It is officially fall here in Wisconsin and the temperatures also reflect that this week! If you have been following along around here for a while, you know that I love to wear and share outfits that are completed by some type of higher heeled shoe. Whether it be boots with a three-inch heel or strappy heeled sandals, it is common for me to share looks that are elevated (literally) by the shoe option. I didn’t name the blog “Small Town in Stilettos” for nothing, folks! As much as I will always love a high heel, I have to be honest and say that I just haven’t been wearing them…

Favorite Amazon Fall Purchases
Amazon has basically been my best friend lately. It seems like I wear at least one thing that I purchased from Amazon on a daily basis. The combination of selection, pricing, and convenience is impossible for me to ignore.

Old Navy Vests: A Yearly Tradition
What is it about a great vest that makes it an essential for any fall or winter wardrobe?! Is it the versatility of being able to dress it up or dress is down? Is it the fact that its lack of sleeves makes it appropriate to keep on indoors while its cozy filling keeps you warm if you choose to wear it as outerwear? Maybe it’s the timelessness of a great vest that makes it the perfect staple piece. It’s very possible that a combination of all of these reasons is what makes a vest an absolute must have for fall and winter. I can’t be 100 percent sure. One…

White After Labor Day – It’s A Thing and It’s Here to Stay
For as long as I can remember, it has been ingrained in my mind that wearing white after Labor Day was some kind of major fashion faux-pas. There is a very specific memory that has stuck with me and further entrenched the notion. I recall being in second grade standing in line to go inside after recess and talking to a third grader, who was obviously much cooler and more knowledgeable than I was based merely on the fact that she was one year older than I. I can’t recall how it came up, or even exactly what she said, but I remember her making the point known that wearing…
