Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend. We hosted our third annual meat fest. A couple years ago several of our guys friends came over, took over my kitchen, and smoked every kind of meat imaginable before the rest of our friends joined for dinner. It quickly became a fall tradition. They take our TVs (yes plural) outside. Football is watched, cornhole is played, too much food is eaten, and we have a generally great time. I love sitting back and letting the men do the cooking.
I wore this easy outfit for the day (see my Instagram snap here). I made the comment to my friends that I don’t do casual very well. I enjoy dressing up, and I don’t feel like I have the casual chic thing down that so many of you do. I always feel like a bit of a poser. When I shared this snap on Instagram and my fall post, people seemed to like it. It made me think I need to work on and share more casual looks. I’d love to hear what you all would like to see more of on the blog. Anyways, this outfit is a recreation of one I shared previously. Adding a great pair of boots and a leather jacket, made it the perfect fall weekend look. These pieces are going to be heavy in my rotation. How fun is this blue moto jacket from Santa Fe Apparel? It’s a great quality faux leather and the blue will go with so much. If you follow me on Instagram, you know I have also been on a major boot kick. I’m obsessed with this Sole Society pair. They really are a great destination for fall boots. Just see last week’s post for more evidence. Be sure to check out the other Blogger Nation girl’s selections.

That jacket looks amazing on you and those boots are to die for. Sounds like you had an amazing time with your friends. Enjoy your new week!
What a nice casual outfit! The jacket looks so pretty on you! I like that it is short (on you) and one can see the longer shirt. I’m looking for a similar jacket but the ones I’ve tried on are always long. I’m glad that you had such a nice time with your friends. I love meat and would have enjoyed that dinner very much. Have a great week!

You look lovely in your fall layers, casual and chic i say! I hope your friends also did the dishes over the meat fest,

I think you nailed the casual chic look. This looks fantastic on you. I never noticed that you did not wear that many casual outfits, but I think you look just as great in these looks as well. It sounds like it was a very fun weekend. I love the faux leather jacket. I love faux leather since it is easier to take care of, is less expensive and looks just as good as leather. This was a great find.

Letting the guys do all the cooking sounds like a great idea to me! I love your casual outfit. The jacket and booties are fabulous. I love all your outfits, but yes, I would love to see more casual looks as I don’t work outside the home so I dress primarily casually.
Sounds like a fun weekend! I love this relaxed look on you! those booties are amazing!
