November fashion - It's Simply Lindsay

November fashion (part 3)

Is it just me, or did November fly by? Although the Chicago weather suggests winter, I can hardly believe December is just a few days away. As you may know, I participate in fashion-themed challenges on Instagram. To participate, connect with me on Facebook and Instagram to see the daily themes and join in when you can! Themes are a great way to get dressed with purpose, find inspiration through others, find unlikely outfit pairings, and wear those clothes that are neglected in the back of your closet.

I enjoyed November’s last themes – for houndstooth day, I wore my abstract houndstooth printed Forever 21 skirt. On mustard day, my whole outfit is from…wait for it…Burlington Coat Factory! I love this statement necklace with the mustard fringe top and printed pants. I wore cran on cran for cranberry day and opted for a spring-inspired dress for all zipped up day. On Thanksgiving for the thankful theme, I wore plaid of course, and on Black Friday I mixed a fun printed blazer with a classic black dress.

November fashion (part 2)

My fashion themed challenges continue! In case you missed part 1 for November, you can check it out here. The themes for last week included the following:

  • Tights: I paired a cozy pair of sweater tights with a Max Studio dress and plaid blazer for a school Open House event.
  • …is my new black: Red and black was my new black in another Max Studio graphic dress lightened up wit graduated pearls.
  • Pinspired: My “pinspiration” was mixing prints – plaid and leopard, of course.
  • All wrapped up: I love a good wrap dress. They’re very comfortable and flattering. The last time I wore this dress was almost a year ago to the day, but I was 7 months pregnant. Did I mention it’s great stretchy fabric?
  • Plaid: I love this silky, slouchy blouse – a dressier take on the beloved print.
  • Cashmere: I chose my softest, comfiest two-tone sweater and balanced its form-fit with an a-line shadow-hemmed skirt.
  • Stud: Saturday night was date night, so my stud was my date ; )

November Fashion (part 1)

Welcome to November! I’m participating in another daily fashion theme challenge this month; be sure to link up with me on Facebook and Instagram to participate and share your outfits with me. You can check out my October looks here: part 1, part 2, and part 3. This week, the themes were:

  • Nice and toasty: I wore my blanket scarf from Frou Frou & Frill (so glad I came across this store! Trendy items and free shipping on all orders.)
  • Totally tasseled: I paired an orange and gold tassel necklace with my Bebe tassel bag that I use daily as my teacher bag.
  • No nonsense neutrals: Leopard is a neutral.
  • Layers: I’ve always wanted to try layering a sweater over a dress…so I did!
  • Wrist easy: When in doubt, grab all the bangles in site.
  • Boots: I wore my favorite two-toned boots and tried layers another way – under my dress. It’s a fun way to transform a basic dress.
  • Distressed darling: Word. I love distressed graphic tees.
