if it’s fall, then it’s time to update my wardrobe. here are ten items that will keep me at the top of my style game.

leather skirt

dress up a leather skirt for the office with a snazzy jacket or dress it down for the weekend with a turtle and boots. i love the sassy side-zip that adds a modern take to a classic skirt. don’t you love versatility?

houndstooth skirt

a classic houndstooth pattern is given new life with fringe trim. this a-line skirt is the perfect nine-to-five look but can also be worn on the weekend with a pair of tights and boots.

    Love Talbots!! Purchased the houndstooth skirt, white shirt & the Chanel-like jacket. And, definitely do more hauls! Ones from J Crew, Boden & Ralph Lauren would be amazing. Great post & video.

    1. thanks for sharing your thoughts! i will definitely be doing another haul video in the future.

    Love the houndstooth and the leather skirt. Swoon; I’ve had my eyes on them both. I do have that black sweater with the pearls, and it’s such a nice classic look. Glad to see you’re discovering Boden–it’s one of my favorites as well. I’m not always sure what size I need with them; still learning, but their clothes are lovely. Have a great rest of the weekend.

    1. isn’t that sweater a nice weight, sue?! and i think boden is our kind of store. great pieces with pops of color.

    Great Fall update post & fun to see your Talbots “haul”! I’ve ordered the Talbots Anniversary Collection Signature Scarf & it’s my first silk scarf & I love how I’ll be able to fold it different ways to feature different colors. And thanks for demonstrating various ways to wear scarves–I’ll be wearing it as you showed as a belt to dress up my jeans & having fun wearing it different ways!
