Leaving the comfort zone

I have to admit that I'm stepping a bit out of my comfort zone with the outfit below. I'm still half expecting someone to come up to me and say what the heck are you wearing? But I'm hoping that I can remix this outfit with different skirts and shirts to make this a fall/winter outfit staple. And boot socks. That would be helpful, too.
Cardigan: Gap, Button down: Old Navy, Skirt: Gary Graham, Boots: Frye
I originally tried this outfit on with a different shirt this morning but decided that this one works better. I really wanted to try this with a pencil skirt but I think that this one with a bit of a fuller skirt styles easier with the Frye boots. And the best part about the Frye boots? I scored them for 80. Brand new. Yup, probably one of the best purchases I've ever made.

J Crew Desert bloom bracelet
So - here's a two part question today. What has been one of your best fashion purchases - whether it was a super deal or a spur of the moment purchase that you've used over and over? And what's the best kind of socks to wear with your Fryes (cause my feet are hurting already and it's 10:10AM!)

I also picked up this bracelet at the J Crew sale the other day and I'm in love. In love like I want to wear it every single day love.
Also... I'm so addicted to Instagram these days and would love to see your photos :) Feel free to search for me - my username is makeupandpearls (and I certainly hope you like cat photos).

Happy to be linking up to the Everybody Everywhere November 13 boot challenge!

  3. I love this outfit Laura! Especially the boots and bracelet. I have a couple of Frye boots too. I wear thick sock with them (athletic type socks) and find that I can walk all day in them.

    I need to figure out how to use Instagram. When I do, I'll check out your photos!

  6. You scored the Frye jane boots for $80 new?! Holy score, girl!

    I actually bought those exact same boots a few weeks back and plan on wearing them soon. I got them for full price because they were impossible to find on sale and pretty much no retailer discounts apply to Frye brand boots. You are so lucky!
