By this point in the season, most of us start itching for spring, color and some flowers. It's not here yet, so I pulled it into this outfit. The key to fall/winter florals is a dark background so they still look seasonally appropriate. I actually copied this whole outfit from Anne at In Residence.  I just don't have the cool blue suede booties she has, so I wore my black ones. I also wore the same necklace and earrings as the day before. These are my "go to" accessories when I don't have time to think about it.

I think that leggings, a striped tee or turtleneck, and a chambray shirt are all basic pieces that everyone should have in their closet. By now, a utility jacket is pretty much a basic piece too. These pieces can be worn in lots of ways, and when it's super cold, you can layer them all together in one outfit like I did. We went to do a photo shoot Saturday (indoors thankfully) but I had to get to and from it in temps that only went to 38 for the day and 23 mile per hour winds. The hair wasn't going to make it and we were shooting in a gym that I thought might be cold and drafty, so a beanie was in order.

 

I love the little peek of stripes from under the chambray.

Chambray shirt-must have basic. Black jeans- another must have basic. Put them together with a white tank and you have a super simple but chic outfit. Add accessories as you please and you can create a multitude of looks. Sporty chic? add a beanie and converse sneakers. City chic? Add pumps and clutch.  I went with leopard flats and a fringe bag for a casual fall look.

 

One more thing- I love Loft jeans. I have these in a dark wash blue, white and now black. They have the perfect amount of stretch and are super comfortable. Wait for a 50% off sale and they are also super affordable.

You most often see my office attire here but I have my casual moments too. This was one of them. I wore this to Bible study last week. These olive joggers are perfect for casual days and for fall. I debuted them here as a summer outfit, but I knew their late start in my closet and wardrobe would not hinder them getting attention. Olive is on trend for fall and with our warm fall seasons, this combo of chambray and olive is perfect. I look like I'm ready for fall, but the lightweight materials keep me cool.

A chambray or denim top with bright colored shorts? Yes please. This was one of the GYPO Summer Challenge outfits (Day 16) and one of my favorites. I've always liked this denim top with bright colored shorts.  Need a dressier outfit? Pair a chambray button up with a bright colored skirt and add some heels. I bet the necklace would still work with that version too- it worked well with the blazer/work outfit featured yesterday.

 

Are you sick of Nordstrom Anniversary Sale posts? There must be something wrong with me because I have yet to see anything in any post or on site that I HAVE TO have. I'm not a cardholder so I'll have to wait until next week to purchase anyway. I'm not taking out another card just for this. But if I had to make some recommendations, or if money and closet space were unlimited I might pick up these items:

 

I'd get the earrings in emerald green and the split neck blouse in deep teal firework.

Thanks for stopping by!
