Living in Yellow

Football season, legging season, pumpkin everything season, vest season, the third season, apple cider + bourbon season, and finally scarf season! If you’re anything like me, you have a closet full of scarves, and absolutely zero clue how to wear 90% of them. If it’s a set-it and forget-it type scarf, with no twisting, looping, or tugging involved, I’ll wear that thing all year long! Up until today, if it was any other type of scarf, it continued to hang in my closet looking cute as can be next to my fall clothes.

But we don’t want our scarves to just hang there looking cute for no one! Fall is the perfect time to stock up on different styles of scarves, or different colors and patterns than you already have! Especially when Macy’s is having a Customer Appreciation Sale [now through 10/21], where we can stock up for less! During the sale, use code THANKS for 25% off your order, AND free shipping at $49. Don’t forget one of my favorite Macy’s secrets- add a beauty item and your whole order will ship for free!

P.S. Not too long ago, we asked you guys [The LIY Tribe!] on Facebook if scarves were out or if they were here to stay, and most of you said scarves are in again this year! So now that you know scarves are here to stay and you’re heading over to Macy’s to add a few new scarves to your collection, we need to make sure we’re confident in how to wear them! So today I’m going to share with you what I’ve learned about four different styles of scarves. How to tie them, what to wear them with, when to wear them and more!

When we think of the term “poncho,” we may still be visualizing the clear, giant trash bag mom and dad used to throw over us in the pouring rain, expecting it to feel like it wasn’t raining on us [note: it was definitely still raining on us]. But over the past several years, ponchos have become a staple in women’s closets from the moment that first leaf hits the ground, taking them all the way through winter. While there are different styles of ponchos out there, today I’m showing you a few different ways to wear the open front style- dressed up for work or an event, and a date night look!

I think what I love most about a poncho is that it’s essentially giving me the green light to have a blanket around me all day or night and call it clothing. Maybe this is why so many people are adding these to their wardrobes- they’re catching onto the “I can wear a blanket all day” idea. I’ve yet to find a poncho that isn’t super cozy, and they come in so many amazing patterns, colors, styles, and even materials!

Lord & Taylor is a great resource for finding a poncho [or two] to either start your poncho collection or add to your poncho addiction. During their Friends & Family Event [now through 10/23], you can save an extra 30% on almost everything and save 15% on almost all beauty! Whether it’s taking advantage of their buy online pick up in store option, or being a member of their Loyalty Rewards Program, there’s so much to love about Lord & Taylor. And let’s not forget, they carry SO many of my favorite brands [Sam Edelman, Liverpool, Vince Camuto, Spanx, and more!]
