Another Season

Clothing Shopping

Another year, another Labor day; it’s time for that post again. We all love fall clothes, and every year, I take peak at the new arrivals online, and I fall in love. This year? Not so much. I had to actually do some digging and searching to find pieces that felt new and different, and even the picks below don’t feel particularly fall-ish. Perhaps I’m getting too picky or perhaps I need to physically see and touch the items? I don’t mean to give this post a negative vibe though! I’m sure I’ll be lusting for a million things once I visit the mall. For now, these are pieces I’d like for my autumn wardrobe!

I have been enjoying wearing dresses to work. This year, I’m definitely transitioning from back-to-school to working woman. I’d love some work appropriate dresses with sleeves for chilly October days.

My Mad Men watching habits have got me really into the bow tie shirt and pencil skirt combo. And I love that I work in an office now where this outfit would not be too dressy.

Despite all the slouchy pants and ultra wide-leg pants out there this season, I’d actually like to find more fitted dress pants. The dress pants I have accumulated from sale racks over the years all seem to be way too long and wide for my taste these days.

I’m obsessed with coats. I probably have too many as is. But, I will no longer live in a down-filled puffer for 4 months of the year!!! And celebrating this fact is enough reason to get a new wool coat. I’ve always wanted camel, but it’s just never happened..

Outside of work, I want to lounge in soft stripes…

…and wear a blazer and jeans on to a casual gathering.

The J Crew McAllister wedges were top of my list last year. I thought I’d easily be able to find an inexpensive replica, but there’s just nothing out there like the originals. So here they are for the second year in a row. And I actually like the Tom’s wedges. Comfortable shoes are awesome.

And lastly, because every season needs a fun going-out top, the one shoulder. I’m a huge fan because at least one arm will be warm, right? Who knows if I would look like a box in this, but it’s cute on her.

And, the inevitable question, what do you have your eye on this fall?

    I love those pants! I don’t like a wide pant either – I’ve been looking for something more fitted but haven’t found a pair yet.
