Fall Buys!

Autumn is right around the corner, and there's no season I like better than fall! The turning of the weather, the orange-drenched sunsets, the crisp smell in the air, and of course autumnal style is right up my alley!

Soon, I will begin another year-long hiatus from shopping, more to come. So, I've been stocking up on garments for the fall/winter. Here are some of my best finds:

First up, dresses!


What's more fall, than a plaid shift? Loving the color palette of grey and pink, which will transition into winter and early spring of 2017. #stylestrategy


Do I already have several LBDs? Yes, but I don't have a really quality black sweater-dress with pockets. Pockets are key!


This midi-shift is definitely outside my usual style wheelhouse. I'm loving the 30's-esque print and the flared sleeves, I see them poking out of a navy blazer come fall.


Can one have too much plaid? Hell's to the no! This shirtdress-tunic hybrid is giving me 90's teenage nostalgia realness (!!!) and while it's a bit cazh for the office, I see this getting a lot of weekend use with leggings and boots.


And of course, you need a few pairs of trousers:


These are similar to a pair of navy satin culottes I picked up at ridiculous mark-down over the summer. I'm not sure how practical a culotte will be post-October, but I HAVE THEM and I think they'll get some play at a holiday gathering, or two.


I love Gap cords. I have a pair in red, seen here, that are currently hanging tight as my body continues in it's transition towards pre-pregnancy form. In the mean time, I'll have to satiate my need for ribbed pants with this navy, "baby" boot-cut pair.




And of course I've picked up more Uniqlo pull-on pants. These trousers have served me so well. They are comfortable, functional, flattering, and stylish! I, of course, got a pair in plaid, while these bird-printed pants are my poetic swan song to summer. As the birds migrate south leaving behind grey skies, so will my pants signal a fond farewell to the care-away days of summertime. DAMN I LOVE FALL! 



On a practical note:


This crossbody bag is a replacement to one I've had for years that's been falling apart. Seen here.

Blazers are so my jam, and what fall wardrobe would be complete without one? This version is a bit boxy, and I think will pair sickeningly with the bird pants above. Plus, more pockets! 



This pintucked popvoer is a fem alternative to the standard button-downs that I usually sport. Hoping this version will be less gap-prone at the bust than my menswear-inspired shirts have been. Again, body still in transition...the joys of motherhood.... 


And for some fun:


From the men's department, this galaxy-sleeved sweatshirt is so f*cking cool! And fun, and I can't live off plaids, pintucks, and practical pants alone, now can I? What are some of your favorite fall finds?

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set. Here's a referral link to also become an ambassador for discounts ...
