Disclosure: This Monroe and Main Review/Giveaway is part of a Fashionista Events opportunity.
Clothing/accessories were provided by Monroe and Main as noted below.
Now that I've retired from teaching preschoolers and have begun blogging on a full-time basis, I'm enjoying discovering my style. The new Fall collection at
Monroe and Main features fashions, shoes, jewelry and accessories in misses and plus sizes. Since I tend towards casual outfits, I love to use accessories to spice up a simple look.
Jeans with a layered top is a pretty typical Fall style for me, but Monroe and Main provided me with three fabulous accessories so I can style my look three different ways. My absolutely, positively, most favorite thing in their fall catalog is the
Westin Bootie by Restricted.
I totally love these boots! They look amazing with jeans and a layered top, giving me an edge of confidence and surprise. They give me an extra 2 1/2 inches in height and I dare say I seem to strut a bit when I'm wearing them. My husband seems quite enamored when I'm wearing them too. They are fashionable, very comfortable and extremely well-constructed. Their compact size means I can easily put them in my suitcase when I travel.
I've always loved hats and someday I think I want to be one of those little old ladies who wears a hat every day. The burgundy
Flower Floppy Hat tops off my jeans and layered top with a bit of flirty flair and demure softness. This is a great look for all those Fall outdoor functions I've got coming up in the next few months. This floppy wool hat a fabulous flower on the side and a broad brim.
A scarf is a timeless fashion accessory. A lightweight, versatile scarf can offer a host of different looks depending on how you wear it. This
Cross Scarf comes in either black or white and measures 70"x22". I love finding ways to wear my faith! Adding the scarf in a long knotted loop to my jeans and layered top provides a more professional look for those last minute appointments. It's a great scarf and very easy to style in different ways.

ReplyDeleteI find something new every time I go to the site!! This time I am loving the Gold Foil Feather Tee. Must have. It's so sparkly (perfect for the holidays) and it would be a nice change from my teacher-y clothes.
