Happy Friday! It finally feels like fall here in the DC area and I’m pretty pumped about it. It’s finally time to pull out my favorite jackets, sweaters, and boots! What are you plans this weekend? We are laying low and having friends over on Saturday to cook and do all the fall things with our dogs. I can’t wait!

Every fall I always get SO much use out of my utility jackets that are great for layering with denim, skirts, and dresses. I always like to buy jackets that will pretty much go with just about all of the above so finding a few great quality ones in neutral colors are key. I’m currently loving brown colors for fall this season so when I saw this jacket I knew it would be a great addition to my wardrobe this season. The fit is also so flattering and the material is very soft. A really win!

I also recommend an easy suede moto if you like to add a little edge to your look.

I’m currently obsessing over plaid jackets right now and how cute is this one from Free People

This grey utility jacket would go with so much too.

How cute is this herringbone? Would look so good with dark denim jeans or floral fall dresses.

You can never go wrong with the classic green utility jacket.

This cozy teddy jacket would be perfect for staying warm but chic at the same time.

Hi guys! How did the weekend treat you? After what seemed like a month of non-stop rain we finally had a beautiful weekend! We headed to the beach to soak in chilly mornings and sunny beach days. I love the beach this time of year because it is SO much quieter and the weather is usually amazing at the end of September into early October. We were also finally allowed to bring our dogs on the beach which makes me happy. It felt so good to be away for a little bit. Doesn’t it always feel nice?

Chilly mornings and nights call for longer sleeves to keep warm. My wardrobe definitely starts to get more casual during the colder months so I make sure to stock up on the basics like long-sleeve knits and sweaters. I hardly ever splurge too much on sweaters and I’ve found 4 great go-to shops that have the best selection of quality knitwear that don’t break the bank. Often times you think cheaper knitwear won’t last more than one season but I’ve definitely been super surprised at that how much the quality of my sweaters from these shops have held up.

1. H&M – This is my favorite place to load up on sweaters. They have such a big selection with a lot of neutral colors to choose from. This sweater that I’m wearing above is so thick and cozy. Perfect for those chilly fall days. I also picked up this sweater (under $30) in like 3 different colors. It will be perfect for layering underneath jackets.

2. Lou and Grey – I love coming to Lou&Grey for super soft tee’s. They are seriously game changers. I love this long-sleeve tee for wearing under cardigans.

3. Everlane – Everlane is great for high quality basics at a discounted price! They are well-known for their cashmere sweaters that come in every color you could ever want and I just picked up this sweater in camel because I know it will go with all my tweed blazers. I also own and love this simple crew in black that I’ve gotten a lot of use out of.

4. And Other Stories – I’m really into the sweaters at And Other Stories right now! I just picked up this rusty orange turtleneck that is SO soft and cozy. I am loving rusty orange so much this season and they have a lot to choose from like this one and this one.

I call this my first official outfit post of the Fall season! I had impatiently been waiting until the right moment because we always get a few weeks of an Indian Summer here in DC but it’s finally here! Fall is definitely my #1 season for fashion. I love the rich colors and the endless ways to wear all the fun accessories and layers. It’s a season that makes getting dressed really fun because it’s never too sweltering hot or frigid cold.

Today I’m talking about one of my favorite colors of the season: burgundy. Burgundy is always a favorite hue of mine every fall and winter. I even made it a part of my wedding bouquet two years ago. It’s such a romantic and universally flattering shade on everyone. It is also a color that you can surely wear from fall into the holidays. I love subtle hints of burgundy it all elements of clothing and even some beauty like this lip color in Charlotte, this nail color, this pretty dress, this similar top to mine above, this luxurious scarf, this leather moto, or this gorgeous tote.

I chose this blouse because a knew it would be an easy way to wear my favorite shade of burgundy for the office, date nights, etc. This outfit is also such a great segway into fall styling in general. It is ideal for temperatures in the 60s to low 70s. You can always pair a leather jacket with it if you get cold at night.
