fall re-style

Just thought I'd share how I re-styled this dress for fall.  Last seen here.

Outfit details:
dress and belt:  Garnett Hill
tights:  Target
scarf:  gift from my mom
shoes:  Clark's

grey + mustard

Today I wore this grey + mustard combination.  The bright cardigan really perks this outfit up, which is actually very nice for a Monday.  I also like that this white top has a lacy overlay--it dresses up the corduroy pants a bit. 

What do you guys think about this pant silhouette (boot cut cords vs. skinny pants)?  I'm so curious to find the best pants shape. 

Outfit details:
mustard cardigan:  Target
grey cords:  J. Crew
white top:  J. Crew
"snakeskin" wedges:  Clark's
watch:  Michael Kors
necklace:  Anthro

scarf + stripes

Happy Tuesday!  I am always so happy to make it through Tuesday of a normal week.  It is all downhill from here, right?  Sort of. 

I threw on this scarf as an afterthought while running out the door, but I ended up really liking it.  I aspire to be able to effortlessly wear scarves.  I love adding color and pattern but usually I'm not sure what to do with them.  Scarf + stripes inspiration here.

Regular scarf inspiration here, here, and here.

Outfit details:
pants:  Talbot's
top:  local boutique
scarf: Gap
shoes:  Clark's

weekend style 2

We went to the Santa Barbara Zoo and Crushcakes today, and here is what I wore.   I've been wearing these shorts a ton since I got them in the summer because they are loose and super comfortable. 

outfit details:
grey tee:  Target
denim shorts:  Lucky Brand
shoes:  Tom's
bracelet:  Mercedes Salazar
necklace:  Lisa Leonard Designs
jacket:  Gap

with orange pants

I haven't been wearing these orange pants all that often, mostly because what do you wear with bright orange? Certainly not black (although maybe on Halloween I will).  I paired them with this blue tuxedo style blouse did a half-tuck.  Too sloppy?  I'm okay with it.  Also:  I liked clicking around in these heels all day.

Outfit details:
blouse:  Lands' End Canvas (a couple years ago)
pants:  Lands' End Canvas (last year)
belt:  Gap (I think), old
shoes:  Clark's

tuesday workwear

It has been so long since I've blogged that I feel a little rusty!  We had a 3 day weekend and just got back from Knott's Berry Farm late(ish) last night.  I threw this outfit together quickly this morning (I actually wore it last week too, so I knew I liked it).

These linen Talbot's pants have turned out to be real workhorses this fall season.  I'm wearing them much more now than I did in seasons past.  They just seem sort of dressy and work-y to me.  The top is one I purchased at Anthro over the summer, and I just broke it out last week.  I was waiting for fall weather to arrive.  I'm so happy with it, and plan to repeat this outfit quite a bit while the fall is still so warm.  And the clogs?  Those I bought for Faith over the summer (long story--originally I'd purchased some Swedish Hasbeens for her, which she loved, but the leather strap on those broke in the first week and we had to return them.  I got her these instead, but she didn't like them).  Aren't they cute?  I think they make the outfit.

I'm still doing a modified "capsule" wardrobe and I love it.  I love having fewer choices and it is interesting to see what I choose to have out and what I have no desire to wear (and stays packed up in trash bags in my studio).  I'll write more about this eventually.  I've had a lot of fun pondering my wardrobe, truth be told.

pants:  Talbot's
