Punked with a side of polish don't you think? I can only take punk so far so adding a Classic White Blouse was my way of keeping it somewhat classic. I have to give credit where credit is due regarding this skirt. I was doing a Closet Edit for my girlfriend, Caroline, (purge, organize, create rigs--my FAVORITE) and I came across this skirt and about died. Interestingly enough, it's a keepsake from a relative of hers and she was saving it for a possible costume (girl loves a good theme party). Anyhow, I knew this sucker had potential for rigs other than costumes. Don't get me wrong, she's gonna make a superb Scot, but this lovely had to showcase her fall talents. Think outside the box, gang, and you'll be amazed by some of the looks you can create! I'm just back from another fabulous trip to NYC so I've got boatloads to get to today---y'all make it a good one!

Multitasking like a son of a gun this afternoon which would explain the tardiness of today's post (apologies). Wanted to see if I could make this blazer a smidge more Fall-esque (check out my summer rendition HERE), so I decided to toss on another layer with a navy sweater (similar HERE) & some Needlepoint Loafers. Just another friendly reminder to not discount some of your spring/summer pieces---with a few fall textures, you can totally carry them through the cooler months! Alright gang, make it a good one & enjoy the rest of your Wednesday!

An ENORMOUS thank you to Monkee's of Lexington & Adele for letting the lovely Casey Graves & me ransack your joints! Another special thanks to the talented Stacey Gudeman for snapping these pics & gracing Lexington with your fabulous baubles (um yea, she makes jewelry, too)! Alright gang, make it a good one!

Go to fall look right here. Kinda can't go wrong with a Blazer, Boyfriends, Flats, & a side of Leopard. The relaxed fit of these jeans call for a little more polish which is why I prepped them out with the blazer & loafers. I also plan on pairing the blazer with these guys for a streamlined work look. Hope you all had a lovely weekend...weather was just perfect here! Cheers to a fab Monday---make it a good one!
sweater (J.Crew old, men's version HERE), eyelet top (J.Crew, T-shirt Version), jeans (Articles of Society c/o), oxfords (Dolce Vita), bag (Michael Kors), watch (Michael Kors), shades (Ray Ban), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck)
Argyle, eyelet, & oxfords (coveting THESE)---channeling my inner nerd and I've gotta say, feel pretty damn comfy doing so. This rig screams fall and is perf for errands, mom mode, lunch with the gals, etc--so ideal for my lifestyle.
So let me soapbox it for a second with these Articles of Society Jeans. I was intro'd to the line a few months ago and I've gotta say, totally digging their fit and price point. Using the same high quality fabrics, fit standards, and craftsmanship as their luxury counterparts, AOS focuses on bringing quality denim to us regular gals without the crazy designer denim price tag. Bonus: the designers are veterans in the denim industry with prior ties to Hudson, Antik, Vince & Theory--so they're legit needless to say! Alright, gang, have a fab weekend---I've got my mom, Bitsy, coming into town tonight and I couldn't be more excited. Our visits are the BEST--full of laughs, productivity, and good cookin! Headed to some fall festivals this weekend to enjoy this gorg weather! See y'all Monday!
