moodboard :: fall uniform

Seeing as how the weather dropped into the 50's overnight (you know it's chilly when Charlie decides to burrow under the covers), I thought it was high time for a Fall moodboard. It's been forever since I've done one, and that is just silly. Do enjoy this outfit which I'd like to live in for the next 2 months:

// shirt // jeans // bag // watch // shoes //

All I want to do is mix and match patterns this fall, which will be easy because, as is evidenced above, they are everywhere (as are 70's tributes). Frame denim is killing it (and killing me). Should you splurge on one piece this fall, let it be one of their blouses or cropped flares. You know what else is everywhere? Suede. And fringe. Love this clutch, which could easily be a wallet or makeup bag. And I never thought I'd say this, but all I want to do is wear heels. These DVF pumps have been on my radar for months, but I also love the idea of pairing boots with cropped denim.

Happy Monday, indeed.

what to wear to the office: the remote gal

Good morning, lovely friends! Hope your weekend was fantastic. Ours, though great in its own rite, did not go the way we planned. That Cavalier Meet-Up? We were the only people who showed up. I think the group has 600 members? We were the only ones. We had a good chuckle, let Charlie run around the dog park, then hopped back on the subway and headed home. Charlie enjoyed the air conditioned subway car:

If you're a regular around these parts, a few weeks ago we talked about work uniforms for those of who don't have traditional 9-5's. Let's continue that series with an ode to ladies like me: ladies who work from home. Don't think for a second that I wake up, shower and get dressed before I walk the 6 feet from my bed to my desk. I don't. For my entire life I've spent my time at home in jammies or the like, and I don't plan on changing that - for the most part. So I want to keep this outfit realistic but also challenge myself a bit; there's no reason I can't be uber comfortable while working at home, and there's also no reason I can't feel my best or close to it. With that in mind, here's what I'm dreaming up:

You have to have sweats, right? But let them be stylish. Pair them with a baller silk shirt that can easily be worn out of the house if you have an appointment. Stylish, comfy slip-ons for aforementioned appointment or for dog-walking, bodega-going, etc, and a structured vest that takes the whole outfit from work-at-home to WERK ALL NIGHT (it's Monday, okay? Just accept the cheese and move on). Any self-respecting woman on the go has a great watch, and now you're ready to work.

Enjoy, friends.

xoxo,
