This Twig & Arrow scarf is gorgeous in person (and SO soft), goes nicely with my sweater dress from Scoop (I plan to also wear this is a tunic with leggings or skinny jeans!) Would make a great gift and the recipient will think you paid more! The sweater dress fits true to size (I'm wearing small here) and is soft and comfy. Check out the rest of the Twig & Arrow stuff too - including this poncho that I posted about a couple weeks ago, (see my pics here.) 

Booties are by Brinley Co. and are vegan! They run slightly big I'd say. They come in several colors here.


I also picked up this cute fleece shown below (true to size or go up one if you are in between sizes at all) for under $20!!! Check out more affordable fashion finds in Walmart's Holiday Fashion Edit, here.

Colder Weather Carter's Finds (up to Size 14!)

Did you know... Carter's isn't just for little kids... they make kids clothes up to size 14!!! Yes! Plus you can combine in one cart with OshKosh (also sizes up to 14) to hit the $35+ threshold and get free shipping! Check out their cute holiday outfits and holiday pajamas!!!

My son loved the 4-in-1 Winter coat pictured above. I would say the 4-in-1 coats run somewhat small. Chase is usually a large 12 and he's wearing a 14, which fits perfectly.


I like it when the boys are coordinated without exactly matching, and I loved the turquoise tones in these soft flannel shirts. I would say go one size UP on these - both boys are wearing size 14 here. (Alex has his sleeves cuffed up, Chase does not.)


Alex (left) is wearing 5-pocket skinny jeans. Chase (right) has on the Pull-on Denim Pants. (Those come in toddler sizes too.) In both cases I'd say they run long and we found the pull-ons to be a little skinnier than the skinny jeans! Plus... I love that they pull on so no spending time fiddling with buttons. They are both wearing their regular sizes (14 and 12 respectively) and both have some room to grow into in the length.


My big footed boys now wear men's shoes, BUT if you have a child who is still size 3Y and under, definitely check out the adorable shoes to finish off your look!

Seriously you need this poncho in your life if you live where it's cold like I do. It is gorgeous, warm, super soft, thick and on top of that it's under $20 (!!!!) Yes! If you prefer more neutral colors, my poncho is also here in black and tan. Lots more great, affordable Fall fashion at Walmart, including holiday family pajamas!

The interior of the poncho has a nice grey/blue contrasting pattern which you can see below. SO soft!!! More blanket scarves from the same brand (Twig & Arrow) here. 


The grey sweater I'm wearing is also really cute and comfortable, by Sofía Vergara, here. Jeans are also by Sofía and are here. (If you prefer classic denim to the grey get these instead.) Boots are here (in the color shown and also black) and run true to size.
