Fall Basics



As much as I love trying fashion-forward trends like print mixing, exaggerated shapes & edgy textures, there is something about basic pieces put together in a simple & unfussy way that always looks right.  A classic combination like this silk blouse, leopard scarf & blazer is my go-to outfit for days (like today) when I’m heading to help out at school & need something that’s comfortable & polished without being over-the-top.





What I’m wearing:
J. Crew blouse (similar), Forever 21 blazer (here), Banana Republic scarf (similar here or here), Levi’s jeans (on sale here), Colin Stuart boots (via eBay; similar here or here), Vintage bracelets, Lips: CoverGirl Blast Flipstick Smooch

    No sunglasses today? JK! Very cute. So weir, I wore orange and leopard yesterday. It's just such a lovely color combination!
    I think you must be better dressed than some of the teachers at the school when you are helping out!

    I love those jeans! I always click on your link whenever you wear those jeans in an outfit post. It looks like they're unavailable in Macy stores near me so I really want to order them online. Could you tell me (size wise) if they run big or small? Thanks!

    Hi Lynda, yes I would say they run true to size – it is junior's sizing & I usually wear a 6 in women's…so the juniors size 9 fits me perfectly. Hope that helps – they are without a doubt my favorite (& most flattering) jeans! 🙂

    I've just started reading your blog (after discovering it in Lucky magazine) and am already addicted. Your classy, up-to-date styles and pairings inspire me to take a second look in my closet for similar looks. And to add to this great inspiration, your outfits cost $100 max not $3000!!
    Have already sent the link to your site to many girlfriends and have added it to my Bookmarks menu bar.
