(upbeat music) – Hi there, my name is Melissa Mortenson, from polkadotchair.

com, and, today, I am gonna showyou a really fun project that gives you the opportunity to repurpose some of the sweatshirts that you have around your house.

My kids played sports in high school, and my oldest daughterplayed field hockey, and I ran, when she graduated high school, to make a T-shirt forher, a T-shirt quilt, and I realized that all of her cutest items were sweatshirts.

And I was like, well, I don't know what I'm supposed todo with the sweatshirts because we wanted to keep 'em, but she'd grown out of 'em, and it's just not realisticto keep that many sweatshirts.

So I got the idea to turn theminto a sweatshirt blanket.

So it's kind of like a sweatshirt quilt, like a T-shirt quilt, but with sweatshirts.

And it's really funbecause it is self-binding, you don't need to use any batting, you just need 12 sweatshirts and two yards of sweatshirt fleece, and I'll go ahead andshow you how to make it.

(upbeat music) Okay, the first thing you needto do before you get started is you need to cut up your sweatshirts.

For this project, we'reusing 12 sweatshirts, so there's 12 squares.

So you can decide howyou wanna break that up.

If you only have six sweatshirts, you can use the front and the back of thesweatshirts, if you want to.

Or if you have 12 sweatshirts, you can use just the front.

On some of my sweatshirts, there was things on the backthat we wanted to use too.

But just however you do it, your design, you wanna make sure thatthere are 12 squares.

Okay, so what you're gonna do is you're gonna take yoursweatshirt, like this.

And what I am using is a 15 1/2 inch ruler, and this is really nice becauseit keeps everything square, you don't have to takea lot of measurements.

It'll go really quicklyif you get one of these, and I'll go ahead and make sure that I link up where I got this for you.

So we've got the ruler.

You're gonna need a rotarycuter and some sharp scissors.

So take your sweatshirt.

The first thing I did was I took my ruler.

This is a men's extra large.

And I just made sure that all of my image wouldfit within the ruler.

And this one does, so I'm gonna go ahead and set the ruler aside.

And I'm gonna go ahead and start cutting.

So what I like to do is just cut the side seam up, because you're just pretty much gonna separate the back from the front.

And this doesn't have to be precise, you just need to get it apart.

And then, gonna cut the sleeve off.

Make sure, when you do this, you don't cut too close to the edge.

And, also, if you have asweatshirt with a raglan top, where raglan would be something like where the sleevecomes out to the shoulders, you wanna make sure youdon't cut the shoulder off, because you might need someof this part of the sweatshirt to make your square, sogo ahead and just cut it maybe halfway down thearm, if that's the case.

But this one's not a raglan style, so we're gonna go ahead and cut it.

You're not gonna cut the neckline off.

We're just kinda roughlychopping things up.

And we wanna separatethe front from the back.

(upbeat music) So then all of this is extra, so we're just gonna goahead and set it aside.

If you don't have enoughsquares, you can use the back, if you want to, if youwant just a plain square.

So now what you're gonna do is take your sweatshirton your cutting mat, and we're just gonna lay it out, like so.

Okay, so here we've got this.

Now, this ruler's really nice, because there is acenter line marked on it.

So what you're gonna do is you're gonna come up ashigh as you can on the neck.

Every sweatshirt's gonnabe a little different, depending if you're dealing with a teenager sized sweatshirt.

If a kid sized sweatshirt, you're probably gonna needto use a smaller ruler.

But like I said, this size ruler worked well for me from adult sized small to extra large with my sweatshirts.

Okay, get that on there.

Use this ruler to kind of make sure, see, I feel like that'sa little off square, we'll go ahead and square that up, I'm gonna line this up so everything looks centered.

Okay, and then once you get it centered, you are gonna go ahead and cut it.

Just leave the ruler in place.

Since it's stretchy fabric, it is a little bit moreforgiving than a quilting cotton, but you do wanna do your bestto keep it perfectly square.

Okay, so we've got that cut out.

If you were making a T-shirt quilt, then you would want to add some sort of stabilizer to the back, but since the sweatshirts are a little heaviermaterial to start with, we don't need to addany kind of stabilizer, so we're gonna go aheadand discard the scraps.

And then I'm gonna go aheadand move the ruler aside, 'cause we don't need that right now.

