Happy Friday friends!
But, before we do that…
If you missed my post on prayer requests this week, you can see it here. I’m praying for you ladies!
If you missed my book review for September, you can read that here.
And if you missed What’s Up Wednesday, you can read that here. Thank you so much to everyone who participated!
This week, I only have one favorite thing :).
I decided to pick one favorite outfit for fall as my Friday Favorite. This one outfit has everything I love about fall at one time. Lots of favorites in one outfit that you could mix and match all season long.
#1 Fall Lipstick
I typically trade my pinks for darker colors in the fall. MAC’s Diva is my favorite.
#2 Fall Nail Polish
OPI’s Every Month is Oktoberfest is the perfect October polish ;).
#3 Favorite Watch
You guys know how much I love this watch. It’s my very favorite :). My brown bracelet is from last year (here’s a similar one), the sparkly one is even older than that but the two gold bracelets are still available from Stella & Dot. You can see them here and here.
And right now, my watch is 25% off! This would make a great Christmas gift!
#4 Fall Tote
Ooooooh! Isn’t this new tote pretty?!?! I’ve showed you guys my Barrington totes before and this time, they sent me this one. I love it. I love, love, love it :). This is the St. Anne and it fits everything I need for really busy days and is great as an airplane carry on bag too.
#5 & #7 Fall Button Ups & Jeans
I came back in the house and took off my puffer (because it’s not puffer weather quite yet for us) and added my leopard belt instead with my shirt. This shirt is insanely soft!
Online it says to order a size up, so I bought this in a small and it fits great! This shirt comes in 6 fun prints and colors…and so far, I’ve shown restraint and have only bought this one (ivory-blue mini plaid), but I love it so much that I might get one more. I also have washed and dried this twice now and both times, it came out looking great!
And I told you guys about my jeans on Wednesday. They’re my new favorites and seriously, I cannot stop wearing them! Super comfy, great fit, they don’t sag in the rear after wearing them an hour…really great price too (25% off right now!).
Please note the cute kid in the background who is about to try on Mommy’s new puffer vest :).
#6 Fall Vest
This year, instead of wearing my military jacket every single day, I decided to get a military green puffer vest to throw on instead. It’s not too heavy (so great for light winters or for fall) and yet it’s just warm enough. For a size reference, I bought an XS. This vest comes in 7 different colors (the poppy colored one is gorgeous too!).
#8 Fall Booties
And my final Friday Favorite…these booties :). Listen, they’re cute, they’re comfy, they came with two sets of shoelaces (these and then the ones pictured online) and I know I will wear the heck out of them.
Aren’t they cute?!?! I bought dark taupe but they’re also available in black and saddle suede. Love.
So, that’s this Friday! One outfit and eight different things that can be mixed and matched with whatever is in your closet all season long.
This weekend, you need to make…
You can totally leave the frosting off and just make the bread…it is unbelievably moist and delicious. I personally think that I make the BEST pumpkin bread around :). Your family will love it too!
Happy Friday friends!

Darling outfit – I wish it would get cool enough here in Bangkok to wear that puffer vest – it is so cute!

Very European

I like how Ashby is playing with mommy's clothes in your photo for #5 and 7. It's what little girls do best–raid their mummy's closet! She is so precious! God bless your family! I hope you all have a great weekend!
Erika Slaughter says
My very favorite thing is your shoes!! Love love love those booties!!
Narci says
This booties are so cute!! Love!! Happy Friday!!
Sheaffer {Pinterest Told Me To} says
Okay, so when I saw the first close up of your shoes, I was dying over the laces! Certain shoelaces are like cotton balls to me and pretty much make my teeth hurt, but the ones in the pic are perfect! The shoelaces were the only things keeping me from not ordering those before. Uh Oh.
Kjlb37 says
Great post! Do you have a favorite pair of non-distressed jeans? I have a feeling that I am much closer to your mother's age than yours and I just can't do destressed jeans:).
Mix and Match Mama says
Haha! Well, my mom had on distressed jeans when I saw her on Wednesday, but yes, I have some that aren't from J Crew. They're the "toothpick style" and I love them!
Kjlb37 says
Ha! I'd love to see a picture of your mother in her distressed jeans! It might give me the motivation I need to just go ahead and try them:).
Hilary Wheeler says
I want your jeans! I'm trying to figure out my size. I know you said you bought a 26. Would you say true to size or run a little small or big? Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
True to size!
Amber Reese says
Love this outfit and your style! I'm trying to decide between getting those distressed jeans or getting some boot cut jeans Sheaffer mentioned on her blog!
Happy Friday!
Paige Cowart says
I love the booties!!!!! Are they as comfy as the TOMS ya think?!? #oldladyfeet#runnerprobs
Jenna says
Can't believe your favorite fall outfit doesn't include a scarf! 😉
Megan says
The first thing I noticed was Ashby in the background of your pic. So sweet! She is a great helper! Love the outfit! That green puffer is amazing!!
Astleigh H. says
Swooning over this entire outfit! Love the mixture of texture and pattern!
Laura says
My favorites of yours are the lipstick and nail polish! Thanks for sharing!
kimm atwood says
Love the puffer. Great color
Kelsey @ The Peacock Roost says
Love everything about this outfit! I need to try a Barrington bag eventually! Do you feel like it holds everything you need on a daily basis, life planner included?

