Crisp fall morning

I absolutely love fall mornings. I love the feeling of a chill in the air when you wake up, knowing that you need to wear an extra layer or two that morning when you head out. Nothing goes better with these mornings than a great cup of coffee (who am I  kidding? that's any morning. any season. I just need good coffee). True to my blog, I set out to start the week with a pencil skirt and a latte... although both were dressed up just a bit. I bought this suit from J Crew earlier this year and love that I feel a little bit like Kate Middleton in it. :)  I don't know about you, but I'll do anything for a K Mids moment.

Wicked Weekend

I love getting to wear an outfit for the first time with several of my favorite things in it.  I completely died over both this jacket AND these boots when I found them.  So obviously when I had the opportunity to wear them together for the first time, it was magical.  Okay, not 'magical' - but awesome.  What made it more awesome was that we went to see Wicked on Saturday, then to Tavern for dinner (any of you who follow me on Twitter saw the smorgasboard that was our dinner Saturday night there - thanks for the +5lbs in one night, Mindy).  Anyway, I saw Wicked a few years ago in Chicago and it was incredible.  I was so happy it came to Nashville this year, and it was just as awesome as I remembered it.

Obviously, I opted for a more grown-up celebration of Halloween this year (musical + dinner date) as opposed to seizing the opportunity to dress up like a slutty _______ (fill in the blank with nurse, teacher, student, angel, devil, witch, blah blah blah).  No offense to any readers who ran with that sort of idea, I'm just over it I suppose.  I'll open the floor for any rude comment retaliation now.  Thanks.
