Outfits Not Just Clothes

 I've been really rocking the scarves and kerchiefs here this fall. For this outfit I'm wearing a scarf from my maternal grandmother.  She passed in 2012 so it's a really lovely memory to have and share with my girls. I love the dynamic print with it's light blue and darker contrast with gold chain details.  sweater-Gap(similarish here ), pants-Boden(similarish here ), sunnies--Coach via Groupon , earrings- Amazon , scarf-Vintage, ring-Jewel Mint (more options via Poshmark ), bracelet-homemade, loafers-Anne Klein(similar here ) This will probably be the last wearing of these linen pants this calendar year. The transitional dressing season is coming to an end as we are deep into October with chilly autumnal mornings and temperate afternoons. I haven't fully turned over my closet, but am slowly putting away the warm weather wear for my favorite outfitting season--Autumn!

In the meantime I was all transitional season outfitting with probably the last appearance of my linen pieces mixed with an epic comfy cozy grandpa sweater. sweater-Orvis(similar here ) via Thriftique , shirt-Universal Standard(more options here ), pants- Quince , hat- Gap , sunnies-Coach(similar here ), kerchief- Etsy seller Made by Vikas , necklace- Fable England , bracelet- Slide Jewels , ring-Ana Luisa(similar-ish here )  , socks-Target(?), shoes-Madewell(similar here ), bag- The Frick Pittsburgh This outfit speaks to the forecast as well as the vibes as summer finally gives way to fall. I feel that kerchiefs and this sweater will be a major players in my outfitting game this season. Still rocking my Virgo necklace from the previous post . Besides layers, which are one of the reasons that autumn is such a beloved outfittin...
