I really love fall layers, cozy knits and the straight up comfort that comes with cooler weather wear. While we’ve only had glimpses of crisp in the air here, I’m beginning to embrace the fact that summer is coming to a close.
The thing I look for most in a fall wardrobe is comfort. I want to be able to snuggle up on the couch with my babies before school, look dressed up for errands and play dates and be ready to go out to dinner or hang out at home for the night. While pajamas are good for a couple of these things, life in pajamas, even for a stay at home mom, is no option. Ever make the decision to go to school drop off in those PJs? Yep. The only day something goes wrong and you have to get out of the car. Don’t do it, y’all. Trust me.
This kind of outfit looks way better, and is just as comfortable.
I love to layer basics with a pop of color. I paired an old button down with a new tunic from J. Jill’s fall Ponte collection. The whole line is made with a rayon, nylon and spandex blend, making them more durable, while still machine washable. This lightweight tunic is so soft, doesn’t wrinkle and would be perfection for travel! It is loose-fitting, but has that A-line cut that is flattering on any body shape.
Let’s take a sec to talk about these leggings. There hasn’t been a fall gone by that the hubs didn’t give me a hard time for my “see through” leggings. It’s true, though. Most leggings I’ve bought are thin to start with, and then get thinner as they’re worn. These leggings are also part of the Ponte collection from J. Jill. They have small side zip pockets, the coverage of pants and all the comfort of leggings. Oh, and the hubs approves!