And you have got one of the squares for your sweatshirt.

Okay, so what I did isI took my 12 squares and I cut them out, andthen you can lay it out.

If you have a designwall, you can use that, or you can just lay it out on your floor, get a design that youlike for your squares.

Your sweatshirt quilt, ifyou make it just like mine, is gonna have four rowsof three squares each.

So I've already sewn some of the rows, but I'm gonna go ahead and sew the bottom row for you today.

Okay, so what you're gonnado, just very simply, is you're gonna pin the sweatshirt piecestogether right sides facing.

So we're just gonna takethis along this edge.

And pin these, like this.

And then, on my sewing machine, I have 1/4 inch foot on it.

I like to use 1/4 inchseam allowance for this, because I find that, with allthe bulk of the sweatshirts, you just don't want alot of seam allowance.

The fabric is a little more stretchy than you're used to working with, so you do have a little more flexibility when it comes to seam allowance.

So you're just gonna take these and take 'em over to your machine.

Just using a standard stitch.

And I'm gonna come down.

Now, in this case, you do wanna go ahead and make sure that you backstitch, because you wanna try your best to keep the seams as square as possible, 'cause it's gonna stretch as you go.

There I'll show you we have two of our squares sewn together.

And then we just need to go ahead and sew the third square to this row.

(upbeat music) And peel that off and then we can see I have my rows sewn.

Now, I do recommend thatyou lightly press this.

When you press, you need to make sure you only press on the wrongside of the fabric though, because this that's on thefront of the sweatshirt is not heat-resistant.

So if you touch your ironto this, it's gonna melt and it's gonna get all over your iron, so you do need to be careful with that.

Okay, so here we have our row, and I know that this is my bottom row, and I'll show you what I've got so far.

I don't know how much of this you can see, but I've already got a few rows sewn, so I've got nine sewn together.

So I'm just gonna show youhow I attach this last row.

I'm gonna go ahead and we're gonna pin this.

So I'm pinning the top of the bottom row to the bottom of the last row.

And then, I will showyou a trick for pinning.

You wanna go ahead andmake sure your seams are nested, like this.

So they're kind of foldedto one side, and one is, and they're right on top of each other, and that will help you get a more accurate seam there.

Since you're workingwith sweatshirt material, there's just not enough body in the fabric for it to be perfect, so if you're somebody that has to have your quilting joints exactly right, you might have a hard time with this one, just because the fabric is just really, it's not as stretchy as a T-shirt, but it's stretchy enough that it's gonna kind of giveyou a headache if you try that.

So we're gonna go ahead and pin this.

I always like to start by pinning my seams between my blocks first, and then go back and pinthe in-between parts.

(upbeat music) So now I'm just gonna go through and just double check onthe other side of the fabric that I didn't miss any spots.

Or if there's a spot like this, that it's cut really close, you can see the seam.

I don't know if you cansee that, 'cause it's dark.

It is really close.

I'm just gonna go ahead andstitch over that a second time.

So now you have got, I'll show you the best I can, you have got 12 pieces sewn together.

Okay, now what I'm gonnago ahead and show you is I'm gonna talk about the back.

So this blanket is self-binding, which means you don'thave to attach a binding.

And it's also a blanket, not a quilt, because there is no batting on the inside.

So what you need to do is you need another pieceof sweatshirt fleece.

You can buy a sweatshirtfleece at most fabric stores.

You need a piece of fleeceat least 60 inches wide.

You can also use polarfleece if you wanted.

I just thought that I wantedto use sweatshirt fleece for the whole thing.

So what you're gonna do, and I'm gonna go ahead and tell you what I'm gonna do, and then we'll take a break, and I'll come back when it's pinned, but what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna find, on each of my pieces of fabric, on all four sides, I am going to find the center.

So I'm gonna come in here and I'm gonna put a pin, just like that.

And then I'm gonna go on theother side and find the center, and then all four sides, and then I'm gonna do the same thing with this piece of fabric.

And then after I've got the centers of all four sides together, I'm going to pin the pieces together, starting at the center and working out.

Okay, I wanna just really quickly explain to you how this is pinned.

What I did is I found thecenter of both pieces.

Your backing is 12 inchesbigger than your front.

