Even if you don’t have a calendar handy, it’s easy to see (and feel) these days what season it is. The mornings start off positively chilly, and if you’re like me, you pile on as many layers as you can.

There are 4 layers in this outfit, though you can only really see 2. (My long sleeved top and cardigan are buried under my way-too-big-but-can’t-be-bothered-to-replace field jacket.) The vague 90s vibe, which was in style a hot minute ago (or is it still?), makes this a functional and somewhat on trend outfit for weekend errands on mornings that look like this:

Of course, the temperatures usually rise by the afternoon, and I’m scrambling to make the most of it by shedding some layers for family adventure time.

Other than retro vibes, I’m really digging black & white combos for my weekend outfits.

Black and white go so well with fall colours … *sobs* I am not ready for winter, you guys.

Nothing really new to see here, you guys. You can never go wrong by mixing neutrals (burgundy is totally a neutral) – at least, not without a lot of effort. And, really, who has time for that kind of effort? You all know my beloved camel hair coat, which I have worn approximately exactly 106 times since buying it a year ago. Let’s see what’s going on under it.

My top is a McQueen-esque feather (?) print AllSaints top I found at consignment for $18, and my pants are from American Eagle because they make the most comfortable high rise jeggings under $50. (Technically, they’re $50, but let’s not quibble.) The cardigan I picked up at Winners, and I love this style because it’s basically a fancy blanket. A fancy blanket I can wear to work. The shoes are leopard print and … enough said. And, of course, we have my trusty MbMJ Mag, which is a bag all-star. Not a bad line-up all around, come to think of it.
