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!

Keep it Classic

While pretty much all of my outfits have a certain level of quirk, I liked all the classics at work in this look -- from the fall colors to the gingham print to the timeless finishing touches.

Cut Loose

I asked myself what I might miss wearing once cold weather sets in. Nothing says summer quite like cut-offs, so I grabbed this pair of short shorts. In an attempt to class them up a bit, I added a fully buttoned shirt, pearls and pumps.

Trend to Try

One / Two / Three / Four / Five / Six

I'm loving the sleek, ladylike look of pointed toe pumps for fall! Bonus points for ankle straps and cap toes. Will you try this trend?