And I pinned from thecenter out to the edge, pinning the backing on thesweatshirts right sides facing, and then you're gonna stop pinning about 1/2 an inch to aninch from the corner.

And you're gonna dothat on all four sides.

So you're gonna end up with these funny littledog ears on the ends.

Next, what we're gonna do, and I'll go ahead and dothis and check back in, is I'm gonna go ahead and Iam just gonna stitch a seam down all four sides.

I'm gonna stop aboutthis far from the edge.

Okay, so what I have done is I have sewn the back to the front, and since the back is bigger, I've got this extra piece.

On the bottom, I did not sew this, because I'm gonna need thisto turn right side out.

But you're probably like, what are we gonna dowith this weird thing? So what you're gonna do is you are gonna take the blanket and you are gonna foldit diagonally across.

And with smaller blankets, you can kind of do this all at once.

With this bigger one, it might be a little more of a struggle to get it all at the same time, but you do kind of wannaget all your layers nice and even.

Okay, so, we've got it like this.

So we've got this.

You've stopped sewing here and here, so we're just gonnakind of fold this back.

And then what we're gonna do is we're just gonna use, I amgonna use a piece of chalk.

You can use a ruler if you want, depends what color your fabric is.

You might also need to use a marking pen.

And we are just gonnacome from here to there and mark that, and then I'm gonna go and puta couple pins in it, like so.

And then I'm gonnastitch from here to here, along this diagonal edge.

And you can see my, I'm all lined up really nicely, like that.

So I'm gonna go ahead and stitch that.

I'll stitch all four sides, and then I'll go ahead andshow you what to do next.

Okay, so after you've sewnyour front to your back, and you've left it open, and then you've gone aheadand made your mitered corners, before you cut anything, what you need to do is you need to come inand you need to make sure that you did it the right way, because it's a little counterintuitive, and, honestly, it took me acouple times to do it right.

So I'm just gonna come inhere, put my hand in here, and turn this corner right side out and just kind of make sure that that's an actualmitered corner, and it is.

I could stitch it a littlebit closer in there, just to kind of line itup a little bit better, but, for the most part, I'm really happy with how that looks.

So since I did that for all four corners, what I'm gonna do istake my scissors in here, and I'm gonna go ahead andcut the extra fabric off, all four corners, since I've gone in and I've double checkedthat everything is okay.

So after you've got all this, what you're gonna do then is you're just going to (chuckles) come in here and you'regonna turn it right side out through that hole that you left.

(upbeat music) Then the very last thingthat you're gonna do, and I'll go ahead and make sure that I show you afinished picture of this, but it's a really simple step, and I can show you right here.

So you've got, you're gonna, like I said, put it on the floor, make sure everything is layingin the correct direction, you don't have any big puckers.

And then you're just gonna come in here and fold this under and put some pins in it, just like that.

And your very last step is you are going to top stitch.

So you are just gonna come in here and you are going to use top stitch right along the edge of this all the way around.

And as you do that top stitch, you'll go ahead andyou'll catch this seam.

And then give it a little bit of a press and you're good to go.

(upbeat music).

this haircut was a bad idea hello everyone and welcome back to my channel how's everyone doing today I am lucky really tired that's time you see this I will be on a plane to New York and I thought it would be a great idea to put together some

winter outfits because it do be kind of really cold in New York I don't know okay so to start off I took this beige neutral top which is a really good basic piece for anything and then I also paired it with this little really skirt from forever 21

since this is a very girly look I like to tone it down with something like a big trench coat that goes down to my knees also because it's warm so the key here is to layer and basically just be warm oh with that I took these little combat

boots to kind of break up the girly violence going on and then to top off the whole outfit I have my little Louis Vuitton bag with and sort of like industrial straps which I think will good to go good with the shoes Thanks so next off on my

list I have this sort of cheetah print shirt that I got in France but it's from H&M so I'll have it linked down below I took some of these blue type jeans that are kind of like they're not flare they're like straight leg but they cut off at

my ankles so they do look a little weird I'll need to cut all these little combat movies because they go up to where his pants cut off so it kind of gives it like a really edgy vibe and then to top off that look because I'm not going

with just one layer of clothes I'm going with 3d my golden rule is if it's in the 30s it's three layers minimum like I said to top it off I have this leather coat that kind of cuts off mid thigh um so it does give like a weird

