{Tommy Hilfiger} Looks for Less

It's most definitely feeling like fall, now. Starbucks has their Pumpkin Spice Latte for sale, stores are preemptively putting out Christmas decorations, and the flu is spreading around campus like mad. You're hearing from it's latest victim. Seriously, I've been in bed for the past few days and I've missed class (not to mention a very important exam that the Prof won't let me make-up). I hope none of you have fallen victim! But enough whining from me... Onto today's Looks for Less!

Today's Looks for Less is inspired by Tommy Hilfiger. I am obsessed with pretty much everything TH #itsaproblem, but the way they paired the chevron dress with the blazer? It's the perfect way to transition into the cooler weather we've been having. Don't get me wrong- navy is my favorite color- but I think the red and black could really bring this look into the wintery months. This outfit would look really cute at a holiday party, on a date with your special someone, or even just a weekend shopping spree with the girls. The outfit is very versatile and I love that! Not to mention the argyle socks the model is wearing: #socute

In Search of the Great Pumpkin

Show of hands, who got overwhelmed with midterms this past week? *raises hand* I'm so #guilty of this. At least once each semester (twice if you count finals), I drop everything to focus on school work. Chores, family, friends, and sadly, even blogging. But, a few days ago, my friend and her family invited me to go to the pumpkin patch with them. I knew that I needed to take a break from studying, and the pumpkin patch was the perfect fall getaway.


 The farm we went to just opened to the public this season and it was gorgeous. Settled right in the heart of the Blue Ridge mountains, complete with hay rides, pumpkin picking, and of course, a corn maze. Now, one of my other friends hates (read: is terrified of) corn mazes, and I always teased her, because it's just corn. But after my harrowing adventure, I will never tease her about it again. My friend, her parents, and I decided to do the "harder" phase of the maze, first. This phase consisted of answering trivia questions- you get the right answer, you know which way to go. Get the wrong answer, and well... you go 20 minutes out of your way.


We made it through the first phase no problem. Easy. Baby stuff. So, while my friends parents went off to get something to eat, my friend and I decided to do the "easy" phase to kill some time. Let me tell you, it was not easier. This phase kept repeating the same pattern over and over until I thought we would be stuck in the corn maze. Forever. We answered one of the questions wrong and spent 20 disorienting minutes wandering the maze aimlessly. One of the trivia questions was so hard we had to consult Google. Seriously, who knows how many kernels there are in a typical bushel of corn off the top of their head? (For the record it's 72,800). By the time we finally reached the end, I'll admit, I was kind of freaked out (read: terrified) about corn mazes.


Apart from the insanely hard corn maze, the barn had really cute pumpkins! The buttons and ribbons on this one? #Perfection. I think it's a really pretty alternative to painting a pumpkin and a whole lot cleaner than carving one.



In the pictures above you can see what I wore on the outing. I am absolutely head-over-high-heels for this Tommy Hilfiger sweater. It's perfect over a button down blouse or just a lacy tank top. I'm seriously considering buying one in every color. Obviously, pearls are always a must, and my black boots were great for the mud that comes with a farm.

Introducing the Great Pumpkin himself! I'm embarrassed to admit that before this trip, I didn't know white pumpkins really existed, but as soon as I saw this one, I knew it was the one. Doesn't it remind you of the pumpkin from Disney's Cinderella that the Fairy Godmother turns into a chariot? Now all I have to do is decide on how I'm going to decorate it!

Well, I would say that the trip was definitely a success, but let's just say, I won't be venturing into a corn maze any time soon.

Anyone else find the Great Pumpkin? Any ideas on how to decorate mine?

{J.Crew} Looks for Less

Yes, today is Thursday, and I normally do these on Wednesdays, but I was so excited about yesterday's post that I forgot it was Wednesday. So, without further ado, today's Looks for Less is inspired by J.Crew! I absolutely love the light jeans paired with a creamy sweater over a white blouse. It's a very classic fall look. In my hunt to find a cute alternative for J.Crew's sweater, I came across the argyle sweater and couldn't pass it up! J.Crew has the cutest clothes, but they are pretty expensive.

{Tommy Hilfiger} Looks for Less

Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a fabulous week! I'm so glad the weather has sorted itself out and decided to feel like autumn again. Anyone following me on Pintrest can tell that I am fully embracing fall!
 
Today's Looks for Less is inspired by Tommy Hilfiger's Surely You Vest look. I just love the color combinations in this outfit. Navy, orange, green. Perfect fall colors! The original outfit isn't even that expensive, but if you are looking for something cheaper, here is an alternative. I think the navy turtleneck with the green vest on their own would look very nice, as well.
