Autumn pastels

Share

When I was in high school I went through an overly matchy phase where everything I wore had to match my coveted black and baby pink Air Force Ones. So much pink. When I finally grew out of that, I basically boycotted pink as a result of years of overdoing it.  Now so many years later it seems pink has found it's way back into my wardrobe--in more ways than a magenta blazer! 

As soon as the temperature started dropping, I've been drawn to darker tones like maroon, navy and my current obsession, olive.  Surprisingly, pastels are also appearing quite frequently in my fall outfits, especially my old friend baby pink. It's possible I'm in denial about summer being over and the onset of winter. Whether it be a great pairing option with a darker tone or a way to stand out in the sea of darkness, I've embraced autumn pastels.  

I bought this TopShop wrap dress over the summer, and I wore it the first time with nude peep toes.  This dress can go multi-season by swapping accessories and shoes with warmer weather options.  I'm glad this beauty isn't limited to a specific season because the flowy top and defined waist add a new twist to a classic wrap dress.

Comfy, one-piece outfits and Birks. My summer work-from-home uniform ☀️ I’ve done lots of cozy jumpsuit research and the @everlane luxe cotton jumpsuit is one of my favorites. Comes in six colors and under $70! The black-on-black leather Arizon
Hello 👋 checking in to say hi—I hope everyone is doing ok. I took a break from posting outfit inspo because there are much more important issues that should be taking up your feed right now. Keep listening, keep actioning, keep loving. I&rsquo
With so much uncertainty, it’s time to focus on really smart purchases. There’s nothing more reasonable than a dress that works for every season, and I’ve got the one! I styled my slip dress four different ways, one for each season.
If I was going to the office today, this is what I’d wear. Instead, I’m in my #wfh sweats perched in front on another Zoom meeting 🙃
Jax and I are settling into our new normal. For him it’s a whole lot more cuddles and longer walks. For me it’s a new way to wear a neckerchief, among manyyy other things.
