Fall Fashion: black leggings.

Happy fall! We are finally getting some colder weather here, so I thought I would share some of my go-to fall outfits. I love to wear black leggings and here are some options to wear with them.


The first option is a yellow cardigan from Walmart, of all places, black tee from Victoria's Secret Pink, and a leopard print scarf from JC Penney. This is extra comfortable and warm for those cold, rainy fall days.

The second option is a navy and periwinkle leopard print blouse from Franscesca's paired with a light grey cardigan from GAP. This is my absolute favorite cardigan!

The third option is a chambray button-up from Old Navy. It was pretty cheap and so versatile. Sometimes I pair it with a colorful tank underneath or a scarf, but I honestly just like it by itself.

The fourth option is an extra long tee from Target. It is a little longer in the back, which makes it absolutely perfect with leggings. I put a dark charcoal military-style jacket from Target over it. This is lightweight but warm.

Obviously I wear more than leggings, but they are what I find myself reaching for the most in the fall. They pair perfect with Ugg boots, flats, or converse. What do you like to pair with black leggings?

Empty product review

Hello everyone. Happy fall 🍃 I hope everyone is doing well. I have been saving empty product containers to do a review for you. Here they are.
These are the ones that I saved packaging from. I didn't want to save shriveled up toothpaste tubes and deodorant containers. Secret Clinical Strength is my favorite, as you can see, I always repurchase it. I like the disposable Venus razors because they are cheap and work great. I always repurchase the cotton rounds from Target because they do not fall apart like some store brands. The Creat 3D white toothpaste, my husband and I share and always repurchase. This was the first time I had tried the Sephora make up remover cloths. They remove makeup thoroughly and would repurchase but I have not yet. This Oral B floss is my favorite. However, Target was out of it and I bought something else, which I really regret. 

These are a few recurrent products. I use the Aveeno brightening face wash every morning in the shower with my Clarisonic. It is cleansing but gentle. The Opti-Free Replenish is also a favorite, it cleanses and is gentle on my sensitive eyes. I love the Tresemme Thermal Creations and repurchase it every time I use it up. The top broke after I dropped it in the floor. I always buy coconut oil to shave my legs with. I have a hard time finding it, so I buy whatever brand is available. I really like the Sephora cleansing water. It removes all my makeup- even eye makeup, easily.

I have already repurchase the Tone body wash because the scent is nice and it is moisturizing. Here are a few Bath & Body Works travel size shower gels. I got them with free coupons! I always like them. I always repurchase the Bath & Body Works foaming hand wash too. The John Frieda Frizz Ease shampoo is something I always repurchase. It keeps my thick, tangly hair in check. 

I like the Sephora primer but I wanted to use up what I have before rebuying. I love love love the Ole Hendriksen truth serum, but it is crazy over-priced. I love the fresh lip treatment as well, and scraped every last bit out of it. I'm forcing myself to use up other lip balms before repurchasing. I liked the Josie Maran hair serum but haven't bought it again. The other products are not jumping out at me to rebuy. 
These charcoal face wash samples were nice to try out. The Biore was extremely drying but the Garnier was something I'm thinking about picking up. The pink plastic bottle was homemade eye makeup remover. I thought I really liked I, until I tried the Sephora cleansing water. The Jergens Shea Butter smelled nice. I cut it in half to scrape out what the pump couldn't reach. 

I know that in my last blog post I raved about this dry shampoo. I need to remove that statement. The top is now clogged and nothing will come out, even though I have half a bottle left. I have run it under hot water and tried to unclog with a toothpick. Air will not even come out, which is a shame because I liked the dry shampoo. 

I hope my reviews helped you. I post these, thinking that you might want to know about products before you buy them. Do you have any product recommendations? 

*i purchased these products with my own money, unless otherwise stated (free samples). I gave my honest & unpaid opinion.
