It’s October!! Yay! October means pumpkins, cold nights, lots of layers, boots, my birthday and Halloween. I love October :).
I was totally inspired this month to get out of my shorts (which I adore) and into fall layers. I have 3 examples for you of how I got Pin-spired for October…
Look #1
Tweed jackets and distressed jeans are so me. I never look too conservative…I always like a little something going on (like big holes in my pants!).
If you haven’t figured it out by now, the rent house doesn’t have a full length mirror, and Andrew and I are too lazy busy to add one…thus, the crazy pics I post of myself :). I found this tweed jacket with a little motorcycle edge at Loft (it’s 40% off right now!). I will wear it all season long! The color is so basic that it will surely go with everything! My tee is from Gap and my jeans are one of Sheaffer’s Must Haves (if Sheaffer tells me to do it…I always do!).
I love the little details on my jacket!
And my new favorite earrings are Stella & Dot! They are really light weight and so much fun!
And I love, love, love my leopard booties! This is my third season to have mine and I promise you, they really do go with everything! I could wear them every day! (And no, I don’t wear socks with my booties…I treat them like a wedge. If you do wear a sock with your booties, make sure they don’t show! The ankle peeking out is park of the look!)

Look #2
Who says you can’t wear leopard with camo? If they’re both suppose to be neutrals then it’s like I’m practically wearing all white, right?! I love camo, I love leopard…and now, I love them paired together.
I really, really, really love my camo jeans! I have been wearing them nonstop since I bought them last April. They are just more fun than throwing on a pair of denim jeans, but just as easy to wear. And layered with my denim jacket, a tank and my new favorite leopard and navy scarf…I was a happy girl on this day!
This scarf also comes in mustard, orange, red and green with leopard…Sheaffer tried on the green the other day it was gorgeous on her! I really have been wearing it almost daily. I just love a good scarf…especially thrown over my camo :).
The best of both worlds…leopard and camo :).

Look #3
Ahhh…the plaid scarf. I love.
And since I’m obsessed with a striped shirt, I layered mine with a basic striped shirt, my distressed jeans and my black booties.
What I love most about this plaid scarf is that it’s so light. It comes in three other gorgeous colors but the orange just says fall to me.
And my black booties make my heart so happy! I know they look tall but trust me, they’re comfy because of that awesome wedge. Nothing makes a simple tee look better than a great scarf and some killer shoes.

WOW! This is one of my favorite posts you've ever done! I loved all 3 looks! The boyfriend jeans with that amazing tweed jacket? LOVE. And you're right. So fun how you paired the conservative (tweed) with the edgy (distressed boyfriend)! You already know that I love the leopard with the camo. I saw you that day and couldn't believe how good it looked! And the pink stripes with that orange scarf? FABULOUS. Seriously great job today! I'M PINSPIRED!!!!!! 🙂

Oh my gosh, tweed and distressed jeans, LOVE! The leopard print booties with camo is pretty awesome too. Great looks!!!
Tab & Erika says
I LOVED all the looks, but my favorite "Shay" look was for sure the striped shirt and the plaid scarf. If they were going to make a Shay Barbie, I'd encourage them to let her wear that!! It's so you!! I LOVE it!
Rachel says

Nicki says
So I was reading your blog this morning on my iPhone while I was blow drying my hair, and you totally made up my mind as to what I would wear today. My camo pants and leopard flats! Thanks to you and Sheaffer for making it so easy for me to get dressed in the mornings 🙂
Val @ Chicken Scratch. says

Hi Shay,
I love reading about your family and style. I know you and Shaffer are always looking for new looks and styles. You've told us readers multiple times about your "Wellies" and so I've purchased my own and love them.
I've recently found a boot liner, Etsy shop called WithTheRain. I purchased her liner to go with my rubber boots and love it! We live in rainy Oregon, so it's perfect!
Below is a link to the shop and the liner that I bought, but there's dozen's of other styles.

Anyway, thanks for having a bright spot out in the blog world. I love it!

Seriously. The booties and the scarf. Gimme gimme gimme!!! Why did I pick a white space challenge with all the cute clothes around? 😉
Jordan says
I love that jacket!!!
hillary says
OK. I seriously need some scarves. Distressed jeans will be my back-to-before-baby body motivation. At least I can still fit into the earrings I wore in high school (don't be jealous). I bet I could fit into those ones from stella&dot too.

Leopard, camo, stripes, plaid, tweed, boyfriend jeans… you're speaking my language!! I just love all of your outfits!! You've definitely inspired me to mix and match some of the items in my closet to re-create these looks!
Angie says
Cute looks! I love your black booties!
