Autumn Sunsets and Plaid

 

 Jacket - Mango (old, similar here) // Sweater - J.Crew // Shirt - H&M (similar) // Pants - H&M (love these) // Shoes - no brand, Keds version here // Necklace - J.Crew (on sale!) // Purse - Milly (old, loving this bag)

I had my dad snap a few pictures of my outfit before my sister and I went out this evening (sorry for the slight bluriness..silly daylight savings time and work). It was my mom's turn to host the neighborhood ladies' monthly Bunco night, which means the rest of us had the choice to hide in our rooms for the entire evening or retreat. We chose the latter and down in a nearby coffee shop.

I won't lie, being at the coffee shop *almost* made me miss being in school, but only because I miss having a purpose for why I'm hanging out there for hours at a time. Nowadays I feel a little silly when I hang out at my local coffee shop when all I'm doing is scrolling through Pinterest and online window shopping, even though it doesn't stop me from doing just that :). 

However, I must say it felt pretty good tonight overhearing the group of girls behind me diligently working on a presentation and paper knowing all I had on my agenda was look at pretty pictures of clothes, food, cities, and baby animals :)

Fall Uniform

Coat - J.Crew // Sweater - Theory // Scarf - Pieces (love this scarf) // Jeans - Rag & Bone // Boots - Lacoste // Purse Dooney & Bourke (similar) // Shades - Ray-Ban

Fall is definitely one of my favorite seasons of the year. Unfortunately for us Michiganders, it does not typically last the 3 months the calendar claims it to be around. I've found the optimal times where you have the beautiful colored leaves, the crisp air, and the gorgeous light only lasts for a few weeks before the cold and gray start to set in.

Luckily for me, fall fashion lasts longer than a few weeks :) With my coat and boot obsession, my wardrobe gets maximized this time of year and the mixing and new combinations seem endless and fun! When I'm in a rush (which is often) and need to put together an outfit quick, I gravitate towards a chunky sweater, scarf, warm coat, and a cute but functional pair of boots. Fast, easy, and looks put together even without putting too much thought into it: my kind of look :)
