With September nearly behind us and along with it my first month of attempting the French Wardrobe Challenge, I'm staring to think more about what direction I want to take my style in this season. In my perfect world, it would be 'What I would wear if I were on vacation in Paris.' However, not everyday is filled with restaurant openings, blogger events, and day trips to new places. The real challenge lies in finding a style that works for grocery shopping and still lets me feel fabulous.

I honestly need to take a couple of lessons from you when it comes to dressing for fall. You always, always have it together lady!
ReplyDeleteYou look great. I am obsessed with your moto jacket. You have such a cool vibe in these photos.
ReplyDeleteWell luckily that challenge shouldn't be that hard because you always look fabulous! I love this look a lot and I think it would be a perfect transitional look from place to place.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous look!! Love the your casual tee and how it goes so well with the outfit.

I know exactly what you mean --- looking amazing without looking overdone for basic things is one of the hardest things.
ReplyDeleteOh and I like this, specially the tshirt.
Very pretty combo, I find I'll have a theme with outfits too, it's like my head finds an idea and I want to recreate it as many ways as possible. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking leopard is going to be my theme for the next few months as well lol...I also have a NY & leopard look coming up later this week :) I'm loving your tee!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Fall is the perfect time to show off your leopard shoes, I'm wearing mine on my blog today too!
ReplyDeleteFabulous look! I really like the moto jacket!
ReplyDeleteLife would be amazing if only it were filled with soirees, and brunches, and more! I love your chic style!
ReplyDeleteLeopard and neutrals is a pretty awesome way to spend the week!

This look is simple yet very elegant. Black is always a good idea - even for grocery shopping :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are FABULOUS! Everything about this is perfect. As someone who is from New York, I love a good New York tee. Also love the touch of leopard and how draped your jacket over your shoulders. Gorgeous!

The fact that every day isn't filled with restaurant trips, blogger events and sweet treats really is a shame. But I think there's something more admirable in taking care to dress beautifully, but still somewhat practically (because I will never advocate wellington boots, no matter what the weather) for every day life. Anyone can dress up for a special day, but looking beautiful and pulled together everyday is a skill - and one that I think you have :)
ReplyDeletexox,

Loving your top, very stylish!