form that's why I would pair it with like a flare out jeans not skinny jeans because it'll make you look kind of like bigger up top and if you wear flare jeans it will kind of balance out the look the next type of outfit is basically consisted of

like a bunch of basics so really if you're gonna make an outfit you can use basic basic basic basic and it'll make an outfit but sometimes I like to spice it up and have like a statement piece for this first one I'm gonna take a basic gray hoodie

and just to kind of give it like more effort I would take the bottom half and like tuck it into my bra and then I'm gonna layer on this top inclined jean I would say jean jacket but this kind of gives me like flannel vibes but it's not

anything that's our size this is like a street where I look so oversized like guy clothes really look good with this so I have these adidas chunky dad sneakers these are at the Falcons I believe and mine have the little gold detailing so yeah basically as you can

see half of these are all menswear but you know girls can work it too and then to finish off and accessorize which I always forget to accessorize my looks have these little hoop earrings just kind of give it a Haley Baldwin sort of vibe you know like I'm

gonna take a white button-up shirt and this one's kind of oversized on me so I would take this and then a really big oversized sweater and put this under to where the collar and the sleeves kind of hang out of the shirt give you like a really preppy

school girl vibe and your legs are hanging out so wear some tights or leggings or whatever and to finish it off I would probably put on like a red beanie or something I don't know I love beanies any time I can wear a beanie I'll wear be me

the shoes for this outfit I chose a dad sneaker with like some high socks just because it does come up like really short kind of like a mini dress that's a lot of leg especially for New York City so I would choose really high socks that go up

to like my ankles or something alright so for this next outfit I'm gonna take the same white button-up shirt and I'm gonna leave like the top a little bit open just because I'm just getting to listen whatever and I'm gonna tuck it into some light wash straight legged

pants I took this sort of pattern blazer as my statement piece so we have two basics and then like I said the statement which is probably my favorite combination and it's the easiest to do and my favorite part of this whole look is definitely the white booties that

these are some cowboy boots so what I'll do is I'll take the pant leg and tuck these in there so they'll kind of look just like this so these look modern these look western so for the next look I have a plain grey dress with like a turtleneck

to give it a little more detailing really any color will work like I said the basic pieces are what make your outfit so white gray beige 10 literally any of those to go with the dress I will have a little blazer and I just have a simple black

one this is kind of like a basic splash statement piece just because this is like the main part of the outfit I would say I could really even use this one um personally I just kind of like the black look so yeah any Blazers should work for a

basic piece for shoes I have these really high knee booties can't even fit them all yeah you can tell that pretty high um and I was wear these just because it's such a simple outfit I feel like these would dress them up a little and then to accessorize

this look since it is so plain y'all can kind of see I probably add some chains or just some big hoop earrings but for the last look I have on this turtleneck the same one from the skirt outfit and some blue skinny jeans which basic basic and then

we're gonna add all the trenchcoat then I got from Goodwill just to kind of give it a little more and also because I'm gonna be freezing my ass off and then with a little hat this is a cute bucket hat that I had when I was like 2

years old and still fits and then I don't like my bag I might change the chain up a bit just to give it a more girly vibe but yeah I think this is all brown and it see how this is a little hat on in the jacket and

then to finish it off and get a pair with these dad chunky sneakers because this hat is the only thing I have that's white and I feel like these shoes would really complement a look because it's kind of true we're kind of not thank you guys so much

for watching I hope you guys enjoyed it if you did give it a thumbs up and comment down below which outfit is your fav because took me forever to put these together so I hope you guys enjoyed it and I will see you in the next video

service dogs save lives but the lack of regulation hurts the people who need them most some so-called trainers sell dogs for tens of thousands of dollars USA Today recently reported on an untrained dog that Malda families other pets and many people pretend pets are service dogs so they

can bring them on planes or to the movie theater hi I'm Nick Tom Morello a student at Point Park University today we learn more about service dogs from Elaine Houston and her dog oak the third this is look who's here all abilities Media the program's featured host is

marks title today's episode was shot at our schools Center for Media innovation Elayne can you talk about what hope does for you start with time explaining him as my hands of my feet some examples of things he can do is he can pick up dropped objects such as

my cell phone or my keys he can open and close doors and cabinets he can speak for help or bark to get attention if I can't call out to somebody and be heard and he also helps me get dressed and undressed so things like taking off sweatshirts shirts

