Leggings as pants? Not a typical style choice I would make in my everyday life. But on vacation? Why not.
This is one of the outfits I wore on our recent trip to Miraval Resort. When I travel, I feel more daring and try out trends that I normally might not feel comfortable wearing in real life, say to Target. It’s the anonymity of it that allows for the risk taking.

I have to admit, I probably wouldn’t have been as brave if not for these Spanx leggings. What? Spanx makes leggings? Why yes. Yes, they do. They’re a little bit of an investment but worth every single penny. Trust me, they’re awesome. I will be wearing them all fall and winter.

Speaking of stuff I love, I’m obsessed with this Kendra Scott ‘Rayne‘ necklace. There’s nothing it doesn’t go with. I mean really, how perfect is it? It makes everything special – from a basic tee to a dressy blouse.

As soon as I saw this classic, preppy Taylor Swift look on Pinterest, I was dying to recreate it with pieces I already own. Plus I got another chance to try out fall’s latest trend, pastels, with my pink jeans. If you missed yesterday’s post I styled my mint jeans for fall HERE.

I added in some accessories to glam it up a bit, including this sparkly collar necklace from Glamplaza. Get 40% off this necklace and everything at Glamplaza with coupon code FAMILY40!

Along with traditional jewel tones and deep, saturated hues, a surprising color trend is making it’s debut this fall – pastels.
The good news is that this trend can extend the wear of some of your favorite pastel pieces from spring and summer. Think twice before you store those pink, lavender, mint and yellow cardigans, blouses, blazers and jeans.
I decided to give it a try with my favorite pair of mint jeans. Adding a navy jacket and leopard heels helped to ground the look and make it more fall-like.

If you don’t have a pair of pastel jeans yet, it’s not too late. Here’s an option in corduroy also made by Kut from the Kloth. These jeans fit me so well – they have the perfect rise, not too high or too low. Their corduroys come in eight different colors.
These would look great paired with a chunky beige sweater and some ankle boots.

Get Your Pretty On turned one yesterday…and what a year it’s been.
It all started with that first outfit photo where I was so proud of myself for actually getting dressed to have lunch with my daughter at her school. This blog has come a long way baby!
And so have I.
It’s been a daily journey of learning, discovery, friendship, creativity, challenges and growth. I didn’t start it with any goals in mind, it was just a fun diversion and a way to hold myself accountable for getting out of my yoga pants every day. I never could’ve dreamed it would grow into what it is today.
I have all of you to thank for this. Never did I think that anyone would actually be interested in what I was wearing, or my beauty routines, let alone my personal stories and family life. You’ve shown a genuine interest and spurred me on in big and small ways on those days where I wasn’t sure that I could keep going.

In the market for some more colored denim for fall? Well, I just found your new must-have color. While pink clay is the official name of the color of these jeans, I prefer blush or dusty rose.

In all honesty, when I first tried on these jeans at Loft, I loved the fit but just wasn’t sure about the color. When I buy an item, I have to be able to picture at least three different ways to pair it up or it doesn’t come home. I only came up with two in the fitting room but I loved the fit and cool moto zipper details, so I bought them anyway.
Once I got home and started trying them out with things in my closet, I knew I had made the right decision. I’m amazed at just how versatile and cool these jeans look with SO many different things. Heck, they are almost a neutral!
This week, I wore them paired up like this.
Dressed up: Floral blouse and heels
[Blouse: 3.1 Philip Lim for Target/Jeans: Loft/Heels: Zigi Soho/Bag: 3.1 Philip Lim for Target]
And here are some other ways I plan to wear them this fall.
Glam: Burgundy peplum and heels
Oxblood, burgundy, whatever, looks SO of the moment when paired up with blush. This peplum is only $34 and combines fall’s other hot trend – faux leather accents.
[Peplum: Chloe K/Jeans: Loft/Heels: Sole Society]
Comfy: Chunky beige sweater and ankle boots
This outfit is like a warm hug on a chilly fall day. Nothing better than a chunky sweater and some ankle boots.
[Sweater: Halogen/Jeans: Loft/Boots: Sole Society]
Casual: Gray striped tee with oxfords
Gray and pink were made for each other and so were stripes and classic oxfords.
[Tee: Loft/Jeans: Loft/Oxfords: Bass]
Tone on tone: Dressed up sweatshirt and ankle boots
I’m warming up to tone on tone and this dressed up sweatshirt is adorable! I already have it in beige.

So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and get them now before they’re gone. You’ll thank me later.
For reference, if you order online, mine are a size 26/2 and are very true to fit. They have great reviews and also just so happen to be ON SALE! If you’re not into the moto zippers, Loft also has some options in pink clay in corduroy.
