How To Style a Graphic Tee For Fall
Happy Friday, gang! Another crazy week has come and gone, and I haven’t even had time to think about packing for Paris. It’s been one appointment after another since the trees came tumbling down last week, along with power and internet. I’m up and running again, but in the interim, I leased a new car (Subaru Forester), had a dermatologist appointment, box springs for a new bed were delivered, a car inspection for the VW Tiguan, then a mad dash to Sephora and turning the VW into the dealership now located in Stone Mountain, Georgia. Phew! And I had to sneak in work in between all the appointments.
I have to admit I don’t miss big city life when it comes to traffic. It took me sixty minutes to drive sixteen miles on Thursday… The distance between The Georgia Mall and the Volkswagon dealership. Zipping around Athens can be challenging at times, especially on game days, but if you don’t have to head to Sanford Stadium on Saturday afternoon, the rest of the town is pretty quiet and has minimal traffic. But Atlanta and the surrounding areas are quite another story. I love to bop down to the Big Peach any chance I get, but I’m always happy to come home. Traffic, traffic, and more traffic…
But I digress. It’s Friday, y’all, and Oscar is here for his weekly gig. As a matter of fact he turns eight this month! I can’t believe he’s been by my side for nearly eight years! I grabbed a couple of photos from his puppy days. Let’s wish the best German Shepherd ever a very happy birthday!
Finally, I've got a fun outfit for you today: I'm showing you how to style a graphic tee for Fall. Since France is on my radar screen, champagne comes to mind. So I’m serving a bubbly cocktail that’s easy to make this week. And a yummy Instant Pot chili perfect for the weekend. Come on in and sit awhile.
The Summary
 Today, I'm showing you how to style a graphic tee for Fall
 I've modeled my shirt and styled it in two different ways
 Everything I'm modeling is shoppable via text- and image-based widgets

1 1/2 cups corn canned or frozen
14 oz can red kidney beans rinsed and drained

Instructions
On Instant Pot, press Sauté and let appliance preheat until the display says Hot.
Swirl a bit of oil to coat, add ground turkey and cook for 4 minutes, breaking into small pieces with a spatula often. Meat doesn’t have to cook through.
If you see the bottom of the pot has stuck browned bits of meat, add 1/2 cup broth and deglaze the pot. If not – then it’s fine.
Press Cancel and add remaining 1/2 cup (if deglazed) or 1 cup broth.
Add onion, garlic, bell pepper, corn, beans, chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, salt, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste.
Close the lid, set pressure vent to Sealing, and press Pressure Cook on High or Manual for 15 minutes.
After release pressure using Quick Release by turning pressure valve to Venting position, which takes 2-3 minutes.
Open the lid, stir and serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Wasn’t he the cutest puppy?! Thanks for stopping by.
Happy Birthday Oscar!
Thanks, Lisa!
Happy Birthday, Oscar!🎉 Love the old photos that you posted. I hear you about traffic….. I try to go the back routes to avoid it. Great write-up today….hope you can relax this weekend ❤️
Those back routes are time savers! Cheers to the weekend! I’m so glad it’s here.
German Shepherds were my dad’s favorite breed of dog. Such loyal companions. Happy Birthday Oscar!
I can’t say enough good things about German Shepherds! Thanks for stopping by.
Happy Birthday Oscar!🎉🎂 I actually subscribed so that I could see more of Oscar after coming across one of his puppy pictures.🥰 Always look forward to Friday’s post so that I can see him (and Ollie too).
That is so sweet! Thanks for sharing.
Wow what a week!,
Happy Birthday, Oscar!, What cute pictures.
Wasn’t he the cutest puppy?!
Happy Birthday Oscar!!!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday Oscar!!! Have a great day.
Thanks, Jamie!
Happy Birthday, Oscar! He shares his with my husband 🙂
Look forward to trying your cocktail!
I’ve been on a Campari kick lately so couldn’t resist this one with Prosecco!
Happy Birthday, Oscar, from me and my three rescues! Doggie birthdays are so very special. I love the graphic tee idea, but my wardrobe does not have any, so maybe I should shop for one.
I am a big fan of graphic tees. Try one on for size. J. Crew and J.Crew Factory typically stock graphic tees and they’re fairly inexpensive.
Happy Birthday Oscar! You were so cute and adora ble when you were a puppy. Now you are so handsome.
I have the sweater blazer from J Crew. Thanks for showing 3 more ways to wear it. I don’t think I would have thought of a graphic tee. I wish the pants you showed in the 3rd outfit were not wool. I am allergic to wool. Any other idea one pants to wear instead of the wool ones?
Happy Birthday to sweet Oscar.
I live in San Diego and often work in LA.
I do not understand that Tshirt.
What is Bing?
On first glance I am not thinking this would be popular in our neck of the words.
Bing is a search engine, no? or drug slang? Looks political. What am I missing?
The designer is named Anine Bing. It’s a brand that’s located in Los Angeles. No meaning other than her name.
I recently purchased pants from J.McLaughlin that are rayon and nylon. Love the fit, and they’re very comfy too. Here’s a link: https://rstyle.me/+iGOxQko6AUUAU0Had4WaOA
Happy Birthday,Oscar!🎉 What an adorable puppy you were! Thanks for sharing those pics. Have a restful weekend!
Thanks Nancy! You too!
Another Happy Birthday to Oscar!
He is such a handsome boy and you are so lucky to have him. Hope you both have a lovely day!
Thanks, Sandy! I am so blessed to have Oscar by my side.
We have had German Shepherds the entire 49 years of our marriage. Best breed ever! Although I love a sweet Rotti.
They are the BEST breed. So loving and loyal. But then you know that!
Hi Beth, Wishing Oscar a Happy birthday, I bet he is being spoilt with treats xx
He is definitely being spoiled!
Happy Birthday Oscar!! You are a very handsome guy and were the cutest puppy. đź’• I live for Fridays to see you. You make me smile. Thank you.
Hugs,
Susan in Wisconsin
