Top – Banana Republic Silk Cashmere Relaxed Sweater (Burgundy)

Bottom – J. Crew Factory Wool-Blend Mini Skirt (Pink Berry Houndstooth)

Shoes – Blondo Tale Knee High Boots (Black)

Earrings – KatyBell Designs Maple Leafs

I’ve been slacking on lewks but I am trying to get back into it. I recently got this skirt (pink + red and in houndstooth?? I had to have it) and it’s such a great weight and style as the temperature drops. But the whole outfit was actually based around the earrings. Usually I start with shoes or a bottom and plan my outfit up but today I worked down. I’m happy with how it turned out and I still stayed pretty warm considering how much the temperature has dropped.

Top – Gap Long Sleeve Shirt (Black)

Blazer – Tahari Open Jacket (Houndstooth)

Bottom – Loft Trousers (Black)

Shoes – Sarah Flint Rosie (Red Suede)

Back at it with a mirror pic lewk. I wore this blazer over the weekend over a little black dress and I just love it so much I thought I would pull it back out for a bit of pop on an otherwise pretty plain outfit. Houndstooth is probably one of my favorite prints and I just love the way blazer fits. Great and easy, would definitely also wear with jeans!

Top – Ralph Lauren Slim Fit Cotton Oxford Shirt (White) / Eddie Bauer V Neck Sweater (Gray)

Bottom – White House Black Market Comfort Stretch Slim Ankle Pant (Black)

Shoes – Gucci Brixton Loafers (Black)

Hat – Ralph Lauren Cotton Chino Ball Cap (Black / Red Logo)

I need to find a better spot for photos. The lighting is so bad. I don’t love the way this photo looks but I did feel very good in this lewk. I had a lot of walking to do and it was one of those fall days where the weather was all over the place so this fit the bill well. I had my Barbour coat too for when it got cool and the black all over was sharp but casual because of the hat. I think the top part of this lewk would also go great with leggings or a pair of jeans.

Dress – Staud Shoko Colorblock Sweater Dress (Navy/Lilac)

Shoes – A New Day Mules (Gray)

Earrings – Saint Laurent LouLou Chain Tassel

It has been a lovely October so far and since the weather was better than expected I decided to wear this new dress out tonight. I have had my eye on it for probably close to a year and finally pulled the trigger after seeing Monroe Steele rocking it and also seeing all the beautiful new color ways available. It is such a lovely weight knit and much better quality than I had anticipated. I am very happy to have gotten it and I know I will wear it often!

Top – Banana Republic Factory Scoop Neck Bodysuit (Nude)

Bottom – J. Crew Pleated Midi Skirt (Academic Green)

Shoes – Lorna Garden Embroidered Suede Sandals

Belt – Anthropologie Mabel Belt

Earrings – Lulubelle’s Boutique Boozy Champagne Bottle (Party Green)

I wore a similar outfit earlier this year for another nice dinner out (pretty much exactly the same, just a different color bodysuit) but it’s a good one so why not? We went out to celebrate my husband’s birthday and had a wonderful night. I probably should have worn something looser because by the end of twelve course I was busting at the seams! I love this skirt and the color is perfect for a Fall day like today.

Top – Vineyard Vines Gingham Button Down (Navy / White)

Bottom – J. Crew Front-Flap Pocket Skirt in Colorful Gingham (Red / Pink)

Shoes – A New Day Block Heel Sandals (Red)

Excuses the weird photo but it was actually the one I liked most from today. I’m still experimenting with the lights on/off and natural light. This is hallway light on. I came up with this outfit last week but wanted to wear it on a day when I was seeing people because I knew it was going to be a good one. I always like when I have the opportunity to wear this skirt. The colors are so fun and bright! The double gingham worked well and I’m so happy to be mixing prints a bit (well same print, different scale). Will definitely repeat!!

Top – Etsy Claw and Order T Shirt

Bottom – Abercrombie & Fitch Curve Love Ultra High Rise Straight Jeans (Light Wash)

Shoes – Teva Flatform Universal (Black)

Purse – Mansur Gavriel Mini Mini Bucket Bag (Black)

Hat – Ralph Lauren Cotton Chino Ball Cap (Black / Red Logo)

I received this shirt two years ago for my birthday and I think I’ve only worn it once since which is sad because a) sustainability and b) it’s actually really cute and fits better than I remembered. It was perfect for running to the library and going out for dinner. I felt like this lewk was a very Farmer’s Market and a good canvas tote would have been great to complete that but I’m not really a Farmer’s Market kind of person (I sleep in too much) so the leather bag added a bit more edge for me. This was also the first time I wore these jeans and their light weight ensures they’ll be great all year long.

Top – J. Crew Tissue Turtleneck (Gray)

Cardigan – English Factory Gingham Check Cardigan (Rainbow)

Bottom – Banana Republic Factory Wide Leg Trousers (Green)

Shoes – Sarah Flint Rosie (Red Suede)

First day of Autumn and I wanted something bright to bring in the new season. I love this cardigan and thought switching it up with the wide letter pants worked well, especially given the similar greens. Then I used the tie that is normally the pant belt as headband to keep it cohesive. I really like the way I look in black but I just love color and this outfit made me happy.

I’ve set up a camera and tripod so I can get some non-mirror pics so we’ll see how this goes. It’s a little washed out in this picture but hopefully I can play around with it to get a good system going.

Top – Hanes Comfort Tee (White)

Dress – Hill House Home Ellie Nap Dress (Tai Check)

Shoes – Gucci Brixton Loafers (Black)

I just wanted to be cozy today. The shirt underneath was fine but would have worked better if it was tighter and/or a bodysuit. I love this dress so much. Overall a decent lewk but I would tweak it more in the future.

Top – Everlane Cashmere T Shirt (Blush)

Blazer – J. Crew Parke Blazer (Caramel)

Bottom – Banana Republic Factory Mixed Media Jogger Pant (Navy)

Shoes – M. Gemi Scuola 70 MM

I liked the way the shoes pulled this look together. I’m clearly very into these joggers (in all three colors) and like the way the can be dressed up or down. The only thing I’m not loving is this blazer. Which is sad because it’s gorgeous and a great shape and I’m trying to wear blazers more in general. But it’s just not my color. Or maybe I should have worn a brighter pop shirt? Something isn’t working on the top.
