Fall Layers

Who is excited about weather cool enough for some fall layers? This girl ↑. While this wasn't exactly the most dressed up work outfit, it was warm and cozy and I loved getting to do a little pattern mixing. Yet another one of those days where I'm super grateful to work in a more casual environment! For a more dressed up look, it would be fun to layer this vest with a striped dress. Just look at this pin...seriously cute. A solid dress (like the one I featured yesterday) and pretty scarf would look great as well. Well, that's settled, I know what I'm wearing the next cold day!

On a side note: these riding boots are a true wide calf and currently 30% off! They're real leather and come in several shades: black, cognac (what I'm wearing), dark brown and ash. After last year's disaster with ordering the Madewell Archive boot on eBay (beware, NOT a true wide calf) and attempting to have them widened by a cobbler - only to discover the heel of one boot was irreparably broken - my husband bought these for me as a Christmas present. It about broke my heart to throw the archive boots in the trash. Expensive lesson learned - don't buy shoes from eBay unless you know they'll fit and/or make sure the seller accepts returns! On a positive note, these Arturo Chiang boots are great. They're comfortable and the boot shaft fits with pants or on their own. If you're looking for a wide-calf riding boot, I highly recommend these!
