Outfits Not Just Clothes

If you are a lover of all things fall, like me, then I'm sure you're excited for sweater vest season. Similar to sweater weather, the vest season comes both in the autumn as well as spring, seen here . Sweater vests act as transitional pieces, as well as gateways into full sweater-dom for fall, while helping us peel off the chunky sweaters of winter-to-spring.  bodysuit-Gap(similarish here  but most similar here ), sweater vest- Banana Republic Factory , culottes--Mango(similarish here ), sunnies--Coach via Groupon , earrings- Amazon , kerchief-- Esty Seller Indian Cotton Aura , bag- Everlane , pin-Michael's(similar and even more progressive here ), boots--Marc Fisher via DSW , ring--this past year's Yart Sale And yes, if you look closely I am wearing one black compression sock and one navy, which means there's probably ANOTHER pairing of black and navy socks that I'll have to find in a sock drawer clean out.

Jumpsuit- Imbohi , shirt- Gap , sneakers- Vans Should a redhead of my shade wear orange? Perhaps, but not this orange and not this dress. The armholes on this J.Crew dress were too tight.  I've been thinking about caftans and big tent dresses for around the house. This one had pockets! And it went into the maybe pile, just about made it to the yes pile, but ultimately did not get.  Another tight arm hole and overall tight across the bust.  LOVE this look of boy plaid with boy pants. I wasn't in the market for pants, but needed something to try on with shirts. Pants are originally men's from Everlane . Found this luscious grandpa sweater originally fr...
