Autumn is the time for light layers. What better to layer with than a fun vest over a long sleeve top? This is my newest vest, bringing my total up to three! And they are all different which is great. This shirt is also one of my favorite buys from the past couple years. It is soft, comfortable AND makes me look super thin. I know, I know, I'm already skinny, but there's just something about it that makes me feel extra good. I think it's the black sleeves and horizontal stripes with varying colors.

Top: Philosophy (Marshalls), Vest: Simply Vera Vera Wang c/o Kohl's, Jeans: FRAME 'Le Skinny de Jeanne Jeans' (Shopbop), Flats: Diane von Furstenberg (Marshalls)

CAPES! CASHMERE! COMFY! Excuse the all caps, but this cape is one of my favorite things. Sooo soft it feels lke I'm wearing a blanket, which I basically am.  I originally was going to just wear the top and jeans but felt like it was a little boring and decided to add in the cape.  I have had this cape for exactly two years today according to this blog post!

What did I tell you, favorite combination. Things are going to be pretty similar around here the next few months. It will either be sweaters or blazers until Spring! I'll try to keep things interesting with some other combinations too, don't want to bore you guys too much.

Happy October!! I'm slowly easing in to wearing boots starting with this lighter pair. I don't think I'm ready for my taller boots yet, but I may change my mind tomorrow and break them out!  These early Fall days are perfect for my favorite outfit combination: a simple (or not so simple) sweater and jeans. In this case suede jeans I bought in Spring and was only able to wear once because temperatures warmed up!

This outfit also features the results of my Irresistible Me's Sapphire Curling Wand review.

Sweater: Anthropologie, Pants: Blank NYC (South Moon Under), Boots: Chloe (Roundabout Resale)

My wardrobe update list has been reset for the Fall months. Starting with a clean slate is always nice. Let's see how small I can keep my lists for the next six months! While I behaved on the clothing front this month I was a little bad with other purchases. It was also quarterly tax month so I feel very poor, ha ha. The joys of freelancing!

This month I was fortunate enough to get a bunch of fun new items from my Kohl's photoshoot including something that was on my "need for Fall" list: navy heels! I got ankle boots AND pumps, score! I also bought a cropped sweater from Zara to wear with my high waisted jeans. I'd been searching for one for months and this one was really fun, although a bit pricey. I had some advertising money to use though!
