Dressed Up Denim

How to layer for fall

Monday after a holiday is always the hardest…but it’s Cyber Monday, so that helps, right?! I already did some shopping yesterday, and I rounded up my favorite sales, so be sure to check them out! This outfit is what I wore for Thanksgiving dinner. I usually wear a skirt or dress, but I just wasn’t feeling what I brought. So instead I opted for dressed up denim, layering a fringed blouse over a plaid button down and topping it off with a statement necklace.

We spent Thanksgiving at my Mom’s on Long Island. Bones and I went out on Tuesday, and my husband joined us Wednesday night. My in-laws all came out on Thanksgiving Day, and it was great to get so much quality time with everyone! Aside from the food (still full!), I loved getting crafty with my Mom and finding time to relax on the couch with a book. We also took Bones to a giant dog park, and he was so happy!

Some of this outfit is from J.Crew, a brand I’ve been gravitating to more and more. When I get the latest catalog, I find myself turning down so many pages. But, I usually can’t justify paying regular price. Thankfully, the J.Crew/Madewell sample sale kicks off today in NYC, and I’ll be attending the press preview this morning! Make sure you’re following me on Snap (samevenyc) for a look inside the sale.
