Inspired by Lisa at Coast to Coast

This is not the first time that Lisa has inspired an outfit of mine. When I read her post about neutrals for fall I knew I wanted to copy her outfit but of course I did forget to add a belt: that is what happens when you do not double check the pictures that inspire you! Here is the post when I copied one of Lisa’s outfit a few months back. I always have to watch myself when she shares some of her finds because we have similar taste. She could easily break my budget! If you haven’t visited her blog, go on over and leave her a comment! She is fun and personable!

Neutrals for fall

I probably could have made a more exact copy of her outfit with adding the belt and wearing a tank instead of a tee and worn a pair of Nickel and Suede earrings but that is also what is fun about finding inspiration in others: you can make it your own!

This is the day I got my haircut after 5 months so I felt like a new woman! I really feel more put together when my hair is cut maybe because since I don’t wear makeup, that is one way for me to feel sharp.

This new top is a find from a local consignment shop. The prices are a little high for a second hand store but they are all quality brand name and they do have a small discounted section where I found this. I really like the neutral color and the asymetrical zipper and if I stand just right, it is very slimming!

Wearing my gifted earrings I shared a few weeks back and my neutral wedge sneakers. I really like these shoes for transition months. I have felt very busy lately and it was nice to be able to take pictures near the house. I have been working on writing my posts early so as not feel pressured for time so I was glad this outfit worked out great for a day of errands too.

This is me trying to look pensive. My son says I just look sad. I really want to get more creative with my pictures but I just look plain silly when I deviate from my tried and true poses! I need to practice I think! I am also itching to upgrade my phone (we are android fans) from an S8 to an S10. The battery dies quickly and my pictures don’t seem as sharp anymore. Maybe I should just wait till the S11 comes out but I really like having a smaller phone bill so I probably will choose the cheaper option. Just like with upgrading to a new car, I like to take into consideration how it will affect my monthly budget. I may switch to my camera for my blog pictures in the meantime.

A bientôt!