socks and pants he thinks it's the greatest thing in the world to be able to help take off things or help me do things that may just be difficult you have shown schoolchildren what hope does with our demonstration could you're on that through for us so we kind

of demonstrate a couple different tasks that oak is able to do for me out closer okay tug release okay hug release okay come on hey okay your step give because even while it seems like I'm just kind of cuddling him right now this is what he works for

this is what he lives for his moments like this where he gets a chance to come say hello and cuddle and he works for love that's his currency so that's how he earns his paycheck every day so off most people know you're not supposed to interact with another

person's service dog talk about why the dog is attempting to do a job and the best comparison i can give to it is say a blue-collar worker you're not going to run up behind some but two construction guys carrying a sheet of plywood and scrip tickle them on

their sides that's just not an acceptable thing but it really is a major distraction for these dogs Elaine you have a Facebook page specifically for hook the third what kinds of information can people find on that page so on this page you can find kind of the examples

of some of the data adventures which might be as mundane as going to the grocery store or as crazy exciting for him as going to the circus and seeing the animal acts and all the craziness that happens at a circus and so that's just some of the types

of things that are more personalized to him but there's also things like what is a service dog and what's the difference between a service dog an emotional support animal and a therapy dog because they're two three different categories of animals and they do very different jobs and some

of it is also very different in their training and what they're taught to do as well how do you feel about people faking this service dog status people faking a service dog status or showing and trying to say that their pet is a service dog is extremely extremely

frustrating and it is a huge issue that compromises the safety of people with disabilities work with their dogs and it's also misrepresenting all of our hard work that they don't understand how much goes in to making a service dog a service dog that it's not that I just

put a vest in oak one day and said let's take him to the mall no it took years to get where we are and it's still ongoing it never ends and so I really do support the legislation and trying to put consequences to these actions but I have

some concerns about it just because of how enforceable is it how do you prove who's a real service dog versus who isn't because there is no standard certification or registration well you'll see them all over the internet they're all really just money making scams and unfortunately a lot

of people who even have or no train service dogs may fall for this but my concern also is how does this affect individuals who've gotten their dogs from organizations versus those who've trained their own dogs because under the ADEA you are able to train your own dog to

be a service dog it doesn't make a differentiation and where they're trained the only standard is they're trained to do a specific task to mitigate your disability as defined by the ADEA and so that disability may not be something that's fully visible either it may be something that

is completely invisible and is not obvious what that dog is doing and so that's my concern that some people may misunderstand and think that a dog who's doing a job for an invisible disability is thereby faking it when in fact those dogs really are needed to do that

job have you experienced people questioning your need for Adan or blocking access I have definitely experienced some challenges of gaining access to a variety of places though one of the major ones is misunderstandings in the medical environment and having challenges either getting back to a friend in the

ER who needs me there to help her and help communicate for her and also support her service dog as well or being able to get access to a medical test where they actually told me I had a choice between having human assistance or having my dog and I

was told that I could leave my dog out in the hallway and my friend could leave her dog in the hallway as well and that in and of itself presents a huge number of problems because what are we gonna do with two dogs in the hallway with no

supervision it's like leaving two preschoolers loose in the hallway without an adult things can kind of get a lot really messy quickly so that's been definitely one of my big access barriers but almost a bigger one that I've experienced while not in regards to oak because I at

least have it a little bit easier given that my disability is very apparent and that oak looks like what people think a service dog should look like thanks so much for being on look who's here all abilities media check out look who's here dot o-r-g for more episodes

and so you can find oak on face book at oak Roman numeral three a CCI service dog [Music]

Hi guys, I hope all is well.

Things are getting a littlebit festive up in here.

If you can't wear sparklesin the winter months when can you wear sparkle? I've actually had this cardigan for ages.

It's from Topshop but Ijust wanted to wear it today 'cause it's just so jazzy.

Today I'm gonna be makingmy fashion favorites video, I'm super excited about this one.

Like I said in a lotof videos over the last kind of like month, really, really likewinter and autumn fashion.

I feel like it gives me more flexibility to play with the kindof things that I like.

For example, I likesequins, I like faux fur, like like lots of texturedthings, I love jumpers so I've generally been really excited and really inspired by fashion recently, much more so than I was over the summer.

