My favorite style and the watch I chose is the FRAKIE series and I'm obsessed!
The Frankie can come in different types of wood as well as different metal and face colors, mine is the Dark Sandalwood and smoke face with rose gold.
Not only did I love the watch, the packaging and detail put into this Luxury wooden watch delighted me!
I seriously made my husband smell the box it came in.

It started to rain in the middle of our shoot and my husband said, "You better get that nice wooden watch out of the rain!"
Well I had already read everything I could on the care and protection of my new timepiece and it turns out that the watch is water resistant and things like rain and washing your hands while wearing it isn't such a big deal.
Although I wouldn't go swimming with it on or submerge it in any way, the watch is very sturdy and I plan on wearing it dressed up and down.

It matches my Fall mood perfectly and I can't wait to wear it all season!!!
Since the watch is made out of natural materials I was inspired to go for a very earthy vibe.
This sweater is one of my current favorites and it's also one of my favorite colors.
I tucked it into a high rise distressed denim pants that I cuffed at the bottom.
It's very rare that I don't have to cuff my pants. (Short girl problems)
To finish off the look I went with some leather loafers that most likely matches a pair your Grandmother has.

I kept the accessories simple with no belt and a pair of small stud earrings, I let the Watch do all of the talking.
 The Dark Sandalwood inspired me to do a dark bold lip with a soft neutral smokey eye.

If you're wondering about the tree in the first picture it's one that fell during Hurricane Irma a couple of weeks ago.
We are all safe here but our roof needs a little TLC, we were really very fortunate.
I'll save that for another blog post though!

For now I hope this inspired you with a simple and cozy #OOTD and don't forget to fallout the giveaway entry form, it takes less than a minute!

DIY Skirt

 Here is a simple outfit that I threw together in 15 minutes and that includes my skirt DIY!

I bought this long maxi skirt about a year ago from the thrift store with the intention of taking it in.
The skirt was too big but I liked the floral pattern and the classic black and white colors.
Well a year passes and I never took it in, go figure!
I decided I would make the skirt into a sarong/wrap skirt situation. 
It's not really a permanent DIY but just incase someone is in a rush I'll give you the instructions anyways!

To start with the skirt had about 6 inches of extra room in the waist.
I cut the skirt from the waist to the hem vertically on one side.
I tied the fabric at the top and safety pined it together from beneath as far down as desired.
It ended up having a slightly ruffled look on the side that I really liked.
Since this is held together by a knot, safety pins and a prayer I would suggest wearing a slip underneath!
My favorite slip to use is the Honey Slip it comes in a buttery soft material and hides straps and things for a cleaner look.
You can click the link I provided to check it out! 
I'll definitely have an entire blogpost dedicated to how I wear my Honey Slip!

Shirt: Hanes
