Pink & Polkas

This was the first outfit I put together after a major closet overhaul, and I found myself selecting each component very deliberately. It includes some recent favorites as well as this wool blazer that I thrifted a long time ago but have never worn! With all my winter clothes unpacked, lots of unwanted pieces weeded out, and my racks and drawers as organized as they're going to get, I'm hoping to make the most of my closet this coming season!

Trend to Try

One / Two / Three / Four / Five

Burgundy. Oxblood. Bordeaux. No matter what you call this sumptuous shade, it's definitely the color du jour for fall! While it's kind of a classic autumn hue, it's never been one of my favorites until now. I can't get enough... especially in leather and velvet! Will you try this trend?

Juvenile Delinquent

I felt like a cross between a greaser and a square in this outfit, largely thanks to the black poodle sweater!  The past week has been a charmed one when it comes to finding vintage treasures. I spent a few hours on Saturday browsing an antique store where I usually just admire trinkets and ended up walking away with three dresses, this top and a skirt. Then I cleaned up at the thrift store yesterday. Here's hoping this good luck lasts!

Cold Snap

This weekend truly felt like fall. Not only did I pay homage to October with lots of candy, cider and scary movies, the extra chilly temperatures called for my coziest sweater! I also realized that I can't put off the dreaded seasonal closet switch-over any longer. While it will be a chore, I'm hoping a fresh wardrobe will inspire lots of outfit ideas.

Prep School

I doubled up on dots, so why not plaid? I've actually rocked this combination in the past, but it has been awhile.  Plaid is just so quintessentially fall, and the back-to-school season always gives me the urge to wear preppy sweaters and and button-ups.

Building Blocks

While this moderate fall weather is absolutely ideal, it does make getting dressed a little tricky. I'll go out in the morning with my dog and thinks it's chilly and then quickly have to shed my sweater when I venture out into the afternoon warmth. Then by evening it's cold again. That's the beauty of layers, I suppose!

In Transition

Transitional seasons are the best because you can get away with the most random pairings -- like a mini-skirt and sweater! Just another reason to love fall. Happy first day of October (the best month in my humble opinion). Bring on the Halloween preparation!
