Transitioning from Summer to Fall with Ageless Style

It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge. This month Bo picked back to school/ transitioning summer to fall. Since I'm not heading back to school I focused more on transitioning an outfit from summer into fall. 

I wore this outfit to tour a college with Evan and had hoped to talk him into taking my photo on campus but he was not at all okay with that. I finally settled on some mirror selfies and called it good enough. 
 
I paired my jumpsuit with some flip flops and a trio of gold hoop earrings. I love a good one and done outfit. Since it was going to be in the 80's I wanted something cool yet professional-ish looking.  

To transition this outfit into fall I'd add a topper piece with sleeves. I tried on 3 different jackets I had that would pair well with this jumpsuit.

a white blazer

a white jean jacket 

my favorite is this black linen blazer though

I could have swapped out my shoes too for something more "fall" like booties or sneakers but our flip flop season is far too short to give them up before the weather gets really cold and I can't wear them anymore.

    You mean your son wasn't ok taking fashion photos of you on his campus? Why Not? :). I love your jumpsuit. The colors are perfect for transitioning to fall.

      Ha; his exact wording was "I have far too much social anxiety to set up a tripod and take photos in public."

      I was thinking after I posted this that I also have a denim jean jacket I would've paired with it but I couldn't find it at the time. It has since turned up.. in our dining room.

    I love the dark print! So cute with all of these toppers but the black linen is my favorite too!

    I smiled when you said your son was not ok with taking your picture on campus, lol! Love this jumpsuit and I feel like this would be a perfect teacher outfit too!

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

10 Most Popular Posts of All Time

Image
Each year near the end of December/ beginning of January I share the top 10 posts of the year but this year, in particular, I have noticed some much older posts that are still bringing in lots of pageviews and thought it would be fun to look back and see a top 10 list of all time.  I started my blog in June of 2012 and while so many of my first posts were long blocky, chunky rambles without any real photos of us and our family I just can't bring myself to delete any of them as I really do enjoy looking back and seeing how my blog has change and grown over time. Not surprisingly all my top 10 posts are from more recent years.  I love to look at what is popular and try to figure out WHY each post is so popular. Most of the time I can't but I love to speculate anyway.  10. Our 2022 Disney/Universal Trip Day 1 & 2 has almost 2000 views. Who doesn't love Disney and the Magic Kingdom? 😊 9. My Would You rather; Fall Edition had well over 3,000 pageview. I do, however, thi...

2 College Visits in 2 Weekends!

Image
 Evan and I have visited 2 colleges these past 2 Fridays in a row. With Ian being so resistant to going to any college and Alec ONLY wanting to look at culinary colleges (the whole 2 we found) this is the first time we've really had to put a lot of effort into finding just the right fit for a college for one of our boys.  Since Evan hopes to study psychology his field of study does not narrow down our choices much. I did limit him to staying within New England/New York (basically within a day's drive) to make it a bit easier on all of us and since in his words he's "only ever had a classroom of 1-3 students, a small school would be best."  I am LOVING all the tours so much. Each school is brimming with their own possibilities. Friday August we checked out Bryant University and were surprised by how much we both liked it. It's nice and small and all the staff we met were so nice! They had tons of construction going on and seem to constantly update everything--...

100 Days of Science #68-- Index Card Tower

Image
My boys did such a wonderful job with their spaghetti bridges and popsicle stick bridges that I decided to look up some other fun STEM challenges.  I found a fun index card challenge that I thought they might like.  I handed each of them a package of index cards from the dollar store and asked them to build the tallest tower they could just using index cards.   Evan struggled quite a bit at first not thinking about folding the cards in any way but once we saw what his older brother's were doing he hatched a new plan.  Every now and then they'd stop to measure their towers.. being very careful not to knock them over. Ian build his tower on our coffee table making sure to use a nice wide base. Ian's tower was the tallest by just a few inches and Evan had the shortest. This challenge really got them thinking about structural integrity and they had to be real careful of how they moved about too. ...