Sarah Shaneyfelt says
Okay so I've been considering purchasing a pair of those jeans for the longest time! I'm so picky about how my jeans fit. Are they stretch? It didn't specify online whether it was or not. Thanks!

Mix and Match Mama says
Yes!! They do!!

Hi Shay…thank you for your blogs. I stumbled upon it recently and am very uplifted by your positive energy. I hope Ashby is doing better and I will keep her in my prayers. I wouldn't ask this if I wasn't desperate, but I was hoping that you could pray for me. My husband of 2 years has decided that he needs to move out of our house to find clarity (essentially we are separating) re: whether he still wants to stay married. In a nutshell, lack of communication thus built up resentment and bitterness is what led us to this. Please pray that God will soften his heart toward me and lead him back to Him for clarity. Please pray that whatever demons he is fighting within, God will fight those battles for him and that He will guide my steps to be a godly wife in whatever time I have left with him (he's moving out in a week, has already found a place). Thank you, Shay!

Briana Runde says

Haley Southey says

Lindsay at Lindsay'sSweetWorld says
Love that nail color… it's one of my favorites, too! Happy weekend, Shay!
CAL says
I love this post! You find the best items that sometimes I wouldn't look twice and then you post them, they look fabulous and I must have them (I should probably stop reading until after I get married in April and am no longer on the bridal budget) I've been reading your blog for awhile, it's my first read of the day, I've never commented before but I just wanted to say thank you for your positive and enthusiastic outlook on life. You give me so many great ideas on how to make every day a little more special.
Leigh Clark says
I can't quite figure out how to wear distressed jeans that don't look "frumpy" – may have to try these. I love the polish and booties!!!
Angie says
I'm totally on the lookout for new Fall Polish and Lipstick 🙂
Queen In Between says
Great post! I'm loving the color of that puffer and the way it really brings out more color in that shirt.
The Nelson Happenings says
I'm loving that MAC Diva lipstick !!!! Great color !
Chelsea says
I love those booties. They manage to cover so many needs all at once…sporty, feminine, casual, fun…they are all wrapped up in that one pair of shoes!
Diane says
Shay…. did you get a small or petite small in that shirt? So cute!
Jessica White says
Can you please give us a tutorial on how you roll your jeans???
Coreline Mayfield says
I love this lipstick color although it would be a bit daring for me as I usually stick with lighter pinks. Do you use a lip liner with it? No problems with it smearing? That's always my fear with darker colors!
Jennifer says
Help! Every Month is Oktoberfest has been discontinued. What would be a similar color to substitute? Thank you!
PurseONality says
Hi Shay! I love reading your blog. I have noticed your different patterned Barrington Totes and I LOVE them! I am ready to purchase my first Barrington Bag. I would like a pattern that is extremely versatile. Is there one in particular that you would recommend? thank you!
Mix and Match Mama says
I love the brown patterns because they're so neutral. I would get one that was brown! When you click and build yours online, look through those patterns.
Missy says
I just ordered those booties from Lord and Taylor online. They were on sale for $99.00 and if you punch in the code FRIENDS you get and extra 30% off. So with shipping I paid $79.00 Score!
