For better or worse, Oklahoma doesn't get a very long fall season when it comes to weather. The only positive about this is you can wear mini skirts until it decides to cool off. Last year, I purchased this faux-leather pleated mini skirt as a birthday treat to myself. I was so glad to see it back in stores this fall. It looks great with a t-shirt, button-down, cute sweatshirt, turtleneck or sweater. If you read the reviews, you might notice that it runs a little on the smaller size. I would recommend trying on your true size and one size up just so you can find the fit that worst best for you. The only downside to this item is that it's dry clean only. I would recommend taking it in for a cleaning once you are done wearing it for the season.

Last October we made a trip to Napa Valley. It happened to coordinate with my birthday weekend. I was lucky enough to celebrate my champagne birthday in style! If you are planning a trip to wine country anytime soon, you will have to check out my favorite winery recommendations. I wrote a blog post highlighting a few of my favorite places in and around Napa Valley. For one of the days filled with tastings, I paired this skirt with a fun sweatshirt and loafers.

This fall, ruffles seem to be everywhere you look. This sweater is so on trend it hurts! If this deep green is not really your color, you are lucky. It is also available in three other colors and is on sale right now for less than $30. I am telling you, this sweater will not disappoint you! Honestly, for the price, I am considering ordering the neon bouquet sweater as well. I ordered a size medium, and you might notice it is a little large on me. However, the small was too narrow in the arms. My arms are on the muscular side, thanks, Pure Barre! I tell you what, I feel like this is my life story. I am what you would call a smeduim, a combination of small and medium. I am also kind of weird where I like my shirts to be on the longer side. For that reason, I almost always order a size medium.

This outfit screams date night! A little fun fact, my love language is quality time. Jered's love language is also quality time, how crazy is that? I am so thankful that we both share the same one. Right now we are in the season of life where we work a lot, trying to make it up the career ladder. Honestly, we live for the weekends! It is a time where we can unplug, recharge and connect. I don't care we are curled up on the couch watching Netlifx or out on the town having a fancy steak dinner--when I am with him everything in the world feels right.
