Not Reinventing The Wheel






{Button-Down: Old Navy} {Vest: Old Navy} {Pants: Old Navy}
{Booties: Target} {Cuff: @ShopBLovely} {Necklace: Edith Marie Jewelry on sale)

Hi, My name is Tori--remember me? I have felt so MIA from the blogging world this week and it sucks! But, sometimes life just gets in the way! Our home buying situation has gotten complicated, my pug is really suffering with his arthritis, and to top it off--I washed my IPhone last night with my comforter (ending to that story...fried). 

But, today is a new day and God is faithful to see me through it all! My old Droid is working for now, so that is a blessing. We got more worked out with the housing yesterday. And now I can focus on getting Geno better! Anyone have dogs with arthritis that have any suggestions on how to help when they have a BAD flare up?! (he is already on medicine)

All that to say--when it comes to trends, you don't always have to reinvent the wheel to rock them! Buffalo plaid has been huge this year. But, I don't have time to think about some super cool way to style it--I want it to be easy. What could be more easy than throwing the plaid on with some black pants, a vest, and booties?! Out the door in five minutes and no precious brain cells wasted (trust me--I need all the ones I have left right now ha!)

  2. Tori, what a week!! I'm sorry. I know when one of our dogs is sick, I am so distraught. Moving is always so stressful. And to top it off, your phone. Ugh. He is faithful. We've had kind of a hard season as well. Although not fun, I am learning to trust Him in new ways. Sending you love! On a fashion related note, no reason to reinvent the wheel when you look this good!!

  6. I must add a red buffalo shirt to my closet. Plus red+black is my favorite color duo so I clearly love this outfit. I must say all the jewelry you chose matches perfectly too, keeping in mimd that gold zipper of the puffer vest.


    Cute Fall look all in all, Ms. Tori.


    Have a great weekend, beautiful!!
