Hi friends! Hope you’re having an amazing morning. Today is a packed day with podcast interviews! I have three in a row and am so excited for upcoming episodes. We have quite a few fascinating topics with extremely knowledgable guests coming up. So pumped!
For today, I’m popping in to share my kinda capsule wardrobe for fall. I call it a capsule-ish wardrobe because I tend to stick with the same staple pieces throughout each season and rotate in new and old faves. This year, it’s more out of necessity than anything, because I donated and packed up most of my clothes in Valdosta. I have hardly any fall clothes here with me! Just a couple of these tunics, plaid shirts, jeans + black pants, and a couple of sweaters I recently grabbed at Express.
For a while, I tried the capsule wardrobe thing. I got rid of most of my clothes – many of which I hadn’t worn in years – and stuck with the same staple pieces. I loved the simplicity of it but at the same time, I like trying new things. I felt this weird pressure to not buy anything and then when I did allow myself to just drop it and order some new stuff… well, I went a little crazy. It’s kind of like depriving yourself from treats; it makes it so much more tempting and can lead to going overboard later. For me, it was the same way with clothes. I do much better with moderation than all or nothing.
So this season, I’ll rotate through the same staple pieces like I usually do. But I won’t stop myself from adding in some of the trendier items that catch my eye.

(asterisks are identical or similar to something I already own and love)
Tie-front top. These are so perfect for every day.
A long cardigan (I have and love a grey one, too)*
A sweater to wear with jeans or leggings* Can’t wait to wear this one with my Spanx faux leather leggings.
A camo jacket*. I wasn’t sure how much I’d wear this, but it’s become my go-to lightweight jacket.
A black blazer. Love the cut of this one!
A leopard blouse. Gimme leopard everything.
The perfect tee (I have these in black and white)*
A silk top to dress up or down* (I have this in navy and want all the colors now…)
A midi pleated skirt* This one is liiiiiittle tight (I think it runs even smaller than the sizing recommends, but I’m going to make it work)
Black faux leather Spanx leggings (these feel amazing on and are SO, so flattering)*
A wrap dress in wine* I wear this dress with sandals, heels, or booties
Black leather slip dress (these are so trendy right now, but unfortunately the less expensive ones look more costume-y)
Suede dress. Suede is on-trend for this fall and adds an interesting texture to basics
A floral dress to wear with heels or booties
Flattering everyday dress (and $56!)
Love the fabric on this dress!
The wear-with-everything low heel* I can’t even count how many times I’ve worn these. I like that they dress up a look but the heel is low
Black studded booties* (60% off!)
Hoop earrings and decorative hoops*
Are there any trends you’re loving for fall? I’m kind of obsessed with the feathers, leopard (YAS), leather dresses, and unique sleeves that are popping up.

Hi friends! Happy Monday! How was the weekend? I hope you had a great one. Ours was so.good. It wasn’t anything super out of the ordinary, but filled with lots of friend time, family time, and the best food. That’s really all you need, right?
Friday morning, I had some avocado toast for breakfast and ended up taking the day off from the gym. Katie and I were filming 4 workouts on Saturday, so I wanted my legs to be fresh! The girls had school and requested their favorite place ever for dinner: Sweet Tomatoes. My brother Kyle is my favorite person to invite to Sweet Tomatoes (“Yeah, I love eating buffet lunch food for dinner”) but it was just us girls and my nana. We went over to my mom’s house and spent the evening chatting while the girls played in the play room.
Saturday, I made the girls French toast, we headed to the park, and later that afternoon was filming extravaganza. New workouts headed your way here on the blog and the ol’ YouTube channel! It was so much fun to shoot with Katie and Grant and I hope you love the new workouts. My legs are wicked sore this morning and I’m doing that nice sore swagger walk.
Saturday night was a fun adventure.
When I asked Liv if she wanted to go to the Greek festival, she said, “Greek? Like what do you mean?”
“It’s a festival celebrating the culture of people from Greece. So there’s music and dancing and great food.”
“Greece? You mean Danny and Sandy will be there?!”
“No, not Grease. Greece. Like the country.”
And then she and P started singing “Summer Lovin’” and were very confused about what was happening until we got there.
Even though Danny and Sandy did not make an appearance, they loved the festival. They have artisan booths and crafts, tons of food + drinks, music, a kids’ corner with a rock wall and jumping castles, and live performances. The food was even better than I remembered. We shared a meze platter, chicken, rice, salad, pita, vegetarian grape leaves, baklava, and the two of them shared a gyro. They were so cute sitting at the table enjoying their gyro and bites of the different foods for at least a half hour. Then we hit the stage where they had a DJ and danced on the dance floor with a bunch of the other kids, all wearing glow sticks. Needless to say, they both crashed on the drive home and we had the best sleep we’ve had in a long time. Apparently I just need to give them a bunch of delicious Greek food and a 2-hour dance party before bed each night.
Sunday was church and brunch at Commoner.
It was my first time trying out Commoner for brunch and the Return of the Mac was everything I could wish for. It was egg whites with poblano and veggie sausage, tomatoes, and a simple salad with creamy dressing, avocado, tomato, and butter lettuce.
The rest of the evening was spent finishing up some work deadlines and getting ready for the week. I also grabbed a copy of the new Chrissy Teigen cookbook at Target and am stoked to try some recipes for dinners coming up. (I planned PaleOMG’s shrimp chowder for dinner tonight.)
The most exciting thing on the agenda is decorating for Halloween today! ALL of our Halloween decor was packed up and stored (wah) so I’m going to make a trip to Home Goods for a couple of pumpkins and you know, whatever else happens.
Have a happy Monday!
