuck in a rut of eating the same things over and over again and not switching things up enough). I've only lost 5 lbs total so far, and I'm still hoping to lose 15 more so I need to make a better plan.

      I'd love to talk to you about L'BRI. If you want to send me an email at artfulhomemaking {at} gmail {dot} com, I can offer some suggestions about the foundation and answer any questions you may have!

  3. Very pretty. I have been getting into wearing longer skirts but I can't find anything fashionable. The ones at the thrift store are more for older women and I think zulily has high shipping prices. Any other places you get them? I'm almost 30 and like to dress my age lol.

    1. Thanks! Long (affordable) skirts can be hard to come by (especially cute ones). Sometimes I've seen them at Cato for a decent price. And Ebay can be a good place–I've gotten several from there. Probably Ebay, thrift stores, and Zulily would be the main places I've found them.

    1. Thank you, Katheryn! I'm originally from Texas, so I know what you mean about it taking longer to get cool. I always waited with anticipation until I could pull out my winter clothes (for a month or two!). 🙂
