Drapped in Fashion

Rag & Bone’s yellow silk-lined black cape was one of many draped jackets sent down the runway this fall––other out-there variations boasted floor-skimming length and dramatic fur accents. Make capes work for you by picking up this more affordable double breasted AB Studio cape from Kohl’s for $40.

Summer Staples Styled for Fall

Since today is the offical first day of fall, I starting pairing down my closet to make some room for fall and winter fashions and I was surprised how it has made getting ready for work so much easier. I began looking at my closet with new eyes. A few summer peices poped out that I want to wear once more before I pack them away, like this white eyelet dress I picked up last summer at Ross for $12.  After pairing it with this scarf and a gold cuff that I just picked up from Forever 21 for $5, I was not so sure I wanted to pack it away.  It is funny how you can transition an outfit with just a few simple accessories.

Mix it up

Colors, prints, fabrics and silhouettes are made to mingle so don’t be afraid to mix it up. Motivated by J.Crew, lately I have been mixing and matching traditional fall fabrics like these trousers with bright bold colors. Rust and Cobalt Blue, who knew?  By grounding the brazen color with a traditional, tailored piece like these pants by Sandro that I picked up for $15 at TJ Maxx, my outfit felt fun and not over the top. I felt funky and professional at the same time, I love that the two can coexist in one outfit.
