Fall Uniform

As much as I love clothes and experimenting with styles, there are always certain key pieces that I can trust to provide as a fallback on those days when I just don't really care about putting together an outfit. In July I posted about my summer uniform a loose and sheer leopard top with denim cutoffs that consistently looked good and felt comfortable to me. For fall it's definitely the utility jacket that gets the most exercise in my closet, they go with practically everything and it's my ultimate "cool" item. Throw it over a sequined dress to get an interesting but chic contrast. Or wear it with a t-shirt and jeans to look laid back but still put together. I've collected several utility jackets over the past year, it's my new black blazer! Love them.

J.Crew jacket (it's on sale now!), Kain shirt, Zara jeans, Opening Ceremony booties, Givenchy bag, RayBan sunnies

  21. In complete agreement with the utility/military jacket for Fall - I have one in a colour similar to the one you're wearing in the photos as well as an army green one. They go with absolutely everything, and can dress down an outfit instantly!

    P.S. Your apartment is ridiculously classy and beautiful!

  23. Anonymous: I haven't altered too much of my own stuff since I can get so lazy with taking it to the tailor. But I've had good experiences with Nelson The Tailor on Rivington and the friends that I've sent their also liked him. Hope that helps.
