Lunch at a French Bakery

There is an adorable locally owned bakery in downtown SLC called Eva's Bakery. It is absolutely delicious! Last week I met a friend there for a lunch and quick catch up session. The bakery is French themed and is packed full of yummy food, pastries and desserts! It's always such a pleasure to eat there. You guys know when I saw this cat sweater I had to snatch it up right meow. ;) The weather was fairly warm that day so I opted for no coat. Not sure I can get away with that much longer!
Here is what I wore:  

 

Cat Sweater: Halogen  (Nordstrom) (Still available)

Black Jeggings: Old Navy

 Moto Boots: Brand Unknown (Forever Young Shoes)

Mad for Plaid

Plaid has always been one of my favorite things to wear

There are so many different options when it comes to plaid.

You can wear a little, or wear a lot!

I love plaid because it can be easily  dressed up

or dressed down.

Plaid has had so many great fashion moments in history.

From classic historical tartans

to the Seattle grunge scene,

Plaid has been around for centuries,

and I don't think it's going anywhere.

Here are some fun ways to wear plaid:

Top 5 For Fall by heidihanson featuring slip on booties

For my 5 pieces I wanted to show some easy ways to add
some fun pieces to your fall wardrobe. All the things I picked are easy add-ons to any wardrobe.

A statement necklace can dress up anything for a simple t-shirt to a cocktail dress or anything in between.
Check out The J.Crew Factory Store or Etsy for some great affordable options for statement necklaces.

My absolute favorite trend right now is animal motifs. I have way to many sweaters with little critters on them. They are so great to throw on to help cheer you up on those gloomy fall days.

Chambray shirts are so fun and they go with so many things! They have been my favorite to pair with  colored skinny jeans.

Last Spring I searched EVERYWHERE for the perfect pair of gray booties, and now you can buy them at so many places in any price range. They are a fun style to have when you don't want to wear just black or brown boots. The bootie style is great too, because you can wear it with jeans, dresses or skirts.

Printed skinny jeans are a fun update to colored skinny jeans.
Wearing a bold pattern on your legs can sometimes feel a little overwhelming, but their are always more subtle options to choose from. Try something printed in a traditional  denim wash if you feel nervous to give it a try.
