WIW 10/4, 10/5 A very tweedy autumn weekend

I'm still dressing with Frakenboot in mind - the bandages come off tomorrow, with hopefully no x-rays needed/no major damage to the toe I had my surgery on last spring.

After looking back through Angie's blog posts, This weekend I decided to take some inspiration from her Fall & Winter Must Haves list. Today DH and I took a drive down to the Catskill mountains to look at the fall foliage, and I tried doing the sporty luxe look. I wore a new pair of Joe Fresh tweed-look sweat pants and paired it with my nice thick weight white long sleeved tee and a red lightweight puffer vest.

Yesterday I wore one of my favorite blazers - it's an oversized, 80's inspired, wool tweed-with-polka-dot lining Bar III jacket that I've had since fall 2012. I feel very Duran Duran when wearing it! I paired it with my Old Navy Rockstar skinnies. I've been kind of off wearing skinnies but they seemed appropriate for this blazer. I wore this to go to church with a friend (it's a very casual church).

Karie, the colors in the Catskills are beautiful! What a great way to spend the day! I think we will be getting out the rakes soon!

Nice casual vibe for a weekend! My favorite look is the skinny jeans with the blazer. I can see why the blazer is your favorite. It's very flattering on you!

I like the Joe Fresh sweatpants. I think you did a great job of putting something together that reflects your inspiration pics. You look like the woman in the yellow quilted vest (except in different colors).

The pictures from the drive are gorgeous. I love how put together #1 looks while being comfortable at the same time.

Gorgeous fall foliage, Karie, and gorgeous you. I love both outfits!! The puffer vest and sweats are fab together.

Jaime

Great color mix in #1 to say nothing of the trees!

You are making that frankenbootie fade into the background! Great weekend looks. Thanks for sharing the fall color. We spent 4 years in western PA and that was always a highlight for these native californios.

CocoLion

The late 80s oversized blazer with skinnies is a great look for you. And you wear those sporty sweat pants like a model.

Thank you for sharing your gorgeous photos, keep them coming! I DROOL at the sight of those colors. Right now what I see in California is mostly brown (Golden State being a euphemism).

Karie

Thanks everyone! CocoLion and Shevia, we're probably at/near the peak for fall foliage here and it is quite pretty this year.

Thimblelina, I have been through western PA and it is gorgeous out that way.

BJ, hopefully Frankie comes off today. Fingers crossed

Suz and Staysfit, the yellow puffer vest outfit in Angie's blog post was the inspiration. Don't you just love it when you know you can put something together from your closet? I might not have thought of it otherwise.

Frannieb, the sweatpants outfit was very comfy, but it did feel odd at first wearing sweatpants, even "upscale" ones. We spent most of the day in the car or outdoors with not that many people around us, so this was a good first outing for them. Plus DH thought they looked really nice!

You look terrific, Karie. Sporty Luxe is handy, isn't it? Good luck with Frankenboot. xo

Fall in New England is sublime.
