I feel a bit “Audrey” in this outfit. Pearls are a necessity, of course. As are some cute little ballet flats and a big ballerina bun on top of your head. Throw on a classic trench and it’s time to head to Tiffany’s. ;) But don’t forget the croissant. That’s essential.
It rained last night. The first rain in I don’t know how long. Too long, so says our weatherman. We had a fire inside and the rain was falling outside, and I was in my happy place. It was nice opening the door and hearing the sound of rain on the pavement and breathing it deep into my lungs. I love the smell of rain, don’t you? It’s just so fresh and lovely. If I could bottle up that smell and save it for a non-rainy day (ha ha) I totally would.
Has it rained lately where you are?
What’s your favourite classy outfit?

Love this outfit! The lace skirt and plaid shirt go so well together! I also love how the tights sorta blend in with the skirt and streamline you all the way down to your shoes. So classy!
Aw thanks girl!! :) You’re sweet!
xo
Oh yes…it’s raining COLD rain here today…:(
At least an excuse to keep my favourite outfit on, my new favourite hat, gloves and warm, snug boots and when we are back home in the warmth, both me and my little boys put our onesies and slippers on! Love it!
Aww I love it!! You and your boys are probably so cute with your onesies!! I love it- sounds so cozy :)

Looove your shirt! I have just put my favourite outfit on my blog today – Fake fur love ♥ http://www.mummysown.com/2013/11/19/fake-fur-love-%E2%99%A5/
Aww I love the stripes with the faux fur! So chic!

Ooh, I just love this look! It is so Audrey! You wear it really well.

Aw thanks Vicky!! :) I’ll check out your post, too!

I love this Katie! You have the best style!
Aw thanks Kelsey girl! You’re quite stylish yourself!
xo
I decided that I’m going to copy everything you do in an awkward attempt to be you.
I’m okay with this, I think.
xo
Love the top. You look so cute! Can’t believe you’re prego! I’m so jealous. My daughter is already 5 months. Make sure to go to as many dinners out and movies while you still can!

Aww you’re so sweet!! :) And thank you for that tip, I will definitely do just that!
xo
Love everything in this outfit! It’s adorable, especially with the top bun.
Aw thanks Jess! Every once in a while, a good bun is in order! :)
xo
this is definitely audrey!! i love how you layered the necklaces!
Audrey is, after all, my ultimate style icon. She can do no wrong!!
xo
You wear this look well! I’ve always wished I could bottle up the smell of rain for a later day :) It rained here the past couple days, and I LOVE it! Where did you get those necklaces?
Aw thank youuu! I got one of the necklaces (which is a layered one) at Forever 21, and then layered another just plain strand of pearls over it!
xo
This outfit is just perfect for the season! Love it. :)
Thanks girly! I thought it was great for the holidays coming up! :)
xo
LOVE the skirt & the whole outfit!
We had our first rain yesterday also. I’m beyond happy it’s back. My boyfriend acted like i was a crazy person when he came home and I had windows open. I just can’t get enough of the “freshness” that the rain brings ;)
YES I love that you opened the windows!!! I had our slider open and it was just lovely :) Can’t get enough of that freshness!
xo
As always, I love absolutely everything about this outfit! I’m trying to figure out what to wear for Thanksgiving and this definitely looks like something I might try to recreate. Cute, but not over the top dressy so it will go with the setting for all three of our meals that we have to go to! Love!
Jamie @
The Growing Up Diaries
YAY, I want to see your recreation if you do decide to do that for Thanksgiving!! :) And wow, three meals?! I thought we were crazy with our two! Get it, girl!
xo
It’s the third year in a row of this three meal things.. two sides of my fiances family and one of mine. I nibble at the first one, stuff my face full of my moms food because it’s what I grew up on so naturally, it’s my favorite, and then usually nibble and do dessert at the last. It’s still a LOT though!
I love what you said. Agreed, what you grew up on is always the best ;) You’ve got it down pat, that’s for sure. I plan on just eating a lot at both haha but you know. Preggers and all.

It is raining here in Mid Missouri today. I love Audrey!! My daughter actually dressed up as “Audrey” last year for Halloween. I don’t think any costume will ever compare to it. The classic LBD. Every girl needs one to dress up or down for every occassion!!
Aww Audrey is my favourite Halloween costume! I seriously want to do it every year, but I feel like that could be a bit ridiculous ;)

Have you heard of Demeter Fragrances? They have perfumes that smell like pretty much anything and they have one called Rain. I got their beach scent in an IPSY bag and it smelled just like the beach. Might be worth a try and then you’ll have that bottled up rain scent :)

Ohhh my gosh, thanks for sharing!! I might have to pick one up. I’m intrigued!! ;)
xo
They have so many scents I’ve been meaning to try, but haven’t gotten around to it. Plus, there are a lot of options on the type of perfume from bottles to roller balls. And I love your blog, btw! I check it every day <3
I noticed, that- I love that you can get different sizes to just try it out before committing fully! And you seriously just made my day/night/week!!! I’m so glad you like my little blog :)
xo
that is the perfect bun!
Marie @ In Our Happy Place
Aw thank youuu! :) It’s actually quite messily thrown on top of my head, but I’m glad it looks alright! ;)
xo
you’re way too darling! the trenchcoat, the hair..love it all! XO
Aw thanks love!! :) You made me smile- I love the word “darling” and my mom used to use it all the time, thus I do too. It’s nice hearing others say it <3
xo
Love the red and black checked top paired with the coat! Too cute.

Thanks girl! :)

The red plaid works really well with the bit of glam from the layered pearl necklaces!
Aw thank you! Had to add some glamour ;)
xo
Stopping by from WIWW! Love this look! Especially the pearls with the plaid. It hasn’t rained a lot around here either, just once overnight recently.

Glad you found me!! :) Pearls and plaid, they just go together so well, and unexpectedly so!

Katie, I love this outfit! — the pearls are the perfect touch.
Your baby bump looks so cute in that skirt :) I did WIWW today with maternity clothes. So fun!

Aw thanks Rachel!! You’re so sweet :) You and your bump are the cutest!

Hi Katie,
I am a bit sick so I better make myself some more ginger tea and take a cat nap while Zoárd is napping.
The monsoon started here in Thailand so we get massive rain and the trees are bending to the left and to the right in front of our room. I like watching it and Zoárd also enjoys it with dreamy eyes.
Looking like Audrey with a pastry in one hand is always good!
Your aztec dress from your previous post also suits you very well!
I am not sending you any kisses this time since I am not feeling great.
oo, Eszter

Aww you are so silly :) I hope you feel better soon!!! Being sick is not at all fun! So cute that Zoard loves the rain, too.
xo
i need that trench coat STAT!!!!
xo staci
I love the unexpected mix of everything here – especially the plaid with lace. Looks great!
Such a cute look – I love the plaid with the classic trench. <3
Aw thank youuu! :) Every once in a while, you just need to go super classic.
