FALL UNIFORM

This look is often my go-to casual "uniform" for fall. It has all the things I need to feel prepared for temperamental weather: layers, tall boots, a jacket that offers just enough warmth, and a colorful scarf. Top it off with a chunky watch and earrings and you're good to go!
Most any boot will do, but two-tone boots are especially fun and add a little unexpected flair. The pair that I'm wearing in the outfit below are from Etienne Aigner, and sadly no longer available. But I love this gorgeous Tommy Hilfiger pair and this other one from Liz Clairborne (also available in wide width).

Blazer + Skinny Dress Pants.

I'm a sucker for a great skinny pant and blazer combo. 
Ever since I bought my first pair of skinnies, I've been completely hooked. And things only got better when I discovered THE perfect dressy skinny pants at The Limited five or six years ago (more to come on these pants later on this week!). 
Throw on a blazer and a fun scarf, and voilá! You're well on your way to stylish and professional.

Red Blazer.

Just as in the last one, I can't begin this post without thanking you for being so warm and full of love. I will never be able to fully express how much it has meant to me and how incredibly grateful I am. 
I am not one for sharing deeply personal things on here. (After all, this is a style blog.) However, it was becoming increasingly hard for me to get over the hurdle of posting about something fun like fashion when something so tragic wasn't yet properly addressed. So, thank you for allowing me to open up about the gigantic pink elephant in the room so that I could get back to the fun parts of this little blog. You continue to be the absolute best.


With that said, what's more versatile, but still appropriate for Valentine's Day than a fire engine red blazer?! 
...
Hope your day is filled with more love than your heart can handle❤️

Sequin Dress.

I'm a big advocate of sequins-- especially during the holidays!

Of course by "holidays" I mean anytime between November and March. ;)  

But, a dress covered in gold sequins? I die!

I may even pull it out for New Year's Eve!

Ask anyone who knows me well and they'll tell you that I'm kind of a bag lady.
