Dressing for Fall with No nonsense

Houston has a season I like to call �fall, but not really.� It�s October, and the temperatures are still pretty warm compared to the rest of the country. Style-wise, fall is my favorite season because I love to layer, and as the temperatures get a little cooler, I�m excited to start showcasing outfits that have a little more to em�.

Today I�m sharing a few �style remix� outfits showing how I incorporate tights by No nonsense into some of my fall looks. I wear tights with my skirts and dresses all winter because I hate it when my legs are cold (which is basically all the time), so tights are an essential part of my fall/winter wardrobe. 

I prefer opaque tights, and today I�m showing two looks styled with No nonsense�s Super Opaque Tights in navy --- one more casual and another for the office.

For my office look, I paired my tights with a lace pencil skirt, tucked-in collarless shirt and striped blazer along with a classic pair of mightlight blue pumps.shirt- LOFT  |  skirt- zara (old) (similar and 40% off!)  |  tights- no nonsense  |  shoes- banana republic  |  bracelet- j.crew  |  blazer- zara (old) (nearly identical for $50! + another cute option)

In my casual look (something I�d wear on a weekend in cooler weather), I paired my tights with a casual dress, utility vest and some flat boots.

 dress- lou & grey for LOFT  |  necklace- kendra scott  |  tights- no nonsense  |  boots- nine west (old) (similar, similar, similar)  |  vest- nordstrom (almost identical option)

The other products I was able to try from No nonsense are their Corduroy Leggings and their Cotton Leggings in Houndstooth. I pretty much live in leggings when I�m not at work --- in fact, as soon as I get home, the first thing I do is change out of my work clothes into a pair of leggings and a comfy, loose tee or sweater. No nonsense products are easy to find at Nononsense.com as well as at major food and drug stores.

Here are the cordoroys leggings. They're so stretchy and you can roll down the waistband if you like a lower rise.

I also love the No nonsense Rugged Boot Socks I received. They�re a unique color and look great popping out of booties when it�s not cold enough to wear full-on tights but you still want a cute fall look. It�s a nice way to carry over your spring and summer dresses or to wear with cropped pants.Do you wear tights in the fall and winter? What styles do you like? Opaque, sheer, printed�all of the above?

Baby Gap Picks (40% Off!) + Our Saturday...

Today I got an email from GAP with a promo code to get 40% off of my order. I had been wanting to pick up a few things but was, as always, waiting for a sale of 35% off or above (it's always worth the wait for how much you save). You can use the code DEALFORU for a percentage off of your order (I think it's between 35-40%).

Here is what I ordered for Harper (and one gray dress for myself that I saw in-store recently and thought was cute):

Bunny shirt | Chambray top | Intarsia bunny sweater dress | Holiday PJ set 

| Flower-print cords | Marled Knit Jacket | 

| Gray dress |

I've been trying to buy more "outfits" for Harper lately instead of just buying random things I like all over the place. I try to be more thoughtful now and make sure I know what I can pair the item with if I'm buying it. Honestly, it may seem silly, but babies have to wear clothes, so why not have fun with it? She's only this little once and one day she will want to pick out her own clothes so I might as well enjoy it while I can.

Everyone kept telling me to buy ALL OF THE ONESIES when I was pregnant because that's "all she would wear"---and for the first couple of months that was true--- but I like dressing her in dresses with leggings and little jeans and cords with cute tops now that she's a little older. So I have an overwhelming amount of onesies but didn't have much to pair them with. So I've been purchasing more tops, sweaters, leggings and pants to mix and match with everything since I was kind of low on things she could wear with the onesies. I also had practically zero colder-weather clothing. I even had to go out and buy tons of socks when she started daycare because I realized I didn't have that many and she needs to wear them daily.

So if you're pregnant and thinking about buying things--buy onesies, but don't go too crazy. Build your collection a little more slowly and assess your needs as you go. You may find, like I did, that you have too many onesies and not enough of the other stuff. 

Anyway, that was kind of a tangent, sorry.  I figured it may be helpful for some.  In any case, the clothes I didn't get to use will find a good home. I'm going to donate the newborn onesies that Harper never fit into as well as some of the stuff she never got to wear before growing out of it to a women's shelter or another organization who could use those kinds of items. Might as well make the best of it.

Here are a few other items we've purchased recently (sorry if you've seen some of these on Instagram already---I get a lot of requests to share my purchases and I love seeing what others buy too!)

Dot sweater leggings | Furry vest outfit | Indestructible book | Mamas + Papas Doll | Baby shoes- Target | Baby bow leggings

We started our Saturday morning with lots of cuddles (more like Harper cuddling her bunny and elephant):

Then I took Harper for a walk while I sipped my morning latte:

Then we got Harper dressed and went to look at high chairs. I've done a lot of research/reading reviews online and so far we are between the oxo sprout, the boon flair and the mamas + papas pixi. Let me know if you have any feedback. I think the boon may be the best fit for us since it can go higher and lower whereas the other two are fixed in their heights. We'd like something we can use at the kitchen island as well as at a normal height table.

It was the most beautiful day outside today and we enjoyed strolling along with Harper as we checked out some of the high chairs in person and tested them out (I think a high chair is one baby item that is tougher to order online).

When we got home, Harper really got intimate with her Indestructibles book. They aren't kidding when they say babies can pull, and drool all over these and they remain a-OK. She was on her mat but she loved the way the book would slide on the hardwood so I let her go at it. 

 ...and then Harper had fun with her new Mamas + Papas dolly. We are naming her Molly or Penelope. Yep, we name dolls. I make up songs about them, so they need to have a name, right? Her other doll is named Ruby. Ha. Ruby is a ballerina and I have a song that I made up about her dancing. Yep, I'm weird. 

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
