Celebrating October in Colorful Fall Clothing!

Kelly Lacy Photo on Over 50 Feeling 40

It is one of my top three favorite months…OCTOBER!  Bring it on for colorful fall clothing and fun autumn decor.   I saw this sign in Kirklands and had to whisper…YES!

For me, there is no better way to celebrate the month than by wearing fall clothing which just says...Smile, it’s autumn!

As soon as the weather changed, I pulled this Soft Surroundings cardigan from my closet.  I love to wear it in fall…along with the necklace also from Soft Surroundings, and I have enjoyed so much being out and about this year.

I love this rich chocolate brown and have owned this garment for a few years.  But, this year, there are so many beautiful autumn colored garments on the market and it fits right in.  

For example, my friend Leigh Anne and I went shopping recently and she saw this gorgeous saffron vest at Dillard’s

The Minx Quilted Zip-Front Woven Vest is by Joules, and I really like the flattering design details in this vest…it is made to shape and not a typical puffy fall vest. 

Actually, every where we went the golds, oranges, reds, cinnamons were rampant and demanding attention…again, they spoke Fall!

So, yesterday, when I needed to go to an event and woke up to 57 degrees outside, I decided to go with my new Talbot’s ribbed linen blend poncho and Talbot’s jeggings. 

This is styled similar to Monday’s poncho with the JJill White Blouse underneath.  The burnt orange of this poncho is one of my favorite colors.  It is on sale!

Note:  I am cleaning out my kitchen preparing for an upcoming remodel…so please no comments on the messy dining room!

  1. That Soft Surroundings sweater is gorgeous Pam! You look just beautiful in that outfit, and it definitely is the perfect way to welcome October. Honestly, that is just stunning! I do love the colors of fall, and that vest is a color I’d definitely like to have more of. Your dining room is not messy. I wish I could send you a picture of mine at this moment. All the carpet in the house has been taken out and my house looks like a construction zone. The dining room is empty except for a small table (where I’m on my computer) and the floors are ghastly! This house was built in 1906 and the way they did hardwood in those days was much different. So when you talk about a mess, I’m living it. I’ve been painting walls every day this week and have more to go. All a means to an end! The leaves are changing here and it’s really pretty, so I plan to take a little break today to drive to the park to enjoy the colors. You look right in step in both of your outfits for this “best of fall” month!

  2. Most people I know are painting or remodeling their homes…I guess we all took time to look things over during the shut down! Enjoy your time out today Karen!!

  3. You look great in that poncho over shirt and leggings! Great spice color! Love the colors of autumn! And they are so you Pamela!
    For me—I’m going to look for that fabulous vest! Perfect for an October day in NewEngland!

  4. You look stunning in the poncho – love that color on you and really like the white shirt peaking out!

  5. This comment is from another post. I made the 5 hour beef stew recipe you posted earlier in the week and it was easy and delicious. I would definitely recommend this recipe. Both my husband and I loved it.

  6. Good Morning! 🌻 Like you, October is a favorite. Teaching, school always settled into a rhythm by October, there were wonderful field trips to be taken in the crisp fall air, and finally everyone could comfortably start enjoying the cozier flannels, plaids, tweeds, and occasional corduroys. This year, Year #2 of retirement, I find myself in the midst of our second bath remodel (our kitchen has become last on the list now, postponed until after the holidays so we can take a bit of a break after four long months of fix-ups!) . . . so I sympathize with you feeling like the house is in disarray. Good things to follow, though! I like the Talbot’s vest from today’s slide show. I have two blue vests, and the model wearing a long sleeve cream tee and jeans is pretty much me, to a T. 😊 My look would have a scarf and either loafers or boots depending on the weather. I might pick up the green vest, though I’d prefer a deeper forest green over the Kelly. Oh, another thing I love about October: sleeping with the windows open all night and snuggling deep into the covers!

  7. I agree, Connie! I love to sleep under cozy covers surrounded by cold air. Because of our climate, we often go a long time before we turn on the heat! I love the house crispy cold!

  8. WOW, WOW, WOW in your choices for yourself today, Pamela, especially the colors and assembly of that first Soft Surroundings outfit. SO FLATTERING…and comfortable…talk about elegant!

  9. I love your autumn outfits today, Pam. You look fabulous!
    This is one of my favorite months also. The leaves are turning here in Colorado and we had frost on the roof this morning! It’s vest and sweater weather, and I couldn’t be happier!

  10. You look so confident in each outfit you featured today. I really like the brown and black topper. You have inspired me in the way you presented the necklace. I have a Soft Surrounds necklace I purchased a long time ago but just could not find a way to feature it and you have given me inspiration. Have a lovely October!

  11. Love that poncho, and its on sale! Yeah
    FYI I have the exact same curtains in my living and dining room areas. L8ve those colors and very fallish

  12. I really like the curtains too! I purchased them several years ago at Kohl’s.,, they were a great find!

  13. Happy October!

    I’ve long been a fan of mixing brown and black and your first outfit is just wonderful!! You look fabulous in both of your outfits!

    I love fall and this year I am appreciating all the more. We’ve had way too many hot and humid days this summer and the cooler temps are so refreshing. Plus, I am big fan of fall clothes — jackets and scarves especially.

    That vest is great. I like the color and the fact that it is not too bulky.

  14. Yes! I’m also an October lover. In fact, how could I not love October? Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary, Monday is my birthday, and later in the month is the day that I committed my life to the Lord more than four decades ago. Add to that all the beautiful fall colours and it’s just a glorious month! The L.M. Montgomery quote is a favourite of mine and I actually posted it on Facebook this morning.
