Grey Plaid Cardigan and Sock Booties

I've been thinking about dipping my toes into the sock bootie trend for a while, because I love the idea of not having to deal with the cold ankle conundrum that has arisen with most pairs of booties. I'd had my eye on this pair from Naturalizer all season, and finally decided to order them when they were on sale for half off.

I think I've become a Naturalizer convert, I know that most comfort brands tend to have the stigma of being unfashionable old lady shoes, which isn't to say that they don't have some of those, but overall they offer a lot of cute shoes that are designed with comfort in mind and come in different widths, which I will always wish would become more common place.

I hope you have some great plans for the weekend, and that your 2019 is off to a good start!

Grey Scale

I know that I am truly worthy of my dreams.

I've been reaching for this cardigan on repeat all winter - it's by far the warmest one in my collection and perfect for work, where the heat has two settings - on and too hot and off and too cold. Yet this is the first time it's made it onto the blog all season. Though I don't suppose you weren't missing much, I almost always pull out one shade of grey or another to pair with it.

Sundress for the occassion

This is what I wore to my nephew's second birthday party over the weekend. As we were in Cape Cod (which is clearly not where I am in these photos) I knew I couldn't go wrong with something a little preppy and a little nautical.

Summer stroll

In the summer months I walk everywhere, when the sun is shining and the air is warm, it practically feels like a crime to drive somewhere when you could be walking. I just don't happen to be the biggest fan of sneakers and I get chastised when my cute sandals eventually start to hurt and I'm lagging behind.

Fortunately chunky slide sandals are also having their fashion moment, and in a slick sliver leather, these Vionic sandals provide arch support, offer a thick padded footbed, and keep my ankles from aching. Vionic provides podiatrist approved footwear that is orthopedic while keeping with current fashion trends.

One thing I will note about these sandals is that they do run wide, I went down a half a size and was happy that the straps were adjustable so I could tighten them properly.

The return

I'm back on the east coast today, and I'll have lots to share about my California travels next week, but for now I'm just going to relax and unpack!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

November

The start of November brings with it many things; we've turned the clocks so sunsets are painfully early, halloween will be cleared out of stores at light speed and Christmas will soon be saturating every facet of our lives. (Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that sort of gets shoved the corner, marketing-wise we only treat it as a segue way to Christmas.)

The next two months will go by in a flash, and before you know it the year will be over. You are all freaking out too, right?
