Fashion Over Forty: Shopping my Closet and Friday Favorites

Happy Friday! Sweater weather is definitely here to stay for a while and I decided to style one of my favorite sweater purchases from last year in a different way. This was one I purchased from Target by Universal Threads. 

It was supposed to be another overcast/mostly cloudy day but somehow just at the time we finally got around to taking these pictures, there was not a single cloud in the sky.... at least not enough to make a difference. 

On this day I actually had planned on visiting the apple orchard once more, but then we discovered a lake and hiking trail so we spent some time here instead.

Since this sweater is from last year I can no longer link to it, I'm sharing some of my current Target favorites below. You may also find this specific one on ThredUp or Poshmark. I think the quality is good for the price but do need to use a lint roller on the black part of the sweater (I have two cats). It washes well, I turn it inside out and wash in cold water/delicate cycle in the washing machine. Then lay flat to dry. 

Could really have used my sunglasses but left them at home...

Last year I shared a photo where I paired the sweater with blue jeans, but I'm trying to get out of my blue jean rut just a little bit and been wearing these black jeans a little more than usual. My jeans are a few years old but I'd love to get these slim straight jeans from Old Navy, of course they are sold out in Petite & Short so I won't be getting them. I really feel like there are never enough options for short people!!

Slim Straight Jeans

These boots and saddle bag you've seen me wear/carry before several times on this blog if you've been following my outfit posts. Both are old, I did find a direct link to the exact boots on Amazon. They are by Earth Origin and I find them very comfortable and true to size. I'd love this saddle bag as a real leather version but it's expensive and I don't really need another bag. If you like this style, this one is much lower priced and has good reviews. 

Here is a photo from last year where I paired the sweater with with blue jeans. You can read this original post here if you're interested.

Love these beautiful fall colors on the trail/lake we discovered. Wish this beautiful season would last a little bit longer!

Below are some of my favorites from this year's Target sweaters. 

I'm a bit tempted by the animal print sweater (listed as charcoal gray) even though I'm not usually one to wear animal prints...

Friday Favorites:

On the last Friday of each month I like to share some of my favorite purchases of the month.

Striped Cardigan Sweater

I have recently shared an outfit with this cardigan. I absolutely love it!

Redken Curvaceous Ringlet Cream

This product was recommended by my hair stylist a few years ago and it's what I've used on my naturally wavy hair (that can be a pain to style). I was happy to discover it at Ulta when I needed to re-order my foundation. 

Organic Rosehip Seed Oil

I came across this at my local Marshall's store and remembered reading many positive things about it before. Honestly I was getting tired of all the facial creams that promise something but really feel like they are all just a mix of chemicals so I am now using this oil instead of any facial creams. I use it morning and night, and it works great under my foundation. It does have a slight rosehip smell to it, which some may not like so much, but I personally love it! It's not on the Marshall's site, but I did find the exact item at Walmart.com. A few options are also available at Ulta, like this organic version. 

Rosehip Fruit Spread

Speaking of rosehips, a year or so ago found my absolute favorite Rosehip Spread at Walmart imported from Germany. It's only being sold in a package of 10, I'm on my last two jars and will need to re-order soon. My brother would mail this or bring when he visited from overseas and I was soooo excited when I found the exact brand at Walmart 😊. But it's online only. 

Thanks so much for taking the time out of your day to stop by my blog!
