There is something to be said about exceptionally well-made garments. To begin, they fit better. Specialty items often require a trip to the tailer. I was pleasantly surprised that this stunner fit me right out of the box! Second of all, they are more resilient. This pretty little thing does not wrinkle. In fact, it holds its shape extraordinarily well. This is a huge plus if you travel during the holiday season. I think it is safe to say we can all appreciate a low maintenance garment! Finally, the quality is first class. This skirt literally resembles liquid metal. I’ll take it!

I do not wear neutral colors very often, but I see why they are so popular. You can dress them so many different ways! Today I am demonstrating a monochromatic ensemble featuring gray and white hues. For whatever reason, when I look at this skirt, a winter wonderland comes to mind. With no chance in hell of a blizzard hitting San Francisco, the least I could do is dress in snowy colors! Plus, I was dying to wear these incredible hoop earrings. Style tip: When piecing together a monochromatic look, create dimension by varying textures and tones. Next time I’ll style this silver metallic skirt with black accents. Picture this: black pearl belt, black boots, white chunky sweater, and a black cape.

Two-Piece Set from TopShop

This two-piece set is my favorite and it’s only $64! Co-ords are awesome because they take the thinking out of creating an ensemble. I love pastels when you are least expecting them – like during the fall season. As far as shoes, this look will pair nicely with black booties and a moto jacket. What are you waiting for?!

Camo Cuteness

Ok, remember that camo jacket I brought to Bend, OR?! I wear it at least twice a week. Camo is very versatile. Think of it as an alternative to khaki! It looks great with blue or black denim and you can wear it all year round. For $38 there is no better time to invest in trending items such as this.

11 | 12 | 10

Neutrals and Basics

When in doubt, buy a neutral. Neutral garments are like basic garments, they will never go out of style! Although they are not as much fun to buy, you’ll be glad you have them. Consider a cardigan that you can layer with. Or nude pumps that you can wear with boyfriend denim. You snooze you loose, shop all of your fall essentials today!

Hoods all the way

Hoods, hoods, HOODS! If it doesn’t have a hood, do not purchase it. Hoods are so handy when you forget your umbrella or unexpectedly get caught in a shower. All of these will keep you dry on the fly.

Secure Pockets

Good pockets will pay off. Make sure your jackets have functional pockets that fasten closed. Webbing or netting will not keep the water out. Ideally you want a large pocket that zips or buttons when not in use.

Every day Jacket

Consider styles that you enjoy wearing on a day-to-day basis. Durable fabrics can get pricey, so choose something you would be comfortable wearing even when it is not raining.
