Here's my Outfit for the Link-Up and coordinates well with the fact that Monday's Post brought you my Favorites of Fall and 2 of the items were plaids and Hunter boots so this one incorporates both. The minute I saw this Avia plaid top at Francesca's, I knew it had to be mine. It's flowy and has such a cute neckline, not the traditional collared neckline and just look a the contrast polka dots when it is cuffed. I will be wearing this on repeat with jeans and boots.
Now to the What's UP!!
1. WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK: Italian Turkey Burger Soup; Pork Chops with Mashed potatoes and golden mushroom gravy; 5 Ingredient Chicken and Pasta and Tony Sacco's Coal Fired Pizza
Turkey Burger Soup Recipe Here
Put chops in crockpot with one can golden mushroom and one can cream of mushroom soup (I use healthy request), then add one half cut up onion and cook all this on low for 4-6 hours until chops are tender, serve over mashed potatoes.
5 Ingredient Chicken and Pasta Here
2. WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT: Our Summer vacation especially since Summer is coming to a close; such quality times with the 5 of us together...miss that, miss the two older studs!!

ReplyDeleteYum that turkey burger soup sounds amazing!! And I was really into scrap booking when I was in high school and I've been wanting to get back into it recently!

Funny enough, I love your football outfit. I always wished I was a sports person so I could wear cute outfits like that one. Despite living with 3 sports nut, I just never found team, or a sport for that matter..... But YOU look super cute.
ReplyDeleteLOVE those red boots! And your family picture while on vacay is gorgeous, filled with so much happiness! Yay for football and I'll send some warmth your way so your winter isn't what they're predicting <3

I love plaid!!! This looks great with your white pants and those boots!
ReplyDeleteI am ready for all things fall. It has been so dang humid here that I am ready for the change! Has it been super humid for you guys too? I never know if it's worse here being right on the Mississippi or if it's the whole region. Either way, bring on football and cooler weather!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous lady!! I love this red plaid on you, the cuff is such a great detail. Obsessed with your wellies.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful shirt - love all the little details. I need to come to your house for dinner!

Loving the plaid! Yay for all things fall & your boys coming home this month.
ReplyDeleteWell aren't you looking all fall over here?!?! I have made the burger soup before, it is yummy!! And now I just want to go home and eat mashed potatoes and gravy, so thanks for that. I hope you are enjoying One True Loves. I loved it!
ReplyDeleteI'm living in total denial of that Farmer's Almanac. As much as I hate this heat, I dread a miserable winter
ReplyDeleteThat plaid, and those boots, freakin' fantastic! And yay for getting to see your boys next month, that is something to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteSO many great looks but I hear you about the importance of owning of a white down button down shirt! They are so versatile and instantly make you feel polished! The first look is just perfect for fall!
ReplyDeleteI hope your day is as beautiful as you are!

Love the plaid top, especially the contrasting cuffs! I hope you have a relaxing Labor Day weekend. It looks like my Texas Longhorns will be playing your fighting Irish this weekend...hook 'em horns! :)
ReplyDeleteL.O.V.E. the plaid with polka dots! Soooo cute! I love mixing patterns. I also am kind of enamored with your Notre Dame game outfit! That's my style girl! I'll just trade it for NCSU or Panthers. All love, all love. Tell me about the book! I'm probably going to make that crock pot recipe for my family when it cools down a bit. Ewww to wet winters. I like unseasonably warm like we had here last year! It was 80 degrees on Christmas!?!?!? What?! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo to my favorite person who I am OK with decorating for fall on Labor Day weekend hehehe!
ReplyDeleteAww hooray for your kiddos' first trip home so soon! I know you are excited for that! And I have to tell you - I LOVE this outfit! So perfect for fall!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason the comment box is not appearing for me, so I am just going to tag onto Rach's comment! That plaid top is super cute - the polka dots on the cuffes are adorable!
DeleteI'm a little hungry after this post. :) Very pretty looks.
ReplyDeleteAndrea.. you are positively adorable! I love your style!!! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI have red Hunter boots, too. I just got mine in May (for Mother's Day), so I haven't worn them much, but I am soooo excited to wear them this Fall & Winter! I can't wait to see how you style them, so I can copy your ideas! ;)
ReplyDeleteDo you use a boot liner in yours for the Winter, or just wear thick socks?
What a cute plaid shirt! I'm ready for fall and for plaid :)
ReplyDeleteI love so much about this post! That red plaid shirt is so freaking adorable! Love it! I always love your recipes - I'm making the pork chop one tomorrow - just got chops at Costco tonight! I'm with you - Sept 1st is fall decor time - literally from Sept 1st through Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year!!! Girl, I wish I had my scrapbooks updated - I am so behind. My blog is my attempt at scrapbooking these days. I would love to get my oldest son's scout one done for his Eagle Court of Honor - all we have left is his paperwork! I am loving that Ariana Grande song too!
ReplyDeleteWhen the weather begins to get cooler, I like to always have a white sweater jacket. You can throw it over pretty much anything!
ReplyDeleteI love a bright plaid. I would like your shirt, please.
ReplyDeleteI think you look gorgeous on a crisp white shirt! I really need to find myself a new one, although I like the ones that are a bit softer :D

First off, thank you for the sweet comments on my blog. Made my morning. Secondly, what a great post full of all kinds of inspiration. I think I may seriously try the chicken and pasta recipe. I've been in such a cooking rut lately. And your outfits are adorable. I love the plaid with the rain boots!
ReplyDeleteOk, I absolutley love your What's Up idea! Everyone of us needs to do something like this, what a fun way to get to know you better and keep in touch.
ReplyDeleteYour plaid is the best! That added denim cuff is such a fun element and of course red Hunter's . . . you can't go wrong there you cute lady. Sure enjoyed co-hosting with you fabulous ladies.
You look so pretty, Andrea! Love the boots <3

Yay plaid! And white jeans! It hasn't quite been cool enough for that yet around here, but it is coming soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited that it's finally football season! It's been so much fun to have the games on all day today! And that outfit is so cute! I love how you have your red hunters on and they go so well with that shirt!
ReplyDeleteYou are gorgeous. Love the cuff detail on your plaid top. I also love your white shirt and hat combo. Adorable! Can I come eat at your house??
ReplyDeleteI love your adorable look Andrea--that plaid shirt is too fun and I LOVE the hunter boots!! You'll have to let me know how you like One True Loves. I got that from the library but had to send it back before I could get to it--not sure if it's worth waiting in the holds queue again or not! :) Have a great week!