I feel like over the summermy style kind of floundered and I wasn't really surewhat I wanted to wear or how I wanted to dress.

But now I'm back on it and everything's kind of like slipping back into place.

So I'm just gonna showyou some of the outfits and some of the clothingitems I wore last month that I really, really enjoyed wearing and hopefully they mightinspire you a little bit.

So we'll start with this jumper.

This is an off-the-shoulderor like one-shoulder knitted jumper from Boohoo.

I actually wore this in a video.

The necklace is actually on my desk still.

But basically I wore thisjumper with this necklace in a video, I think it wasmy Topshop fail haul video and I just love the look, like it looked really cool.

I'm reaching for thisjumper a lot recently, especially when I reallydon't know what to wear.

I've just been wearing it witha pair of plain black jeans or a pair of jeans with like embroideredpatches on or something.

It's just a really simpleand very, very basic item but it looks really cooland like the low scoop neck means I can wear like some of my bigger, more exaggerated chokers.

Honestly though, it's notthe best quality wise.

It's very thin, kind ofa little bit scratchy.

It attracts lint and dustlike there's no tomorrow.

My favorite way to wear this jumper is with a pair of blackjeans, my Chanel espadrilles which I should reallyfeature in a favorites video but I haven't before, and my blue denim jacket.

It's a really basic outfit butlike my current go-to outfit.

If someone's like, “Let's go out, ” I'm like, “Okay, I'll wear that.

” Next we have this Metallica T shirt which I got from Bershka.

This was featured in myautumn Westfield haul.

I know I kind of shaded Metallica, I'm actually shadingMetallica of all things.

But I feel like I shaded them by saying that they licensed theirname to a lot of things.

But I do think it's a good thing because I do get to have things that I feel are way moreflattering on my figure and my body than standard black T shirts that you tend to getlike at gigs and stuff.

But like with unisex Tshirts they often don't fall in the right places and women's T shirts or band T shirts are always those horrible skin-tight, tight things.

I don't like that either.

It's a kind of oversized boxy fit.

I love this like metallic Metallica logo.

Quality of this T shirt is insane.

It's so soft and really flattering.

I've washed it and it stillhas retained it's shape really, really well and I, yeah, big fan of this T shirt.

Next thing is this long paisley print, yeah, paisley print kimono.

It kind of reminds me of likeold-fashioned wall paper.

When I bought this Ireally didn't like it.

I don't know why I put it in my Asos bag just to forget about it and return and then one day I waslike, “I'm gonna try it on.

” And then I was like, “I love it.

” I don't know what it is about it.

I think it's really ugly, like super ugly.

It's an ugly color, really ugly print, but there is somethingabout it that I love.

It's long, silky kimono duster coat.

I got it in the sale on Asos.

It was a very much impulse purchase but I really enjoyed wearingit and I don't know why.

It's definitely different fromwhat I would normally pick.

It just really lookslike old, ugly wallpaper.

Next is this Topshop Boutique jumper.

I had this for quite awhile and then I wore it a couple of weeks ago and I was just like, oh my god, I forgot how much I like this.

Blue, gray, and whitestripes kind of ribbed top.

It's from Topshop Boutiquemaybe a couple of years ago.

I like the multitonal stripes on it and then I really like the cuff details, like the cuffs are black.

The bottom is also black and I just think it addsa really nice contrast.

It's a super basic jumper but I feel like it has something about it that's quite unique.

Next I this coat and ifyou follow me on Instagram you've probably seen me talk about this or harp on about this.

I've worn it in a few videos.

This is my faux fur fox colored coat.

Colored, not fox fur.

It's orange, I never thoughtorange would be my color but it works so, so well and it actually inspiredmy new Instagram theme, as lame as that sounds.

There was just something about this that when I saw it I fell in love with it.

And I didn't expect tolike it as much as I did.

I thought I was gonna like the other coat that I ordered when I ordered this so I ordered a green oneand then I ordered this one but this was the one I endedup falling in love with.

It's a very 60's, 70's oversized coat.

It's so freakin' soft.

Like it's honestly oneof the softest fur coats I've ever like, I feel like I should do an ASMR video of just me stroking itbecause it's just so, it's just so satisfying andit feels like a douvet cover.

If I had a blanket made out of this fur I'd put it straight on my bed.

