Not Your Grandma's Sweater

Mixed media items are my absolute favorite trend this fall. Playing with different textures can take a boring outfit to fabulous!

I can see this outfit being great for an early December get-together. You know that awkward time when it's not quite the season for serious sparkle but you want to look casually polished?

When you're wearing clothing sans color, it's fun to add some brightness in the form of accessories or products. This clutch is so cute - I love the studs!

It made me smile when I titled this post, because I actually do wear my Grandma's sweater all the time. It doesn't have leather sleeves, but it'll always be cool in my books <3

Fall Wishes

When I heard what the theme was for My Friday's Fancies this week, I was super excited to browse the web for fun fall finds. These are wishes -  not realistic.I should wish for a lottery win as I've already went over budget with my fall clothing and (oh hey!) I've booked a trip to Toronto for next month. I'm sure I won't go near any stores though. Ok, maybe just Yorkdale.

TIBI dress / Blazer / 3.1 Phillip Lim ankle booties / Kate Spade black statement necklace / Michael Kors oversized gold watch / Club Monaco grey brim hat

I try this hat on about once a week in Club Monaco. It is too cute. Never mind that I already have a hat almost identical to it and therefore have NO NEED for it.

The black boots, I do need. My only black boots are tall ones and I think I'd wear short ones to work all the time, where my tall ones are more evening appropriate.

I'm bored of my current brown leather jacket... maybe I should consign it and use the profit for a new one.

I have a silver watch - gold would be nice to have too.

Long-sleeved dresses are classy and cozy at the same time. I love the color-blocking on this one and blue and black together is so on trend this season.

The black necklace is a jewelry hole in my life. I wear a lot of things that I could style with a simple black bauble like this.
