I love all the beige-on-beige happening here, plus the navy blue and red accents. A very “fall” outfit, if I do say so myself. Look, I practically blend into the background:

I know everyone got tired of this scarf last year after it popped up on every blog from here to Mongolia, but I’m not a trend snob – new or old, I welcome them all. Just kidding. The reality is that this is still a perfectly nice and cozy scarf, and there is really no reason to give it up … even if it does scream “2014 fashun blogger essential”.

I wish the lighting in these photos was better (stop me if you’ve heard this refrain before) so you would have a better look at my awesome navy GAP cords. They are so very perfect for this season – warm, soft, and comfortable as heck. I found these at my local consignment store and my question is: how come I can never find anything like this at the actual GAP store? I swear their pants haven’t fit me for the past 3 years, at least not any time I’ve tried them on in store. Very curious. I guess I shouldn’t complain, because I got my pair (looking brand new) for only $20, which probably beats even the sale rack on a good day.

ooh, Blue Steel!
ooh, Blue Steel!

On a completely unrelated note: I’m thinking about possibly bringing back the One Girl, One Closet series (see previous posts here, here, here, here, here, here and here), and I am wondering – any takers, Edmonton peeps? The topic could be a closet cleanout, wardrobe remixing, shopping, or a mixture of any of the above. Shoot me a comment or email to let me know if you’re interested!

    • That’s because I’m a dumbass who forgot to add them πŸ™ I’m sorry, you guys, I totally flaked out. I’ve added the links now, and hopefully they work.

  1. I love that jacket!! I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a leather jacket, but its a costly purchase.

    I’d LOVE to be part of a blog post . . . but I realize I’ve been in quite a few, so I’d understand if you want someone new.

    • To be honest, I rarely wear mine. Maybe if I had a black moto one? I’m not sure, though. I think this was a present from my husband, and it was an end-of-season sale.

      I loved working on those posts with you! Would totally be up for another one!

  2. I was going to text you about the links as well, but I forgot my phone at home today. *facepalm* Either way, I’m interested πŸ™‚

    • Let me know how you like it when you get it! Fall is here (at least where I live) so it’s good to make peace with it, at the very least πŸ˜‰

      • I think probably a shop/style my closet. I need help with incorporating new pieces into my existing stuff and I still need weekend help! I could probably use some help for day-to-day workwear too; sometimes I find it hard to decide what to wear.
