on trend: tights & skirts (or dresses!)

i’ve never been big on tights. or dresses and skirts during the winter. but with my style evolving a bit, i think this is the year these two things will collide.

i absolutely LOVE (yes, capital L-O-V-E) the look and, bonus!, it helps take your other season wardrobe pieces and winterfy (or fallify) them.

here are my favorite looks:

(i, ii, iii, iv)

(v, vi, vii, viii)

you probably have most of the basics to pull this kind of look together – but here it is in a nutshell. remember, you can always shake things up with some accessories, booties vs boots, colored tights, etc.

fashion how to: winter tights

the weekend according to instagram

the first weekend of october treated us well – the weather is finally starting to feel seasonal and layers were finally appropriate. there was some pumpkin picking with hayrides and games for the kids (yes, we were big kids this weekend) and a scary scare crow!

there was also some lounging, my brother’s adorable dog, shoe organizing and tailgate pizza.

and of course a giants serious win over the browns.

what did you do this weekend?
