At the Pumpkin Patch

This past weekend I ventured over the river and through the woods, not to Grandmother's house but to a pumpkin patch!  Although, my grandmother does live over the river and through the woods.  If you live in or around Louisville, Huber's is the place to go and while I love it, we decided to try out a new family farm.  It was a lot smaller but much less crowded and we had a blast navigating the corn maze and picking pumpkins.  All in all it was a great little trip, even if it was a bit hot for my fall enjoyment. 

I went comfy and casual with this striped top, skinny jeans and converse.  In my head I was having flashbacks to high school because I don't think I've rocked a pair of converse since then, but I am so glad I added these to my wardrobe.  They're perfect for when you need a comfortable shoe but still want an element of style.  And then there's the top.  The ruffle sleeves add the perfect feminine touch to this otherwise sporty look.  As a self proclaimed girly girl, this small detail was just what I needed so that this look still felt like me.

City Rompin'

I have a love-hate relationship with rompers.  They haven't even been on my radar until this season because it seems like every time I tried one on, I would instantly regret it.  If you have any hips at all, you know what I mean.  Now all of a sudden, I'm rompin' around at the beach and city.  What gives, Amanda, what gives?  Well, I've realized the key to finding the right romper all boils down to the store you buy it from.  I would go looking for romper love in all the wrong places, mainly stores that carry clothing in junior sizing.  Those just don't suit me. 

But then I found this pretty little thing at Loft and was in romper heaven.  I even broke my #1 shopping rule of paying full price for this, so you know it's serious.  Side note though - Loft will give you a price adjustment up to 7 days after the purchase, so I ended up saving after all.  I knew then it was meant to be!  This romper was absolutely perfect for our second day in Chicago.  We hit up the parks and Navy Pier, and this kept me cool and breezy all day.  As with all rompers, you have to practically get undressed to use the ladies' room, but if you can get over that you'll have the perfect outfit!
