You know I can’t resist a sweatshirt with some kind of cute embellishment! I’m pretty sure J.Crew makes them just for me (and yet they still charge me the same – no fair). I love my navy one so much I’m keeping an eye on the gray version.

When I wear something really simple and casual like this, I tend to have a little more fun with shoes and accessories…you know, because my shoes and accessories are normally so drab. 😉 Seriously though, I like to find the happy balance between sticking out like a sore thumb and just blending in with the crowd, so mixing basics with statement pieces is my jam.

Speaking of statement pieces, I think I’m going to take the plunge this month on an absolutely fabulous yellow suede Rebecca Minkoff bag. Shopbop is having a big sale for the next 3 days (ending Friday night). You can get 25-30% off almost everything (exclusions here) so that’s all the convincing I need! The code is MAINEVENT16. Some of my other favorite statement splurges: these suede pumps with metal accents, this emerald green watch, and these tassel earrings (which are actually not a splurge at all). Shop responsibly, my friends!

Did you miss Frocktober yesterday?! I never said I’d wear dresses every day this month, just most days. 🙂 Wearing this burnt orange dress is pretty much like dressing as a fall leaf. If this dress could sing, it would be like: “I’m bringin’ autumn back (yeah), your photosynthesis don’t know how to act (yeah).

The only challenge to this dress is the super low-cut neckline. I’ve layered a tank underneath before, but that just seems kind of boring. I got more creative this time and layered a sleeveless button-up shirt underneath. I wasn’t sure it would work but it kind of looks like it was part of the dress all along!
