Rules, Shmules...

So I have a confession. I am such a cheapo that I had been holding off buying any clothes (other than my thrift store finds) for the last few months because I knew once labor day hit everything would go on super sale. I went the whole summer lusting over a classic pair of white skinny jeans and finally caved when they were on super sale at Old Navy. They were 30% off, plus I bought them through Ebates which gave me an additional 5% cash back. So all in all, I was at $23ish all in. Yep, I am that cheap...

 

Here is the dilemma, I ordered them with enough time to wear them at least once before the "no white after labor day" deadline, but I was a dumb butt and entered the wrong shipping zip code on my order. So it was no surprise that when my delivery date came and went, Old Navy customer service said "No problem, we will reship those to you but please allow 9 to 12 business days for redelivery." Poops:(

 

Then after some inner reflection and realizing that this was serious #firstworldproblems, I decided,  "Skrew it!" I am wearing these suckers as long as I want. So sue me! I totally think that white pants can be transitioned into a fall look with no problemo.

 

Here are a few looks that I pulled together to demonstrate that I am thinking for my white skinnys this season.

 Jeans / Sweater / Jacket / Scarf / Bag / Boots

Jeans / Sweater / Trench / Bag / Shoes

Sneak Peek into KFD

Quick sneak peek into what is coming up this fall at Katie Fobes Design on Etsy!

 

 

 

Super excited for this new leopard pattern, and I am just deciding what other colors to add to the mix. But I think the most important thing is for me to ask, "What colors do YOU want to see available this fall?"

 

What are you gravitating towards this season when picking your accessories?

 

Going for darker, moodier neutrals? Or are you feeling the bold pops of color to liven up your look?

 

Let me know and I will make it happen!!

Giveaway for Your Gams!

Giveaway time, gals!
 

And I know you are all about the freebies- how can you pass up some good swag?! I am so excited to do my first giveaway of the fall season and this one is pretty good, if I do say so myself :)

 

I have started to dust off my boots in preparation for the first cool day of the season and I realized that mine were desperately missing a little accessorizing. That's when I found the awesomely talented and fashionable Ale of Principessa Panquecitos.

 

 

Ale's hand knit leg warmers are made to order and with lots of love for anyone with a case of chronic calf chilly-willies. She makes them in youth or ladies sizes so you can choose whatever you need this season. You can choose from ten (count 'em TEN!) different colors  and she will whip them up for you before the first leaf hits the ground.

How are you ever going to just choose one?! Your boots will look bare without these babies this year. Check out samples of the colors on Ale's Etsy site Principessa Panquecitos, where she also has knit caps and hair accessories in addition to the adorable leggies.
 

Here's how it works ladies- 

These are the 4 ways you can enter to win:

 

*EVERYONE THAT ENTERS MUST BE A GFC Follower*

 

1. Comment and say "These leggies are legit!" along with what color you want to rock for fall

 

2. Put At Home When Im With You in your Blogroll

 

3.Like At Home When I'm With You on Facebook

 

4. Favorite Principessa Panquecitos on Etsy

 

If you have more than one entry, please let me know ALL IN ONE comment.

 

Good luck ladies!! Winner will be announced one week from today- September 13th. The winner will be contacted immediately and will need to choose their color and size WITHIN 3 DAYS of winning so that the leg warmers can be hand crafted for you right away.


I am feeling pretty special because Ale is swamped with orders and has put direct sales on hold for the next new weeks, but she will be doing the giveaway as a favor to my lovely readers! So can we all give a big "Thank you, Ale!!"

 

 

XOXO Katie

Fall Is In The Air

I was pouting my way back into the office yesterday morning after practically having to be dragged kicking and screaming coming back from Chicago after the long weekend. I hate when vaca comes to an end!

 

But there was one thing that brightened my back-to-the-grind Tuesday...pumpkin flavored coffee has returned to Dunkin Ds!!

That got me thinking about all the yummy flavors that I love about the fall season. Cinnamon, nutmeg, chai spice- oh my! I have a few mainstay pumpkin recipes that I break out once the air starts to get a bit nippy. Here are some of my faves from other sites and you will see plenty of home made goodies here in the near future.
