Loving this top!!! Such a great color!!
ReplyDeleteJaymie
I just love that top! The color is so beautiful on you!
ReplyDeleteFizz and Frosting
Aghhhh! I want that outfit you are wearing! That is my favorite and so are the two you posted in the WUW section!!! My goodness love, love, love them. I also am giggling because I picked up that Chamberlain book last Friday to read and then put it down because I had just finished The Lies We Told by Diane Chamberlain! We are so sisters from different time zones. I need to be Christmas shopping. I have ideas as to what I am giving but no $$$ to go do it LOL damn medical bills! That collage of Autumn pics you have made - swoon! So pretty. Speaking of so pretty....you are and I love you to pieces! xoxoxoxoxooxo
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this is such a good post! I love that Lush top in fig. And I totally agree that "This is Us" and "Kevin Can Wait" are the best shows! Those recipes of yours are terrific, I am making that sweet and sour chicken this week, we LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteBurgundy and leopard is one of my favorite combinations for fall and you wear it so well, Andrea! Also, I think I need to make my mom's meatloaf after seeing this your picture. The temperatures are finally cooling down and it's officially meatloaf weather haha!

So many great things in this post! Your fig top is adorable and looks amazing paired with leopard! I keep hearing about This is Us and Kevin Can Wait and still need to set it up on the DVR. Sounds like you have the perfect weekend planned with your sons!

This top is SO gorgeous! I actually have it in the taupe color but I am OBSESSED with this shade especially paired with the leopard! You look so fabulous!
ReplyDeletewww.rosyoutlookblog.com
Love your outfit one top! You have good taste:)
ReplyDeletethat billowy top is awesome! Also...I am so ready for May, I don't know about you?!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, leopard was the perfect accessory for this outfit! You look great as always and this color is just fabulous on you! So jealous you and Mr. Nine are going to venture back to Chicago.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully Candid
The leopard is perfection and your jeans are amazing !! I rarely go to Kohl's but to get those jeans I may have to make a trip real soon !
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning color on you! Seriously that color is made for you! Beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteSo many fun things in this post. Let's start with your outfit. Love the burgundy top!! Have so much fun with your son home this weekend. I am going to be dreaming of that amazing looking fall vacation too now.

I love the color of your top! I especially love how you styled it with your animal print accessories!
ReplyDeleteI really love the leopard and burgundy together. I recently found Diane Chamberlain and really enjoyed her book, how are you liking the one you are reading? Should I add it to my list?
ReplyDeleteThat color is perfection on you! Yay for another kiddo home from college this weekend, and I finally caught up on This is Us the other night and am totally hooked! I may have shed a tear or 20 <3

Love how you paird your first outfit with leopard shoes, perfection. So much to comment on, yay for upcoming trips and I want to try out that sweet and sour chicken, yum!
ReplyDeleteI love how fall this post is. Makes me so happy. That manicotti looks amazing. The mashed potatoes too. I haven't had mashed potatoes in so long. I absolutely love Chicago.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a pretty blouse, I love the color! Except, now I have another name for this color. So far I've seen burgundy, wine, merlot, oxblood, and now fig. I know they are all variations of burgundy...some more purple (as yours) and some more brown...but the names are endless. I want to just pick one name and call it good. I've watched the Kevin Can Wait show and I am still on the fence about that one. I haven't seen the other show yet, but everyone keeps talking about it, so I might have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteLove your leopard shoes!! I just got a pair of leopard wedges and I cannot wait to wear them. The wedge is really small so I won't trip so much. haha I don't usually wear wedges because I trip too much. haha I too don't want fall to end. I missed This is Us last night! ugh, gotta watch it tonight. What a fab show.
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes you already know my love for that top!!! I still haven't ordered mine since I cant wear it right now. I am kind of hoping I can catch it on sale and then put it away for after baby. It looks gorgeous on you and love it with the leopard, obviously! mmmmmm Manicotti!!! I haven't had that in so long. Gosh I love it. So exciting you get to see your other baby soon :) This is Us is so good!
ReplyDeleteUh oh... a sale on that mug?... you're killing me. I'm gonna have to check it out now.
ReplyDeleteSo much goodness in today's post, Sista!! First of all, I love that blouse! Did you buy two? One for me and one for you!? LOL! second, just go ahead right now and Tell Mr. Nine that I'll be crashing that trip back to Chicago! It's time for a girl's trip! And bring your sweet Moma, too!! Thought about you this past weekend with the Fighting Irish, but it' s only got to get better right!?
ReplyDeleteAhem!! Blogger cut me off and I wasn't finished! Excuse me!! Anyway, I was saying that I think a great blog post would be your care packages you send to your boys. Now I'm finished. I think.
ReplyDeleteYou are just adorable! I love that plum top, and you look great in that plaid dress!! How exciting to get to spend time with your son! And I agree with the TV shows. Have you caught The Good Place? It's a good one too!
ReplyDeleteI love that Lush top, had had my eye on it for awhile and couldn't decide on a color and I am loving this one! Yay for your son coming home, that is such a great treat! I agree with Laura up there, I would love to see what you put in the care packages! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThat color looks absolutely amazing on you, Andrea! I love plum/berry colors, they are seriously my favorite.
ReplyDeleteAll of the yummy food pictures you shared, have me drooling. LOL!
I wish it could be Fall all year long. Hahaha!

I love the cut of that top and the color is beautiful! Little man woke up crying in the middle of This Is Us last night... don't think I missed anything important, but may have to stream it just to be sure! Yay for your other son returning home this weekend! Doesn't he know 46 days is way to long to go without seeing his mother?! ;-) Have fun!
ReplyDeleteRocking that shirt that is on my wishlist! It is so dang cute! I'm so happy your other son is coming to town this weekend, that will be so fun for you!
ReplyDeleteI am cracking up because I am wearing a burgundy shirt with leopard sleeves today AND JLo jeans (from Kohls)!!! Twinning!!
ReplyDeleteAnd...I also have a picture of meatloaf for "What we're eating!" Great minds think alike!!
Have a fantastic day!! :)
I love the rich color of the top with the cute leopard heels!! Sounds like you've been busy and that getaway up north looks so peaceful! Have a rest of the week Andrea!

I don't blame you for doing your Christmas shopping now. Better than dealing with crowds in two months! Take lots of pictures on the get-away next month. Do you go to the same town/city every year?

ReplyDeleteThat top is so beautiful, and I especially love the color! It's so weird but I feel like we haven't been watching football as much because we've been traveling so much, but I can't wait to get our fill over the rest of the season!
ReplyDeleteI already bought a few Christmas prezzies too!! I'll likely do the rest last minute but couldn't help myself.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that top and the leopard shoes are just perfect with this look
Love these colors together Andrea! And the zipper details on the pants are so pretty. I always plan on Christmas shopping early, but it doesn't usually work out that way...lol!

FIG! I love that name! Sounds so pretty. And you look so lovely wearing it. Glad you and your honey have a little get-away planned. You seem to be adjusting well to having the boys gone but isn't it so special when they come home for a visit?
ReplyDeleteLOVE that fig color and it's gorgeous on you. Fun stuff going on in your world. 46 days seems like an eternity when not seeing someone you love. I am loving THIS IS US too! Can't wait for Tuesday!
