Effortless...

Wednesday, October 31, 2012

Hi Loves! I hope you're all having an amazing week so far! And to all my east coast readers, I pray you are all staying safe and dry during the hurricane. Thank you so much for all of your sweet words on my last post, it really meant a lot to me. 
On to today's look, if you were to ask me what my fall "go-to outfit" was, this would be a variation of it. A thick scarf, sweater/cardigan/blazer, jeans, and boots. Simple as that. When in doubt, this look always works for me! It requires little to no effort to throw on when I'm in a hurry but yet still look put together. My blogger friend (in my head :p) Folake of Style Pantry inspired this look, how'd I do?

I have on a black cardigan and burnt orange knit snood, so I'm kinda in the Halloween spirit right? :P Tonight, I will be probably subjected to a scary movie marathon with my Fiance and lots of candy, and I may even post a pic of Polo's (our dog) costume on Friday's post! What are your Halloween plans??
Style Guide: When wearing black and white with denim, try keeping your accessories (scarf, clutch, and boots) in the same color family, for a surprising twist that makes the look cohesive!

THE LOOK: | Knit Snood: H&M '11 (similar) | Button Down: Thrifted | Boyfriend Cardigan: H&M '10 (similar) | Jeans: Gap (similar) | Boots: Target '11 (similar) | Clutch: Vintage |

What is your Fall go to outfit?? I love hearing from you!

Linking up with Pleated Poppy, Rolled Up Pretty, Transatlantic Blonde, Quite the Blog, and Marionberry Style!

Have a wonderful day!!

    Such a great fall outfit with the rich warm colors. I'm really wanting some boots like that. They look both stylish and comfy. Two musts for me.

    I love effortless looks - they're really the best. Someday, I'd like my entire closet to be pieces that I can mix for a great look without having to stand there for 30 minutes being indecisive! :)

    LOVE that snood! So comfy. Don't you feel like snoods are travel size pillows? It's like a more fashionable version of those neck pillows on airplanes. No? Anyone? lol
