I know I keep saying this, but we are having the most gorgeous fall weather this year. It’s absolute perfection. The mornings are cool, but most days warm up into the 60s. This week we’ve even had some 70-degree weather. There hasn’t been much rain, so the leaves are taking their time changing colors, and it looks like a postcard wherever I go. Even as I sit here typing this post, I can hear a gaggle of geese flying above our house while a cool, dry breeze wafts through the open window. It’s almost magical.
I wore this outfit to church a few weeks ago. I bought this jean skirt in the summertime, and now that I’m transitioning my wardrobe to fall, I realized that it’s the perfect thing to pair with my brown riding boots. Yay for versatile wardrobe pieces!!
The ivory cashmere cowl neck sweater is several years old. It is shorter than current trends, which works well with skirts.
I accessorized with gold because it’s so pretty with the warm tones in the brown boots and ivory sweater. I started with the split ring. I’m obsessed with this thing. I wear it every chance I get, and I like how the jade green and vintage gold play off the ivory sweater. To that I added the ivory and gold enamel bangle and the spikey cluster bracelet. I felt like the sweater needed something to jazz up the front so I wore my chevron necklace.
I added gold hoops, and I grabbed a light brown crossbody bag for pictures, although I actually carried my snakeskin tote to church.
We’ve discussed the boots a gagillion times. They’re such a classic, but what I really like about them is how they hug my calves. No one wants gaping boots when you wear a skirt. It occurred to me later that I should have worn my ivory boot socks. That would have been super cute. Oh well, next time!!
I love this outfit for church or for lunch out with girlfriends, or if I was still teaching school, I think it would be perfect for that too.

That is a gorgeous sweater! Great way to pair it with a skirt to hide the length. And can we talk about your boots? swoon!

You look great! I’m always looking for shorter sweaters. If tops are long enough to cover my hips at all I have to go up a size, and then they look too big through the torso. It’s so hard right now!
Ha, right after I commented a sponsored post for Land’s End popped up with the model wearing an ivory cardigan, denim skirt, and brown boots!
That is eerie!
Love this look!
Love the outfit! I need to find me a denim skirt because of its versatility. I wish the highs here in GA were only in the 60’s, but I know that’s coming. I have our windows open and the furnace off, so we can enjoy the natural air conditioning, get all of the outside smells, and enjoy the beauty of Fall. Have a blessed day and weekend!
Obsessed with that denim skirt!!!
You look fabulous my friend!!!
LOVE the denim skirt! So perfect.
At long last, the return of boots! Love the outfit you’ve paired yours with. That denim skirt is perfection.
Thanks, girl! It’s so good to see you around. You’ve been way too scarce lately.
So funny! I JUST went to a Silpada party last night and ordered this necklace! Must’ve been the right choice! I think it’s going to be very versatile. LOVE how it looks with your outfit!
It is so versatile! I wear it a lot! ENJOY!
Very comfortable outfit! Love the length of the jean skirt, and you pulled it off nicely with the boots! Cozy and warm turtleneck for a perfect fall day!
Love that skirt! Vintage is right on.
Love your denim skirt and all of your jewelry! Thanks for hosting every Friday:)

Very cute. 🙂 I like my denim skirt as a transition piece. I’ve been wearing it with sweater tights & my cowboy boots as it gets colder.
Perfectly fall! And I am obsessed with that split ring!!! Gorgeous! Carylee | http://morepiecesofme.com
Love the Fall leaves in your pictures. Beautiful!!
Thank you! It is so pretty here right now!
Denim skirts are all the rage right now! I love how you styled yours with the dark leather boots! Have a great weekend

I love this denim skirt look on you! It’s casual and stylish and those boots make it perfect for fall. Love that ring, so unique!
So are you and Cyndi Spivey sisters or just fellow bloggers???
Haha! Just fellow bloggers. 🙂 We’ve only met face to face once in our life. 🙂
Love the boots and the necklace! Such a cute outfit.
Love this chic Fall look! Wish the temps in SoCal would cool down so I can start wearing my sweaters!
Oh those riding boots are uber stylish and perfect with a denim skirt. I love your choice of jewellery with the outfit – subtle but eye-catching.

Great look Jo-Lynne. I just styled a denim skirt too, but I think I love this one more. It has an edgy young look to it!
Adore it with the riding boots.
This is a great fall outfit! I love how easy denim skirts are to style with boots and sweaters. =)

I hope you are having a great week so far!

How often do you purge your clothing pieces? You have so many pieces of clothing. Anytime I do a search for wardrobe ideas you come up in a new outfit! 🙂 I add 1 or 2 pieces a year!! And every few years I update my core pieces. I just don’t have room for much but I do want to look more pulled together.
Love your style. Easy, Mom appropriate, casual but neat.
Hey Melissa. I will be doing a closet reveal later this week or next, but I don’t have as many clothes as it may appear. ☺️ I cycle through a lot more clothing than the average person because the blog is my job, and people like to see current items as much as possible.
I return some things — like those try-on sessions I do, I don’t keep all of that. I do that as a service to you all, to help you weed through everything out there and find the good stuff. And even the stuff you see on the blog, some of it I only wear long enough for the photo shoot. Other things that I keep, I may only keep for the season, and when it sells out, I can no longer link to it, so I donate it or sell it.
Also, I work with brands, and sometimes they send me clothing to facilitate their sponsored posts. I have a separate clothing rack in my room where I keep the clothes that are for the blog, and I try to keep my personal closet highly edited so I don’t have so much that it’s overwhelming. I mix in my own things with new things I purchase to feature on the blog, so you see a mix here and on Instagram. I know it seems excessive, but it’s part of the job, so I just try to be as responsible as I can. I hope that helps clear things up! 🙂