It's just absolutely stunning.

I think it's reallystatement and really amazing and just so soft.

Honest to god, like I said, I could make a whole video of me just stroking it'cause it's just amazing.

Shoe wise, I've been reallyinto these patent black boots.

These are from Asos, I said Office but they're notfrom Office they're from Asos.

I'm pretty sure I got these acouple of years ago as well.

They're just a pair of black patent boots.

Got a little bit of lipstick on there.

You know me, always professional.

I found these in the back of my cupboard in my shoe cupboard and I was just like, “Why did I stop wearing these? “These are awesome.

” I never know how to hold shoes in videos 'cause obviously I've worn these a lot so I don't wanna like touch the bottom but I guess I'll washmy hands after anyway.

The patent finish adds like alittle bit of something extra or something different to them.

They're a really nice winter boot.

I feel like a lot of the bootsthat have come out this year have very like big and exaggerated heels which isn't really my thing.

I don't like boots that are very high.

Realistically, this is about as high as the boots that I wear go.

One of the outfits that I wore recently was that orange coat, that Metallica T shirt, black jeans, and then these boots.

I also really like thispink huge bobble hat.

I love the color.

It's just a really nice salmon pink.

Pink is having a big moment right now and a lot of things are coming in pink.

Like it's a very trending color and this is like an easy wayto add pink into your wardrobe if you weren't really sure.

I also bought this hatin like a mustard color but I think this pink one is definitely my favorite of the two.

I do love a good chunky bobble hat and this like bobble on top islike so satisfying to squeeze it's a bit like a stressball or something.

I think this is the last item but I've probably forgotten something.

I always tend to miss outitems in these videos.

But I've been really into this baker boy train drive hat type thing.

It's covered in fur though.

I really liked the look ofthis hat on other people for a really long time but hen I had long hairit just didn't look right.

Like it just looked really weird but I feel like it suits myshorter hair much better.

The hat looks cooler as well because my hair looks so much thicker because it's shorter.

It just looks better.

I never thought I wouldlike this hat on me.

I have tried it before in the past and I was like, no.

And I bought it on a whim Iended up falling in love with it and I'm super happy with it.

It's very tight though.

Like if you have a big head, I wouldn't even say I have a big head.

I would say I have a normal size head but it's very tight like as you can see.

I do have to like squishit on a little bit so it's a bit of a pain in the butt.

So yeah, those are my fashion favorites for the last month of October.

Everything that I can findthat's like still around I will link in the bottom bar so you guys can shop it if youwere interested in anything.

isthe color oxblood and I have been loving these pieces and hopefully you can seewhy they're kind of basic pieces that I can style in so many different ways sotoday I have this scarf that has a hint of that oxblood color in it it sort ofsoftens the outfit and

gives it some interest with a little bit of patternand then the cowgirl boots are kind of the star of the show having this simplecolor palette just really highlights those and then of course my Teddy Blakebag I think looks really cute with my boots it is a neutral piece

but it'svery classic looking very pretty and elegant and can be worn with a casualoutfit like today or something dressier so I love thisis my favorite accessory as I've said and I'm loving the way it coordinateswith my outfits so today is a little bit chilly outside once again and

I'm lovingthis sweater because it's so warm and cozy but it's light and not restrictingat all and I just love the feel of the cashmere against my skin but I can runout and do the errands that I need to do do the things I need to do around homeand

feel presentable and elegant even though it's just a regular day sotoday's outfit is the Ann Taylor blouse and I have it with my skinny jeans thatcome from the Banana Republic and as you can see I have my boots and that is whatI love about skinny jeans they just

make wearing boots so easy and effortless andI think they just look very sleek with boots as our weather typically is herein the wintertime in Texas I have a very chilly morning therefore I have thecardigan sweater but the afternoon will warm up and so I can easily take thisoff

and be ready for a nice warm afternoon and be completely comfortableand I have just sort of your typical day I am going to be running some errandstaking Payton where he needs to go doing some office work and some houseworkmaybe some filming and this outfit will be perfect for

that and yet I still lookcompletely appropriate for going out if I were to get a call from Patrick sayingwe're going out to dinner tonight I wouldn't need to change if somebodydropped in today I'd feel completely presentable so I am enjoying this lookand it is also very comfortable whether

