Kinda Sweater Weather
Silence + Noise Harley shirttail turtleneck sweater, c/o Urban Outfitters. Grid-check skirt, JOA. Marando ankle boots, Steve Madden. Darcy satchel, Rebecca Minkoff. Narrow-brim wool hat, Zara (sold out).
At the first sign of gloomy weather, I eagerly pulled on my new turtleneck sweater. Nothing feels more like fall than a cozy knit! It's the perfect sandy taupe shade and the interesting shirttail cut of the hemline makes it a lot fresher than a turtleneck my mom might wear. I kept the rest of my outfit pretty colorless too, to celebrate the mostly cloudy day. And then added a boldish lip color to avoid looking too washed out. I can't help but feel enthralled by the hint of an autumn chill, even if it can barely be called such.
Sweet Summer
Embroidered tunic blouse, c/o Style Moi. White skater skirt with lace hem, c/o Aeropostale (sold out, similar). Lace-up gladiator sandals, Mango. Woven bucket bag, Urban Outfitters. Hat, Prima Donna. Necklace, Mango (on sale).
Lightweight whites always feel right in the summer sunshine. My normal response to a peasant-style tunic blouse like this would be to pair with a simple pair of denim shorts, but I decided change things up a little and try it with a skirt. I ended up really liking these two together. I hardly ever find myself at the mall because my patience for flipping through racks is somewhat limited (it's so much easier to do everything from behind a computer screen), but my "hard work" paid off when I found this white skirt at Aeropostale! I had been eying some more expensive versions so it was quite the score. It's such a wearable piece that it's definitely been seeing a lot of action this summer!
The Ribbed Crop
Ribbed knit crop top, Forever 21. Abstract ruffled skirt, Forever 21 (on sale). Metallic mid-heel gladiator sandal, Report Signature. Mini Valentina crossbody, Botkier.
I'm wearing a Forever 21 look today. I can't think of a brand that I've grown up with any more than Forever 21. It was the first place I started shopping for clothes in middle school once I could finally fit into "juniors" clothing. It's been a constant in my wardrobe ever since, while other brands have come and gone. So a lot of people may knock it, but there are pieces that I've had for years. I already know that this ribbed crop top will be staying with me for a while. The cream color is so versatile that it looks good with just about any skirt in my closet, and some of the shorts too. And even though this printed skirt is a trendier item, I've had it for over a year (see post here) and I'm still loving it.
Simple Things
A t-shirt dress is such a simple article of clothing but I'm really loving the look lately. This one from Boohoo is definitely a new favorite, though I kinda wish I had sized up for a looser fit. Since a t-shirt dress is so plain, I tied a shirt around my waist to add some interest. The sandals and the baseball cap are perfect for sunshine-filled days and the lightweight shirt is fully functional as an the excellent cover-up after sun down.

cool for school
In college, my roommate would tease me about getting excited and planning my outfits for the first few days of school. Even though I'm not a student anymore, I definitely still wish I was, and I can't help but get excited when this time of year rolls around. There's something about a new pencil box filled with brand new supplies that just exhilarates me!
So here I am in a quintessential back to school outfit: plaid skirt (will be wearing this over and over this fall) and a denim jacket (around the waist because it's definitely still way too hot for that). And I actually remember going through so many pairs of plimsolls in my elementary school days, although they were not nearly as cool as these floral-printed Keds. The pretty necklace is my attempt at looking a bit more sophisticated-slash-my age, and this gorgeous piece was a steal I picked up from J.Crew Factory. They have such awesome jewelry there at reasonable prices! Do you still remember any of your back to school outfits?

black and white
Red shoes are always my answer to an outfit that needs some color, so I knew these red d'Orsay flats would be a great buy! I can never regret red shoes.

the one with that scarf
This beautiful plaid scarf from Zara has definitely made its rounds this season so I'm sure you're all familiar with it already. I don't remember which blogger I saw it on first but I fell in love with it upon first sight; however, had to endure a very long wait for the weather in LA to cool down to scarf-wearing levels. It's got a great heft to it, so it's been looking beautiful folded up on the couch like a mini throw. We're still not really at the right temperature for wearing such a heavy scarf, especially not during the day, but finally had a few drops of rain! Not much, but highs have to the 60s! How exciting :).

black slack
An outfit made of the very basics: black work pants, a plain white tank top, and a classic denim jacket. The last time I wore a pair of black slacks was several years ago, so I decided to purchase this pair I spotted on ASOS with a more updated silhouette and a cropped hem. I've always been pleased with the fit of their clothes and fit is everything when it comes to slacks! So I knew I wouldn't be disappointed.
