Thoughts: I’ve been saving this dress since the spring, planning to use it to replicate some Ralph Lauren romantic-prep outfits. I wanted something frothy and floral; initially I was looking for a black floral chiffon maxi skirt (or dress) similar to my original inspo, but this brown handkerchief hem dress hits the spot. Plus, I am a bit obsessed with brown this fall. Never thought I would say that but here we are. Head to toe in brown. Who am I, even?

Thoughts: Never fear, I still do colour. I randomly hit on this sweater-jacket combination and I am obsessed. The jacket is a chartreuse-purple houndstooth, though the colours don’t photograph as vivid as they are in real life. I love how well this pattern pairs with this particular stripe sweater. I have a few (all from Gap) and I can tell you — not all are equal when it comes to this particular combo. I added the skirt to bookend the stripes, and it think that really works too. It’s academichic with a colourful twist.

Thoughts: Speaking of colour … here’s something to really wake up your eyeballs. It’s fun. I love the flower pin — it reminds me of SATC’s Carrie.
Details: Club Monaco sweater (retail), Della Spiga jacket, Josef belt, BDG pants, Chelsea Crew shoes (all thrifted)
Thoughts: As much as I’m loving brown right now, I have to say that green-blue combinations are a forever favourite. There is something so lush but also soothing to this pairing. But look: still managed to sneak in some brown too.

Thoughts: Same basic outfit as last week, but changed up the shoes and topper. I like this version too. It’s rare that I repeat outfits this literally, but I couldn’t resist. The brown-black combo in the shoes has inspired me to extend that palette to the rest of my outfits.
Details: J. Crew sweater and shirt, Urban Outfitters pants, Mia shoes
Thoughts: An old sweater that still brings me joy, plus some new(ish) pants that are just so easy to wear. Sometimes, simple outfits are just the ticket.
