A Little Bit of This and That
Hello everyone! Can you believe that it is October 9th already? I honestly don't know where time goes here lately. It seems I just blink and it is already the next month! Anyway, today, in true "this and that fashion," I have several items to share with you and hope you enjoy these this and that posts where I share bits and pieces of life with you.
First off, is my attempt to style a pantsuit look without the pantsuit! You all know that I love all things royal, and recently I have been looking at pics of Catherine, aka Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, who is always gorgeous in whatever she wears. What I read recently said she has entered her "pantsuit phase" of life. I really didn't know there was such a phase of life and, as someone who always loved a good pantsuit, I kind of took exception to this somewhat snarky comment on her behalf. (You're welcome, Kate). It's hard to find a pantsuit in the stores these days anyway as everything is sold as separates but, oh well. Perhaps pantsuits are coming back which would be great IMO!
Anyway, inspired by Princess Kate, I decided to try my hand at creating the illusion of a pantsuit using these separates of a black cardigan, gray corduroy pants and an off-white tunic top. I love a longer cardigan, like this one, which takes the place of either the pantsuit tops from the 80's or a blazer jacket. Add in some pretty jewelry and you have yourself a faux pantsuit. Shop your own closet and see what you have on hand that might create a pantsuit style look. Let's all join in with Kate on being in our "pantsuit phases," shall we?!
And speaking of River.....
Look at how big he has grown! And, he thinks he is a lap dog, lol!! The Mr. allowed him to get on his lap one time and now he thinks he can do it all the time. Of course!! The Mr. doesn't seem to be suffering too much, though. 😉
What is happening with you? Any fun Fall projects going on? Any trips? Any fun pet stories? Be sure to leave a comment and let me know, okay? I love hearing from you!
Until Next Time,
Debbie

Puppy!? Oh my goodness. That's one big puppy :-) But I hear you about chewing. When Koda was a puppy he tried to chew everythihg. Thanks goodness he's grown out of that - unless, he gets a stuffed dog toy. I don't let him have them anymore as I'm afraid he'll swallow stuffing.
I love your pants suit and I agree about the longer sweater. And, the additional fall decor. Love the metal pumpkin.
Hope all is well with you.

I always enjoy your "this and that" posts! Your pumpkins are so pretty, and the way you put together your pantsuit seems much more versatile than the classic pantsuits where the jacket and pants are the same color and fabric. It's nice to hear an update about River. I have "grand-dogs" who also are too big for laps, but that's where they want to be!
I, too, love pantsuits. You have inspired me, once again to do something different. Thank you! And I love your metal pumpkin!!
