Cozy October with the Ageless Style Link Up

Cozy October… That is the theme for the Ageless Style Link Up this month and while I dream of warm layers, I still have to take into account how the temperatures change throughout the day in Georgia in early fall. So yes, I can do some layers, but they have to be light layers and they have to be strategic. I love a sweatshirt with a pair of shorts and that is one way to be cozy in the cool mornings and evenings.

I love my morning coffee on the porch and as it cools off, I start bringing a blanket out. This one is the softest I have and my kids love it! October sees me wearing sneakers most days. This cute suede pair was a pair I saw in the kids section at Ross. I loved it so much, I ended up ordering them online (full price) in my size (kid size 5.5). Worth it for me: I have been wearing them about once a week for the last 2 months.

This sweatshirt is very lightweight but it is very soft! I think this will be perfect by the fire, on the beach and of course in my egg chair! I do a lot of my blog work from this chair.

I am sure cozy October looks very different further north: one day I would like to move a little further north where there is more defined seasons and summers that are not so hot and humid. This is definitely far in the future as I hope to have all of the kids graduate from our local school system here.

I have quite a collection of sweatshirts: about half of mine are thrifted and there is one that I need to remember to wear soon. I haven’t worn it since I thrifted it a few months ago: it is a little thicker and it hasn’t gotten that cold.

What is your definition of cozy in the fall? Is it cozy socks, sweatpants, or is it the feel of a fabric? Or maybe the definition of cozy for you is a warm cardigan to wear with any and everything. I think for me it has to do with comfort and the softness of a layer.

    That is a lovely sweatshirt. I wore a sweatshirt today with my turtleneck and fleece lined leggings. 🙂 Fall is definitely here!

    I love your morning routine. I am jealous that it’s warm enough still in the mornings to enjoy your coffee outdoors. I did that yesterday right after work as it was a beautiful day. I also love that egg chair, looks perfect. Sweatshirts are what I cozy up in right after work. Love the stars on this one.

      Well, this week, I have been having my coffee with a sweater and a blanket and I had to put it in my yeti so it couldn’t cool off too fast!

    Everything about these pictures looks so cozy! Love your star printed sweatshirt and those cute pink sneakers. Glad you are enjoying such lovely weather in October. These are such nice photos of you-I think you have a budding portrait photographer in the family!

    You are the cutest thing. What a snuggly blankie you scored. Great idea to take it into the yard and just BE. I can’t wait to be able to walk in the grass again.
    When you mentioned that you were doing a sweatshirt and shorts for cozy October I thought you were a genius. That is exactly the kind of thing I am wearing around here right now. Well, I am wearing the cozy on my legs (sweats) and pairing that with tee shirts on the top. We are FINALLY seeing autumn temps so I will be grabbing my sweatshirts, too.
    I talked PC into taking me to the thrift store last week but I was so disappointed. Not a single thing called my name. I really wanted to find a bargain like your southwest flavored finds but no luck.

      Not all thrift stores are created equal. I really hadn’t found anything at the others in town. This one is a treasure grove!
