If you don´t know what to wear go for Monochrome…

If you really have no clue what you should wear and time is a pressing matter (which it is most mornings juggling breakfast, kindergarten lunch and dressing 3 toddlers in our example) go for a monochrome look. Choose a color and wear it head to toe. This can be a cozy burgundy or a vibrant indigo blue but stay in your color range. For this look I went with a chocolate brown from head to toe and added a checkered blazer jacket in the same colorway. 

This will always look chic and put together if it was intentionally or a last-minute decision and always accessorize.

A Pumpkin inspired Green and Orange Tablescape for Thanksgiving…

….

We are in the final week of rounding-up all of my Fall posts so here we go with one last autumnal table scape for our Friendsgiving dinner next week. It is very pumpkin inspired. I just love a pumpkin. I don´t know if it is the vibrant color, the shape or the season they are in cause Fall is the best of all.

 

Pumpkin inspired Table Scape

I love to layer different plates and colors cause it creates interest. I started with the tablecloth. I just love orange for Fall. It is such a happy and vibrant color. To break the huge gingham pattern I topped it of with a green tablecloth in the middle. I didn´t have a centerpiece so I added some candles and little pumpkins and the most gorgeous flowers. 

As far as place settings go I started with a burnt orange place mat and then the big plate followed, then the napkin with the pretty embroidered pumpkin and the pumpkin shaped small plate. 

I like to offer two plates cause guests can have some bread and butter on the small plate and enjoy the main course on the big one. A little silverware (although it was golden) and a two glasses, for water and champagne and we are good to go.

Oh how I love to create seasonal table settings.

Why Layering is the Key to gorgeous Fall and Winter Looks…

….

We live in Germany which means the weather is generally on the cold side. The months of October until March are usually not the warmest – at least not in the mornings – so layering, or how my husband calls it the onion look. really is the key if you don´t want to compromise style for warmth.

How to layer your outfit

This look in particular is the perfect layering look no matter the weather will be. I was wearing an oversized woolcoat over the whole look cause it fit over the checkered jacket perfectly and it was a little chilly without.

Layering starts with the first piece you want to wear. This is usually a rather thin t-shirt or longsleeve. Then you can top it of with a cardigan, sweater or sweater vest like I did here. And to top it of you add any kind of jacket or coat. I have found this gorgeous waxed jacket over on H&M the other day. It has a leather collar and you cinch the waist which sets the right focous on your proportions and makes you look much slimmer. A nice side effect if you ask me.

I also always like to layer when we are at a Christmas market or at an festive ocassion outdoors. Always have my jacket open cause what for would I wear the Christmas sweater. A sleeveless shirt and a longsleeve under the sweater plus the coat or puffer jacket over it (open, but still) so you can „show“ your cute Christmas themed sweater.

Everything I have worn in September and October…

….

The month of September and October have been a whirlwind outfitwise. I was wearing lots of Fall inspired outfits but we had two Summer vacations (one at the beginning of September and the other at the beginning of October) so my outfits are a little mixed but the last few weeks have been very fall-ish.
