WIW: Fall with the kids

Tania

My 8 year old's first use of an SLR! I need to work a better picture system, but she did pretty well today. My 6 year old loves to jump in.

J Crew Double knit merino in burgundy

AG jeans

Clemency Doc Martens

Gap long sleeve T

When the cardigan arrived yesterday, I was concerned because it was SO oversized. I think I can work with it though...um, I can't return it.

Fun pics! I think the volume of the sweater can work if styled correctly, and it's a great color on you.

Super fun photos in the wild!! That sweater looks fantastic on you. It's such an easy and versatile piece. (I am a sweater twin).

Your daughter's adorable.

Fun photos, your DD did a great job! And I love that sweater on you....I have it in black, and now I'm wondering if I should jump on the red. You and I have similar coloring. I think the size looks stylish over skinnies. Nice job, you look fab!

I think the sweater looks good on you. It looks intentially oversized, not too big. The color is great and what fun photos with the kiddos. My 6-year old loves to take photos with me as well.

The sweater looks so good on you. Definitely a keeper! I am consIdering ordering one myself but worry about oversize thing. Can I ask what size you are wearing? Thanks.

Color looks great on you and I am sure the size could be controlled when you want to reel it in a bit. Beautiful little girl there too, adorable!

The sweater with those boots is really great - love the color on you too! I think it's oversized in a modern way so no worries there. Love the outside scenery.

Thanks, everyone.
I think this must be a triple challenge post, because it was keeping it real, using different photography, and wearing a MOTG ensemble.

Lizzy5, I ordered a medium. My bust measures 34DD plus my shoulders are slightly broader than my hips. On size charts based on bust measurements, I fall in between M/L or L, although based on hip/waist, I tend to size smaller. I am 5'6". The sweater itself is oversized. I think I can carry it, but I was slow to warm (my tendency). At first, I buttoned up and it hung from my widest point. DH told me to switch to the middle button, which changed the drape slightly and worked better, IMO. Or I can keep it open.

Red is such a great color on you! I think the volume of the sweater works really well here actually, with the skinnies highlighting your long, slim legs.

And we are cherry Doc Clemency twins! They fit you better than they fit me though. My feet are really too low volume to fill them out, but I love them anyway.

I'm sticking to a small capsule of clothes right now and chose red as one of my main colors. Thank goodness it works. I'll build more variety over time.

Diana, I posted last year asking about Docs and I remember your cherry red Clemency boots. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that I finally took the plunge. They are great! Random folks have commented on them every single time I have gone out with them (assuming I have seen people, lol, I spend a lot of time at home).

It was an epiphany when I read one of Angie's posts on foot volume and shoes. My feet are long and narrowish, but I often found higher volume shoes more comfortable and didn't know why. I have somewhat high arches and a sensitive bone on one foot, so I think that throws me into the high volume camp.

Beautiful fall colors and I think the oversized cardigan looks great on you. I am drooling over your docs. Burgundy docs are on my wish list!!
