Beautiful Yellow Wool Coat for Fall

October 5, 2018

 

Fall Fashion with Yellow and NavyThis fall seems to be a huge refresh for me! A few weeks ago I purged a lot of items and even did a small entryway makeover on a budget. I also went through my closet and took out pieces that no longer worked or I was not wearing. In the end I had 50 items for Hey Archive, and two bags for donation at the Salvation Army Thrift Store. Putting away clothes seasonally really helps me to know what no longer fits in my wardrobe. This fall I wanted to find some new accessories, like this gorgeous red leather purse and new yellow wool jacket. Purging my wardrobe really allowed me to look for new pieces that would work better with my style now.

Fall Fashion Friday with Navy and Yellow.You can check out my previous blog on how to thrift high quality items. If you are looking to refresh your wardrobe on a budget the thrift store or consignment store or clothing swap are all wonderful options. I don’t know about you but sometimes I hate my wardrobe. A wardrobe overhaul is not always in the cards, but picking out key items like high quality accessories or new jackets or a handful of new sweaters is.

Patent Leather Shoes for FallTips on how to refresh your fall wardrobe
  • BUY A COUPLE NEW PIECES: If you are looking at your wardrobe and trying to fill the holes with pieces you don’t have, that is one way to start. For example maybe a jean shirt would fit with the sweaters you have as a great piece for layering.
  • REPLACE OLD OR WORN OUT ITEMS: Giving your wardrobe new life can be as simple as replacing your favorite pieces. Perhaps you have a sweater that is great for layering but it is pilling or is no longer a nice shape. Look at replacing that single piece of clothing.
  • PURGE ITEMS THAT NO LONGER FIT: When you have a wardrobe you are not excited about, that can be difficult. Sometimes we keep items that no longer fit or are misshapen from washing, these are not pieces we don’t want to wear and they probably don’t you make you feel good.

Yellow and navy for fall.I used my own tip from my blog about high quality items on a budget, I checked the tag. I saw this yellow jacket, tried it on and fell in love! It didn’t have a regular tag, but a name. In the store I got out my phone, searched Tabitha Wool Jacket. The jacket was the first photo that came up in my search. Turns out this yellow wool jacket is and Anthropologie piece. The retail price was around $150! I was able to find this at the thrift store for $9.99.

Swipe to see the inside of the rainbow cupcakes. Honestly, so easy, and they look great! Next time, I might reverse it and make rainbow icing and plain cupcakes, a bigger wow factor. BUT three year olds LOVE sprinkles, so this worked.

THREE! 🦄 🎉 🌈 I had a lot of fun with thi THREE! 🦄 🎉 🌈

I had a lot of fun with this one! Do you think I accomplished this on a budget? You bet I did! The only thing about being on a budget is that it can be a bit more labour intensive. 

I used cookie cutters again, which makes for easy prep. I cut out all of the sandwich pieces in advance and froze the rice krispies oncee they were made. The rainbow cupcakes I baked in advance and froze, so it was easy to take them out and ice the day of the party.

As for the decor, from the dollar store: 3 bags of balloons, 10 streamer rolls, and 2 unicorn felt banners. Plus leftover string, tape and a Happy Birthday kit, which included the foil balloons and rainbow balloons. Total: $32.50

Now that might not be the cheapest decor but when balloon garlands sell for hundreds of dollars, I think that's a pretty good budget
Yup, I'm that mom. 🫣😂 My kids will be embar Yup, I'm that mom. 🫣😂

My kids will be embarrassed by my enthusiasm one day, but until then, I'm bringing it full force. A few friends sent me photos, and I looked like this in most of them.
TWO! I thought we'd have a big party to FINALLY ce TWO! I thought we'd have a big party to FINALLY celebrate our girls last year but then another lockdown. We had a few family members, and it was nice, but I still went all out! 

Super affordable decor: cookie cutters, $1.99 plants, and butterflies (I think this was a set of 50 for not that much). I also bought secondhand butterfly wings for the kids to wear. 

The cookie cutter adds a level of fun to the food and a bit of themed decor to the table. Butterflies were easy to add throughout our house. Plants ended up outside on our front stoop afterward. 

PS I won the balloon garland! That would be a big party splurge.
The kids have taken over the bath! I wanted to fin The kids have taken over the bath! I wanted to find a nice storage solution for my bath essentials that didn't take up a lot of room. To find what I needed, I headed to the kitchen section of my local Salvation Army thrift store. You might not think the kitchen area is where you'd find bath supplies, but I was looking for something different.

I was so happy to find this heavy cheese plate with dome. It would keep all my bath supplies safe from small children. Then I fell in love with this terracotta pot for my Epsom salts, along with a porcelain spoon, simple candle, and small glass vessel for the matches.

The matches I found at the dollar store, they were long bbq matches, so I cut them to size and taped the striker onto the bottom. I love how it turned out, and I was able to use this secondhand glass jar in a new way!

Don't worry, the kids' toys are still there, I thrifted a small little basket to keep everything contained and in ONE corner.

9 years ago, I went on a "coffee date" at 7 o'clock in the evening. He drank a coffee while I sipped tea, and we talked. He was funny, full of stories, and had a lovely energy about him plus a laugh to fill a room. Our coffee date moved up the street as we discussed our mutual love for nachos, so we went and found some. (Rip Foundation 😢)

We still love nachos, evening coffee dates (more like tea or sparkling water now), and our life has grown so much. 

I used to make jokes about our age difference, and Mark would always say, "I'm an old fart and you're young at heart." Which basically means we're the same age, or maybe Mark's actually older than me. 🤔