it's chilly outside or warm so that isthe outfit for today today I am wearing my white silk blouse from LillySilkmy Loft wide leg trousers in black I am planning to go out to dinner tonightso I threw on this scarf to give me a little bit of warmth

but also to dressit up even more of course I won't wear this during theday I'm just going to wear the blouse and the pants I have some little kittenheels on I can also wear flats more black ankle boots that I also have butif I plan on doing any

cleaning or cooking I can just put an apron on overthis it's a very comfortable very appropriate for at home but it can alsobe dressed up and that's what I'm going to be doing with this outfit tonight soI'll show you one other look I'm just switching out the scarf

to change it upsomething that I might wear for another evening or for a day look as well Icould do a variety of different things with scarves to change this look orjewelry as well today I am wearing my navy Loft blousealong with my Mott & Bow jeans and a

pair of white sneakers and I have veryminimal jewelry I just have on some earrings it is just a casual day at homeit's quite warm outside we've been spending time outside walking and thingslike that so I just wanted to feel comfortable and cool and there is noneed for a

scarf jacket sweater or anything like that today the temperaturewill be dropping tomorrow so tomorrow will be a different story so I'm verygrateful for having some items like this that are very breezy and cool whenthey're all by themselves but can be used as great layering pieces when it'scolder outside

today I have on my Loft blouse in the cream color with theembroidery detail it's got the puffy sleeves which are disguised underneathmy cardigan that this cardigan is also from the Loft I've had this for manyyears there actually I believe it's from the Gap and I have on my

skinny jeansfrom Banana Republic and they're in the dark blue wash with my riding boots thisis perfect for today it's very gray and rainy and cold so I can put the sweateron and feel really comfortable but if it were a much warmer day I could take itoff and this

would be perfectly suitable to for a little bit warmer weather sothat's basically it for today's outfit I've got on my Noonday earrings and Ireally love wearing these when I have my hair in a ponytail and I don't reallyhave any other jewelry other than that just a simple little

gold necklace soit's just casual but yet I feel very comfortable ready for anythingperfectly suitable if I wanted to go out to a restaurant or shopping or anythinglike that as well so that's today's outfit today I am once again wearing myMott & Bow cashmere v-neck sweater in the oxblood

colorand I am just loving this especially for the Christmas season it just seems to bethe perfect color and then today I am wearing it with my Bowden skirt and it'sgot this little tie detail on the front so I did a little front tuck of thesweater so I could

expose that and I am wearing my riding boots the reason why Iam a little bit more dressed up today is because I was meeting some of my friendsat church for a lunch sort of a ladies get together for our Bible study it'sthe perfect thing to wear today because

it's very cold outside and very windyand so I am enjoying this nice cozy sweater and my skirt is fully lined andwith the boots I am very warm and when I was outside Ijust wore my trench coat for jewelry I just have all of the pieces from AnnaLuisa I

have some earrings and necklace and a little cuff bracelet so you knowjust keeping that rather simple but elegant I really love the combination ofthis color along with the Navy and also just having the sweater along with theskirt it's been a really cozy comfortable thing to wear on a

coldwinter day and I feel festive for Christmas as well and so that'll be itfor the outfits of the week this week if you guys like videos like this let meknow by giving me a thumbs up or leaving me a comment if you like to see morevideos like this

let me know that too I would love to do more and I know youguys have had several questions to me lately about the difference betweenextras as far as like blouses and sweaters and Jennifer would really bethe authority on that but in my mind I think it's the type

of top that you wearmost often on a daily basis so if you live in a very cold place maybe sweaterswould be something you would put into your core items but if you live in awarm climate like I do blouses work better and then sweaters are a littlemore supplemental

like I wouldn't necessarily wear a sweater every day soI would keep those in my extras and lots my extra sweaters are things likecardigans or even a sweater like this that I could layer over top of one ofthe blouses that I have if you primarily wear blouses and usesweaters

like that then I would consider them extras but if you are wearing asweater every single day then maybe that's the thing that you would want tochoose as your core item but there's no really you know hard fast rules when itcomes to the 10-item wardrobe you make it your

own so don't get caught up in onthose sorts of things just have a rough idea in your head about you know thepieces that you wear on a daily basis would be more your core items and thingsthat you use to supplement those would be considered extras thank you guys
