Dressing For Fall

Wearing: Dress Aritzia | Sneakers Nike

While in the past I couldn't imagine an outfit that didn't include a pair of jeans, lately I've been wearing no pants at all. I bought so many skirts and dresses this season and I am loving them so much. Of course jeans will always be a staple in my wardrobe, but I do love the dress/skirt and white sneakers look, so easy and perfect for these fall temperatures.

Embellished Basics

I love a good high neckline. So, obviously this sweater with a neckline that falls somewhere in between a crew neck and a turtleneck is the perfect addition to my wardrobe. And a little peek-a-boo lace hem adds a little embellishment to the everyday uniform of jeans and a sweater. 

K?

I very rarely, in fact almost never, go for bodycon anything. However, every once in a while when I'm feeling crazy I pick up something extremely form-fitting. This skirt is one of those rare purchases. Perhaps influenced by an upcoming trip to Puerto Rico (I bought this back in March or April), I bought this skirt. And while it is a piece in my closet that is a bit out of my comfort zone I really do love the asymmetry, color, and overall look of this skirt. So, for that reason, I decided to take it out for another spin, this time opting for a white tee for a more casual look. (Here's the last time I wore it.) Now I have one last question, since I'm wearing a mid-length asymmetrical bodycon skirt, am I ready to be a Kardashian yet?

Heat Wave

It is freaking hot outside. For me, that means the lightest layers possible, so silky shorts (especially ones with a cute print) and a lightweight tee are the obvious choice. So easy and comfortable for a super hot day. And I believe I've mentioned it before but I swear by these Aritzia Wilfred tees, simply perfect. Then there's the shoes. A definite ridiculous splurge but, oh my god, I'm just in love. Literally the shoes of my dreams, unreal. Ugh, so good. I actually found them in pink on sale while making this post so definitely check that out here.

Vested Interests

These ripped jeans have been on serious repeat lately. Honestly, I'm not exaggerating when I say these may be the comfiest pair of jeans I own. (Well, it's probably a tossup between these and my J Brand stocking jeans) But, obviously to keep them from getting boring I have to switch up the rest of my outfit. I had seen this Elizabeth and James vest/blazer combo online and then just a few weeks later I spotted nearly identical pieces at a sample sale, talk about a total score. I love how both pieces work well together and apart. But I really do love just wearing the sporty little vest, so perfect for spring.  

B&W

When all else fails, sometimes no color palette is the best color palette. Seriously, black and white will never fail to make a great, high-contrast outfit. Plus, you don't have to worry about whether all your items of clothing match or not. So, when I saw this black and white vest and Aritzia I knew I needed it for my spring wardrobe. It is the perfect throw on piece to add that special something to any outfit. And don't even get me started on these shoes. I have been waiting so long to finally get to wear them. A leather slip-on with silver pointed cap-toe, I honestly think they might be one of the coolest pairs of shoes ever made. I'm obsessed. They will also be an item in my closet that can be added to any outfit to give it that extra edge. 

Black & Blue

Back in September I styled this tee as a dress for the warm weather. Now, five months later, I've taken the same amazing tee and winterized it. Long sleeves layered underneath, black jeans, and boots make this outfit way more appropriate for the snowy weather. I really do love both versions of how I styled this tee, it shows how versatile one article of clothing can be. Which is perfect inspiration for getting through the remaining weeks of winter with a wardrobe thats somewhat tired at this point. 

Sequin Season

First of all, I hope everyone had a merry Christmas! I enjoyed a typical Jewish Christmas of movies and then trying to find an open restaurant. (We didn't eat Chinese food though, shocking I know.) I saw American Hustle, and I totally recommend seeing it, Jennifer Lawrence was incredible, as was the rest of the cast. But anyways, on to the important stuff. What better time of year is there to wear sequins? I saw this top and immediately thought New Years. But of course, I would probably wear it all year round as well. The sequins make for a total standout moment, but the color blocking keeps it cool. And what party attire is complete without the perfect clutch and some killer shoes? 

Pre-Fall Schooling

What I'm Wearing: Skirt Aritzia | Sweater Aritzia | Booties Tory Burch

You know it's fall when the sunglasses finally come off.. But really the weather is starting to cool down and we have officially entered fall, or at least pre-fall. And pre-fall is the perfect time to channel school girl vibes with skirts and plaids. A fuzzy plaid sweater, such as this one which is ridiculously soft, is the perfect piece to keep you warm. While a cute skirt keeps you from dying of heat once you step into the sun. And the perfect pair of booties complete any outfit. 

Pajama Party

While searching the racks at the Saks Off Fifth outlet I (well, my mom) found these amazing pants. Seriously, they are silk patterned pajama trend perfection. Comfort and style, truly a winning combination. With the pajama pant trend and the stylish sweatpants, I'm going to be some comfy all fall long. And, bonus, I found the perfect white tee at Aritzia. 

Mismatched

Summer hasn't quite come to an end (as seen by yesterday's heat) but it is ending soon. So my fall wardrobe is just waiting to be worn, while my summer wardrobe feels so unexciting. I feel like I've worn everything so many times now and I just want to wear something new. But while it's still hot outside I have to figure out new ways to rework my wardrobe. To do that I took one of my favorite pairs of shorts which I would normally pair with a delicate, girly top and did the complete opposite. Instead, I paired these shorts with a destroyed t-shirt to create a mismatched clash of styles, that somehow all works together.
