sweater: Acne Studios (similar here) // scarf: Zara // jeans: Armani Exchange // bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim // shades: Marc by Marc Jacobs // boots: 3.1 Phillip Lim

A combination of earth tones seems appropriate for fall. This raglan sleeve sweater from Acne Studios is a favorite. The large knit gauges provide extra texture and it’s really warm! To keep my look refined and simple, I decided on black staples and a slim clutch. Oh, and a warm lip for a little pop.

sweater: Madewell // jeans: Armani Exchange // loafers: Prada // scarf: Zara // bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim

An all-grey look to match the weather and time change in Chicago. While I love to wear neutrals and darker colors, the loss of daylight is always such a bummer this time of year. I mean, it’s dark outside before 5:00PM… OK, rant over. I decided on a few shades of grey with a pop of cobalt blue for this look.

sweater: Zara // top: Old Navy // jeans: Armani Exchange // sneakers: Vince // bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs 

I think this oversized cardigan is quickly turning into my go-to sweater for fall. It’s warm, an ideal neutral color and easy to layer. With the weather turning chilly and extra rainy these past few weeks, my wardrobe has transitioned into heavier knits, booties, and coats. Time to pack away those sandals until next June…

leather Jacket: ASOS // shirt: H&M (similar here) // jeans: Armani Exchange // scarf: Zara // boots: 3.1 Phillip Lim 

All black with a few neutrals, leather, and a big scarf is my fall uniform. Throw in some knits here and there and you basically have it! Scarves are my go-to accessory, especially when they are the same size as a small blanket. Not only do they provide layers of warmth, but they add so much texture and interest to any look.

I’m back from a great vacation to Istanbul and Italy for a few weeks with my husband and close friends. Highlights from our excursions soon, but feel free to check out some of my Instagram pictures @taffetaandcedar. I decided on clean lines and minimal pieces for this look. Oh, and I love these leather sandals that I picked up in Capri. Simple and chic! Have a great Monday!

tee: Old Navy // shades: Ray-Ban // pants: Old Navy // bag: Zara // sandals: Armani Exchange (similar here) // lip: YSL – Rose Stiletto

I came across these oh-so-comfy paisley pants last week when I popped into Old Navy to pick up a few basics. Now, I’ve never really been a huge fan of the paisley print, but these somehow work. Probably because they’re black and white! The cinched ankle and drapey fit are perfect for a hot summer day. . . and my upcoming travel, but you’ll hear more about that later!

The weather has been gorgeous these past few days in Chicago, which means I’m out and about as much as possible. I love this little cap-sleeve blouse I picked up at H&M. The material is super thin and a great piece to dress up or wear with cutoffs for running around the city. Have a great Monday!
