Autumn Layers.

In less than a weeks' time our beautiful Michigan weather turned from a little bit chilly to how-many-layers-could-I-pile-on-today-and-still-look-human. 

But, who am I kidding? I love piling on the layers!

Khaki Blazer.

Truth be told, I have been looking for an affordable classic khaki blazer for as long as I can remember. I just never seemed to be able to find the perfect one. So when I came across this Forever21 blazer this past August, it was love at first sight. I loved that the color was a darker, richer khaki, and I couldn't wait to wear it in the Fall. 
Well, my friends, Fall is finally here! So, be prepared to see lots of this little number in the coming weeks. 
Since I bought it quite a few months ago, the exact one was no longer available. But, I did find a few similar ones that are equally fabulous (linked below).
Happy shopping!

Scalloped Skirt.

The first time I saw a photo of this scalloped button-front skirt I knew I had to have it.
The most difficult decision then became "should I get it in navy or in camel?"
As shown below, I decided to go with the camel color; if only because I already own a navy skirt in a similar length and I wanted to change things up a bit. Well, friends, let me be the first to tell you that this skirt did not disappoint!  It is ridiculously soft and the color is even more beautiful in person. Because of the rich hue of the skirt, I decided to pair it with a striped sweater in a contrasting color to break things up and add depth to the look. Finally, I added a chunky cardigan, navy ankle boots, and a blinged out necklace.

Scalloped skirt, you had me at "hello". <3

Modern Retro.

Even though I whole-heartedly appreciate and love the variety of clothing options that we have available to us today, I've always been infatuated with classic, ultra feminine silhouettes. Anything that says "I Am Woman, Here Me Roar".

Something about this silhouette just makes me feel like I have my sh*t together. 

And who couldn't use more of that?!

Red Blazer + Plaid.

The outfit below is from a cold snap a few weeks ago. Currently, though, I am in scorching Southern California for my little brother's wedding. (When did he become all grown up?!) 
It's been a great trip so far. 
On Sunday we threw my soon to be sister-in-law a tea party themed bridal shower. Everyone dressed up in fancy dresses and hats and it.was.amazing. (Check out the pics on Instagram!)  And apart from spending time with my parents (lots of shopping with mom yesterday. Snapchat: hellogorgblog), I've been doing nothing but eating delicious home-made Persian food. 
So, basically, the trip has been perfect. Mwahaha.

The rest of the week is going to be just as busy with other wedding-related activities. Speaking of which, I better get to it!
Here's hoping that when I get back the weather has cooled down enough that I can wear outfits like this again!

Navy Ankle Boots.

Last week's ankle boot shopping spree turned out to be much more of a spree than I had originally intended. (Sorry, honey!)

I ended up purchasing a couple of additional shoes, including this navy version of the cognac pair of boots that I ordered. And call me crazy, but I love the navy pair so much that I'm not even sure if I will keep the cognac pair. The navy ones are seriously gorgeous and on sale for even cheaper than the price that I bought them at! So, if you're looking for a comfortable, beautiful pair of navy ankle boots, these babies are calling your name.
