leggings: American Apparel Winter leggings
boots: Steve Madden Candence
today is a post of numbered points, because it’s just that kind of day!
1. do yourself a fave, and listen to mat kearney. seriously. mat kearney pandora. it’s all i’ve been listening to lately. it’s perfect music to work to. it’s inspiring. and his voice! like butta’. check it.
2. i had a dream last night that zack and i bought a baby off of craigslist. yeah, let that sink in for a second. and, what’s more is that we thought the baby was a boy but then found out it was actually a girl, and she already had a name, and we couldn’t change the name. because, you know, newborns tooootally already know their names? i don’t know. it was a strange one. i mean, the strangest part was that we bought a baby from craigslist. so, i guess that means baby fever is fairly high if it’s seeped into my dreams now, right? oh, and the name was jessica, in case you were wondering.
3. i tried on a few of my fall clothes the other night. you know, impromptu dress-up sesh. it happens. and it really helped with my whole in-denial-about-fall-coming state of mind i was in. now? i am soooo ready to be wearing that exact outfit and others like it. the boots! the leggings! the scarves! i’m ready, okay? i am ready! are you?

Love Mat Kearney…Met him about 7 years ago and was super smitten in a girl-on-the-front-row kind of way=)
When you wear leggings like this, what kind do you wear? I always feel like I need a little more structure than a full-on legging.
Sincerely,
a new follower
katie michelle
omg you met him?! amazing! he is SO GOOD! these are my AA winter leggings. they’re SUPER thick and sturdy and 100% opaque. They’re borderline pants, really, only they’re still leggings, so i guess some people are against that. you know, the whole wearing-leggings-as-pants thing.
xo
Kristi
I’m totally for it, but the junk in my trunk occasionally objects=) Will look in to these!
Thanks=)
katie michelle
haha good point! and no problem! i hope they work for you :)

-Wait and C-
WHAT A DREAM!!! Crazy lady!! You make me laugh so hard!
katie michelle
hahaha yep, it was pretty crazy, to say the least! no clue where it came from!

Love the outfit so much! Where is the white top underneath the button down from? I like the length and sometimes find it hard to find undershirts that cover the “fatty” part of my legs :-)
katie michelle
THANK YOU!! it’s just a white cami underneath, and it was like $5 from some random junior’s store called citi wear. but you can find them anywhere! and never pay more than $5 for one, either! ;)

I have a Mat Kearney station set to my Pandora too! He’s great! BTW I just found your blog via Ashley at Run With Me! Looking forward to following along! :)
katie michelle
haha i’m definitely listening to that pandora station at this exact moment. and like, every moment because i’m obsessed.
glad you’re here, girl!!

Found this look on Pinterest – love it!
Love the boots even more. You said they are in the Cognac color? Are they more carmel-y brown or a lighter tan? I can’t quite tell from some of the pics on various websites (compare Amazon to Zappos, what a difference!). Also, how is the fit for you – true to size or big/small?
Thanks for the advice! Always like to get a little feedback before ordering online :)
katie michelle
thank you, leigh!!! the boots are definitely lighter than they look in this picture. they’re more of a lighter tan, almost caramel color in real life. they are GORGEOUS. as for fit, they are definitely true to size. since they’re leather, they will stretch a little bit, which only makes them even more comfortable. seriously, they are my favorite boots i’ve ever owned, and i highly recommend!!! i hope you look back here, since you didn’t leave an email for me to reach you at!

Thanks, Katie! I kept the page up, so no worries.

Found your blog today while blog hopping, and I love it! Aren’t dreams the craziest things? I once dreamed that the hubs and I ordered a baby out of the Pottery Barn catalog. Ha!

haha i can’t believe you had a dream so similar to mine! crazy!! WHY are we dreaming about buying babies!?? there is something off about our sub-conscious.

Just found your blog on pinterest because I love your outfit. But what I loved even more is your shout out to Mat Kearney. He is my absolute fav artist. I have seen him in concert several times. He is even better live which is pretty hard to believe since he is always a-ma-zing!! You have great taste lady!! Thanks for the post.
katie michelle
Awww you are so sweet!!! Thank you, girl! And OMG I’m so jealous of you seeing Mat Kearney live!! I can only imagine how awesome that must be! Hopefully I’ll be able to see him live sometime soon, too!

I like your boots very much, where do I find that? Anyway your dream sounds very cool and funny.

Thank you!! You can click on the link underneath the photo that says “Steve Madden Candence” and it takes you to where you can buy the boots! :)

Lauren
Love the outfit! I have crazy dreams too. I normally don’t tell my husband about them because he just looks at me like I am crazy. How do the leggings fit? Do they run true to size? Also, I like your long white shirt, where did you find it? You have such a great fashion sense. Thanks for sharing.
Katie Did What
You are so sweet! Thank you so much for your comment, Lauren! :) The leggings do run true to size! I’m wearing a small in this picture, which is what I normally wear. They’re really nice and stretchy, and seriously SO comfortable. I could live in these leggings! As for the layering top, it’s just a tank top I got at some random teen girl’s clothing store! It was only $5!! :)

Lauren @ STYLELIXIR
LOVE this look! It all works perfectly. I was going to say which piece I liked best, but I can’t pick just one!! Such a gorgeously relaxed outfit!
